Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (AM) is the most common mycorrhizal type involvedin agricultural systems, and the most widespread plant root symbiosis.The fungi involved (Glomales) are known to promote plant growth andhealth by acting as biofertilizers, bioprotectors and bioregulators. Themain aim of this book is to provide readers with theoretical and appliedknowledge essential for the use of AM fungi in improving plant healthand fitness, production of high quality food and in conservation ofnatural resources. The different chapters target understanding the roleof AM fungi in sustainable crop production, discussing ways to improvebiological equilibria between microorganisms in the mycorrhizosphereanalysing genetic, physiological, cellular and molecular bases of AMfunctioning and establishing technologies for inoculum productionaccording to the regulatory guidelines for application.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 316 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This is the second volume in a series of innovative proceedings entirely devoted to the connections between mathematics and computer science. Here mathematics and computer science are directly confronted and joined to tackle intricate problems in computer science with deep and innovative mathematical approaches. The book serves as an outstanding tool and a main information source for a large public in applied mathematics, discrete mathematics and computer science, including researchers, teachers, graduate students and engineers. It provides an overview of the current questions in computer science and the related modern and powerful mathematical methods. The range of applications is very wide and reaches beyond computer science. 543 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Modern analytical biotechnology is focused on the use of a set of enabling platform technologies that provide contemporary, state-of-the-art tools for genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, drug discovery, screening, and analysis of natural product molecules. Thus, analytical biotechnology covers all areas of bioanalysis from biochips and nano-chemistry to biology and high throughput screening. Moreover, it aims to apply advanced automation and micro fabrica tion technology to the development of robotic and fluidic devices as well as integrated systems. This book focuses on enhancement technology development by promoting cross-disciplinary approaches directed toward solving key problems in biology and medicine. The scope thus brings under one umbrella many different techniques in allied areas. The purpose is to support and teach the fundamental principles and practical uses of major instrumental techniques. Major platforms are the use of immobilized molecules in biotechnology and bioanalysis, im munological techniques, immunological strip tests, fluorescence detection and confocal techniques, optical and electrochemical biosensors, biochips, micro dotting, novel transducers such as nano clusters, atomic force microscopy based techniques and analysis in complex media such as fermentation broth, plasma and serum. Techniques related to HPLC, capillary electrophoresis, gel electrophoresis, and mass spectrometry have not been included in this book but will be covered by further publications. Fundamentals in analytical biotechnology include basic and practical aspects of characterizing and analyzing DNA, proteins, and small metabolites. 331 pp. Englisch.
