Tim Bradley "Animal Osmoregulation"
Oxford University Press | 2009-02-15 | ISBN: 0198569955 | 320 pages | PDF | 2 MB


Water is fundamental to life and all metabolic reactions are influenced by the aqueous environment in which they occur. Osmoregulation and water balance are therefore absolutely essential topics in animal physiology.
Animal Osmoregulation collates a widely dispersed literature to produce a comprehensive and authoritative synthesis of the field, providing detailed examples of osmoregulatory processes at the organismal, organ and cellular level. It incorporates clear background information on ion regulation and transport (specifically in the light of recent molecular studies) and illustrates the physical principles to which each organism must adhere, as well as the phylogenetic constraints within which it must operate.
As with other titles in the Oxford Animal Biology Series, the topic is addressed using examples from throughout the animal kingdom, identifying common themes that transcend taxonomy.

Dose Finding in Drug Development (Statistics for Biology and Health) by: Naitee Ting (Editor)
Publisher: Springer | 2 May 2006 | ISBN: 0387290745 | Pages: 248 | PDF | 4.7 MB

This book introduces the drug development process, the design and analysis of clinical trials. Many of the discussions are based on applications of statistical methods in the design and analysis of dose response studies. Although the book is prepared mainly for statisticians/biostatisticians, it also serves as a useful reference to a variety of professionals working for the pharmaceutical industry. The potential readers include pharmacokienticists, clinical scientists, clinical pharmacologists, pharmacists, project managers, pharmaceutical scientists, clinicians, programmers, data managers, regulatory specialists, and study report writers. This book is also a good reference for professionals working in a drug regulatory environment, for example, the FDA. Scientists and/or reviewers from both U.S. and foreign drug regulatory agencies can benefit greatly from this book. In addition, statistical and medical professionals in academia may find this book helpful in understanding the drug development process and practical concerns in selecting doses for a new drug.

"The book will be of particular interest to statisticians with some pharmaceutical industry experience who find themselves working on phase II dose finding problems. It will also be valuable for clinicians and pharmacokineticists with some statistical background. All chapters in the book are extensively referenced as they each do not pretend to exhaust their subject." Journal of Biopharmaceutical Statistics, Issue #2, 2007

"The book is a collection of chapters contributed by different authors, each addressing a different aspect of the important problem of how to identify appropriate doses of medication during the drug development process a ] . Consequently the most appropriate audience is statisticians and biostatisticians who desire an overview of the medical and regulatory contexts of the design and analysis of dose response studies a ] . On the whole the individual chapters are well written, and the book overall is a nice reference a ] ." (C. A. Fung, Short Book Reviews, Vol. 26 (2), 2006)

"Dose Finding in Drug Development is a contemporary roadmap to the statistical design and analysis of dose-response studies, particularly those in phases II and III of drug development. ...In general, the book is easy to read. ...At roughly $5.71 per chapters, with each chapter authored by between one and three established experts, the book is a high-yield investment of any reader's time and money." (Thomas E. Bradstreet, Journal of the American Statistical Association, Vol. 102, No. 477, 2007)

Biotechnology for Odor and Air Pollution Control By Zarook Shareefdeen, Ajay Singh
Publisher: Springer | 17-03-2005 | ISBN: 3540233121 | 406 pages | 5.17 Mb

Biotechnology offers one of the most economical and environmentally benign methods of air pollution control for industrial and municipal airstreams. Volatile organic and inorganic odorous compounds from various industries are emitted in large quantities and create hazards to the ecosystem and health effects to humans. Thus, the demand for odor and air pollution control systems that provide nuisance-free, breathable air is constantly growing.



An international board of authors from universities, research institutes, and industries describe various biotechnological methods ranging from laboratory, to pilot evaluation and to full-scale process implementation. Topics include bioprocesses for the treatment of odors and air pollutants in wastewater treatment plants, rendering plants, chemical production facilities, and food and flavor manufacturing facilities. In addition to the basic microbiological and engineering aspects, the design, modeling and control of bioreactors are also presented.

Power, Sex, Suicide: Mitochondria and the Meaning of Life
Publisher: Oxford University Press | ISBN: 0192804812 | edition 2005 | PDF | 368 pages | 2,26 mb

Power, Sex, Suicide, Complexity, Individuality, Fertility, Prehistory, Ageing, Death. These universal themes are all linked by mitochondria - the tiny structures located inside our cells - miniature powerhouses that use oxygen to generate power. There are hundreds of them in each cell, some 10 million billion in a human being. Once considered menial slaves, mere workhorses for complex cells with nuclei, their significance is now undergoing a radical revision. Mitochondria are now seen as the key ingredient that made complex life possible at all. For two billion years, bacteria ruled the earth without ever generating true complexity - a stasis that may still grip life on other planets. Then the union of two bacterial cells led to an evolutionary big bang, from which algae, fungi, plants and animals emerged. For mitochondria were once free-living bacteria, and still retain unmistakable traits of their ancestry, including some of their original DNA. Ever since their fateful absorption, the tortuous and unpredictable relationship between the mitochondria and their host cells has forced one evolutionary innovation after another. Without mitochondria, nothing would exist of the world we know and love. Their story is the story of life itself. Today, mitochondria are central to research into human prehistory, genetic diseases, cell suicide, fertility, ageing, bioenergetics, sex and the eukaryotic cell. Piecing together puzzles from the forefront of research, this book paints a sweeping canvas that will thrill all who are interested in biology, while also contributing to evolutionary thinking and debate. This is a book full of startling insights into the nature and evolution of life, and should be read by anyone who wants to know why we're here.

Bernard Dixon, Alfred Hansel, "Der Pilz, der John F. Kennedy zum Präsidenten machte: Und andere Geschichten aus der Welt der Mikroorganismen"
Spektrum Verlag | 1998 | ISBN: 3827403987 | 379 pages | PDF | 1,35 MB

Sie wußten, daß es Bakterien gibt, die Joghurt machen, und daß es Bakterien gibt, die krank machen? Sie haben von giftigen Schimmelpilzen und von Pockenviren gehört?

Aber wußten Sie auch, daß John F. Kennedy seine Präsidentschaft dem Kartoffelpilz Phytophtora infestans verdankt? Nein? Dann lesen Sie Bernard Dixons Buch Der Pilz der John F. Kennedy zum Präsidenten machte. Und andere Geschichten aus der Welt der Mikroorganismen. Dies kommt im englischen Originaltitel Power Unseen: How Microbes Rule the World -- zu deutsch ungefähr "Ungeahnte Macht: Wie Mikroben die Welt beherrschen" -- noch besser zum Ausdruck. Er beschreibt die Welt der Mikroorganismen, die oft spannender ist, als man es vermutet. In 75 faszinierenden Anekdoten erzählt der englische Wissenschaftsjournalist, wie Viren, Bakterien, Pilze und Einzeller die Weltgeschichte beeinflußt haben und sie weiterhin beeinflussen werden. In seinem preisgekrönten Buch weckt er das Interesse für die Welt der kleinsten Organismen. Dixon berichtet über deren Einfluß: von der Pest im Mittelalter, bis zur modernen Nutzung als Maschinen in der Gentechnologie.

Ob Lebensmittel, hohe Politik, Umweltkatastrophen oder einfach nur stinkende Socken, überall haben fast unsichtbare Lebewesen ihre Finger (oder besser "Geißeln", "Scheinfüßchen" und "Hyphen") mit im Spiel. Der Leser findet auf den Spuren der Mikroorganismen Unterhaltung, ein spannendes Thema und lernt dazu noch mühelos die Eigenschaften und Unterschiede der bedeutendsten Mikroben kennen. Ein Buch, daß man zum Spaß genauso lesen kann, wie als kurzweilige Vorbereitung auf eine Vorlesung in Mikrobiologie. Ein Lesebuch, daß moderne Biologie auch für Nichtbiologen interessant und spannend macht.

Trace Elements From Soil to Human by: Alina Kabata-Pendias, Arun B. Mukherjee
Publisher: Springer | Mar 2006 | ISBN: 3540327134 | Pages: 576 | PDF | 16.2 MB

"This book from Springer leaves a thoroughly good first impression. Opening the hardcover the reader immediately finds clearly structured contents, lists of units and symbols, a periodic table of the elements and a glossary with abbreviations and acronyms. a ] All figures and tables are perceptible of reasonable size and supplied with informative captions. a ] Trace elements from soil to Human can be recommended to students, researchers, and professionals as a valuable source of information on trace element in the environment." (Alexander Plessow, Environmental Geology, Vol. 53, 2008)

The authors review the key features of trace elements in soils, plants and the food web on which human beings survive. Currently, the quality of food is highlighted and has become a subject of broad studies of various disciplines. Minor inorganic constituents of food, trace elements, are of special interest due to their specific properties in both abiotic and biotic environmental compartments. Hence, there is a need for comprehensive information on the distribution of trace elements in given environmnetal compartments and organisms. The authors' intention is to summarize up-to date interdisciplinary data for the concise presentation of our understanding of trace-element transfer in the chain from soil to man. Geochemical processes and information on international legislation on trace elements as both micronutrients and contaminants in soil and food are presented in parallel and are related to ecology and health risk assessments.
