Biosciences : Current Aspects and Prospects Into the
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Pasternak, Charles A., PUBLISHER: World Scientific Publishing Company, As the new millennium approaches, it is appropriate to ask how far medicine and the life sciences have brought us, and to wonder how specific fields will develop over the next decade or so. This volume gathers together a number of leading scientists to give a bird's eye view of their field. Much of the emphasis is on cancer, microbial infections and immunology, because these are some of the most rapidly advancing areas of research. However, the book is wide-ranging and interdisciplinary, and covers topics as diverse as reproductive health technology, animal-to-human transplants, drug resistance, non-invasive diagnosis by magnetic resonance, novel membrane technology, and carbon nanotubes. The graduate student faced with a decision regarding his or her future topic of research could do worse than browse through this collection of articles by experts in the field.
Exquisite Specificity: The Monoclonal Antibody Revolution
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cambrosio, Keating / Cambrosio, Alberto / Keating, Peter, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, In Cesar Milstein and Georges Kohler were awarded the Nobel Prize for their discovery of "hybridoma technology," a method leading to the production of unlimited quantities of biological reagents of "exquisite specificity" known as monoclonal antibodies. Focusing on this ground-breaking development in the recent history of the biomedical sciences, this volume offers a description of scientific activity that delineates the development of scientific knowledge. Based on an extensive reading of the literature in the field, interviews with leading participants and on-site observation, the book follows events, materials and actors through a twenty-year period during which a laboratory technique was transformed into one of the most successful tools of modern biotechnology. Beginning with an analysis of the amiguities surrounding the initial status of monoclonal antibodies, the book goes on to explore the various practices and forms of knowledge involved in the reproduction of hybridoma technology. The analysis of the worldwide diffusion of monoclonal antibodies and their consequent transformatin by users is complemented with a close-up account of their adoption within two laboratories. The book ends with a detailed analysis of the patent disputes that have shaped the industrial destiny of monoclonal antibodies. Acquista Ora

Technology and Society: A Canadian Perspective, Second
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Goyder, John, PUBLISHER: University of Toronto Press, Since the publication of the first edition of "Technology and Society: A Canadian Perspective "in , awareness of the pervasive effects of new and emerging technologies on our lives is, if anything, even more pronounced. New and emerging technologies in everything from health care to communication and the Internet hold enormous promise. However, the more ominous consequences of technology are also very much with us?from environmental degradation to uncertainty in the workplace in a post "dot.com" economy to terrorism and warfare. "Technology and Society, "second edition, continues the rich tradition of Canadian writing on technology found in the work of Harold Innis, Marshall McLuhan, George Grant, Ursula Franklin, and others. Like the first edition, the book begins and ends with an attempt to understand Grant's insistence that technology is a "fate," connected, in the anthropological sense, with the evolution of societies. In between, the book examines the social and historical foundation for the development and diffusion of technology in the Canadian context. The first three chapters define the phenomenon of technology by classifying the vast array of tools and techniques. They offer a conceptual scheme for understanding the interrelationship between society and technology and for the diffusion of technologies. Subsequent chapters shift to looking at the consequences of technology. The linkage between technology and economic development is explored, as is the significance of a technocratic value system. The relationship between work and technology?the significance of "automation," of a "branch plant" economy, "R&D," and communication?is examined. The final chapters consider new leading technologies such as artificial intelligence and biotechnology, as well as public attitudes towards technology.
Preamplificatore Technics SU-A 40
Preamplificatore Technics SU-A40, Oggetto dalle grandi caratteristiche Soniche, Cablato con cavi di segnale OCC / OFC, Determinando prestazioni eccellenti. Description preamp features Class AA phono EQ and output circuitry, high speed EX capacitors, and an Active Servo Power Supply. It connects directly to the fixed input facilities of the SE-M100. LPs benefit from amplification by the SU-A40. Its phono EQ amp features Class AA construction for voltage amplification, reducing influence from RIAA network impedance fluctuations. Low-noise FETs and high slew rate circuitry provide a signal-to-noise ratio of 79dB for MM and 74dB for MC cartridges, while dropping distortion to % (MM, 20Hz to 20kHz). The Class AA output amp helps avoid distortion caused by the input impedance of the connected power amp and the connection cord. The result is a step up in excellence for all sources, digital and analogue. An electrolytic capacitor has two electrodes separated by an electrolyte. In a conventional capacitor additives are needed to prevent the electrolyte from corroding the oxide coating that protects the positive electrode (anode). But these additives also cause distortion. Now, biotechnology creates an electrolyte that is purer; allowing a more uniform oxide layer without sound muddying additives. These capacitors help bring out the full potential of Class AA amplification. Noise and voltage stability are particularly important considerations in a preamp's power supply because of the low-level signals being handled. The SU-A40 uses a feedback circuit comprised of a special stabilized voltage IC with excellent thermal characteristics and a wide band IC with outstanding high frequency characteristics. The SU-A40 is designed for high signal purity. The OCC/OFC wires contribute to outstanding performance in every section of the circuitry - from parts leads to i
