Transmission Electron Microscopy (Springer Series in Optical Sciences, #36) (Series in Optical Sciences, v. 36)
by Ludwig Reimer
The aim of this book is to present the theory of image and contrast formation and the analytical modes in transmission electron microscopy. The principles of particle and wave optics of electrons are described. Electron-specimen interactions are discussed for evaluating the theory of scattering and phase contrast. Also discussed are the kinematical and dynamical theories of electron diffraction and their applications for crystal structure determination and imaging of lattice defects. X-ray micro...
Insect-Plant Interactions in a Crop Protection Perspective (Advances in Botanical Research)
Insect-Plant Interactions, the latest edition in the Advances in Botanical Research series, which publishes in-depth and up-to-date reviews on a wide range of topics in the plant sciences, features several reviews by recognized experts on all aspects of plant genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, physiology, and ecology.
Autonomic Nervous System Part 2, Dysfunctions (Handbook of Clinical Neurology)
Autonomic nervous system dysfunction and pathology are dealt with in this volume. The profound autonomic accompaniments of acute and chronic pain are given extensive coverage. Physical exertion, the demands it places on autonomic control, and resulting thermoregulatory failure, as well as sexual dysfunction, are conjoined in this volume. Common diseases such as hypertension, heart disease, neoplasia, the epilepsies, and cerebrovascular disease perturb homeostasis and thus activate compensatory a...
Adhesion of Microbial Pathogens (Methods in Enzymology)
The critically acclaimed laboratory standard for forty years, Methods in Enzymology is one of the most highly respected publications in the field of biochemistry. Since 1955, each volume has been eagerlyawaited, frequently consulted, and praised by researchers and reviewers alike. More than 250 volumes have been published (all of them still in print) and much of the material is relevant even today--truly an essential publication for researchers in all fields of life sciences.
Technical Aspects of Toxicological Immunohistochemistry
This authoritative volume examines immunohistochemical methods aimed at investigating the toxicologic pathology of rodent, non-human primate and aquatic animal tissues. Eleven comprehensive chapters provide pathologists and researchers in various sub-disciplines of toxicology with a comprehensive review of the methods and approaches for immunohistochemical staining in various target tissues. It explores the tissue-antigen and antibody-specific problems that may be encountered during the staining...
The Basal Ganglia VIII (Advances in Behavioral Biology, #56)
The aim of the International Meetings of the Basal Ganglia Society (IBAGS) is to provide a unique environment for the open presentation and discussion of new and challenging information about the basal ganglia as it relates to health and disease, covering all areas of basic science and research. Specific topics of the proceedings of this Eighth International Triennial Meeting of the Basal Ganglia Society include behavior, circuitry, functional imaging, modelling, movement disorders, neuropatholo...
Introduction to the Work of a Medical Examiner: From Death Scene to Autopsy Suite
by John J. Miletich and Tia Laura Lindstrom
1. 1 Platelets in Hemostasis and Thrombosis: A Brief Overview For more than 100 years the dominant role of blood platelets in hemostasis and thrombosis has been well documented. Seven years before their identification as a distinct class of blood corpuscles by Bizzozero (1882), Zahn (1875), using intravital microscopic observations, described the growth of an arterial thrombus as the result of "continued apposition of colorless blood corpuscles along the direction of blood flow. " A hallmark sti...
Biosafety in Industrial Biotechnology
As an industry, biotechnology may be likened to the Hymn Book, being both ancient and modern. Whereas activities such as baking, brewing, the fermenting of foods date from our earliest attempts to control and utilise the environment, the application of recombinant DNA technology is recognised as being at the forefront of novel industrial development. Perhaps because of its association with processing foodstuffs together with the benefits derived from applications in the early organic chemistry a...
Over the last decade, high performance Capillary electrophoresis (HPCE) has emerged as a powerful and versatile separation technique that promises to rival high performance liquid chromatography when applied to the separation of both charged and neutral species. The high speed and high separation efficiency which can be attained using any of the various modes of HPCE has resulted in the increased use of the technique in a range of analytical environments. The procedures are, however, stil...
Spectroscopy of Biological Molecules: Modern Trends
The 1997 European Conference on Spectroscopy of Biological Molecules (ECSBM) is the seventh in a biennial series of conferences devoted to the applications of molecular spectroscopy to biological molecules and related systems. The interest of these conferences rests mainly on the relationship between the structure and physiological activity of biological molecules and related systems of which these molecular species form part. This volume ofECSBM contains articles prepared by the invited lecture...
Field Manual of Techniques in Invertebrate Pathology
This field manual is designed to provide background and instruction on a broad spectrum of techniques and their use in the evaluation of entomopathogens in the field. The second edition provides updated information and includes two additional chapters and 12 new contributors. The intended audience includes researchers, graduate students, practitioners of integrated pest management (IPM), regulators and those conducting environmental impact studies of entomopathogens.
Steroid Analysis
The second edition of this book has drawn heavily on the first edition but a huge amount of research on steroid analysis has been published over the last 15 years. As a result, the Editors decided to let the first edition of this book stand on its own and direct readers interested in pre-1995 steroid analysis to it, simply because the post-1995 research can on its own fill the second edition. We have tried to keep a balance but equally have allowed authors of each chapter a significant degree of...

Intramembrane-Cleaving Proteases (I-CLiPs) (Proteases in Biology and Disease, #6)
In recent years a growing number of proteases have been identified that catalyse peptide bond hydrolysis in the plane of the cellular membrane. These so-called ‘intramembrane-cleaving proteases’ (I-CLiPs) are involved in a diverse range of cellular processes, including cell regulation, signalling, quorum sensing, protein processing, lipid metabolism and the unfolded protein response. Some I-CLiPs play critical roles in diseases such as Alzheimer’s and viral infection. The authors, who are all wo...
