Book Description

Now available from Waveland Press, this comprehensive, geographically balanced manual offers readers complete hands-on coverage of morphology, identification, and classification, physiological adaptations, and natural history. The book's taxonomic and geographic coverage is impressively broad as well, applying to a variety of fishes and areas: jawless, cartilaginous, and bony, fresh- and saltwater, temperate and tropical, and inshore and offshore. Helpful discussions and explanations introduce the guidebook's collection of well-designed exercises, making the connections between principles and specific inquiries easier to formulate. This approach works to help readers transform memorized facts into concepts that stimulate further explorations.

Book Description

The zebrafish has become one of the most important model organisms to study biologial processes in vivo. As a vertebrate that has many of the strengths of invertebrate model systems, it offers numerous advantages to researchers interested in many aspects of embryonic development, physiology and disease. The next few years will see the completion of large scale initiatives that exploit the zebrafish as a model system for the understanding of gene function in vertebrates, including the sequencing of the genome. The zebrafish will therefore play an increasingly important role in the future of biomedical research. Whole genome sequencing projects, such as the human genome project, have led to the isolation of tens of thousands of genes for which the in vivo function is unknown. It is therefore likely that an increasing number of researchers will turn to organisms such as the zebrafish to understand the in vivo requirement for the proteins these genes encode. Recent technical advances now allow the rapid testing of in vivo function of as yet uncharacterised genes in zebrafish in large numbers and at a speed that is impossible in other systems. This book not only provides a complete set of instructions that will allow researchers to establish the zebrafish in their laboratory. It also gives a broad overview of commonly used methods and a comprehensive collection of protocols describing the most powerful techniques.

Book Description

This convenient laboratory manual covers the theory and application of all the commonly used FISH procedures for both the research and clinical service laboratory. Readers are provided with the theoretical principles which underlie each procedure, and are then guided through the protocols in a systematic, easy to follow manner. Because FISH procedures are particularly sensitive to background and subtle variations in sample quality, the trouble-shooting sections are invaluable to the beginner interested in developing FISH capabilities in their laboratory. Areas covered include probe production and labelling; FISH gene mapping; murine, fiber, and RNA FISH; CGH and microchips; 3D FISH; SKY and M-FISH; FISH and microarrays; and FISH in clinical cytogenetics. The information is easy to follow and includes a large number of useful reference web sites in addition to a comprehensive and up to date bibliography providing background to all the advanced molecular cytogenetics The information is easy to follow and includes a large number of useful reference web sites in addition to a comprehensive and up to date bibliography providing background to all the advanced molecular cytogenetics techniques in current use. This book will be of particular value to scientists, technologists, and students in the areas of molecular pathology, cancer biology, genomics, haematology, oncology, clinical cytogenetics, molecular diagnostics and genetics.

Book Description

This series of complete and compact laboratory manuals leads students through every stage of the dissection process for rats, rabbits, frogs, and dogfish. Each of the manuals, corresponding to specimens most often used in high-school and undergraduate courses in general biology, zoology, physiology, and comparitive anatomy, guides the student through a complete dissection with easy-to-follow directions and accurate, clearly labeled illustrations. Anatomical structures appear in the sequence encountered during an actual dissection: First the external anatomy, then the skeletal, muscular, digestive, respiratory, circulatory, urogenital, and nervous systems.

155-MM Howitzer Malfunction Investigation: A Laboratory Study of the Igniter Train Operation

Manufacturer: Storming Media

ASIN: 1423552857

Product Description

This is a ARMY RESEARCH LAB ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND MD report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A637073. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: On 20 December 1974, two hangfires occurred in a developmental 155-mm howitzer at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), MD. The second hangfire was accompanied by a rupturing of the howitzer breech. As a result of this, a laboratory study was initiated to uncover possible causes leading to the malfunction. The study involved testing of various components of the igniter train singly and in various combinations under a variety of environmental conditions. The sequence of events leading to the hangfires was as follows: the primer ignited the base pad, which did not ignite the propellant nor the black powder containing central core "snake". The NC tube ignited to a fizz burn after a period of seconds and eventually ignited the propellant that caused the hangfires. The ignition occurred in a localized region near the breech, leading to the pressure waves of extreme magnitude. Subsequent high pressures that ruptured the breech may have come about because of propellant grain fracture due to pressure wave induced acceleration against the projectile. The difference between the apparently reliable operation of the XM123E2 interim propellant charge and the charge (XM203E1) used in the hangfires and in this study was due to the change in igniter train cloths. This was confirmed by post-firing analysis of cloth residues, visual differences in cloth density, and full-scale blowout cannon results.

Book Description

As Japan evolves in a leader contender in the biotechnology field, it has become essential for U.S. companies to keep abreast of the industry in that country. This directory was designed to help U.S. biotechnology companies become more familiar with their Japanese counterparts. The book
provides a detailed analysis of the core companies, offering a valuable information that would be too costly and time-consuming to gather otherwise. It includes company histories and biotechnology strategies, personnel, financial data, research and development projects, products, joint ventures and
affiliations, recent patents, and more. Far more than a simple directory, the guide provides a detailed analysis of what is happening in Japanese biotechnology today. It is a direct translation from the original edition compiled in Tokyo by the publishers of Nikkei Biotechnology, the most
influential newsletter covering the field in Japan.
