This volume presents the proceedings of the First World Congress on Biologically Active Atrial Peptides, held May 31 – June 1, 1986, in New York City. It provides comprehensive coverage of the discovery, molecular structure, biosynthesis, receptors, and intracellular signaling mechanisms of atrial natriuretic peptides. The book also examines their cardiovascular, renal, endocrine, and pathoph…
This book provides an introductory, laboratory‑oriented overview of molecular biological techniques as they were established in the mid‑20th century. It emphasizes the physical and chemical principles underlying experimental work in molecular biology and is intended for students beginning practical laboratory studies. Topics covered include: Experimental calculations Microscopy Spectros…
This book presents key topics in operator theory, focusing on linear operators in Hilbert spaces and related areas of functional analysis. It is designed for graduate students and researchers and serves as part of the Mathematical Surveys series by the American Mathematical Society.
This book provides a comprehensive treatment of classical optimization theory, including both foundational principles and advanced extensions. It covers optimization techniques used in economics, engineering, and operations research, making it suitable for graduate students and researchers.
This book introduces behavioural ecology, explaining how natural selection shapes animal behaviour in ecological and evolutionary contexts.
This book explores the mechanisms of gene action, emphasizing how genes control biochemical processes and influence cellular function.
This book examines the genetic basis of sex differentiation, including chromosomal, hormonal, and developmental influences.
This book introduces the principles of biometrical (quantitative) genetics, focusing on the statistical methods used to analyze inheritance of continuously varying traits.
This book explores the principles of population genetics and their relationship to evolutionary theory, including gene frequencies, selection, mutation, and genetic drift.
