Plant genetics has emerged as an exciting area of research by creating unprecedented opportunities for the manipulation of biological systems of plants. The applications of plant genetics to increase crop field, improve crop quality, and reduce production costs have been considerable. The new transgenic techniques create new gene combinations with novel traits such as resistance to pest, disease and herbicides.
Today it is possible to develop plants that provide ...
This book is explicitly aimed at University Undergraduate and postgraduate students undertaking a subject covering marine biology. It is concerned with Marine Ecology, ecosystems, salt marshes and marine toxicology rather than the practical parts, and so there is no mention of identification techniques, there are no family descriptions, and there is no list terminology.
The book is not really concerned with marine biology as a modern science, but is more a ...
Botany is the Science of plants. Science might be defined as an intellectual analysis of a given subject. It is the attempt to conclude from single Observations to a General validity, to extrapolate from known and to have a Look at different arguments. Plant Kingdom is the base of Earth's food chain and, as such, is the Foundation for all life as we know it today, in the recent past, and in the deep past. New ideas and Theories pertaining to such ...
Molluscs represent one of the largest and most diverse phyla in the entire animal kingdom. Next to the arthropods, they have the most named species in the animal kingdom. Molluscs both extinct and living compromise about 11 per cent of all animal species that have ever evolved during the entire course of earthy history. The diversity of the phylum is shown by the seven known classes, which are represented by the snails, mussels, oysters, clams, squids, octopuses ...
Spectroscopic techniques form the largest and most important singly group of techniques used in Chemistry. This book takes a tutorial approach to the use of spectroscopic measurement techniques in analytical science, providing immediate guidance and advice to individuals in the course of their work. Each topic has been written in a clear and explanatory style to provide both straightforward concepts and invaluable background information. This approach, ...
Today our understanding of chemical bonding, molecular reactivities, and various other fundamental chemical problems rests heavily on our knowledge of the detailed behaviuor of electrons in atoms and molecules. This book describes in detail some of the basic principles, methods and results of quantum chemistry that lead to our understanding of electron behaviour. The basic aspects of inorganic chemistry are presented significantly in this book. Many ...
Computer and network security are challenging topics among executives and managers of computer corporations. Even discussing security policies may seem to create a potential liability. As a result, enterprise management tams are often not aware of the many advances and innovations in Internet and intranet security technology. Without this knowledge, corporations are not able to take full advantage of the benefits and capabilities of the network. Together, network ...
Molecular Cell Biology is an academic discipline which studies the Physiological properties of cells, as well as their behaviours, interactions, and environment. This is done both on a microscopic as well as molecular level. Cell Biology researches both single-celled organisms like bacteria and specialized cells in multicellular organisms like humans. The modern concepts of Molecular Cell Biology continue to be derived from experiments, and powerful experimental ...
The complete set of instructions for making an organism is called its genome. It contains the master blueprint for all cellular structure and activities for the lifetime of the cell or organism. Found in every nucleus of a person’s many trillions of cells, the human genome consists of tightly coiled threads of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and associated protein molecules, organised into structures called chromosomes. This book provides comprehensive and ...
Plants are the basis for thee Earth’s ecosystem and food web and, without them, complex animals life forms could never have evolved. They are unique amongst the eukaryotes, organism whose cells have membrane-enclosed nuclei and organelles, because they can manufacture their own food. Chlorophyll, which gives plants their green colour, enables them to use sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugar and carbohydrates-chemicals the cell uses for fuel. ...
This unique book leads to higher levels of student performance by providing a thoughtful context and practical framework for understanding the potential of technology to enrich teaching and learning. From teachers and administrators to board members and parents, Information Technology for Schools is an invaluable guide for any school or district that is serious about systemic and continuous improvement. At last educators have a resource that offers a ...
This debate about the role, effectiveness and costs of technology will be resolved neither quickly nor easily. Multiple questions about educational goals and alternative uses of limited resources hinder our ability to structure the debate. It is intended both as a broad review of ongoing and planned applications of the Internet and Web in higher education, and as an analysis of key technical and educational issues as well as broader social issues that these ...
The use of the terms types, classes, orders, families, gnera, and species in the systems of Zoology is so universal, that it would be natural to suppose that their meaning and extent are well determined and generally understood; but this is so far from being the case that it may on the contrary be said that there is no subject in Natural History respecting which there exists more uncertainty or a greater want of precision. Under these circumstances it has ...
Although there is no dearth of elegant books on ‘Thermodynamics’ for undergraduate and post-graduate students, yet there are few books written in a form which focuses attention on all the important aspects of Thermodynamics and holds the interest of inquisitive students. This book provides an authoritative account of every aspect of Thermodynamics of current interest and demonstrates progress in this subject that has been made in the recent past. Every ...
