Drosophila models have been developed for a large variety of aging-related processes and diseases, and this book provides readers with an overview of current research on the...

This book is about the importance of water in determining the structure, stability and responsive behavior of biological membranes. Water confers to lipid membranes unique features in terms of surface and mechanical properties. The analysis of the hydration forces, plasticiser effects, controlled hydration, formation of microdomains of confined water suggests that water is an active constituent in a water-lipid system.

The chapters describe water organization at the lipid membrane-water interphase, the water penetration, the long range water structure in the presence of lipid...

This edited collection focuses on performance practice and analysis that engages with medical and biomedical sciences. After locating the 'biologization' of theatre at the turn of the twentieth century, it examines a range of contemporary practices that respond to understandings of the human body as revealed by biomedical science.

In bringing together a variety of analytical perspectives, the book draws on scholars, scientists, artists and practices that are at the forefront of current creative, scientific and academic research. Its exploration of the dynamics and exchange between...

Wie gross? Wie schwer? Wie dick? Wie schnell? Wie viel? Wie oft? So beginnen sehr haufig Fragen in der Schule und im Studium. Als Antworten werden genaue und moglichst rekordverdachtige Struktur- und Funktionsdaten erwartet. Daruber hinaus sind es haufig Fragen zum eigenen Korper, zur Gesundheit oder zu gesellschaftlichen Veranderungen, die einen nach zahlenmassigen Belegen suchen lassen.

Das bewahrte Konzept der 3. Auflage wurde in der komplett uberarbeiteten und aktualisierten 4. Auflage inhaltlich und strukturell fortgesetzt. Ein Einfuhrungstext in die Kapitel bringt die Leser zum...
