The second edition of this book contains new sections and an expanded chapter on
substrate, specifies methods, standards and terminology for the description sites in the field. …

Over time scales of thousands to millions of years, and in the absence of rejuvenating
disturbances that initiate primary or early secondary succession, ecosystem properties such as net …

This book was conceived over dinner at the Cooloola Dunes near Brisbane, Australia, as
we pondered how to reconcile 700,000 years of soil development with typical successional …

Background Clopidogrel requires transformation into an active metabolite by cytochrome P-450
(CYP) enzymes for its antiplatelet effect. The genes encoding CYP enzymes are …

Classical field theory studies interaction at a distance. In this study, interactions among
neighboring plants located at a distance from each other have been simulated using an approach …

Nanotechnology, the engineering and art of manipulating matter at the nanoscale (1–100
nm), offers the potential of novel nanomaterials for treatment of surface water, groundwater, …

Background Clopidogrel and prasugrel are subject to efflux via P-glycoprotein (encoded by
ABCB1, also known as MDR1). ABCB1 polymorphisms, particularly 3435C→T, may affect …

Background— Both clopidogrel and prasugrel require biotransformation to active metabolites
by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes. Among persons treated with clopidogrel, carriers of …

The vacuole/lysosome serves an important recycling function during starvation and
senescence in eukaryotes via a process called autophagy. Here bulk cytosolic constituents and …

Smallubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) is a member of the superfamily of ubiquitin-like polypeptides
that become covalently attached to various intracellular target proteins as a way to alter …
