Ökophysik
By: Nachtigall, W.
Published by: Springer
Prof. em. Dr. rer. nat. Werner Nachtigall, geb. 1934, war als Zoophysiologe und Biophysiker Leiter des Zoologischen Instituts der UniversitC$t des Saarlandes in Saarbrucken. In Forschung und Ausbildung hat er sich insbesondere mit Aspekten der Technischen Biologie und Bionik befasst und mit seinen Forschergruppen viele Basisdaten insbesondere zur Okologie, Physiologie und Physik des Fliegens und Schwimmens aber auch zur StabilitC$t beispielsweise der GrC$ser erarbeitet. Lebewesen uberraschen immer wieder durch ihre "BiodiversitC$t," ihre hochspezifischen Ausgestaltungen und Anpassungen. Dabei nutzen sie auch alle physikalischen Grundgesetzlichkeiten. Das zentrale Thema ist die Ortsbewegung, die ja auf dem Boden und in den Fluiden (Wasser, Luft) denkbar unterschiedlich ablC$uft. ErgC$nzende Themenkreise sind KC6rpergrC6Ce und Stoffwechsel, Atmung und Atemgastransport, WC$rme- und Wasserhaushalt. Mit dem vorliegenden Buch, das in Zusammenarbeit mit Dr. rer. nat. Alfred Wisser entstanden ist, stellt er solche Forschungsergebnisse in einen grC6Ceren Rahmen und berichtet kenntnisreich und allgemein verstC$ndlich uber die bOkophysik" des Lebens auf dem Land, im Wasser und in der Luft b" mit Gewinn zu lesen von jedem, der sich fur Biologie oder fur Physik interessiert (oder gar fur beides).

11th Hour Introduction to Molecular Biology
By: Raineri, Deanna
Published by: Wiley-Blackwell
The 11th Hour Series is designed to be used when a textbook doesn''t make sense, when the course content is tough, or when you just want a better grade in the course. The authors cut through the fluff, get to what you need to know, and then help you understand it.:.; Clinical correlations or everyday applications include examples from the real world to help students understand key concepts more readily.; Dedicated web page, there 24 hours a day, will give extra help, tips, warnings of trouble spots, extra visuals and more.; A quick check on what background students will need to apply helps equip them to conquer a topic.; The most important information is highlighted and explained, showing the big picture and eliminating the guesswork.; After every topic and every chapter, lots of opportunity for drill is provided in every format, multiple choice, true/false, short answer, essay.; An easy trouble spot identifier demonstrates which areas need to be reinforced and where to find information on them.; Practice midterms and finals prep them for the real thing.

Actin-binding Proteins and Disease
By: Remedios, Cristobal G.Dos (ed.); Chhabra, Deepak (ed.)
Published by: Springer
Actin is a ubiquitous protein present in high concentrations in virtually all cells. It's assembly and disassembly is modulated by more than 100 actin-binding proteins. These interactions are essential for a variety of important cellular processes including cell division, gene expression and motility. There are scattered reports in the published literature citing relationships between actin, actin-binding proteins and disease. This volume brings this information together for the first time, with a focus on human disorders. This volume is relevant to a wide readership including cell biologists interested in understanding how structural and functional changes in proteins impact on the organism as a whole. Additionally, clinicians will be interested because the book explains the role of cytoskeletal proteins in various diseases, including cancer and immune system disorders.
