The Handbook of Macroalgae: Biotechnology and Applied Phycology describes the biological, biotechnological and the industrial applications of seaweeds. Vast research into the cultivation of seaweeds is currently being undertaken but there is a lack of methodological strategies in place to develop novel drugs from these sources. This book aims to rectify this situation, providing an important review of recent advances and potential new applicatio ...
1964 wurden Feodor Lynen und Konrad Bloch mit dem Nobelpreis fur Physiologie oder Medizin ausgezeichnet. Seit Feodor Lynens Todesjahr 1979 erhalten jahrlich bis zu 150 Nachwuchswissenschaftler ein Feodor-Lynen-Stipendium fur Forschung im Ausland von der Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung (AvH)und seit 1982 gibt es die Feodor Lynen Lecture fur die erfolgreichsten Biochemiker der Welt. Heike Will verfasste nun die erste Biographie in engem Austausch ...
While the other works in the «Erlebnis Wissenschaft» series have concentrated on chemical substances in everyday life, this book brings to life a passionately debated physical phenomenon that has equally become an integral part of our lives – so-called electrosmog. The term itself is misleading from the start, such that an objective scientific treatment is urgently needed. The author is one of Europe's leading experts in the field. ...
Jetzt als Sonderausgabe! Kennen Sie den Mogelfaktor? Gibt es diesen etwa auch in der hehren Forschung? Ja, und er perfektionierte beispielsweise die Ergebnisse vom ehrenwehrten Sir Isaac Newton. Er kreierte auch Laborbuchnotizen fur den Kardiologen Darsee und transferierte auf magische Weise Bakterienstamme von einem Universitatslabor in das Labor der Firma Genentech. Selbst fiktive Mitarbeiterinnen erschuf der Mogelfaktor, die fur den Zwillings ...
