Spectral and Imaging Cytometry
This second edition volume expands on the previous edition with discussions on the latest approaches used in the spectral cytometry field. Beginning with a brief history of spectral cytometry development, this book continues with a section addressing new protocols in different areas of imaging cytometry based on the unique technology of Imagestream and also introduces FlowCam – cytometer with capabilities of analyzing phytoplankton and zooplankton. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include brief introductions to their respective topics, complete lists of the materials and reagents necessary, and reproducible laboratory protocols with tips on troubleshooting and recommendations. Cutting-edge and thorough, Spectral and Imaging Flow Cytometry: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition is a valuable resources for beginners and professionals interested in learning more about this developing field. Chapters 1, 2, and 5 are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
Novel Approaches To Predict And Improve Sperm Function During Semen Storage
Artificial insemination (AI), which entails handling and storage of the male gamete, is the assisted reproductive technology (ART) most popularly applied to domestic animals thanks to the several advantages that it provides compared to natural mating. Over 90% of cattle and pig breeding occurs by AI worldwide. In addition, ARTs represent an irreplaceable and powerful tool in conservation breeding programs to save endangered species from extinction. For all these reasons, it is important to optimize semen storage protocols by enhancing sperm lifespan without compromising sperm function. Additionally, it is of key interest to identify sperm traits that can predict the ability of the male gamete to withstand the preservation process using novel techniques and analyses. These approaches would translate into increased fertilization rates in AI outcomes that may have important economical and ecological implications.
Imaging Flow Cytometry
This detailed volume for the first time explores techniques and protocols involving quantitative imaging flow cytometry (IFC), which has revolutionized our ability to analyze cells, cellular clusters, and populations in a remarkable fashion. Beginning with an introduction to technology, the book continues with sections addressing protocols for studies on the cell nucleus, nucleic acids, and FISH techniques using an IFC instrument, immune response analysis and drug screening, IFC protocols for apoptosis and cell death analysis, as well as morphological analysis and the identification of rare cells. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Imaging Flow Cytometry: Methods and Protocols will be a critical source for all laboratories seeking to implement IFC in their research studies.
Ecophysiology of Tropical Plants
Plants in tropical regions are coping with enormous challenges of physiological stresses owing to changing environmental and climatic conditions. Rapid growth of human population and rampant exploitation of fossil fuels and other developmental activities are actively contributing to such perturbations. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has projected a sustained increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and thereby a rise in global temperature in the coming decades. The resultant changes in precipitation patterns are now evident across the globe due to intensication of hydrological cycle. Moreover, gaseous and particulate pollutants are also an immense challenge for tropical plan...

Red Blood Cell Aggregation
Red blood cells in humans—and most other mammals—have a tendency to form aggregates with a characteristic face-to-face morphology, similar to a stack of coins. Known as rouleaux, these aggregates are a normally occurring phenomenon and have a major impact on blood rheology. What is the underlying mechanism that produces this pattern? Does this really happen in blood circulation? And do these rouleaux formations have a useful function? The first book to offer a comprehensive review of the subject, Red Blood Cell Aggregation tackles these and other questions related to red blood cell (RBC) aggregates. The book covers basic, clinical, and physiological aspects of this important biophysical ...
The Aral Sea
The book is structured into six core parts. The first part sets the scene and explains how the use of Aral basin water resources, primarily used for irrigation, have destroyed the Aral Sea. The team explains how spheres and events interact and the related problems. Part 2 examines the social consequences of the ecological catastrophe and the affect of the Aral Sea desiccation on cultural and economic conditions of near Aral region. Part 3 explores the scientific causes of the destruction using detailed analyses and data plus some of their own research spanning aquatic biology, terrestrial biology, hydrology, water management and biodiversity. They also share some of the latest archaeological...
