Red Butterfly is a beautiful collection of inspiring poetry that paints a clear portrait of old and new aspects of the black experience. This is not just a collection of poetry but a deep journey into the mind of an individual that has been on the same "trip" that you have. Exploring a wide variety of interesting topics from love and heartache to spiritual enlightenment, Red Butterfly has something special for each reader. Social issues, both ...

Ecology is the study of the interrelationships between organisms and their environment, including the biotic and abiotic components. There are at least six kinds of ecology: ecosystem, physiological, behavioural, population, and community, specific topics include: Acid Deposition, Acid Rain Revisited, Biodiversity, Biocomplexity, Carbon Sequestration in Soils, Coral Reefs, Ecosystem Services, Environmental Justice, Fire Ecology, Floods, Global...

This volume deals with new topics in the areas of fixed point theory, variational inequality and complementarity problem theory, non-linear ergodic theory, difference, differential and integral equations, control and optimisation theory, dynamic system theory, inequality theory, stochastic analysis and probability theory, and their applications.

Smoking is a greater cause of death and disability than any single disease, says the World Health Organisation. According to their figures, it is responsible for approximately five million deaths world-wide every year. Tobacco smoking is a known or probable cause of approximately 25 diseases including cancer, heart attacks and strokes. The WHO says that its impact on world health is still not fully assessed. This book offers leading edge resea...

Tumour markers are molecules occurring in blood or tissue that are associated with cancer, and whose measurement or identification is useful in patient diagnosis or clinical management. This book analyses potential signals of cancerous tumours, otherwise known as markers or indicators. This includes, direct and rapid determination of cancer antigen, potential tumour markers for cholangiocarcinoma, melanoma inhibitory activity, metastatic uveal...

Chemical synapses are specialised junctions through which cells of the nervous system signal to one another and to non-neuronal cells such as muscles or glands. A chemical synapse between a motor neuron and a muscle cell is called a neuromuscular junction. Chemical synapses allow the neurons of the central nervous system to form interconnected neural circuits. They are thus crucial to the biological computations that underlie perception and th...

The environment consists of the surroundings in which an organism operates, including air, water, land, natural resources, flora, fauna, humans and their interrelation. It is this environment which is both so valuable, on the one hand, and so endangered on the other. And it is people which are by and large ruining the environment both for themselves and for all other organisms. This book reviews the latest research in this field which is vital...

Fragile sites common features of human (and also of other mammalian) chromosomes. Chromosomal fragile sites are non-randomly distributed loci that are especially prone to forming gaps, breaks or tri-radial figures in metaphase chromosomes when cells are cultured under conditions that inhibit DNA replication or repair. This new and important book is divided into 3 parts: 1. An overview about fragile sites on chromosomes, their classification, c...

This book describes trends in resources used in and affected by agricultural production (including natural, produced, and management resources), as well as the economic conditions and policies that influence agricultural resource use and its environmental impacts. Each chapter provides a concise overview of a specific topic with links to sources of additional information.

Apoptosis is the regulated form of cell death. It is a complex process defined by a set of characteristic morphological and biochemical features that involves the active participation of affected cells in a self-destruction cascade. This programmed cell death plays a critical role in physiological functions such as cell deletion during embryonic development, balancing cell number in continuously renewing tissues and immune system development. ...

This book reveals the necessary steps required by researchers from both developing and industrialised areas to conduct biomedical research in resource poor communities. This book goes beyond the ethical consideration and concentrates on issues considered minor by many researchers during planning of their research conduct. The communities considered are diverse both culturally and geographically. The communities are exposed by the authors with ...

On the surface, parenting seems pretty simple: a parent has to follow the path of his or her parents which produced such a wonderful gift to mankind as himself or herself. As soon as this path fails, they turn to the Internet or to the myriad shelves of books devoted to parenting in book shops. As soon as that fails, their hair turns prematurely silver or falls out, they go into mid-life crises and generally blame the lack of desired result on...

This book presents recent research in chemical and biochemical physics. Chemical physics addresses a large range of problems. An effective chemical physicist is a "jack-of-all-trades", able to apply the principles and techniques of the field to everything from high-tech materials to biology. Just as the fields of chemistry and physics have expanded, so have chemical physics subject areas, which include polymers, materials, surfaces/interfaces,...

This book on solid state chemistry presents studies of chemical, structural, thermodynamic, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties and processes in solids. Research areas include: bonding in solids, crystal chemistry, crystal growth mechanisms, diffusion epitaxy, high-pressure processes, magnetic properties of materials, optical characterisation of materials, order-disorder, phase equilibria and transformation mechanisms, reactions at su...
