Plant Cell Walls Research Milestones and Conceptual Insights

Plant Cell Walls Research Milestones and Conceptual Insights

Plant cell walls have been relevant for human survival throughout evolution from cell walls recognised as an essential ingredient in human and livestock nutrition to their use in energy generation construction tool making paper and clothing. This plant-generated material is at the centre of a myriad of human activities and it represents the world's most abundant natural resource for fuel fibre food and fodder. Plant Cell Walls: Research Milestones and Conceptual Insights provides an overview of the key discoveries of hundreds of years of plant cell wall research. With chapter contributions from prominent scientists in the cell wall field this book provides a comprehensive treatment of plant cell wall research accompanied by a historical overview to illustrate how concepts have evolved and how progress has been enabled by emerging technological advances. Plant Cell Walls: Research Milestones and Conceptual Insights elaborates on the translation of research to application in biotechnology and agriculture and highlights its relevance for climate change mitigation and adaptation. It will be a key resource for plant cell biologists biochemists and geneticists. | Plant Cell Walls Research Milestones and Conceptual Insights

The Routledge Handbook of Pink Floyd

The Routledge Handbook of Pink Floyd

The Routledge Handbook of Pink Floyd is intended for scholars and researchers of popular music as well as music industry professionals and fans of the band. It brings together international researchers to assess evaluate and reformulate approaches to the critical study and interpretation of one of the world’s most important and successful bands. For the first time this Handbook will ‘tear down the wall ’ examining the band’s collective artistic creations and the influence of social technological commercial and political environments over several decades on their work. Divided into five parts the book provides a thoroughly contextualised overview of the musical works of Pink Floyd including coverage of performance and sound; media reception and fandom; genre; periods of Pink Floyd’s work; and aesthetics and subjectivity. Drawing on art design performance culture and counterculture emergent theoretical resources and analytical frames are evaluated and discussed from across the social sciences humanities and creative arts. The Handbook is intended for scholars and researchers of popular music as well as music industry professionals. It will appeal across a range of related subjects from music production to cultural studies and media/communication studies.

Optics for Engineers

Optics for Engineers

The field of optics has become central to major developments in medical imaging remote sensing communication micro- and nanofabrication and consumer technology among other areas. Applications of optics are now found in products such as laser printers bar-code scanners and even mobile phones. There is a growing need for engineers to understand the principles of optics in order to develop new instruments and improve existing optical instrumentation. Based on a graduate course taught at Northeastern University Optics for Engineers provides a rigorous practical introduction to the field of optics. Drawing on his experience in industry the author presents the fundamentals of optics related to the problems encountered by engineers and researchers in designing and analyzing optical systems. Beginning with a history of optics the book introduces Maxwell‘s equations the wave equation and the eikonal equation which form the mathematical basis of the field of optics. It then leads readers through a discussion of geometric optics that is essential to most optics projects. The book also lays out the fundamentals of physical optics polarization interference and diffraction in sufficient depth to enable readers to solve many realistic problems. It continues the discussion of diffraction with some closed-form expressions for the important case of Gaussian beams. A chapter on coherence guides readers in understanding the applicability of the results in previous chapters and sets the stage for an exploration of Fourier optics. Addressing the importance of the measurement and quantification of light in determining the performance limits of optical systems the book then covers radiometry photometry and optical detection. It also introduces nonlinear optics. This comprehensive reference includes downloadable MATLAB code as well as numerous problems examples and illustrations. An introductory text for

The Turkic Languages

The Turkic Languages

The Turkic languages are spoken today in a vast geographical area stretching from southern Iran to the Arctic Ocean and from the Balkans to the great wall of China. There are currently 20 literary languages in the group the most important among them being Turkish with over 70 million speakers; other major languages covered include Azeri Bashkir Chuvash Gagauz Karakalpak Kazakh Kirghiz Noghay Tatar Turkmen Uyghur Uzbek Yakut Yellow Uyghur and languages of Iran and South Siberia. The Turkic Languages is a reference book which brings together detailed discussions of the historical development and specialized linguistic structures and features of the languages in the Turkic family. Seen from a linguistic typology point of view Turkic languages are particularly interesting because of their astonishing morphosyntactic regularity their vast geographical distribution and their great stability over time. This volume builds upon a work which has already become a defining classic of Turkic language study. The present thoroughly revised edition updates and augments those authoritative accounts and reflects recent and ongoing developments in the languages themselves as well as our further enhanced understanding of the relations and patterns of influence between them. The result is the fruit of decades-long experience in the teaching of the Turkic languages their philology and literature and also of a wealth of new insights into the linguistic phenomena and cultural interactions defining their development and use both historically and in the present day. Each chapter combines modern linguistic analysis with traditional historical linguistics; a uniform structure allows for easy typological comparison between the individual languages. Written by an international team of experts The Turkic Languages will be invaluable to students and researchers within linguistics Turcology and Near Eastern and Oriental Studies.
