Clinical microbiology made ridiculously simple

Is a brief, clear, thorough, and updated approach to clinical microbiology, brimming with mnemonics, humor, summary charts, and illustrations. Topics include Ebola, AIDS, flesh-eating bacteria, mad cow disease, hantavirus, anthrax, smallpox, and tuberculosis; the latest antibiotics; pandemic flu, including H7N9; SARS-like coronavirus; hepatitis C treatment options; HIV diagnostics and approved HIV meds; Zika virus; measles; and a new chapter on the latest emerging infectious diseases and drug-resistant bacteria. The major update to this book is the addition of a new chapter on the SARS-COV-2 virus and COVID-19 disease, which delves into the nature of the virus such as infectivity within the body, transmission between individuals, timeline of infectivity, symptoms, risk factors, therapeutics, and vaccines approved for use.

Biology of the Fungal Cell

"The volume is well illustrated and certainly realizes the primary aim of "The Mycota", namely to highlight developments in both basic and applied research into fungal systems." (Microbiology Today) "The Editors´ aim 'to provide a selected sampling of contemporary topics at the forefront of fungal cell biology' has certainly been achieved. Indeed, it is hard to imagine any mycologist not finding something fascinating in each of the chapters. ... Further, the volume is packed with material that will be extremely useful for those presenting basic courses in mycology - especially because of the many fine explanatory line drawings." (Mycological Research)

Biologie und epidemiologie der hormonersatztherapie : Diskussionen zur postmenopausalen gesundheit = Biology and epidemiology of hormone replacement therapy : Discussions on postmenopausal health

The advantages and disadvantages of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are discussed by a group of experts with regard to the epidemiological evidence. However, the focus of the discussion is the problem of breast cancer risk. Among other things, it is shown that the results derived from epidemiological studies do not coincide with the growth characteristics of these tumors, so that further population studies with the inclusion of pathobiological expertise appear necessary. The benefits and risks of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are discussed by a group of experts with a view towards the evidence provided by recent epidemiological studies. Although all aspects of HRT indications and contra-indications are reviewed, the particular emphasis of this discussion is on breast cancer. Among other things, it is shown that the evidence on breast cancer provided in epidemiological studies does not match the growth characteristics of the tumors, and that further population research incorporating pathobiological assessments is required.

Biological Invasions

This new volume on Biological Invasions deals with both plants and animals. It differs from previous books on the subject by extending from the level of individual species to an ecosystem and global level. Topics of highest societal relevance, such as the impact of genetically modified organisms, are interlinked with more conventional ecological aspects, including biodiversity. The combination of these approaches is new and makes compelling reading for researchers and environmentalists. The book’s 22 chapters cover a huge range of subjects relevant to the field. These include pathways of biological invasions (e.g. ballast water, waterways), traits of successful invaders (e.g. chemical weapons, empty niches), and patterns of invasion and invasibility, such as man-induced predisposition by fire, land use and eutrophication, and the role of climate change.

Bacterial secretion systems : Methods and protocols

Cover techniques used to study secretion systems. Chapters focus on identifying and localizing the different subunits, defining interactions within subunits, monitoring conformational changes, purifying and imaging of large complexes, defining the assembly pathway by fluorescence microscopy and the role of energy during assembly and/or secretion, identifying secreted effectors as well as using reporters to follow effector transport. Written in the highly

Antarctic ecosystems : Environmental contamination, climate change, and human impact

This volume provides an overview of climate change data, its effects on the structure and functioning of Antarctic ecosystems, and the occurrence and cycling of persistent contaminants. It discusses the unique physico-chemical characteristics of the Antarctic environment, ecophysiological adaptations of terrestrial and marine organisms, the transfer of contaminants in pelagic and neritic food chains and the possible consequences for animals at higher trophic levels.

Algorithmes dapproximation

Le champ des algorithmes d'approximation est aujourd'hui l'un des domaines de recherche les plus actifs en informatique. Il allie la profondeur de la théorie mathématique aux promesses d'applications pratiques d'un intérêt considérable. La plupart des problèmes issus d'applications relevant de domaines aussi différents que la conception de circuits VLSI, la conception et la planification de réseaux, l'ordonnancement, la théorie des jeux, la biologie ou la théorie des nombres, sont des problèmes NP-difficiles. Leur résolution exacte demanderait des ressources informatiques inaccessibles et ne peut donc être envisagée. Pour faire face à cette situation, un grand nombre d'algorithmes proposant des solutions approchées à ces problèmes ont été développés.

Bioactive Materials in Dentistry : Remineralization and Biomineralization

Addresses the use of different bioactive materials in dentistry, considering the performance of these biomaterials in the hard tissues of the tooth, and the response of the dental pulp, as well as the influence of the composition of these materials and of the individual’s systemic alterations in bioactivity and in antimicrobial activity. The several in vivo and in vitro tests to evaluate the bioactivity of a biomaterial will also be addressed.

Marine Geochemistry

Since 1980 a considerable amount of scientific research dealing with geochemical processes in marine sediments has been carried out. This textbook summarizes the state of the art in this field of research. The topics comprise the examination of sedimentological and physical properties of the sedimentary solid phase, of pore water and pore water constituents, organic matter as the driving force of most microbiological processes, biotic and abiotic redox reactions, carbonates and stable isotopes as proxies for paleoclimate reconstruction, metal enrichments in ferromanganese nodules and crusts as well as in hot vents and cold seeps on the seafloor. A new chapter describes properties, occurrence and formation of gas hydrates in marine sediments. The textbook ends with a chapter on model conceptions and computer models to quantify processes of early diagenesis.
