Providing a comprehensive insight into cellular signaling processes in bacteria, this is the first book to cover intercellular, transmembrane, as well as intra-cellular signaling and its relevance for biofilm formation, differentiation, host pathogen interactions, symbiotic relationships, chemotaxis and various stress responses. In addition, the book deals in detail with principal bacterial signaling mechanisms a?? making this a valuable resource for all advanced students in microbiology. Reinhard KrA¤mer is an expert in intracellular signaling and its implications for biotechnology processes, while Kirsten Jung is an expert in intercellular communication and transmembrane signaling.

Bio-Architecture studies the natural principles of animal and human constructions from several different perspectives, and presents a great part of the knowledge that gives origin and shape to built form. Organic architecture offers a design approach arising from natural principles, bringing us back to local history, tradition, and cultural roots to give us built forms which are in harmony with nature. It also shows how architects can take advantage of the resources that contemporary technology has placed within our grasp.

Known for its thorough coverage of diversity, ecology, and environmental issues, this comprehensive book engages readers with integrated, relevant case studies and challenges them with thought-provoking questions throughout each chapter. The fully revised Biology: Life on Earth, Ninth Edition, has the same friendly writing style appreciated by thousands of readers, but with greater emphasis on engaging, real-world applications. New to this edition are “Case Study Continued”sections, which connect a chapter’s case study to relevant biological topics covered in the chapter, and “Have you ever wondered?” features that respond to commonly asked questions from students. Thoroughly revised illustrations and expanded critical thinking questions have been added to each chapter and are supplemented by the powerful new MasteringBiology® program that helps students make effective use of their study time outside of the classroom. For coverage of plant and animal anatomy &...

Praise for the First Edition: "Very valuable." —Journal of the American Aging Association "Remarkably comprehensive yet concise and contains something for everyone . . . a wide range of ?Cell Biologists? will find this book valuable." —Cell Biology International "A broadly conceived and lively account of mitochondrial biology and biochemistry . . . [written] with such clarity and spark, and in such an organized and complete manner." —Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education This book is the eagerly awaited Second Edition of the bestselling book widely acknowledged as the first modern, truly comprehensive work on mitochondria. Mitochondria, Second Edition brings readers up to date on the many significant findings that have occurred since the book was first published nearly a decade ago. As in that seminal first edition, this Second Edition tackles the biochemistry, genetics, and pathology of mitochondria in different organisms. The growth of the...

Book DescriptionCooperative behavior has been one of the enigmas of evolutionary theory since the days of Charles Darwin. The contributions to this book examine the many facets of cooperative behavior in primates and humans as some of the world’s leading experts review and summarize the state of the art of theoretical and empirical studies of cooperation. This book is thus the first to bridge the gap between parallel research in primatology and studies of humans. Comparative as this approach is, ithighlights both common principles and aspects of human uniqueness with respect to cooperative behavior.

Proteins: Biochemistry and Biotechnology is a definitive source of information for all those interested in this area, providing a broad overview of the various medical, diagnostic and industrial uses of proteins. The text, which has evolved from an earlier book ? Protein Biotechnology ?, provides the reader with the latest developments in the field and offers a varied selection of relevant case study material. Initial chapters focus upon issues such as protein structure, folding, stability, purification and characterization. Later chapters detail the industrial production of proteins, and their applications in medicine, analysis and industry. This book will be invaluable to undergraduates pursuing degrees in biotechnology, biochemistry, microbiology or molecular biology. It will also be directly relevant to those studying medicine, pharmaceutical science or related topics in the biomedical sciences. Also ideal as a reference source for commercial managers and...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Rufous Bush Robin (Cercotrichas galactotes), also called the Rufous-tailed Scrub Robin or Rufous Bush Chat, is a small member of the flycatchers. It breeds around the Mediterranean and east to Pakistan. It also breeds south of the Sahara from the Sahel region east to Somalia; these birds are sometimes considered to be a separate species, African Scrub Robin (C. minor). It is partially migratory, wintering in east Africa and India. This is a very rare visitor to northern Europe. This is a bird of dry open country with bushes and shrubs. It builds its nest in a bush; three to five eggs is a typical clutch. The Rufous Bush Robin is larger than the European Robin. It has brown upper parts, whitish under parts, and a prominent whitish eye-stripe. The western race has a paler, warmer brown back than birds in southeast Europe and Asia.

Rodentia is an order of mammals also known as rodents, characterised by two continuously growing incisors in the upper and lower jaws which must be kept short by gnawing. Forty percent of mammal species are rodents, and they are found in vast numbers on all continents other than Antarctica. Common rodents include mice, rats, squirrels, chipmunks, gophers, porcupines, beavers, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, degus, chinchillas, prairie dogs, and groundhogs. Rodents have sharp incisors that they use to gnaw wood, break into food, and bite predators. Most eat seeds or plants, though some have more varied diets. Some species have historically been pests, eating seeds stored by people and spreading disease.
