Applications of Molecular Biology in Environmental Chemistry

Book Description

During this century we have experienced a shift in the leading causes of death from infectious diseases, such as pneumonia and influenza, to chronic diseases, such as heart disease and cancer. Whereas infectious diseases are often related to a single infectious agent, chronic diseases are often related to a combination of environmental (including occupational) chemical exposures and genetic factors. This valuable reference helps the reader to identify these chemical pollutants in environmental matrices such as air, water, food, and soil. It provides improved analytical methods to measure the pollutant, its metabolites, and its various possible adducts in humans. This book presents the latest work designed to assess potential exposure (environmental concentration and activity of pollutants), dose to humans, and a molecular basis for some of the affected biological mechanisms.

Book Description

Molecular biological techniques such as DNA/RNA extraction and purification, and especially the polymerase chain reaction, PCR, are rapidly gaining interest also in related fields, such as microbiology or environmental sciences. They offer new approaches and opportunities for the determination of microbial cells, DNA and RNA from soils, roots, rhizospheres, sediments and aquatic environments. Detailed protocols for these applications are described in this manual.

Book Description

Since its introduction in 1971, the development and application of colloidal gold as a marker in electron microscopy has been phenomenal. This state-of-the art, multi-volume treatise provides researchers, technicians, teachers, and students with the most comprehensive coverage of the principles and methodology of colloidal gold microscopy available today.
Colloidal gold allows high and low resolution studies, enzyme and nucleic acid labeling, study of dynamic cellular processes, and virus detection.
This third volume completes Hayat's coverage of the principles and methodology of colloidal gold in microscopy. The three-volume set should become the standard reference in the field.

Key Features
* Among the first books to cover principles and methodology of colloidal gold in microscopy
* Describes methods step by step to enable researchers to learn these complex procedures solely by reference to the book
* Discusses problems and limitations of techniques
* Guides users to avoid problems and choose the correct procedures for specific applications
* Contributors are eminent authorities in their fields
Topics covered in Volume 3 include:
* Production of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies
* Lowicryl, polar, and apolar resins
* Preserving and localizing antigenicity; sectioning; high-resolution morphological localization
* Diaminobenzidine-colloidal gold; microinjection of colloidal gold; double labeling with backscattered electrons; microwave irradiation
* Applications to biomedical studies
* Colloidal gold in conjunction with video-enhanced microscopy

Book Description

In three Chinese folk tales, an old woman, a young boy and a wild spirit are all bound by a passion to create, changing the world around them forever. In The Silk Tapestry, an impoverished elderly woman's only hope against a life of hardship lies in the completion of a magical tapestry. It is said to be the key to a paradise. Already living in squalor, how much more of herself is she willing sacrifice to see her dream come to fruition? In Sausage-Boy and his Magic Brush, a young boy's remarkable talent for paintings that come to life attracts a greedy woman. In The Creation Myth of Pan Gu a lonely but wild spirit sculpts the Earth from a cosmic egg in hopes it brings others like him to keep him company.

Highly Religious Content.......2004-02-10

The book is a surprise read- I thought it was a romance book, and to some extent, it is. There are four separate stories that take place in China at different times (18th - 21st centuries). In each story, the heroine must overcome some problem (marriage/family/love) using Christian principles. Kind of a "what would Jesus do?" book.

The stories are uplifting to Christians. Perhaps meant to explain Christianity and it's rules for those who aren't. It definitely seemed to be directed to prospective converts.

The synopsis on the back of the book did not give any information as to it's contents.

Both history and inspiration.......1999-03-09

As a gardener and an embroidery fan, I was literally fascinated by this book. I made a learning "leap" concerning the use of embroidered items in the household and the long cold winters in England. I also had a better understanding of the design of gardens and the use of them as out door "rooms" when the weather was mild. Embroidry was not only a pastime, it was necessary if you wanted decorations to cheer up and warm up the old stone castle. This book sent me off on several new projects for my own home.
