Overview: It is now more than half a century since animal cells first came into regular use in the laboratory. Instances of laboratory acquired infection and con­ tamination of therapeutic products, derived from the use of animal cell cultures are rare. The use of animal cells, in addition to an established role in the production of vaccines and therapeutic proteins, has many new medical applications including gene therapy, tissue engineering and cell therapy. Furthermore, C;ldvances in molecular and cell biology are enabling rapid development and application of these technologies and the deve

Overview: The papers presented in this special collection focus upon conceptual, the­ oretical and epistemological aspects of sociobiology, an emerging discipline that deals with the extent to which genetic factors influence or control patterns of behavior as well as the extent to which patterns of behavior, in turn, influence or control genetic evolution. The Prologue advances a compre­ hensive acco/unt of the field of gene-culture co-evolution, where Lumsden and Gushurst differentiate between "classical" sociobiology (represented especially by Wilson‘s early work) and current research on hum

Taking its cue from Michael Porter’s highly-regarded business strategies, it offers a sound framework for hospitals looking to develop efficient, patient-centered service delivery, identifying keys to clinical, administrative, and mark

Overview: Since 1965 the Nobel Foundation sponsors, through grants from the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Fund, Sym­ posia on subjects which are considered to be of central scientific importance and for which new results of a special interest have been reached. The aim of these Symposia is to bring together, by personal invitation, a limited number of leading scientists from various countries to discuss the current research situation within the field and to define the most urgent problems to be solved. One of the most important fields in modern biome­ dical research concerns the structure and fu

Overview: Provides in-depth knowledge on mechanisms of OMICs techniques for crop improvement programs.Discusses how to integrate OMICs and novel genome editing technologies for sustainable crop production.Expla.Access to food with enough calories and nutrients is a fundamental right of every human. The global population has exceeded 7.8 billion and is expected to pass 10 billion by 2055. Such rapid population increase presents a great challenge for food supply. More grain production is needed to provide basic calories for humans. Thus, it is crucial to produce 60-110% more food to fill the gap

Overview: Sozialwissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: Georg Lorenz sucht nach den Ursachen bildungsbezogener Ungleichheiten. Er zeigt, dass Erwartungen von Lehrkräften für die zukünftigen Leistungen von Schülerinnen und Schülern mit Zuwanderungshintergrund teilweise negativ verzerrt sind und dass diese Verzerrungen aus der Anwendung von Stereotypen bei Lehrkräften resultieren. Verzerrte Lehrererwartungen münden in selbsterfüllenden Prophezeiungen. So sind Unterschätzungen der Leistungen von Schülerinnen und Schülern mit geringeren Leselernzuwächsen verbunden. Gleichzeitig g
