Impulse: Why We Do What We Do Without Knowing Why We Do It
ISBN: 9780674725492 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. "It seemed like a good idea at the time" has been the limp excuse of many a person whose actions later became cause for regret. Although we see ourselves as rational beings, we are far more likely to act according to impulse than logic. Nor is this always a bad thing, David Lewis suggests. Impulse explores all the mystifying things people do despite knowing better, from blurting out indiscretions to falling for totally incompatible romantic partners. Informed by the latest research in neuropsychology, this eye-opening account explains why snap decisions so often govern--and...

Cytochromes are coloured iron-containing proteins that transfer electrons during cellular respiration and photosynthesis. The Cytochrome P450 family of enzymes catalyze reactions whereby water-insoluble drugs or metabolites, that would otherwise reach toxic levels in cell membranes, are rendered suitably water-soluble to leave the cell and be excreted in the urine. This reference reviews the current status of the P450 field in terms of our present knowledge and understanding of the enzymes' structure and function, including their multiplicity of forms, diversity of substrates and selectivity....

Conventions are contrasted with other kinds of regularity, and conventions governing systems of communication are given special attention. Convention was immediately recognized as a major contribution to the subject and its significance has remained undiminished since its first ... |
