Abstract

Today´s agriculture faces new and difficult challenges. With modern methods widely applied, it is commonly believed that genetic crop improvement is a key for increasing yields. In spite of the discussion about the safety of genetically modified (GM) crops that is still raging in the European Union where the take-up of the new technology is more limited, the cultivation of GM plants and crops has exploded all over the world. Conceived with the aim of sorting fact from fiction over GM crops, this volume brings together the knowledge of 30 specialists in the field of transgenic plants. It covers the generation and detection of these plants as well as the genetic traits conferred on transgenic plants. In addition, the book looks at a wide variety of crops, ornamental plants and tree species that are subject to genetic modifications, assessing the risks involved in genetic modification as well as the potential economic benefits of the technology in specific cases. The book's structure, with fully cross-referenced chapters, gives readers a quick access to specific topics, whether that is detailed and comprehensive data on particular species of ornamentals, or coverage of the socioeconomic implications of GM technology. With an increasing demand for bioenergy, and the necessary higher yields relying on wider genetic variation, this book supplies all the technical details required to move forward to a new era in agriculture.

Abstract

This richly illustrated book contains 24 scientific articles on plants and molluscs written by 38 colleagues and former students of Wim Kuijper. The majority of these articles deal with one or a few species found on archaeological excavations, from corncockle via Glycymeris shells to forget-me-nots. A member of staff of the Faculty of Archaeology at Leiden University for 40 years, Wim has supervised students and advised colleagues in the fields of plant and mollusc remains with great enthusiasm and success. They are very grateful for this help and this compilation is the result. The book conta

Abstract

Certains systèmes agroalimentaires localisés (Syal) semblent tout à la fois constituer une réponse à la vague de mondialisation et ouvrir des pistes pour affronter les enjeux d'un développement (plus) durable. Ils participent en effet à une dynamique socio-économique locale, valorisent des ressources naturelles tout en les préservant, ou offrent des produits ayant une forte « densité culturelle ». Mais d'où les Syal tiennent-ils ces propriétés ? Vaste question que cet ouvrage explore sous l'angle original des relations entre le changement technique et l'ancrage territorial des activités productives.De la mise en valeur de la race bovine d'Aubrac dans les années 1960 jusqu'au questionnement des modèles techniques de production de légumes dans les Pyrénées-Orientales, en passant par la relance du safran dans le Quercy, la qualification des fromages corses ou du fromage de Cotija des rancheros mexicains, les auteurs analysent de multiples expériences qui dessinent les voies de futurs possibles. Cet ouvrage s'adresse à un public de chercheurs et d'enseignants aussi bien que de responsables politiques ou associatifs, d'animateurs territoriaux et de praticiens du développement.

Abstract

Définition des exigences qualitatives auxquelles doivent répondre les nouveaux produits de construction et des classes d'aspect pour les lames rabotées et le bois de structure. L'ouvrage offre non seulement un aperçu de la diversité du bois et des matériaux dérivés, mais également une assise sûre pour la spécification du bois et des panneaux à base de bois avec leur classe de qualité respective.--[Memento]

Abstract

Structures which are conceived rationally have an order and logic which do not always fit into real world conditions of the irrational and the unpredictable in architecture. But what if structural ideas were explored as a condition in architecture which challenged the predictable? What if structure were not bound by its rational ethos but instead conceived in alternative approaches relevant to real-world irrationalities? And if the approaches lead to what is possible, then is structural eccentricity a norm or an anomaly in architecture? This book documents a series of design investigations that engage with conditions of shape, change and mutation, giving rise to design propositions dealing with eccentricity in structure. With illustrations and accompanying descriptions of the design process, this book is a useful reference for structural strategies in architecture. Joseph Lim is also the author of Bio-structural Analogues in Architecture. He is with the Department of Architecture, University of Singapore and has a special interest in prototypical structures that challenge the norm in spatial conception.

Abstract

"J'ai toujours pensé que la matérialisation de l'architecture n'a pas lieu au moment où elle se dessine, mais au moment où elle se construit. Sinon, elle n'a pas de sens. L'architecture vernaculaire, née sur place, façonnée par les contraintes, est par définition plus contextuelle. Sa force, en même temps que sa fragilité, vient du fait qu'elle se situe dans la permanence et non dans l'événement", Patrick Bouchain.

Abstract

While the utilization of microarrays for gene expression studies has been widely published, Microarray Methods for Drug Discovery describes the use of this technology for a multitude of other vital applications. Covering the field of drug discovery through its various aspects, including high throughput screening, target identification, drug metabolism and toxicity screening as well as clinical sample handling, this volume also addresses new emerging fields like miRNA profiling, ribonomic and glycomic profiling. All chapters, contributed by experts in the field, follow the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology™ series format, which is comprised of brief introductions, lists of required materials and reagents, readily reproducible, step-by-step lab protocols, along with detailed tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls, making this book an easy read for investigators at all levels of expertise. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Microarray Methods for Drug Discovery provides an ideal desk reference for scientists who wish to use microarray technology in order to better understand a variety of biological interactions in their respective fields.
