The Biogenesis of Cellular Organelles (Molecular Biology Intelligence Unit)

The Biogenesis of Cellular Organelles (Molecular Biology Intelligence Unit), 9780306479908 (0306479907), Springer, 2004

The evolution of modern cell biology tools, such as confocal imaging
techniques and advanced electron microscopy methodologies, has allowed
for ever improving structural and functional characterizations of the cell.
Such methods complement classical genetics and biochemistry in the ongoing
effort to define cellular science. This is especially apparent in the area of
organelle biology. Studies dating back over 100 years to the present have
revealed the elaborate collection of distinctive membrane-bound cytoplasmic
subcompartments, termed organelles, within the eukaryotic cell and defined
their roles in mediating numerous specialized functions in cellular physiology.
Organelles play an essential role in the cell in large part through ensuring a
tight regulatory and functional separation of distinct chemical reactions, such
as cellular respiration, and molecular processes, such as protein degradation
and DNA replication. Many organelles are common to virtually all cell types
(e.g., the nucleus) while others reside only in certain differentiated cells (e.g.,
the lysosome-related lytic granules and melanosomes found in cytotoxic T
lymphocytes and melanocytes, respectively). The unique characteristics of
such heterogeneous cellular organelles are dictated by their particular biochemical
composition and complement of biomolecules.

Geodetic Heights (Springer Geophysics)

Springer, 2019

This book provides the necessary background of geometry, mathematics and physical geodesy, useful to a rigorous approach to geodetic heights. The concept of height seems to be intuitive and immediate, but on the contrary it requires a good deal of scientific sharpness in the definition and use. As a matter of fact the geodetic, geographic...

Pragmatic Version Control: Using Subversion (The Pragmatic Starter Kit Series) (2nd Edition)

Pragmatic Bookshelf, 2006

This book covers the theory behind version control and how it can help developers become more efficient, work better as a team, and keep on top of software complexity. Version control, done well, is your "undo" button for the project: nothing is final, and mistakes are easily rolled back.

This book describes Subversion 1.3, the...
