The Long Term Effects of Oil Pollution on Marine Populations, Communities and Ecosystems
by Royal Society
Published 11 August 1983
Interest in liquid crystals has grown apace in the last ten years, as their applications in flat panel displays have brought them into the public eye. This book sets out the state of the art in a clear authoritative fashion. It will assist the reader in understanding current achievements and in evaluating future potential.
This volume surveys the role of metal clusters in the development of theories of bonding and reactivity, of synthetic strategy, in applications in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, in their widespread occurrence in biological systems, and as model systems for metal surface chemistry.
This volume surveys the mechanisms whereby bacteria and viruses produce disease in man and animals and aims to identify as far as possible the biochemical determinants concerned. It will appeal to researchers in a wide variety of disciplines such as bacteriology, virology, immunology, pathology, biochemistry and genetics, and also clinicians dealing with infectious disease in human and veterinary medicine.
This volume provides a thorough examination of the structure and biosynthesis of the oligosaccharides of glycoproteins that are formed at the membranes of eukaryotic cells. The detailed knowledge of these biological and synthetic processes and the increasing awareness of the importance of glycoproteins in many biological systems as presented here provide an important summary of the information currently available.
