The necessity to subject the natural food materials to some kind of treatment...

Rogue Waves in the Ocean (Advances in Geophysical and Environmental Mechanics and Mathematics)

Springer, 2009

The book is written for specialists in the fields of fluid mechanics, applied mathematics, nonlinear physics, physical oceanography and geophysics, and also for students learning these subjects. It includes a wide range of observational data on rogue (or freak) waves in the seas and coastal waters, as well as presenting a basic statistical...

Biofuels for Transport: An International Perspective

Organization for Economic, 2004

The IEA last published a book on biofuels in 1994 (Biofuels). Many developments have occurred in the past decade, though policy objectives remain similar: improving energy security and curbing greenhouse gas emissions are, perhaps more than ever, important priorities for IEA countries. And, more than ever, transportation energy...

Dramatic advances in our understanding of cancer causation have come from epidemiologic and laboratory research, particularly over the past two decades. These developments have included a broadening interest in the critical events that take place during the early stages of the dynamic multistep process leading to invasive...

Integrative Physiology in the Proteomics and Post-Genomics Age

Humana Press, 2005

There is a perception in the scientific community that the discipline of Physiology is in crisis, or at least, in a phase of profound transition and change. At the root of the problem is confusion between objectives (the biological questions to be solved) and the methods and technologies to be applied. Traditionally, ever since...

Creativity: Understanding Innovation in Problem Solving, Science, Invention, and the Arts

Human Cytosolic Sulfotransferases

CRC Press, 2005

The existence of multiple sulfotransferases (SULTS) was first discovered in 1958. Since then, any attempts to create a comprehensive text dedicated to sulfation and sulfotransferases have been rare and, thanks to rapid advances in molecular biology and biochemistry, quickly outdated. However, those advances have permitted an accelerated...

Cytokines in Human Health: Immunotoxicology, Pathology, and Therapeutic Applications (Methods in Pharmacology and Toxicology)

Humana Press, 2007

Over the past three decades the field of immunotoxicology, the study of the effects of exposure to drugs, chemicals, or physical/environmental agents on the structure and function of the immune system has benefited from an increasingly detailed understanding of the cellular and molecular basis of innate and acquired immunity....

Immunopharmacology of Platelets (Handbook of Immunopharmacology)

Academic Press, 1995

Although anucleated, blood platelets are extraordinarily efficient cells and still the subject of fruitful investigations in haematology, in vascular physiology, in biochemistry, and more recently in immunology and in physiopathology where their metabolism has been implicated as a source of potential effector compounds. It...
