This book contains material contributed by forward-looking scientists who work at the interface of stem cell research and applied science with the aim to improve human fetal safety and the understanding of human developmental and degenerative disorders. Provides important platforms and contemporary accounts of the state of stem cell research in the fields of toxicology and teratology Considers bot…
В этой книге разработаны все законы тактики шахматной игры, основные из которых следующие: - сила тактического удара по цели прямо пропорциональна её массе и обратно пропорциональна времени до нее в оперативно - линейных темпах; - сила тактической обороны пропорциональна времени до нее нападающей фигуры в оперативно - ходовых темпах; - сила блокирующего удара по цели прямо пропорциональна её м…
Stratigraphers and sedimentologists who are presently describing and interpreting the infill of sedimentary basins are generally agreed that it is difficult to disentangle the signatures of tectonic processes from those of climate and eustatic sea level change in the resultant rock succession. Until better criteria are developed to distinguish between the roles played by the major variables, it is…
Почему одни имеют в жизни всё, а другие ничего? Потому что первые берут на себя заботу о вторых — это очевидно. Однако в истории были люди овладевавшие почти всем миром. Чем эти люди отличались от обычных людей? Правильный ответ — особенностями мышления. Именно это — особенности мышления великих людей известных всему миру и разбирает этот рассказ. Однако этот разбор идет не так как обычно знания п…
Gap junctions are key elements in communication between cells in multicellular organisms. It is clear that their activity is essential for normal embryonic development and normal function in adult organs, although the individual roles of the proteins that form the channels (connexins) are not yet fully understood. The last few years have seen considerable progress in this field and exciting new is…
Бет Шапиро – известный специалист по проблемам древней ДНК, занимающаяся исследованиями ДНК мамонтов, додо и других навсегда потерянных для нас животных. В этой книге она увлекательно рассказывает о влиянии человека на эволюцию других видов. Спор о том, стоит ли ученым вмешиваться в ход жизни на Земле, скрещивая различные виды ради получения более вкусной и долго хранящейся еды и красивых и охотно…
The heat shock, or cell stress, response was first identified in the polytene chromosomes of Drosophila. This was later related to the appearance of novel proteins within stressed cells, and the key signal stimulating this appearance was identified as the presence of unfolded proteins within the cell. It is now known that this is a key mechanism enabling cells to survive a multitude of physical, c…

In light of the increasing importance of these proteins and their ligands for our understanding of cellular growth, differentiation, and development, as well as of diseases such as obesity, insulin resistance, atherosclerosis, cancer, and inflammation, a team of internationally renowned editors and authors have compiled here the very first comprehensive book on these topics. They describe fatty ac…
The Almería Province of SE Spain, a semi-arid, tectonically active region, is the focus of a wide range of scientific teaching and research in the earth sciences by universities and associated bodies from around the world. This field guide provides an up-to-date and integrated approach to the geology and geomorphology of Almería Province, compiled by active scientific researchers in the region. Th…
This Handbook is an essential reference and a guide to the rapidly expanding field of Geographic Information Science. Designed for students and researchers who want an in-depth treatment of the subject, including background information Comprises around 40 substantial essays, each written by a recognized expert in a particular area Covers the full spectrum of research in GIS Surveys the increasing …
Quartz is the major porosity-reducing cement in many sandstone sequences. Therefore, Quartz cements represent a key source of petrographic and geochemical information about diagenetic history. They are also the major determinant of sandstone reservoir quality. While the ultimate goal of research in this area is to make robust predictions about the amount and distribution of quartz cements in a wid…
This volume presents a unique compendium of papers assessing the effects of volcanism on lakes, as recorded by the volcaniclastic sediments deposited within them. The unifying theme is that the effects of volcanism on lacustrine sedimentation are diverse and distinctive, and that volcaniclastic lacustrine sediments hold the key to understanding a range of processes and events that cannot be readil…
Эта книга – первое в отечественной историографии комплексное исследование феноменологии нацистских концентрационных лагерей (Концентрационного мира), как особой системы, глобально трансформировавшей всё, что оказывалось в орбите её влияния – от времени, истории и пространства до человеческой антропологии и психологии. Обнажение и одежда, пища и голод, насилие и боль, язык и молчание, страх и смерт…
This volume arises from the conference Sediment Transport and Deposition by Particulate Gravity Currents held in the UK in 1998. The field of particulate gravity currents ranges from turbidity currents in the oceans, lakes and reservoirs to pyroclastic density currents and avalanches, debris flows and lahars, grainflows, powder snow avalanches, effluent dispersal and ancient gravity current deposi…
