Astrobiology: The Quest for the Conditions of Life

Astrobiology: The Quest for the Conditions of Life by Gerda Horneck, Christa Baumstark-Khan
English | PDF | 2002 | 415 Pages | ISBN : 3642639577 | 57.6 MB

How did life originate in the universe? How did it all start after the creation of matter and the formation of elements in the stars? What are the pathways from the first organic molecules in space to the evolution of complex life forms on Earth and perhaps elsewhere? And how will it all end? The Universe itself sets the stage for the very interdisciplinary field of astrobiology that attempts to answer such questions, the central one being: What is the (cosmic) recipe for life? Currently there are only very few known elements in this vast mosaic. This book bridges a gap in the literature by bringing together leading specialists from different backgrounds who lecture on their fields, with close relevance to astrobiology, providing tutorial accounts that lead all the way to the forefront of research. The book will thus be useful for students, lecturers and reseachers alike.

Riverine Ecology Volume 2: Biodiversity Conservation, Conflicts and Resolution

Riverine Ecology Volume 2: Biodiversity Conservation, Conflicts and Resolution by Susanta Kumar Chakraborty
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2021 | 953 Pages | ISBN : 3030539407 | 86.4 MB

This book is part of a two-volume set that offers an innovative approach towards developing methods and tools for assigning conservation categories of threatened taxa and their conservation strategies by way of different phases of eco-restoration in the context of freshwater river systems of tropical bio-geographic zones. The set provides a considerable volume of research on the biodiversity component of river ecosystems, seasonal dynamics of physical chemical parameters, geo-hydrological properties, types, sources and modes of action of different types of pollution, river restoration strategies and methodologies for the ongoing ecological changes of river ecosystems.

Micrometeorites and the Mysteries of Our Origins

Micrometeorites and the Mysteries of Our Origins by Michel Maurette
English | PDF (True) | 2006 | 333 Pages | ISBN : 3540258167 | 23.7 MB

Micrometeorites played an essential role in the formation of the atmosphere of the Early Earth and also served as a significant source of activation for organic prebiotic chemistry on mineral surfaces. The present book gives a coherent account of this scenario, embedding the more specific results within a broader framework that considers the creation and evolution of the Early Earth. It thus addresses students and nonspecialist researchers in the fields of planetary atmospheres, biogeophysics and astrobiology. The experienced researcher will find this volume to be a modern and compact reference, as well as a source of material for lectures in this field.

Protocol for Somatic Embryogenesis in Woody Plants

Protocol for Somatic Embryogenesis in Woody Plants by S. Mohan Jain, Pramod K. Gupta
English | PDF | 2005 | 580 Pages | ISBN : 1402029845 | 19.8 MB

World population is increasing at an alarming rate and this has resulted in increasing tremendously the demand for tree products such as wood for construction materials, fuel and paper, fruits, oils and medicines etc. This has put immense pressure on the world’s supplies of trees and raw material to industry and will continue to do so as long as human population continues to grow. Also, the quality of human diet, especially nutritional components, is adversely affected due to limited genetic improvement of most of fruit trees.

Life in the Universe: Expectations and Constraints

Life in the Universe: Expectations and Constraints by Dirk Schulze-Makuch, Louis N. Irwin
English | PDF(True) | 2008 | 260 Pages | ISBN : 3540768165 | 7.6 MB

Energy, chemistry, solvents, and habitats – the basic elements of living systems - define the opportunities and limitations for life on other worlds. This class-tested text examines each of these parameters in crucial depth and makes the argument that life forms we would recognize may be more common in our solar system than many assume. It also considers, however, exotic forms of life that would not have to rely on carbon as basic chemical element, solar energy as a main energy source, or water as primary solvent. Finally the question of detecting bio- and geosignature of such life forms is discussed, ranging from Earth environments to deep space.

Cellular Aspects of Wood Formation by Jörg Fromm
English | PDF | 2013 | 264 Pages | ISBN : 364236490X | 6.3 MB

With today’s ever growing economic and ecological problems, wood as a raw material takes on increasing significance as the most important renewable source of energy and as industrial feedstock for numerous products. Its chemical and anatomical structure and the excellent properties that result allow wood to be processed into the most diverse products; from logs to furniture and veneers, and from wood chippings to wooden composites and paper.
