Microbeam Analysis in Biology contains the proceedings of a workshop on Biological X-Ray Microanalysis by Electron Beam Excitation, held in Boston, Massachusetts on August 25-26, 1977. This book focuses on the principles, techniques, and biological use of electron probe microanalysis, energy-loss spectroscopy, and ion probe microanalysis. This text reflects the emphasis of the workshop on presenting the principles of analysis, the optimization of operating conditions, the description of successful techniques for sample preparation and quantitation, the illustration of problems and pitfalls, and the direction of microbeam analysis in biology.
This book explores various social, cultural, political and economic issues through the lenses of various sport mega-events in the twenty-first century, including the Olympic Games, and the World Cup and European Championships in football. In a time where sport mega-events are closely followed by controversies, legacy discourses and questions of their governance, the chapters within this book showcase why sport mega-events continue to ignite important questions for scholars, commentators, fans and sport and political authorities. By covering various topics emerging around sport mega-events such as physical activity, legacies, rhetoric, media coverage, environmental impacts, diplomacy and spec...
High-throughput screening and combinatorial chemistry are two of the most potent weapons ever to have been used in the discovery of new drugs. At a stroke, it seems to be possible to synthesise more molecules in a month than have previously been made in the whole of the distinguished history of organic chemistry, Furthermore, all the molecules can be screened in the same short period. However, like any weapons of immense power, these techniques must be used with care, to achieve maximum impact. The costs of implementing and running high-throughput screening and combinatorial chemistry are high, as large dedicated facilities must be built and staffed. In addition, the sheer number of chemical...
This book, Correlation Analysis in Chemistry: Recent Advances, is a sequel to our Advances in Linear Free Energy Relationships. t The change in the title is designed to reflect more accurately the nature of the field and the contents of the volume. The term LFER is still widely used, but it is often applied rather loosely to correlation equations that are not LFER in the restricted sense of a relationship involving logarithms of rate or equili brium constants on each side of the equation. The term "correlation analysis" seems to us more appropriate for the whole subject. The use of this term has compelled us also to introduce "chemistry" into the title; we have preferred not to prefix this w...

This book is unique in its utilization of the natural sciences to explain and illustrate key concepts of communist philosophy. In its recapitulation of the spirit of Engels’s unfinished manuscript, The Dialectics of Nature, it relies on the physical sciences developed since Engels’s time to reaffirm the validity of materialist dialectics, a point which is more easily made in the context of natural phenomena than it is in social phenomena. The basic philosophical tenets underlying Communist ideology are all supported by the natural sciences. The book is situated within the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist tradition. Its overarching theme is the need to reclaim our most fundamental weapon of that tradition—it’s methodology or philosophy—which has been vitiated or even scrapped by well-intentioned revolutionaries throughout the 20th century. In particular, some of Mao’s philosophical formulations are found to be erroneous and in opposition to his practice. With the rapidly accelerating deterioration of the global capitalist order in progress since 2007, the urgency of this reclamation cannot be over-emphasized.

The recent data flood has required greater and greater reliance on computational usage in plant biology. This Research Topic will focus on the utility of computational approaches across the breadth of modern plant biology with particular focus on the following areas: (i) Comparative genomics- gene family size in the green lineage (ii) Adaptive evolution - specifics of development (iii) Adaptive evolution - specifics of secondary metabolism (iv) Translational biology- co-response analysis from arabidopsis outwards (v) Conserved(and differential) transcriptional response to stress (vi) Transcriptomics databases (vii) Translatomics (ix) Proteomics- abundance (x) Proteomics- location, (xi) Proteomics- interactions (xii) Proteomics databases (xiii) he activome (xiv)Metabolite-abundance (xv) metabolite- location (xvi) Experimental flux calculations, (xvii)dvanced metabolomic technologies (xviii) metabolite databases (xix) Genome wide metabolic modelling
The impact of television on the lives of the people including the adolescents is widely investigated by the behavioral scientists and media scholars in the world. The present book is primarily based on an empirical investigation conducted by the authors in Karnataka state on the impact of television on adolescents. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Global Strategy for Women's, Children's and Adolescents' Health calls for accelerated action for the health and progress of adolescents. The book is the result of the comprehensive empirical study carried out by the authors. It contains about 07 chapters namely - salient features of television, determinants of personality, scient...
Religion as a Social Determinant of Public Health explores the complex, multifaceted role of faith traditions in public health throughout history, today, and in the future. The volume brings together leading scholars in the social sciences, public health, and religion to address the important yet often neglected role of religious institutions in health and development efforts around the globe.
