Mulberry: Genetic Improvement in Context of Climate Change
English | 2021 | ISBN: 0367024993 | 263 Pages | PDF (True) | 16 MB
Mulberry (Morus spp.) is an important horticultural plant in the sericulture industry. It belongs to the family Moraceae. The leaf of mulberry is used to feed the silkworm Bombyx mori L. It is also used as a fodder. Due to its economic and agricultural importance, mulberry is cultivated in many parts of the world. An estimated 60% of the total cost of silk cocoon production is for production and maintenance of mulberry plants. Therefore, much attention is needed to improve the quality and quantity of mulberry leaves. It is vital to increase the production of superior quality mulberry leaves with high nutritive value for the sericulture industry.

Monoclonal Antibody Protocols By Jon A. Rudbach, John L. Cantrell, J. T. Ulrich (auth.), William C. Davis (eds.)
1995 | 264 Pages | ISBN: 0896033082 | PDF | 6 MB
Since the initial description of techniques to immortalize anti body-producing B-lymphocytes by fusion with tissue culture-adapted myeloma cells, methods have been developed to produce monoclonal antibodies of defined specificity in multiple animal species. Stable hybrids can be readily produced in mice using a number of myeloma and hybridoma cell lines. To obviate the problem of identifying fusion partners in other animal species, xenohybrids have been produced using B-lymphocytes from the relevant species and mouse myeloma cells. The use of xenohybrids has minimized the problem of obtain ing stable antibody-producing hybrids in all species examined thus far. Although alternative techniques are being developed to produce monoclonal antibodies by molecular methods, hybridoma technol ogy will remain the technology of choice for producing monoclonal antibodies for a variety of applications in research and industry. The objective of Monoclonal Antibody Protocols is to provide investigators with a set of methods for producing and using mono clonal antibodies in biomedical, agricultural, and biological sciences. The book is not intended to provide methodology for all possible applications, but rather a series of methods presented in an easy-- follow format that can be used by new and established investiga tors, graduate and postgraduate fellows, and technical staff.

Taihao Quan, "Molecular Mechanisms of Skin Aging and Age-Related Diseases"
English | 2016 | pages: 263 | ISBN: 1498704646, 0367783002 | PDF | 17,6 mb
Our skin changes as we age. It becomes thinner and loses fat, making it less plump and smooth. Clinically, aged skin is characterized by wrinkles, sagging, age spots and dryness. Emphasizing laboratory and clinical research, this book comprehensively describes the molecular mechanisms of human skin-aging and age-related skin diseases. This includes molecular understanding of the development of aging skin and its prevention as well as mechanisms-based clinical rejuvenation. The book also focuses on research to develop mechanisms-based anti-skin-aging products.

In Molecular Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases leading international authorities provide a comprehensive and up-to-date set of basic and advanced methods that illuminate the principles of molecular diagnostics and allow researchers to establish assay systems tailored to their specific needs. This unique collection of protocols covers the latest strategies for identifying novel diagnostic markers, epitope mapping, and the production and purification of recombinant antigens, as well as their use as diagnostic reagents in immunological assays. It also includes promising techniques based on recent developments in antibody engineering and on the use of biosensors. Molecular Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases offers clinical microbiologists, clinical chemists, and pathologists unique tools with which to develop improved assays for diagnosing infectious diseases. The book is certain to play a leading role in helping researchers to understand and realize in their daily work the powerful potential of molecular diagnostic techniques in clinical microbiology today.

Modernization Science: The Principles and Methods of National Advancement By Chuanqi He (auth.)
2012 | 648 Pages | ISBN: 3642254586 | PDF | 7 MB
Depending on their national level of income, development and modernization, all countries in the world can be generally categorized as either advanced or developing. Studies on why advanced countries continue to develop, how they maintain their level of development, and how developing countries enter into the advanced club fall into the field of "modernization science," which is an emerging interdisciplinary science. This monograph, the first English book available on "modernization science," interprets its concepts, methodologies, general theories, first and second modernization, six level-specific, six field-specific and three sector-specific modernizations, modernization policy and evaluation, and the principles and methods of national development since the 18th century. It provides clear, systematic, up-to-date information on this new discipline with more than 173 figures and 265 tables, and covers 131 countries and 97% of the global population. A comprehensive outlook on world modernization is presented from a Chinese perspective.
