Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Non-destructive technologies have gained popularity in recent years related to the tasks involving characterization and diagnosis of constructions. The application of geomatics in construction engineering arises from the necessity of using real geometry in several phases of the construction and evaluation processes. This book provides an overview and up-to-date synthesis of the previously mentioned techniques to the field of civil engineering and includes topics relating to infrastructure and structures. Literature devoted to theory, basic fundamentals, and applications has been compiled to show the potential of such methods.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book explores fundamental recognition principles between monomers or macromolecules that lead to diverse biological functions. Based on the author's longtime courses, the book helps readers understand the structural aspects of macromolecular recognition and stimulates further research on whether molecules similar to DNA or protein can be synthesized chemically. The author discusses different macromolecular recognitions and covers the energetics of folding of macromolecules. He also provides citations for recent experiments and includes defined chemical structures and well-explained figures.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Dating back to the early Cambrian period, crustaceans had ample time to undertake endless experimentation with form and function. Today, no other group of plants or animals on the planet exhibit the range of morphological diversity seen among extant Crustacea. With more than 52,000 species, they are placed fourth in terms of overall species diversity. This book comprehensively elucidates the reproduction and development of all the taxonomic groups of Crustacea and bridges the gap between conventional zoologists and molecular biologists. Reproductive modes from the point of embryonic stem cells and primordial germ cells is discussed with a special section on cysts.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Circadian rhythms influence most of our life activities, notably getting up and going to sleep every day. The new edition of this book delves into the mechanisms surrounding how these rhythms work, the physiology and biology behind them, and the latest research on this cutting-edge field. The book also discusses a wide variety of practical topics including the prevention of jet lag, management of shift work, sleep disorders, depression, and the optimal times for physical and intellectual activities. It contains summaries, suggestions for further reading, links to pertinent websites, and exercises at the end of each chapter.
