Recent Developments in Plant Biotechnology
This volume explores advances in plant biotechnology, focusing on the use of lipids and proteins from plant tissues in industrial applications. The book discusses an emerging field of research and will appeal to readers in medical, biochemical, and biotechnological disciplines.
This book provides a new, interdisciplinary model of consciousness, offering a multidisciplinary bridge between the brain, mind, philosophy, self-consciousness, human identity, and free will.
The world is an internal model. This theory of mental evolution explains mathematics, the origin of time, and consciousness itself. It also explains the meaning of Paleolithic artifacts, the origin of language, and identifies strict limits of scientific knowledge.
In 1830, John Williams wrote this pioneering study of the plants, animals, and agriculture of Llanrwst, north Wales. This new edition is reproduced verbatim but augmented by a biography of the author, a gazetteer of localities, and eight full-page colour plates.
This book, by the world’s best experts, covers the emerging field of membrane atg8ylation. Atg8ylation is to membranes what ubiquitylation is to proteins: a homeostatic process that guards and remodels them. Its downstream functions in health and disease remain to be defined.
Explore aluminum nanocomposites produced by powder metallurgy for bulk and electron beam treatment for surfaces. This book covers nanoparticle roles in strengthening and microstructure, and includes structure formation simulations using MAGMASOFT®.
This book details nonlinear impulse processes in semiconductors. Discover the synchro-photon effect: when a semiconductor element is switched on by an electric pulse and synchronously illuminated by photons, its switching speed increases by an order of magnitude.
Journey into the fascinating world of nanoparticles, microscopic wonders making giant strides in medicine, electronics, and environmental science. This book delves into how these tiny yet powerful particles behave differently, unlocking a future of endless possibilities.
Technomimetics versus Biomimetics
Nature inspires us to achieve maximum results with minimum resources. This book investigates the advantages, challenges and limitations of using data science and artificial intelligence to mimic nature in techno-biomimetic systems, from robots to nanotechnology.
This book is a gateway to the future of agriculture, exploring the intersection of genetics and innovation. It covers molecular plant breeding from genetic markers and mapping to advanced topics like genomics, bioinformatics, gene transfer, and intellectual property rights.
This volume on interdisciplinary life sciences is for researchers across various scientific fields and anyone interested in the topic. It integrates disciplines to solve complex problems and is lavishly illustrated with flow charts, diagrams, and tables for easy learning.
This book provides fascinating insights into actinomycetes and their synthesis of bioactive molecules like enzymes and nanoparticles. Microorganisms are a huge reservoir of resources for innovative applications and should be explored for antibiotics, enzymes, and nanoparticles.
Pharmaco-Biotechnology and Nanotechnology
This volume on pharmaceutical biotechnology covers nano-biotechnology for cancer detection, biosensors, pharmacogenetics, and nutrigenetics. It deciphers the interplay between diet, drugs, and genetics for improving human health. For students, researchers, and professionals.
The biological role of heterochromatin, our non-coding DNA, is a mystery. This study of Q-heterochromatin variability in humans reveals that differences are related to environmental factors, not race, and that our ability to adapt to extreme conditions depends on its amount.
Long Non-Coding RNA
Once dismissed as genomic “noise,” Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are now known to regulate genes and are involved in diverse diseases like cancer. As their mechanisms are still ambiguous, this book provides a comprehensive account of lncRNA research.
Glow Discharge Polymerization
This book describes the local mechanisms of polymer synthesis in the main zones of glow discharge. These zonal mechanisms are so different that polymerization rates can differ by hundreds of times, creating polymer films with unique structures and signs of radiation damage.
Jawless Fishes of the World
The first book to focus exclusively on various aspects of jawless fish species throughout the world, this volume provides an overview of a variety of related topics, including their taxonomy, zoogeography, phylogeny, molecular biology, evolution, and role in the ecosystem.
Nanotechnology Applications in Medicinal Plants and their Bionanocomposites
This first-of-its-kind book focuses on advances in nanomaterials and bionanocomposites for applications in medicinal plants and Ayurveda. Based on interdisciplinary research from experts, it provides knowledge for developing a sustainable form of Ayurveda.
The Mekong Delta’s economically significant fish species are threatened by fragmented research, hindering conservation. This monograph offers a solution: the culmination of a decade of research providing a holistic understanding of their genetics, ecology, and survival.
Aimed at students, this clear and concise practical handbook is prepared in accordance with the latest syllabi. It explores the instruments and glassware handled during experiments and the calculations required to prepare chemical reagents and media.
