Oxidative Stress Response in Plants, Volume 105 covers environmental stress conditions and the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). During many stress conditions such as salt, drought, heat, and pathogen infection, changes in metabolic fluxes and alterations in enzymatic activities result in the accumulation of ROS, a major contributor to loss of growth and productivity. High levels of ROS can lead to oxidative stress which damages proteins and DNA, ultimately resulting in plant cell death. This volume provides comprehensive insights into ROS biology in plants, with a focus on plant growth and development, plant defense responses, and plant acclimation to challenging environments. On the other hand, ROS evolves into potent signaling molecules that play crucial roles in abiotic and biotic stress sensing, integration of different environmental signals, and activation of stress-response networks, thereby contributing to the establishment of improved stress resilience. - Provides a comprehensive overview of ROS biology in plants - Focuses on the production, processing and signaling roles of ROS in plants - Written by world-leading experts
A light hearted romance set on the beautiful islands of Mykonos and Syros. As the chorus of Happy Birthday ends, Pamela can hear daughters, Helen and Stephanie, whispering, ‘Make a wish, mum’. As she blows out the candles her wish is made. Are their fates now sealed? Has she put her daughters under a Greek spell so her birthday wishes will be granted, or will it end up as a Greek tragedy? At thirty-three, Helen is a career woman. She’s worked hard and progressed through the ranks of a local travel company. She had aspirations of becoming a director, but now she’s thinking of a career change, although she’s been ‘distracted’ by her dishy colleague, James. They’ve been seeing e...
The Hammer studio is best known for its horror film output from the mid-1950s through the 1970s. This book provides facts about the hundreds of actresses who appeared in those films, including ones released in the twenty-first century by a resurgent Hammer. Each woman's entry includes her Hammer filmography, a brief biography if available, and other film credits in the horror genre. The book is illustrated with more than 60 film stills and posters.
Ascorbic acid (AsA), vitamin C, is one of the most abundant water-soluble antioxidant in plants and animals. In plants AsA serves as a major redox buffer and regulates various physiological processes controlling growth, development, and stress tolerance. Recent studies on AsA homeostasis have broadened our understanding of these physiological events. At the mechanistic level, AsA has been shown to participate in numerous metabolic and cell signaling processes, and the dynamic relationship between AsA and reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been well documented. Being a major component of the ascorbate-glutathione (AsA-GSH) cycle, AsA helps to modulate oxidative stress in plants by controlling ...
Seit den 90igern entwickeln sich nun die digitalen Medien und die Telekommunikation rapide und unsere Industriegesellschaft wurde zu einer Informations- und Kommunikationsgesellschaft. Durch Sozialen Medien, wie Facebook, Twitter oder YouTube, wurde das World Wide Web zu einer Austauschplattform. Meinungen, Erfahrungen oder Bewertungen werden von Millionen von Menschen wahrgenommen und in Echtzeit weiterkommuniziert. Unternehmen verlieren zunehmend ihr Informationsmonopol und Datenschutzbedenken, sowie Kontrollverlustängste, sind ein wichtiges Thema. Auf der anderen Seite können Unternehmen durch soziale Medien ihre Nutzer mehr integrieren. Daraus resultieren Vorteile wie Ideenfindung, Pro...
When FINAL BLACKOUT was written there was still a Maginot Line, Dunkirk was just another French coastal town and the Battle of Britain, the Bulge, Saipan, Iwo, V2s and Nagasaki were things unknown and far ahead in history. While it concerns these things, its action will not take place for many years yet to come and it is, therefore, still a story of the future though some of the "future" it embraced (about one fifth) has already transpired. When published in magazine form before the war it created a little skirmish of its own and, I am told, as time has gone by and some of it has unreeled, interest in it has if anything increased. So far its career has been most adventurous as a story. The "...
In diesem Buch werden die Grundlagen des Opinion Minings dargestellt sowie mögliche Ansätze, Methoden und Algorithmen aus den Bereichen Text Mining, linguistische Algorithmen, semantische Technologien und Information Retrieval aufgezeigt. Beim Opinion Mining geht es darum, textuell vorliegende Meinungen von Menschen zu analysieren und ihre Einstellung zu Produkten, Marken, Organisationen, Personen oder ganz allgemein zu Themen auszuwerten.
Die Ausrichtung von Unternehmen auf den Shareholder-Value wird von Informationsineffizienzen in der Preisbildung am Markt und von Informationsasymmetrien zwischen dem Management eines Unternehmens und der Financial Community begleitet. Michael Ruf entwirft ein Finanzinformations- und Kommunikationsmodell, um den Informationsfluss an den Kapitalmarkt zu systematisieren und eine strategische und operative Steuerung der Investor Relations von Unternehmen zu ermöglichen. Die Architektur des entwickelten Modells gibt einen grundsätzlichen Rahmen für die Strukturierung der Kapitalmarktkommunikation vor und das Implementierungsvorgehen beschreibt die Umsetzung in der Praxis. Insgesamt dient das Modell einer Professionalisierung der Investor Relations sowie einer Verbesserung der Informationsbasis von Investoren und Multiplikatoren.
