Overview: THIS BOOK HAS BEEN WRITTEN BECAUSE WE FEEL THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR AN up-to-date compact book on cell organelles that transmits the excitement and challenge of modern subcellular biology. We hope that the book will be interesting and useful to students of the biological sciences and medicine, and to those in the teaching professions who do not have ready access to research papers. Since space is at a premium, we have denied ourselves the luxury of a philosophical discussion of the problems of defining organelles. Rather we have chosen to include all those intracellular structures wh

Overview: Nicos Mouzelis argues against a marked tendency in present- day sociology to conflate philosophy and sociological theory. In trying to demonstrate the relative autonomy and specific logic of sociological theorising, he draws from a variety of theoretical traditions in order to construct a set of interrelated concepts useful for bridging the gulf between macro and micro sociologies. Drawing examples from the sociology of development and from the theory of organisations, the author shows concretely how the conceptual framework proposed can help the researcher to avoid both the reificat

Overview: Offers the first and original study on banking crises management in Italy.Provides a comprehensive overview of the resolution tools used.Covers all banking crises in Italy from 2014 to 2020This book offers the first original study on banking crises management in Italy from 2014 to 2020 with a comprehensive overview of the resolution tools used. In Italy, the issue of banking crises is now the focus of attention, not only as a result of the cycle of crises that occurred in the years 2014-2020 but also because of the banking reform carried out in Europe with the directives on bank reco

Overview: The pUrpOSE! of this conference was not to define the two areas that are being bound, which might be a well nigh impossible proposition. Rather, its focus was to concentrate on the mechanistic similarities between promotion and progression. Are the areas involved within the boundaries a continuum? Are these two simultaneous processes? Or are some of the affected cells in the stage of promotion when at the same time others have undergone irreversi­ ble changes tha. t position them in the stage of progression? Or are these two stages the same thing, but called by different names? To ex

Overview: Noch immer sind die Chancen, Macht und Einfluß auf politische Entscheidungen zu nehmen, zwischen den Geschlechtern ungleich verteilt. Auch in der Kommunalpolitik sind Frauen nicht ihrem Anteil an der Gesamtbevölkerung entsprechend vertreten. In Heidelberg hat deshalb die Oberbürgermeisterin Beate Weber durch die Schaffung von "Zukunftswerkstätten" versucht, Frauen ein Forum zu bieten, um ihre Belange stärker in den kommunalpolitischen Entscheidungsprozess einzuspeisen. Katharina Katt untersucht in ihrer fundierten empirischen Untersuchung die Bedingungen, unter denen sich Frauen entw

Overview: Cuts across apiology, the history of science, and ecocriticism.Foregrounds legal status of honeybees, presence of bees to democratic movements, print media, and canonical Literature.Contributes to theThe long nineteenth century (1789-1914) has been described as an axial age in the history of both bees and literature. It was the period in which the ecological and agronomic values that are still attributed to bees by modern industrial society were first established, and it was the period in which one bee species (the European honeybee) completed its dispersal to every habitable contine

Overview: Southern Africa is certainly not a naturally bounded area so that there are several possibilities for delineating it and concepts about its extent. Wellington* discussed the various possibilities for delineation and suggested that one line stands out more clearly and definitely as a physical boundary than any other, namely the South Equatorial Divide, the watershed between the ZaIre, Cuanza and Rufiji Rivers on the one hand and the Z ambezi, Cunene and Rovuma Rivers on the other. This South Equatorial Divide is indeed a major line of separation for some organisms and is also applicab

Overview: Gives a modern approach to the various facets of plant growth promoting and associative bacteria.A valuable source of information for scientists in agriculture, agronomy, microbiology, botany, environ.The future of agriculture greatly depends on our ability to enhance productivity without sacrificing long-term production potential. The application of microorganisms, such as the diverse bacterial species of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB), represents an ecologically and economically sustainable strategy. The use of these bio-resources for the enhancement of crop productivity is

Overview: to the Second Edition RESEARCH INTO MEMBRANE-ASSOCIATED PHENOMENA HAS EXPANDED VERY greatly in the five years that have elapsed since the first edition of Biological Membranes was published. It is to take account of rapid advances in the field that we have written the present edition. There is now general acceptance of the fluid mosaic model of membrane structure and of the chemiosmotic interpretation of energetic processes, and our attention has shifted from justifying these ideas to explaining membrane functions in their terms. Much more information has become available concerning

Overview: Lipidomic analysis of key metabolic processes.Novel lipid- based therapeutic proposal for neurodegenerative diseases.12 chapters and almost 50 color figures and tables.The purpose of this book is to introduce the readers on the perspective of the role that unsaturated fatty acids and complex lipids play on health and disease. Bioactive lipids can be modified affecting membrane composition, structure and fluidity in addition to changes in cell signaling associated to lipid-protein (membrane receptors) interactions, issues that are addressed by the authors.

Overview: Applies critical thinking to bridge divisions in thinking across sciences.Addresses the association between thinking, brain function, and health.Traces decision-making styles and outcomes in integrate.Brain, Decision Making, and Mental Health acknowledges that thinking is not a constant phenomenon but varies considerably across cultures. Critical thinking is particularly important in bridging thinking divisions and its applicability across sciences, particularly medical sciences. We see critical thinking as educable and the arts as means to achieve this purpose. We address the multid

Overview: The integument plays an important role in the survival of meta­ zoans by separating and protecting them from a hostile environ­ ment. Its function ranges from protection against injury and in­ fection; partlcipation in the regulation of body temperature and water balance, to respiratory activity, monitoring of the environ­ ment and production of signals related to behaviour. All these result from specific structural, biochemical and physiological properties of intra-and extracellular components of the integu­ ment. Thus its characterization can be best accomplished by a multidiscipli
