Physics of Biomaterials: Fluctuations, Selfassembly and Evolution
ISBN: 9780792341314 / Angielski / Twarda / 378 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Recent years have seen a growing interest in and activity at the interface between physics and biology, with the realization that both subjects have a great deal to learn from and to teach to one another. A particularly promising aspect of this interface concerns the area of cooperative phenomena and phase transitions. The present book addresses both the structure and motion of biological materials and the increasingly complex behaviour that arises out of interactions in large systems, giving rise to self organization, adaptation, selection and evolution: concepts of interest not only to...

Ion Channels: Volume 3
ISBN: 9780306441660 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the past few years, the scientific community has witnessed significant progress in the study of ion channels. Technological advancement in biophysics, molecular biology, and immunology has been greatly ac- celerated, making it possible to conduct experiments which were deemed very difficult if not impossible in the past. For example, patch-clamp techniques can now be used to measure ionic currents generated by almost every type of cell, thereby allowing us to analyze whole-cell and single- channel events. It is now possible to incorporate purified ion channel components into lipid bilayers...

Exposure Assessment in a Busway Canyon
ISBN: 9783639218787 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The study focuses on ultrafine particles (diameters less than 100 nm) emitted by diesel buses and assesses exposure to humans. The project examines particle inventory at the Woolloongabba busway station (Brisbane, Australia) over the winter months during which temperature inversions frequently occur. Since exhaust particles may be composed of toxic and carcinogenic substances it is the aim of this project to investigate the exposure to the waiting passengers. During the course of this study, a passenger census is conducted based on video surveillance, yielding person-by-person waiting time...

Biophysics of Dna-Protein Interactions: From Single Molecules to Biological Systems
ISBN: 9780387928074 / Angielski / Twarda / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Depite the rapid expansion of the field of biophysics, there are very few books that comprehensively treat specific topics in this area. Recently, the field of single molecule biophysics has developed very quickly, and a few books specifically treating single molecule methods are beginning to appear. However, the promise of single molecule biophysics is to contribute to the understanding of specific fields of biology using new methods. This book would focus on the specific topic of the biophysics of DNA-protein interactions, and would include the use of new approaches, including both bulk...

Cellular Mechanics and Intracellular Organization
ISBN: 9783639221220 / Angielski / Miękka / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mechanical signals affect and regulate many aspects of the cell's behaviour, including morphology, growth, differentiation, gene expression and cell death. In this study we investigate how mechanical stress perturbs the intracellular structures of the cell and induces mechanical responses. In order to correlate mechanical perturbations to cellular responses, a combined fluorescence-atomic force microscope (AFM) was used to produce well defined nanomechanical perturbations while simultaneously tracking the real-time motion of fluorescently labelled intracellular organelles, such as...

Biological Energy Conservation: Oxidative Phosphorylation
ISBN: 9780412233609 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The student of biological science in his final years as an undergraduate and his first years as a graduate is expected to gain some familiarity with current research at the frontiers of his discipline. New research work is published in a perplexing diversity of publications and is inevitably concerned with the minutiae of the subject. The sheer number of research journals and papers also causes confusion and difficulties of assimilation. Review articles usually presuppose a background know- ledge of the field and are inevitably rather restricted in scope. There is thus a need for short but...

an electric signal developed across a colloidal or ionic solution with a presence of ultrasound. In colloidal suspensions, the vibration potential is generated as a consequence of the different motions of the colloidal particles and the solvent under the alternating acceleration in a sound wave. Upon passage of a sound wave, the normally spherical distribution of counter charge around those particles is periodically distorted resulting in the ... Ultrasonic vibration potential refers to

Perfluorocarbon compounds used as gas carriers
ISBN: 9783639245851 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Perfluorocarbons are fluorine substituted halocarbons. They have been used in several technological areas because of their thermal and chemical stability. In addition they are biocompatible and can dissolve large amounts of gas as compared to water. Their capacity of dissolution of oxygen and carbon dioxide makes them desirable gas carriers. Consequently, they have undergone trials, for liquid ventilation, oxygen therapeutics (blood substitutes), cell culture and organ preservation, among others. Pharmaceutical companies have invested intensively in this research field because of...

Birth is associated with a risk for asphyxia-induced brain damage, principally due to complications during delivery. An important hallmark of asphyxic encephalopathy is that it often requires hours to days to manifest after resuscitation, the result: early prognosis and treatment could potentially improve outcomes. This book presents a novel, minimally-invasive near-infrared spectroscopy bedside technique to measure brain metabolism and blood flow as promising diagnostics of asphyxia. Presented is an overview of the current clinical status of critical care for asphyxic newborns, in addition...

Calculating Muscle Forces
ISBN: 9783639247527 / Angielski / Miękka / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Models are used to simulate and calculate individual muscle forces and body mass accelerations. Parameters which describe the characteristics of the modeled muscles are important input variables. Since they are estimated values it is of interest how variations to those parameters influence the calculated forces and resulting accelerations. Which parameters are crucial and which ones can be neglected? Are there interdependences between muscles? For example, does a change in force produced by one muscle affect the performance of another? The author Gisela Hoflinger gives an introduction of...
