Free Energy CalculationsTheory and Applications in Chemistry and Biology

Free energy constitutes the most important ther-modynamic quantity to understand how chemical species recognize each other, associate or react. Examples of problems in which knowledge of the underlying free energy behaviour is required, in-clude conformational equilibria and molecular as-sociation, partitioning between immiscible liquids, receptor-drug interaction, protein-protein and protein-DNA association, and protein stability.

The Post-Socialist CityUrban Form and Space Transformations in Central and Eastern Europe after Socialism

In the large body of literature produced during the last fifteen years on the transformation of Eastern European societies after the fall of communism, studies investigating changes in urban form and structure have been quite rare. Yet a profound re-organization of the manner in which urban space is appropriated has taken place, impacting the life of over 200 million urban residents in the region.

Congenital Diseases and the EnvironmentIn recent years, increasing attention and resources have been brought to bear on the relation-ship between the environment and congenital diseases. These diseases were previously thought to be mostly due to genetic causes. Even though the importance of genes as factors in causation is accepted, environmental factors seem to be implicated just as strongly. This book explores some further concepts that have arisen from more recent perceptions of environmental effects and their possible interactions with living systems.

Intraspecific Genetic DiversityMonitoring, Conservation, and Management

The unique treatise of Yuri P. Altukhov is based on several decades of research on natural communi-ties, modelling them in experiments and with computer analysis. Essential features of species population structure, such as genetic population subdivision, hierarchical systemic organization, unrandom structure of gene migration, as well as factors and conditions of genetic stability of populations are revealed. Elucidating principles of stabilization of gene pools of agricultural animals and plants, the author discusses a strategy of con-servation and sustainable management of natural gene pool resources.

Lagomorph BiologyEvolution, Ecology, and Conservation

Lagomorphs are a mammalian order which in-cludes rabbits, hares and pikas. They are distribut-ed throughout the world and are of both scientific and public interest as they are classified between endangered and pest species. In addition, some have a high economic value as important game species. In the last few decades, a huge amount of information was made available to the scientific community and resulted in remarkable advances on all aspects of Lagomorph biology. However, this information is dispersed in multiple scientific and non-scientific journals.

Life in Extreme EnvironmentsFrom the deepest seafloor to the highest moun-tain, from the hottest region to the cold Antarctic plateau, environments labeled as extreme are nu-merous on Earth and they present a wide variety of features and characteristics. The life processes occurring within these environments are equally diverse, not only depending on stress factors (e.g. temperature, pressure, pH and chemicals) but also on the type of life forms, ranging from microbes to higher species. How is life limited by and adapted to extreme external biotic and abiotic factors? This key question summarises the deliberations raised by this exciting and fascinating research area.

Ascorbate-Glutathione Pathway and Stress Tolerance in PlantsPlants are sessile organisms that live under a con-stant barrage of biotic and abiotic insults. Both bi-otic and abiotic stress factors have been shown to affect various aspects of plant system including the acceleration in the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The ascorbate (AsA)-glutathione (GSH) pathway is a key part of the network of reactions involving enzymes and metabolites with redox properties for the detoxification of ROS, and thus to avert the ROS-accrued oxidative damage in plants.

Crop Production for Agricultural ImprovementIn the recent years, the looming food scarcity problem has highlighted plant sciences as an emerging discipline committed to devise new strategies for enhanced crop productivity. The major factors causing food scarcity are biotic and abiotic stresses such as plant pathogens, salinity, drought, flooding, nutrient deficiency or toxicity which substantially limit crop productivity world-wide. In this scenario, strategies should be adopted to achieve maximum productivity and economic crop returns.

Modern BiogeochemistryEnvironmental Risk Assessment

At present, quantitative ecological risk assessment is widely used in different contexts, however very often without an understanding of the natural mechanisms that drive the processes of environ-mental and human risk. Its application is often accompanied by high uncertainty about risk values. On the other hand, the sustainability of modern technoecosystems is known because of their natural biogeochemical cycling that has been transformed to various extents by anthropogenic studies.

Biological CalcificationNormal and Pathological Processes in the Early Stages

The topics falling under the heading biological calcification are exceedingly numerous and varied. They include systems as different as vertebrate skeletons and mollusks, in vitro cultures and uni-cellular organisms, ectopic calcification and uri-nary stones. Furthermore, the results are scattered through a huge number of scientific publications. Although calcification is probably one of the most widespread biological processes, the mechanisms which lead to calcification of biological systems are still unexplained.

Selection Methods in Plant BreedingWritten for plant breeders, researchers and post-graduate students, this book provides a compre-hensive review of the methods and underlying theoretical foundations used for selection in plant breeding programmes. The authors review basic elements of population and quantitative genetic theory, and consider in a unique way the tackling of the problems presented by soil heterogeneity and intergenotypic competition when selecting quantitative characters. The efficacy of different methods with regard to developing new variet-ies of crops are discussed for different modes of reproduction. This work provides a sound basis for informed decision making within the process of a selection programme.

Positive Interactions and Interdependence in Plant CommunitiesPositive interactions and interdependence in plant communities offers a new look at an old problem – the nature of the communities. This book marshals ecological literature from the last century on facilitation to make the case against the widely accepted “individualistic” notion of community organization. Clearly, many species in many communities would not be present without the ameliorating effects of other species. In other words, communities are not produced only by summing the population ecology of species.

Sustainable Forest ManagementGrowth Models for Europe

There is a strong movement towards uneven-aged forest management based on the idea that such stands increase or at least maintain soil fertility, increase biodiversity, and improve stand resilience. This shift in forest management practice ren-ders existing yield tables increasingly unreliable. Among potential alternatives are tree growth models, because they predict the growth of each tree within a forest stand. This book summarizes three years of work related to the topic, carried out as a joint effort of leading tree growth modellers across Europe together with forest companies.

Having evolved special mechanisms to overcome the life-endangering influence of low temperatures, psychrophiles, i.e. cold-adapted microorganisms, have successfully colonized these environments. Cold adaptation includes a com-plex range of structural and functional adaptations at the level of all cellular constituents, and these adaptations render cold-adapted organisms par-ticularly useful for biotechnological applications.

Plants and Climate ChangePlants and Climate Change focuses on how climate affects or affected the biosphere and vice versa both in the present and past. The chapters describe how ecosystems from the Antarctic and Arctic and from other latitudes respond to global climate change. The papers highlight plant responses to atmospheric CO2 increase, to global warming and to increased ultraviolet-B radia-tion as a result of stratospheric ozone depletion. Depending on how and how well plant responses to increased temperature, atmospheric CO2 and ultraviolet-B have been preserved in the (sub)-fossil record, past climates and past atmospheric chemistry may be reconstructed.

Free-Radical-Induced DNA Damage and Its RepairA Chemical Perspective

Understanding of the molecular basis of DNA damage and its repair has increased dramatically in recent years, and substantial knowledge now exists concerning the products arising from free-radical attack on DNA. Free-radical DNA damage may lead to mutations, cancer, and cell death. Free radicals have various sources, notably ionizing radiation and oxidative stress. In radiotherapy for cancer and with some anticancer drugs, use is made of cell death by excessive DNA damage.

Cell Division Control in PlantsThe molecular mechanisms controlling cell cycle progression are highly conserved in eukaryotes. In addition to the basic protein machinery involved in cell cycle regulation, higher plants have also evolved unique molecular mechanisms that allow integration of environmental, physiological, and developmental signals into networks to control proper cell division and expansion. Rapid and exciting research progress in these fields has been achieved from experimental observations on plants over the past decade. The scope of this volume is focused on the molecular basis of all aspects of cell division and cytokinesis in plants.

Adaptronics and Smart StructuresBasics, Materials, Design, and Applications

Adaptronic structures and systems can adapt automatically to variable operating and environ-mental conditions through the use of feedback control. But in contrast to conventional control loops, in which each function is fulfilled by a separate component, adaptronics is characterized by multifunctional components that are preferably integrated into the structure or the system. The goal is a lightweight and simple construction for conserving material and energy resources.

Flux Pinning in SuperconductorsThe book deals with the flux pinning mechanisms and properties and the electromagnetic phenom-ena caused by the flux pinning common for metal-lic, high-temperature and MgB2 superconductors. The loss originates from the ohmic dissipation of normal electrons in the normal core driven by the electric field induced by the flux motion. The read-ers will learn why the resultant loss is of hysteresis type in spite of such mechanism. The influence of the flux pinning on the vortex phase diagram in high-temperature superconductors is also dis-cussed and the dependencies of the irreversibility field on various quantities are described.

Heterostructures consist of combinations of differ-ent materials, which are in contact through at least one interface. Magnetic heterostructures combine different physical properties which do not exist in nature. Examples are semiconductors/ferromag-nets, superconductors/ferromagnets, or ferro-magnets/antiferromagnets. These combinations display new physical properties different from any single one of them.
