University of California Press; 2002; 290стр.; ISBN: 0520231570 The Cactaceae family, with about sixteen hundred species, is cultivated worldwide for fruits, forage, fodder, and even as a vegetable. Cacti are recognized for their attractive flowers, special stem shapes, and ability to tolerate drought. Because of their efficient use of water and other adaptations, biological and agronomic interest in cacti has soared. These fascinating plants also have much to teach us about biodiversity and conservation. Yet a current, synthetic, wide-ranging reference on cacti has not been available until now. This comprehensive book, compiled by a well-known cactus biologist, includes authoritative, up-to-date chapters by thirty-five contributors from around the world on topics ranging from evolution to biotechnology. It is the first book of its kind to compile information on cactus biology, ecology, and uses in one convenient place. The first half of the book provides a thorough overview of cactus biology and morphology and discusses the environmental and conservation issues that affect the plants. It includes a discussion of the evolution of the family, paying particular attention to new genetic and molecular approaches. The second half of the book focuses on the practical concerns of cultivating cacti, such as pest control and diseases, horticultural and forage applications, and techniques for agronomy. Other chapters cover the different markets for cacti and products that are made from them. This unique volume will be a reliable and informative reference for ecologists and environmentalists, agriculturists, plant biologists, and anyone seriously interested in these remarkable plants. 290 pages, 8-1/2 x 11 inches, 76 b/w photographs, 34 line illustrations, 39 tables Categories: Botany; Plants; Agriculture Preston-mafham R., Preston-mafham K.

Bokar Consultants; 2002; 218стр.; ISBN: 0963370324 Book Description The Scientific Secret of Health & Youth. The message from this book is an alkaline chemistry is a healthy ph for your cells to function in their optimum environment. the fact that your dna has to be bathed in calcium, in order to replicate, tells you of the importance of calcium in your diet and the coral calcium has the perfect 2:1 ratio for better absorption than any other calcium.Goodmorning America reported it as a scam by Dr. Stephen Barrett,but what most people don't know is Dr.Stephen Barrett is a psychiatrist and he has not even held a license since 1993 and has no knowledge or medical training in the field of homeopathic or alternative medicine. This is the person ABC Goodmorning America portrayed as an expert in his field.The importance of calcium in the diet is in study after medical study, but you won't hear that from your physician. Bob Barefoot backs up the benefits with medical studies, he is very knowledgeable about chemistry and how it applies to nutrition for the body. remember pharmaceutical companies cannot patent a vitamin or mineral, so there is no money in it for them, they have no interest.i watched my mother ,who suffered from acid reflux for 9+ years, after alkalizing her chemistry, be without any acid reflux symptoms for a year now, her blood pressure come back to normal and her arthritis pain diminsihed. i have seen first hand the benefits of having an alkaline ph chemistry.the book is written kind of rough shod, he would have been better off having someone write his thoughts, but the message is clear.If you are acidic, alkalize your chemistry and you will place your cells in their most optimum environment so that your body can heal itself. Methods in Molecular Biology кн.114 Ред. Lambert D.G. Humana Press; 1999; 376стр.; ISBN: 0896035972 David Lambert and a panel of leading authorities present a wide range of experimental protocols for studying Ca2+ signaling. These optimized techniques cover the more common applications, including 45Ca2+ flux measurements, and basic fluorometric technology, as well as more sophisticated methods, including confocal microscopy and subcellular Ca2+ imaging. There are also methods-largely based on fluorescence measurement-to determine Ca2+ channel activity and the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. Calcium Signaling Protocols offers today's researchers readily reproducible laboratory methods that make it possible to examine the calcium signaling process in detail in a range of cells of animal and plant origin. Methods in Signal Transduction Putney J.J. CRC Press; 2005; 536стр.; ISBN: 0849327830 Book Description The first edition of James Putney's Calcium Signaling offered readers a comprehensive view of the fascinating diversity of technologies that the new field of calcium signaling employed. And while that work is still regarded as a premier text on the basics of calcium signaling, progress has been so dramatic that an update is now required. In Calcium Signaling, Second Edition, Putney focuses on those processes that generate calcium signals to compile the first comprehensive exploration of calcium signaling research from a methodological standpoint. This new edition deals with methods for studying calcium from a variety of perspectives. Several chapters discuss calcium indicators and other tools, and look at microscopic and electrophysiological techniques, as well as other special methodological aspects of calcium signaling research. Other chapters examine the study of different systems, ranging from those found in yeast to those found in mammals, and several more are devoted to the cellular and molecular basis for calcium signaling, including explorations of receptors, calcium pumps, apoptosis, and drug delivery. Once again, Putney has called upon top researchers from across the globe to contribute their expertise. Several new chapters have been added and in many cases, where chapters from the first edition were retained, new researchers were recruited to offer a fresh perspective. As calcium signaling involves such a breadth of technical approaches and a wide range of applications, this work contains invaluable information for established researchers, as well as those graduate students and scientists just beginning to find a direction in cellular calcium signaling.

Ред. Lander E.S., Waterman M.S. National Academies Press; 1995; 300стр.; ISBN: 0309048869 As researchers have pursued biology's secrets to the molecular level, mathematical and computer sciences have played an increasingly important role--in genome mapping, population genetics, and even the controversial search for "Eve," hypothetical mother of the human race. In this first-ever survey of the partnership between the two fields, leading experts look at how mathematical research and methods have made possible important discoveries in biology. The volume explores how differential geometry, topology, and differential mechanics have allowed researchers to "wind" and "unwind" DNA's double helix to understand the phenomenon of supercoiling. It explains how mathematical tools are revealing the workings of enzymes and proteins. And it describes how mathematicians are detecting echoes from the origin of life by applying stochastic and statistical theory to the study of DNA sequences. This informative and motivational book will be of interest to researchers, research administrators, and educators and students in mathematics, computer sciences, and biology.

Hutchinson This CD-ROM version is the initial presentation of THE classic orthopedic reference text in this format. It represents the ninth edition of Canale's Campbell's Operative Orthopedics - 5 Volume set (Mosby-Year Book, Inc., 1998). The purpose of creating a CD-ROM version is not only to provide instant access and availability to the computer-literate orthopedist, but also to provide an alternative form of accessing the extensive text of material and reference available from Campbell's. It is a worthy objective. This CD-ROM is designed to be the most important reference text in most orthopedist's libraries. It is central to core education in most residency programs. It continues to serve the important role the text has played by including offerings in this new format. Since this was advertised as CD-ROM, I assumed I could plug it into my laptop and have an easily portable set of Campbell's. This was not the case. Once I realized that this version interacts with the Internet, I found it easy to load, easy to navigate, and quite valuable. Perhaps the greatest value is the instant access referencing which allows the user to identify each discussion on a topic of choice in the entire text. I would have hoped that each reference could have been brought up and read. Many of the scanned images were not crisp and clear and original radiographs were particularly poor. Campbell's Operative Orthopedics has long been THE classic orthopedic reference text, the cornerstone of every orthopedist's library, and the starting point of most literature searches. This new format invites a new generation of orthopedists to continue to use Campbell's as a primary reference. Ifound it easy to install and access information. It gives orthopedists access to Campbell's in the library, the home, the office, or anywhere they have access to a PC.

Springer-Verlag; 2010; 290стр.; ISBN: 1607614502 There are increasing relevant evidences in favor of the role of IgE in cancer immune surveillance and there are several new approaches exploiting IgE to treat cancer which include the development of IgE specific for cancer antigens, the use of using IgE as adjuvant of cancer vaccines, and novel vaccination approaches capable of triggering an anti-tumor IgE response. The book will include extensive epidemiological studies and preclinical results of IgE-based approaches. The editors and their collaborators believe that the role of IgE in cancer immune surveillance has been somewhat overlooked and the use of IgE-based anti-cancer approaches underexploited.

John Wiley & Sons; 2004; 290стр.; ISBN: 047085510X Review "This book…is highly informative, very up-to-date, and demonstrates the complex biochemical events that may result in carcinogenesis." (Doody's Electronic Journal) “…a useful guide to the considered thoughts of those within their field.” (The Newsletter of the British Society of Cell Biology, Summer 2005) Book Description Chronic inflammation predisposes to some forms of cancer and the host response to malignant disease shows several parallels with inflammation and wound healing. The cells involved in inflammation are detected in a range of common cancers, together with the inflammatory cytokines and members of the chemokine ligand/receptor systems. Neutralization or deletion of the gene for some inflammatory cytokines confers resistance to tumour induction and experimental metastasis. Over-expression of such cytokines in tumour cells may enhance malignant potential. Certain chemokines are likely to subvert antitumour immunity by favouring development of ineffective Type 2 responses. Tumour cells may even utilize chemokine receptors in homing to lymph nodes and other organs. Thus, the cells, cytokines and chemokines found in tumours are more likely to contribute to tumour growth, progression and immunosuppression than they are to mount an effective host antitumour response. This book draws together contributions from an international group of scientists and clinicians from diverse disciplines, ranging from epidemiology to immunology, cell biology, molecular oncology, molecular medicine and pharmacology to debate these and related issues. Topics covered include the epidemiological links between cancer and inflammation, the parallels between inflammation and cancer, the role of inflammation in cancer, inflammatory genes as risk factors for cancer initiation and progression, inflammation and cancer angiogenesis, and preventative and therapeutic strategies.

Useful background information is displayed in blue boxes, and good use is made of numerous tables and diagrams... a useful book for the undergraduate medical or allied health professional...” –Oncology News, May/June 2010 This forward looking cancer biology book appeals to a wide ranging audience. Introductory chapters that provide the molecular, cellular, and genetic information needed to comprehend the material of the subsequent chapters bring unprepared students up to speed for the rest of the book and serve as a useful refresher for those with previous biology background. The second set of chapters focuses on the main cancers in terms of risk factors, diagnostic and treatment methods and relevant current research. The final section encompasses the immune system’s role in the prevention and development of cancer and the impact that the Human Genome Project will have on future approaches to cancer care. While best suited to non-majors cancer biology courses, the depth provided satisfies courses that combine both majors and non-majors. Also, and deliberately, the authors have incorporated relevant information on diagnosis and treatment options that lend appeal to the lay reader. [attachmentid(right)=28417]
Ruddon R.W. Oxford University Press; 2007; 568стр.; ISBN: 0195175441 Book Description A thorough yet concise account of cancer biology, this book emphasizes the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the transformation of normal into malignant cells, the invasiveness of cancer cells into host tissues, and the metastatic spread of cancer cells in the host organism. It also defines the fundamental pathophysiological changes that occur in tumor tissue and in the host animal or patient. The approach throughout the book is to discuss the historical development of a field, citing the key experimental advances to the present day, and to evaluate the current evidence that best supports or rules out concepts of the molecular and cellular mechanisms regulating cancer cell behavior. For all the areas of fundamental cancer research, an effort has been made to relate basic research findings to the clinical disease states. The book is well illustrated with schematic diagrams and actual research data to demonstrate points made in the text, and there is an extensive, up-to-date bibliography. In this revision, Dr. Ruddon has organized his text to provide more integrated discussion of the many topics covered in the third edition. At the same time, he has included much new material on molecular genetics and genetic diagnosis (e.g., DNA microarrays to mark tumors), RNA interference, stem cells, cell cycle regulation, angiogenesis, etc. Book Info University of Nebraska, Omaha.
