DNA Repair and Replication contains an up-to-date review of general principles of DNA replication and an overview of the multiple pathways involved in DNA repair. Specific DNA repair pathways, including base-excision repair, light-dependent direct reversal of UV-damage, nucleotide-excision repair, transcription-coupled repair, double-strand break repair, and mismatch repair, are each discussed in separate chapters.

Selected Contents:

• Base Excision Repair
• Eukaryotic DNA Mismatch Repair
• Double Strand Break Repair
• Functions of DNA...

This is the first mechatronics book dealing with coupled mechanical and electrical actions, an emerging branch of modern technology. Authored by the leading scientist in this field, the book treats various subjects along the interface between mechanics and electronics.

This monograph written by two Chinese scientists of the younger generation opens a window into the world of thoughts on Mechanical Metallurgy in this fascinating area of our world, characterized by age old cultural heritage as weil as by its dynamic evolution into the future. Based on notions and names all so familiar to the western scientist, and regarding the subject from the point of view of the theoretical mechanical engineer (Yang) as weil as that of the materials and manufacturing engineer (Lee), the authors present a synthesis of both approaches and endeavour to guide the reader from...
