Elfarra (auth.), Lawrence H. Las (eds.) 2005 | 388 Pages | ISBN: 1588293246 | PDF | 3 MB Remarkable advances in molecular and cell biology and the development of novel in vitro model systems have greatly expanded our knowledge of the processes involved in metabolism and transport and led to numerous new therapeutic approaches. In Drug Metabolism and Transport: Molecular Methods and Mechanisms, well-established investigators describe their best experimental approaches and strategies for studying the bioactivation, detoxification, tissue distribution, and elimination of xenobiotics in the metabolism and/or transport of various chemicals. The authors address several of the major drug metabolizing systems, including the cytochrome P450 family, flavin-containing monooxygenases, glutathione, glucuronidation, N-acetylation, and sulfotransferases. Additional chapters present novel approaches to the study of: signaling pathways in the regulation of drug metabolism enzymes, how the modulation of thiols and other low-molecular-weight cofactors can alter drug metabolism, and how modulation of drug metabolism pathways can influence antiviral therapy. The strategies detailed for transport phenomena cover the multidrug resistance proteins, the reduced folate carrier, the plasma membrane, and mitochondrial glutathione transporters, and can be applied to numerous other transport systems. Many chapters contain step-by-step methods for investigating metabolism and transport. Insightful and broad-ranging, Drug Metabolism and Transport: Molecular Methods and Mechanisms offers novice and experienced investigators alike a highly useful compendium of key strategies and approaches to successful research on drug metabolism and transport pathways. ![]() Free Download Die eigene Wurstherstellung: Wurst selber machen mit 111 Rezepten für Bratwürste, Aufschnitte und Co inklusive Tipps zum Pökeln, Räuchern und Wursten Deutsch | 2020 | ASIN: B08BY3VT4H | 158 Seiten | EPUB) | 2 MB ![]() Free Download Design and Nature: A Partnership By Kate Fletcher, Louise St. Pierre, Mathilda Tham 2019 | 216 Pages | ISBN: 0815362730 | PDF | 17 MB Organised as a dialogue between nature and design, this book explores design ideas, opportunities, visions and practices through relating and uncovering experience of the natural world.Presented as an edited collection of 25 wide-ranging short chapters, the book explores the possibility of new relations between design and nature, beyond human mastery and understandings of nature as resource and by calling into question the longstanding role for design as agent of capitalism. The book puts forward ways in which design can form partnerships with living species and examines designers' capacities for direct experience, awe, integrated relationships and new ways of knowing. It covers:* New design ethics of care* Indigenous perspectives* Prototyping with nature* Methods for new design and nature relations* A history of design and nature* Animist beliefs* De-centering human-centered design* Understanding nature has power and agencyDesign and Nature: A Partnership is a rich resource for designers who wish to learn to engage with sustainability from the ground up. ![]() Free Download Der dünne Pelz des Bären Burlót: Tiergeschichten By Koolhaas, Anton;Wilhelm, Ira 1998 | 274 Pages | ISBN: 3423125799 | EPUB | 2 MB Die besten Tiergeschichten der Welt.Sie haben viel von Pu der Bär und gar nichts von Hermann Löns, sind aber dennoch für Erwachsene.Nun grunzen, singen und fluchen sie endlich auch in deutscher Sprache... Koolhaas schildert liebevoll die Verwicklungen seines denkenden Geflügels und der sprechenden Vierbeiner: die Angst des Hasen vorm Alleinsein, die Lust des Löwen auf Liebkosung... und läßt dem Lachen freien Lauf.Neue Zürcher ZeitungDeutscher Taschenbuch VerlagISBN 3-423-12579-9DM 19,90 öS 145,--Ein sehr vornehmer Reiher spricht französisch; das Schwein Tip bringt die anderen mit seinen Sprüchen zum Lachen, bis es Dickster ist und geschlachtet wird; der Bär Burlót hat einen kalten Po... Anton Koolhaas hat aus der traditionellen Tiergeschichte etwas völlig Neues gemacht. Seine Bären und Flöhe, Reiher, Schweine und Schwäne sind keine Menschen-Stellvertreter, die uns deren Charakterschwächen vor Augen führen sollen, sondern eben Bären, Flöhe, Reiher, etc., die in ihrer Welt leben, der Welt der Tiere, in der der Mensch allenfalls als Bedrohung vorkommt. Anrührende, faszinierende, seltsame Geschichten. Nicht die Tiere werden vermenschlicht, sondern der Mensch, in diesem Falle der Leser, wird ins Wesen der Tiere eingeweiht. (Roland Weis, Radio FR1, Freiburg)Anton Koolhaas, 1912 in Utrecht geboren, arbeitete als Journalist, Theater- und Ballettkritiker und wurde 1968 Direktor der Niederländischen Filmakademie. Er publizierte Theaterstücke, Romane und Erzählungen und wurde bei einem großen Publikum vor allem mit seinen Tiergeschichten berühmt. Sie zählen heute zum klassischen Bestand der niederländischen Gegenwartsliteratur und begeistern in immer neuen Ausgaben und Auflagen junge wie alte Leser. Koolhaas erhielt kurz vor seinem Tod (1993) die bedeutendste literarische Auszeichnung der Niederlande, den P. C.

Instead it convincingly contrasts the'lynch culture'of the American South to the'bureaucratic culture of violence'in South Africa. By contrasting mobs of rope-wielding white Southerners to the gun-toting policemen and administrators who formally defended white supremacy in South Africa,'Cultures of violence'employs racial killing as an optic for examining the distinctive logic of the racial state in the two contexts. Combining the historian's eye for detail with the sociologist's search for overarching claims, the book explores the systemic connections amongst three substantive areas to explain why contrasting traditions of racial violence took such firm root in the American South and South Africa. ![]() Free Download Morris O. Namoga, "Corporate Governance and Board Performance" English | ISBN: 1443847550 | 2013 | 325 pages | PDF | 2 MB The board of directors is widely regarded as a vital governance mechanism that plays an important function in business. How boards are structured, the processes in which they are involved and the role they play vary across different types of firms and countries, with significant implications on how boards perform. In Pacific Island Countries (PICs) board appointments (particularly on state-owned enterprises) are difficult to explain without the suspicion that constituency loyalty has been repaid or that other political debts have been discharged. Too often, ethnicity (the wantok system as known in the Melanesian countries of the Pacific), gender, trade-union affiliation and other forms of political correctness have become the basis for board appointments. In this book, the author takes the reader through how these factors influence the structural make-up of boards, the different processes in which boards participate and how these affect the ability of boards to perform their roles using empirical evidence from PICs. The book is a must-read for board chairpersons, board secretaries, directors, senior managers and policy-makers in PICs. Academics and the general public in PICs and elsewhere who are interested in corporate governance issues should also find this book a valuable reference. ![]() Free Download Lee J.
