Microbial Diversity: Current Perspectives and Potential Applications is woven around the recent global perceptions of microbial diversity. Diverse perspectives are discussed in the context of ecosystem dynamics, taking into consideration environments that are rather unique to microorganisms. Considerable focus is placed on the role that microorganisms play in sustainable production systems. The microbe-plant interaction dynamic is highlighted in the discussion of mycorrhizal partners, on which depends not only the plant community structure but also abatement of abiotic and biotic stresses. Another mutualist, rhizobia, gets its due coverage whereas the plant disease component carries examples...

Over the past decades, the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cardiovascular diseases have been benefited significantly from intensive research activities. In order to provide a comprehensive “manual” in a field that has become as broad and deep as cardiovascular medicine, this volume of “Methods in Molecular Medicine” covers a wide spectrum of in vivo and in vitro techniques encompassing biochemical, pharmacological and molecular biology disciplines which are currently used to assess vascular disease progression. Each chapter included in this volume focuses on a specific vascular biology technique and describes various applications as well as caveats of these techniques. The protocols included here are described in detail, allowing beginners with little experience in the field of vascular biology to embark on new research projects.
This book, a compilation of 21 chapters, includes research findings and review articles contributed by scientists and researchers in different areas of microbiology. It contains review articles on bacterial pheromones, biosensors, various microbial enzymes, industrial biocatalysis, chaperones and proteases, present scenario of tuberculosis, diagnostic techniques for indoor dust enumeration including the human papilloma virus. In a nutshell, it contains useful information about the current hot spots of microbiology, enlisting the latest techniques. For all those involved in the pursuit of microbial ecology, medical microbiology, industrial microbiology, environmental microbiology and microbial physiology, this volume will prove to be immensely useful and stimulating.
In recent times, the subject of consciousness has emerged as an important paradigm of scientific investigation and research despite most of its concerns having roots in philosophy, religion and occultism. What is consciousness? What is the substance of consciousness? Is it material or immaterial, mortal or immortal? How is it connected with a body? Has it a particular seat in any particular body as the brain does? Is consciousness synonymous with mind? Is it eternal and non-local? These questions have interested thinkers for many centuries. It is the object of this book to demonstrate, through a series of cases reported across the world at various times relating to many curious mind-related ...
The story of family therapy is usually told in a particular way. The subject is families, but the point of view is the therapist's. This perspective allows us to narrow our focus to essential dynamics - complementarity, triangles, cross-generational coalitions - and to emphasize therapeutic techniques. Face to face with a family in pain, it can be hard to see past their griefs and complaints to the underlying dynamics. So if therapists sometimes reduce the complexities of human relationships to categories they can deal with, they do so for a good reasons. But, inevitably, something is lost. [This book] brings you into the consulting room to see for yourself what goes on. Many cases are described, but the emphasis is on the details of one family's therapy. This story also takes you deep into the experience of the family in treatment.
