Plant and Microbe Adaptations to Cold in a Changing World: Proceedings from Plant and Microbe Adaptations to Cold 2012 By Timothy Murray, Denis Gaudet (auth.), Ryozo Imai, Midori Yoshida, Naoyuki Matsumoto (eds.)
2013 | 352 Pages | ISBN: 1461482526 | PDF | 11 MB
​This book includes papers from keynote lecture and oral presentations of Plant and Microbe Adaptations to Cold (PMAC) 2012, an international conference on winter hardiness of crop and pathogenic microbes. The PMAC has been started in 1997 in Japan as an interdisciplinary forum for scientists and extension people working in the field in plant pathology, plant physiology, microbiology, and crop breeding to increase our knowledge and improve our understanding of overwintering of crops, forages and grasses and solve the problems associated with losses due to freezing and heavy snow cover. Successive meetings have been held in Iceland (2000), Canada (2003), Italy (2006), and Norway (2009). PMAC2012 will be a special meeting with a focus on global climate change, food security and agriculture sustainability and the whole program will be arranged to reflect this theme. The topics covered by this proceedings includes, global warming in agricultural environment, plant adaptations to cold, microbial adaptations to cold, plant-microbe interaction under cold, and molecular breeding for winter hardiness. The researches range from molecular biology to ecology and breeding. Experts in the field will report cutting edge research and thoughtful strategies for sustainability.​

Kapuganti Jagadis Gupta, "Plant Nitric Oxide: Methods and Protocols"
English | 2016 | pages: 217 | ISBN: 1493935984 | PDF | 7,0 mb
With numerous methods available for the quantification of nitric oxide (NO), this detailed book explores their advantages and disadvantages in order to provide a foundation for further research in plant nitric oxide. After providing a useful practical guide to choosing a technique for measuring NO from plant materials, the book continues with chapters on chemiluminescence, diaminofluorescence (DAF), EPR spectroscopy, a laser-based method, as well as many other topics. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory methods, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Plagues and Pandemics: Black Death, Coronaviruses and Other Killer Diseases Throughout History
English | 2022 | ISBN: 1399005189 | 233 Pages | PDF (True) | 14 MB
All you need for a plague to go pandemic are population clusters and travelers spreading the bacterial or viral pathogens. Many prehistoric civilizations died fast, leaving cities undamaged to mystify archeologists. Plague in Athens killed 30% of the population 430-426 BCE. When Roman Emperor Justinian I caught bubonic plague in 541 CE, contemporary historian Procopius described his symptoms: fever, delirium and buboes - large black swellings of the lymphatic glands in the groin, under the arms and behind the ears. That bubonic plague killed 25 million people around the Mediterranean. Later dubbed Black Death, it killed 50 million people 1346-1353, returning to London 40 times in the next 300 years. The third bubonic plague pandemic started 1894 in China, claiming 15 million lives, largely in Asia, before dying down in the 1950s after visiting San Francisco and New York. But it also hit Madagascar in 2014, and the Congo and Peru. The cause, yersinia pestis was identified in 1894. Infected fleas from rats on merchant ships were blamed for spreading it, but Porton Down scientists have a worrying explanation why the plague spread so fast.

Placentation in Mammals: Tribute to E.C. Amoroso's Lifetime Contributions to Viviparity by Rodney D. Geisert
English | PDF,EPUB | 2021 | 261 Pages | ISBN : 3030773590 | 138.1 MB
The present volume of the book series Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology brings together current reviews from leading experts to address the diversity of placentation by which species establish and maintain pregnancy. Development of viviparity and placentation in rodents, dogs, pigs, cattle, horses, marsupials, primates and elephants are discussed.

Physiological effect of electric current: The possible consequences of an electric shock on the body by EMMA WILLIAM
English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0B4SPBYTK | 150 pages | EPUB | 2.89 Mb
An electric shock occurs when a person comes into contact with a source of electrical energy. Electrical energy flows through a part of the body, causing a shock. Exposure to electrical energy may result in no injury at all or may result in fatal damage or death. Adolescents and adults are vulnerable to high voltage shocks from harmful exploration and exposure at work. About 1,000 people die in the United States each year as a result of electrocution. Most of these deaths are related to injuries on the job.

Keith Ansell-Pearson, "Philosophy and the Adventure of the Virtual: Bergson and the Time of Life"
English | 2001 | ISBN: 0415237289 | EPUB | pages: 256 | 0.3 mb
With the development of new technologies and the Internet, the notion of the virtual has grown increasingly important. In this lucid collection of essays, Pearson bridges the continental-analytic divide in philosophy, bringing the virtual to centre stage and arguing its importance for re-thinking such central philosophical questions as time and life. Drawing on philosophers from Bergson, Kant and Nietzsche to Proust, Russell, Dennett and Badiou, Pearson examines the limits of continuity, explores relativity, and offers a concept of creative evolution.
