There have been many text books dealing with yeast molecular biology and genetics, but less examine the subject of yeast physiology. Yeast Physiology and Biotechnology aims to fill this gap in the literature by covering salient areas of yeast growth and metabolism and their linkage to biotechnology.

Graduate students and teachers of introductory graduate courses in curriculum have many textbooks to choose from. What is special about Fundamentals of Curriculum: Passion and Professionalism, Second Edition?
Content and approach: Clear, focused, and tightly structured, this text provides essential information and resources education professionals need to effectively deal with the urgent and important curriculum problems they face in schools today. Part I ("Perspectives") looks at curriculum from five fundamental perspectives: curriculum work, traditions of curriculum...

Volume 26 of this work provides insights into the mechanisms of primary carbonization; reviews the graphitization of various carbon materials under applied pressures; discusses changes in the thermal-mechanical properties of carbon/carbon composites due to stress effects; describes factors that result in the acceleration of the graphitization process; addresses the carbonization and graphitization of aromatic polymide films, and the quality control and quality of graphite films; and more.

In recent years there has been a tremendous increase in our understanding of the functioning of the cell at the molecular level. This has been achieved in the main by the invention and development of new methodology, parti- larly in that area generally referred to as "genetic en- neering." While this revolution has been taking place in the field of nucleic acids research, the protein chemist has at the same time developed fresh methodology to keep pace with the requirements of present day molecular bi- ogy. Today's molecular biologist can no longer be content with being an expert in one...
