Reinigung und Dekontamination von Oberflächen nach Insektizidanwendungen: Vergleichende biologische und chemische Untersuchungen zum Dekontaminationserfolg
Diplomica Verlag 2012; US$ 37.73Hauptbeschreibung Der Einsatz von Bioziden - unter diese Mittel fallen Insektizide - ist erforderlich, um hygienischen, aber auch volkswirtschaftlichen Schäden vorzubeugen. Biozide finden in vielen Bereichen des alltäglichen Lebens ihre Anwendung, angefangen beim Pflanzenschutz zur Bekämpfung von schädlingsbedingten Ernteeinbußen (Pflanzenschutzmittel)... more...
Immunosenescence
Springer 2012; US$ 149.99As individuals age, their ability to respond to and clear pathogens and to control unwanted immune reactions declines, leading to a greater incidence of certain infectious diseases, autoimmunity and general immune dysfunctions. Most remarkably, the efficacy of vaccines is frequently decreased in elderly persons. Therefore, age-associated dysfunctions... more...
Anoxia
Springer 2011; US$ 169.99Anoxia defines the lack of free molecular oxygen in an environment. In the presence of organic matter, anaerobic prokaryotes produce compounds such as free radicals, hydrogen sulfide, or methane that are typically toxic to aerobes. The concomitance of suppressed respiration and presence of toxic substances suggests these habitats are inhospitable to... more...
Mechanical Stretch and Cytokines
Springer 2011; US$ 149.99This book presents the latest findings in the field of investigation of molecular mechanisms of mechanical stretch and the role of cytokines in response of different tissues to it. On the one hand this volume demonstrates how mechanical stretch enhances cytokines production. It describes how cytokines influence tissues and cells on a background of... more...
Microorganisms in Sustainable Agriculture and Biotechnology
Springer 2012; US$ 219.99This review of recent developments in our understanding of the role of microbes in sustainable agriculture and biotechnology covers a research area with enormous untapped potential. Chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and other agricultural inputs derived from fossil fuels have increased agricultural production, yet growing awareness and concern... more...
Microorganisms in Environmental Management
Springer 2012; US$ 219.99Microbes and their biosynthetic capabilities have been invaluable in finding solutions for several intractable problems mankind has encountered in maintaining the quality of the environment. They have, for example, been used to positive effect in human and animal health, genetic engineering, environmental protection, and municipal and industrial waste... more...
Epigenetic Regulation of Lymphocyte Development
Springer 2012; US$ 149.99The studies described in this volume serve as a starting point to familiarize oneself with the multifarious differences in epigenetic designs that orchestrate the progression of developing blood cells. They also may serve as a general paradigm for the mechanisms that underpin the control of eukaryotic gene expression. more...
Ricin and Shiga Toxins
Springer 2012; US$ 149.99In May of 2011, Western Europe experienced a severe outbreak of Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing E. coli (STEC) that culminated in more than 3200 cases and 39 deaths. While Stx is not the only virulence factor associated with STEC, it is certainly the primary determinant associated with the onset of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). At the present time,... more...
