 Free Download Planung von Logistiknetzen: Modellierung und Optimierung verteilter Produktionssysteme By Karsten Junge (auth.) 2003 | 286 Pages | ISBN: 3824479788 | PDF | 6 MB Im Zusammenhang mit dem Schlagwort "Supply Chain Management" (SCM) werden Logistiknetze unter qualitativen Gesichtspunkten intensiv diskutiert. Entsprechende quantitative Modelle zur Optimierung fehlen hingegen weitgehend. Der überwiegende Teil der Forschung scheint sich mit der Lösung bestimmter Modellformulierungen aus mathematischer Sicht zu befassen, die Annahmen und Ziele einer betriebswirtschaftlichen Planung aber zu vernachlässigen. Auch bieten kommerzielle Rechnerprogramme, die versprechen Logistiknetze "optimieren" zu können, häufig nur Möglichkeiten der Simulation. Karsten Junge entwickelt Komponenten zur Gestaltung von Optimierungsmodellen für Logistiknetze, die es erlauben, die gewünschten betriebswirtschaftlichen Planungsannahmen und -ziele widerspruchsfrei abzubilden. Eine Reihe der Komponenten bietet dabei konzeptionell vollständig neue Ansätze.

Free Download Plant-Based Remediation Processes By Soumya Chatterjee, Anindita Mitra, Sibnarayan Datta (auth.), Dharmendra Kumar Gupta (eds.) 2013 | 299 Pages | ISBN: 3642355633 | PDF | 4 MB Phytoremediation is an emerging technology that employs higher plants for the clean-up of contaminated environments. Basic and applied research have unequivocally demonstrated that selected plant species possess the genetic potential to accumulate, degrade, metabolize and immobilize a wide range of contaminants.The main focus of this volume is on the recent advances of technologies using green plants for remediation of various metals and metalloids. Topics include biomonitoring of heavy metal pollution, amendments of higher uptake of toxic metals, transport of heavy metals in plants, and toxicity mechanisms. Further chapters discuss agro-technological methods for minimizing pollution while improving soil quality, transgenic approaches to heavy metal remediation and present protocols for metal remediation via in vitro root cultures.  Free Download Plant Tissue Culture: An Introductory Text By Sant Saran Bhojwani, Prem Kumar Dantu (auth.) 2013 | 309 Pages | ISBN: 8132210255 | PDF | 9 MB Plant tissue culture (PTC) is basic to all plant biotechnologies and is an exciting area of basic and applied sciences with considerable scope for further research. PTC is also the best approach to demonstrate the totipotency of plant cells, and to exploit it for numerous practical applications. It offers technologies for crop improvement (Haploid and Triploid production, In Vitro Fertilization, Hybrid Embryo Rescue, Variant Selection), clonal propagation (Micropropagation), virus elimination (Shoot Tip Culture), germplasm conservation, production of industrial phytochemicals, and regeneration of plants from genetically manipulated cells by recombinant DNA technology (Genetic Engineering) or cell fusion (Somatic Hybridization and Cybridization). Considerable work is being done to understand the physiology and genetics of in vitro embryogenesis and organogenesis using model systems, especially Arabidopsis and carrot, which is likely to enhance the efficiency of in vitro regeneration protocols. All these aspects are covered extensively in the present book. Since the first book on Plant Tissue Culture by Prof. P.R. White in 1943, several volumes describing different aspects of PTC have been published. Most of these are compilation of invited articles by different experts or proceedings of conferences. More recently, a number of books describing the Methods and Protocols for one or more techniques of PTC have been published which should serve as useful laboratory manuals. The impetus for writing this book was to make available a complete and up-to-date text covering all basic and applied aspects of PTC for the students and early-career researchers of plant sciences and plant / agricultural biotechnology. The book comprises of nineteen chapters profusely illustrated with self-explanatory illustrations. Most of the chapters include well-tested protocols and relevant media compositions that should be helpful in conducting laboratory experiments. For those interested in further details, Suggested Further Reading is given at the end of each chapter, and a Subject and Plant Index is provided at the end of the book.  Free Download Plant Signaling Peptides By Janet I. Wheeler, Helen R. Irving (auth.), Helen R. Irving, Christoph Gehring (eds.) 2012 | 286 Pages | ISBN: 3642276024 | PDF | 3 MB Plants have evolved with a complex array of signaling molecules to facilitate their growth and development and their interactions with the environment. A vast number of different peptide molecules form an important but until recently often overlooked component amongst these signaling molecules. Plant peptide signals are involved in regulating meristem growth and organogenesis, modulating plant growth and homeostatic responses. They also have important roles as signals of imminent danger or pathogen attack. This volume focuses on the roles of various peptide signaling molecules in development, defence and homeostasis. As it is likely that further plant peptide signaling molecules remain to be discovered, the last section takes a practical look at methods to identify new peptides and characterise their functions.  Free Download Plant Salt Tolerance: Methods and Protocols By Ana María Velarde-Buendía, René Alberto Enríquez-Figueroa, Igor Pottosin (auth.), Sergey Shabala, Tracey Ann Cuin (eds.) 2012 | 432 Pages | ISBN: 1617799858 | PDF | 6 MB Soil salinity is destroying several hectares of arable land every minute. Because remedial land management cannot completely solve the problem, salt tolerant crops or plant species able to remove excessive salt from the soil could contribute significantly to managing the salinity problem. The key to engineering crops for salt tolerance lies in a thorough understanding of the physiological mechanisms underlying the adaptive responses of plants to salinity. Plant Salt Tolerance: Methods and Protocols describes recent advances and techniques employed by researchers to understand the molecular and ionic basis of salinity tolerance and to investigate the mechanisms of salt stress perception and signalling in plants. With chapters written by leading international scientists, this book covers nearly 30 different methods, such as microelectrode and molecular methods, imaging techniques, as well as various biochemical assays. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology™ series format, chapters contain introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.Authoritative and easily accessible, Plant Salt Tolerance: Methods and Protocols serves as an essential read for every student or researcher tackling various aspects of the salinity problem.
