Download or read book Chemical Biomarkers in Aquatic Ecosystems written by Thomas S. Bianchi and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-28 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook provides a unique and thorough look at the application of chemical biomarkers to aquatic ecosystems. Defining a chemical biomarker as a compound that can be linked to particular sources of organic matter identified in the sediment record, the book indicates that the application of these biomarkers for an understanding of aquatic ecosystems consists of a biogeochemical approach that has been quite successful but underused. This book offers a wide-ranging guide to the broad diversity of these chemical biomarkers, is the first to be structured around the compounds themselves, and examines them in a connected and comprehensive way. This timely book is appropriate for advanced undergraduate and graduate students seeking training in this area; researchers in biochemistry, organic geochemistry, and biogeochemistry; researchers working on aspects of organic cycling in aquatic ecosystems; and paleoceanographers, petroleum geologists, and ecologists. Provides a guide to the broad diversity of chemical biomarkers in aquatic environments The first textbook to be structured around the compounds themselves Describes the structure, biochemical synthesis, analysis, and reactivity of each class of biomarkers Offers a selection of relevant applications to aquatic systems, including lakes, rivers, estuaries, oceans, and paleoenvironments Demonstrates the utility of using organic molecules as tracers of processes occurring in aquatic ecosystems, both modern and ancient

Download or read book The Corona Lie Unmasked written by Hermann von Bering and published by Tredition Gmbh. This book was released on 2021-04-08 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to examine the Corona phenomenon in its entirety and uncovers plenty of contradictions. A wealth of information is substantiated with hundreds of sources and raises doubts about the official account of the virus, the disease and the sense of the measures. The political background responsible for the economic decline is revealed. The book answers important questions such as: Can the PCR test detect infections at all? Why do the statistics show far too high case numbers? How dangerous is the virus really? What did the alledged "corona" dead die of? What are the problems of wearing masks? Why lockdowns and spacing rules cannot stop the virus? Why are the new vaccinations hazardous? Who planned and profits from the global crisis? What is the objective? What is happening to the freedom of speech and democracy? Why the fundamental rights are being abolished? The book reveals the secret agenda behind the corona crisis. From thousands of documents, the author has researched the evidence that is hidden by the media. It presents the facts in a way that is easy to understand for everybody. Despite scientific explanations, the book reads easily because the author knows how to lighten up the complex topic with ironic comments.
Download or read book Persistent Organic Pollutants POPs Analytical Techniques Environmental Fate and Biological Effects written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 685 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on those organic chemicals that are regulated by the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). as well as organic chemical with the attributes of being persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic to ecosystem and human beings, criteria used by the Stockholm Convention for screening POP candidates. Because of the unfavourable properties of POPs, numerous research efforts have been directed toward investigating their input sources, fate, and effects, with the help of continuously improving analytical technologies. The contributors to this book provide an integrated assessment of existing data, which will benefit both the scientific and management communities in planning further research projects and/or pollution control measures. - Comprehensive overview of recent advances in analyzing persistent organic pollutants (POPs) - Covers input sources, fate and biological effects of POPs - Contains essential information for environmental management

Download or read book Materials for Energy Infrastructure written by Werasak Udomkichdecha and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents contributions to the topics of materials for energy infrastructure with a focus on data and informatics for materials. This spectrum of topics has been chosen because challenges in terms of materials are identified to lie in transport and storage of energy, adequate supply of food and water, well-working infrastructure, materials for medical application and health, efficient use of scarce resources or elements and alternate materials solutions as well as recycling. The contributions were invited at the 4th WMRIF Young Materials Scientist Workshop held at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, Colorado, USA during September 8-10, 2014.

Download or read book Alphaherpesviruses written by Sandra Knowles Weller and published by Caister Academic Press Limited. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alphaherpesviruses are a fascinating group of DNA viruses that includes important human pathogens such as herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), HSV-2, and varicella-zoster virus (VZV): the causative agents of cold sores, genital ulcerous disease, and chickenpox/shingles, respectively. A key attribute of these viruses is their ability to establish lifelong latent infection in the peripheral nervous system of the host. Such persistence requires subversion of the host's immune system and intrinsic antiviral defense mechanisms. Understanding the mechanisms of the immune evasion and what triggers viral reactivation is a major challenge for today's researchers. This has prompted enormous research efforts into understanding the molecular and cellular biology of these viruses. This up-to-date and comprehensive volume aims to distill the most important research in this area providing a timely overview of the field. Topics covered include: transcriptional regulation, DNA replication, translational control, virus entry and capsid assembly, the role of microRNAs in infection and oncolytic vectors for cancer therapy. In addition there is coverage of virus-host interactions, including apoptosis, subversion of host protein quality control and DNA damage response pathways, autophagy, establishment and reactivation from latency, interferon responses, immunity and vaccine development. Essential reading for everyone working with alphaherpesviruses and of interest to all virologists working on latent infections.
