Tilapia is the second-most cultured fish species in the world, and its production is increasing each year. However, for several reasons profit margins remain slim. Tilapia: Biology, Culture, and Nutrition presents respected

The Science Studies Reader is a landmark anthology of writing in the burgeoning new field of science studies. Society and the scientific community are today engaging more thoughtfully than ever before the

Forty scientists working in 13 different countries detail in this work the most recent advances in seismic design and performance assessment of reinforced concrete buildings. It is a valuable contribution in the

This is an accessible introduction to the philosophy of social research which relates philosophical ideas to actual research practice. The book makes effective use of illustrations from the UK, US and Europe

A survey and analysis of major old industrial regions - the Ruhr, South Wales, the Great Lakes and Ontario - in terms of their economic regeneration and their re-emergence as centres of

This title provides a critical overview of the whole range of low molecular weight fluorescent probes, outside the catalogue literature. It contains essays on the important aspects of colorants and their uses,

Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS) is a high resolution technique used for analysis of thin samples of material. The technique is used in many modern transmission electron microscopes to characterize materials. This

This volume reviews the growing range of applications of stable isotope techniques for probing and integrating biological processes and geochemical cycles. The interdisciplinary scope of the book covers a wide range of

Provides in-depth and up-to-date coverage of 30 key topics in molecular biology. Topics covered include: protein structure; nucleic acids; gene manipulation; DNA replication; and RNA processing and RNPs.

This title, the 52nd in symposium series, presents a comprehensive review of apoptosis and features contributions from many internationally recognised authors. The book is the first to integrate programmed cell death in

This text looks at the physical and chemical properties of particulate matter, including the use of various microscopic techniques. It then describes the effects that these particles have on the biology and

Research into the control of cell proliferation and cancer has focused on growth factors, cell cycle effectors and oncogenes, and how these are responsible for the development of cancer. This book puts

This volume provides a source of critically evaluated water-quality data concerning the effects of chromium, nickel, aluminium and nitrite on freshwater fish and includes an assessment of the toxicity of mixtures. Commissioned

A collection of conference proceedings which discusses materials in different states of order and the mechanisms involved in the evolution of order. The text also explores microstructural changes that occur by diffusional

A publication of the French Society of Microscopies, this book is devoted to an important aspect of electron diffraction. The description of convergent-beam electron diffraction and of LACBED is preceded by several

These proceedings contain the scientific contributions presented at the 2nd Asian Rock Mechanics Symposium (ISRM 2001 - 2nd ARMS). The theme of the symposium was "Frontiers of Rock Mechanics and Sustainable Development

Covers strata mechanics, numerical methods in geomechanics, water jet cutting and mechanical disintegration of rocks.

In considering the geology of Western Gondwana, this text covers: the Pan-African-Brasiliano cratons; the Pan-African-Brasiliano fold belts; and amosaic of Pan-African-Brasiliano mini-cratons and mino-fold belts.

This text analyzes the structure of fish populations in inland reservoirs, based on absolute values of their mass. The structure of population and its changes have been examined in seven fish species

A study in the development of flow adaptive numerical schemes in computational hydraulics directed to enhancing modelling capabilities. It includes examples such as additional flow resistance due to flexible vegetation; one-dimensional supercritical
