Microbic Dissociation II -- Twort-D'Herelle: A Critical Review And New (Homogamic) Conception
ISBN: 9781491233207 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The working hypothesis ... is that the bacteriophage is either a definite stage in the cyclogeny of the bacterial species, or a functionally active particle accessory to one of these stages; and by the term "accessory" I mean possessing complementary or reciprocal biologic significance, such, for example, as the relation of sperm cell to ovum. With such a conception there is not any priority of significance in the relation between bacteriophagic corpuscle and the cell which it "attacks." Both elements are necesary components of a definite reproductive mechanism possessed by many, if not all,...

ISBN: 9781491233306 / Angielski / Miękka / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The title paper in this compilation, "Filtrable Bacteria," was published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases in 1931. This was the third in a series dealing with the subject of bacterial variability. The first ("Microbic Dissociation") was published in 1927, and the second ("The Twort-d'Herelle Phenomenon") in 1928. "Filtrable Bacteria" continues the study of dissociative variations among bacteria, and addresses the method of production, the cultural behavior, the morphology and the filterability of what may be termed "the filterable virus stage" of the Shiga dysentery bacillus. PHILIP...

Riddled with Life: Friendly Worms, Ladybug Sex, and the Parasites That Make Us Who We Are
ISBN: 9780156034685 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We treat disease as our enemy. Germs and infections are things we battle. But what if we ve been giving them a bum rap?
From the earliest days of life on earth, disease has evolved alongside us. And its presence isn't justnatural but is also essential to our health. Drawing on the latest research, Zuk answers a fascinating range of questions about disease: Why do men die younger than women? Why are we attracted to our mates? Why does the average male bird not have a penis? Why do we--as well as insects, birds, pigs, cows, goats, and even plants--get STDs? Why do we have sex at all, rather...

A brilliant, groundbreaking report on the dramatic rise of allergic and autoimmune disease, and the controversial therapies scientists are developing to correct these disorders. From asthma to Crohn's disease, everyone knows someone who suffers from an allergic or autoimmune disorder. And if it appears that the prevalence of these maladies has increased recently, that's because it has--to levels never before seen in human history. These days no fewer than one in five--and likely more--Americans suffers from one of these ailments. We seem newly, and bafflingly, vulnerable to immune...

Immune Crossover IV - Network Faces - The Lost Environment
ISBN: 9780755204793 / Angielski / Miękka / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While we have a feeling that our 'thought experiment' could bear fruit, we are far from the idea that equivalent expressions by the brain and the immune function point to an axis of both systems. Al-though major players, they also depend on the regulation of the rest of the body. As we focus here rather on a social context, many more factors are to be accounted for. Shanty-towns, rather than being seen in a dismissive context, may provide clues to historical conditions, a tip off perhaps to update the idea of 'individualistic' immunity. Subjected to all kinds of inward and outward...

The most famous happened at the end of the Cretaceous Period, when the dinosaurs and two-thirds of all marine animal species were wiped out, opening the door for the age of mammals and the rise of Homo Sapiens. Using this example as a springboard, David M. Raup leaps into an egaging discussion of the theories, assumptions, and difficulties associated with the science of species extinction. Woven is along the way are stories of the trilobite eye, tropical reefs, flying reptiles, and the fate of the heath hen on...

Life's Engines: How Microbes Made Earth Habitable
ISBN: 9780691173351 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For almost four billion years, microbes had the primordial oceans all to themselves. The stewards of Earth, these organisms transformed the chemistry of our planet to make it habitable for plants, animals, and us.

Paul Falkowski looks "under the hood" of microbes to find the engines of life, the actual working parts that do the biochemical heavy lifting for every living organism on Earth....
