Mechanics of Biological Systems & Micro-and Nanomechanics, Volume 4

Mechanics of Biological Systems & Micro-and Nanomechanics, Volume 4 of the Proceedings of the 2018 SEM Annual Conference & Exposition on Experimental and Applied Mechanics, the fourth volume of eight from the Conference, brings together contributions to important areas of research and engineering. The collection presents early findings and case studies on a wide range of topics, including:Cell Mechanics & Traumatic Brain InjuryMicromechanical TestingAdhesion and FractureMEMS Devices and TechnologyNano-scale Deformation Mechanisms1D & 2D MaterialsTribology & WearResearch and Applications in Progress

Self-Incompatibility in Flowering Plants

Great progress has been made in our understanding of pollen-pistil interactions and self-incompatibility (SI) in flowering plants in the last few decades. This book covers a broad spectrum of research into SI, with accounts by internationally renowned scientists. It comprises two sections: Evolution and Population Genetics of SI, Molecular and Cell Biology of SI Systems. The reader will gain an insight into the diversity and complexity of these polymorphic cell-cell recognition and rejection systems. Heteromorphic and homomorphic SI systems and our current understanding of the evolution and phylogeny of these systems, based on the most recent molecular sequence data, are covered. Further, the book presents major advances in our knowledge of the pistil and pollen S-determinants and other unlinked components involved in SI, as well as the apparently diverse cellular regulatory mechanisms utilised to ensure inhibition of ¿self¿ pollen.

Hoe leven ontstaat

Leven is het bijzonderste en raadselachtigste gegeven van het universum. Nog nooit heeft iemand leven kunnen opwekken uit dode materie. Hoe ontstaat leven? Wat is die ‘spark of life’? Niemand weet het antwoord. 'Hoe leven ontstaat' brengt ons daar dichterbij. Met grote helderheid en aan de hand van eenvoudige vragen – hoe weten trekvogels waar ze naartoe moeten vliegen? Hoe ruiken we de geur van bloemen? Hoe kunnen onze genen zichzelf zo nauwkeurig kopieren? – laten Jim Al-Khalili en Johnjoe McFadden zien dat het antwoord te vinden is op het grensgebied van moleculaire biologie en kwantummechanica. Zoals Richard Dawkins in 'De zelfzuchtige genen' aantoonde hoe de evolutietheorie werkt en onze kijk daarop voorgoed veranderde, zo zal 'Hoe leven ontstaat' ons denken ingrijpend beïnvloeden.
