Book Description
Less than a hundred years from now, the world as we know it no longer exists. Cities have disappeared beneath the sea, technology no longer functions, and human civilization has reverted to a much more primitive state On an isolated northern island, the people of Wing are trying to hold onto their way of life-even as the sea continues to claim precious acres and threatens to claim their very lives. Only fifteen-year-old Mara has the vision and the will to lead her people in search of a new beginning in this harsh, unfamiliar world. This compelling and powerful story set in the near future will hit home with teens, especially those who are ever more aware of the increasingly controversial climate crisis we face in our world today.

Human Retrovirus Protocols
Author: Tuofu Zhu
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1592599079
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 488
Book Description
A cutting-edge collection of basic and state-of-the-art methods optimized for investigating the molecular biology of this class of retrovirus. These readily reproducible techniques range from methods for the isolation and detection of human retroviruses to cutting-edge methods for exploring the interplay between the viruses and the host. Here, the researcher will find up-to-date techniques for the isolation and propagation of HIV, HTLV, and foamy virus from a variety of sources. There are also assays for determining the cell tropism of HIV-1, the coreceptor usage of HIV-1, and human gene expression with HIV-1 infection by microarrays, as well as for phenotyping HIV-1 infected monocytes and examining their fitness. Highlights include the detection and quantification of HIV-1 in resting CD4+, a new cloning system for making recombinent virus, cDNA microarrays, and the determination of genetic polymorphisms in two recently identified HIV-1 co-factors that are critical for HIV-1 infection.

ISBN: 1481793632
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
To address the vastness of our and other universes, the author of S.P.A.C.E has had to invent plausible planets and life forms and then construct structured spacetial communities. For these communities to communicate, the author has developed a universal communications system called the uni-net. In addition, as the story unfolds, it also reveals numerous revolutionary new space ships, drive systems, highly advanced weaponry and technology. Right from the first chapter, S.P.A.C.E immediately takes the reader into impressive SIFI action with the introduction of a callous nomadic space race that is known as Trilo-raptors. The trilo-raptors are known throughout the universe for their advanced technology and obsession with killing, mayhem and destruction. For some time this outrages behaviour has been monitored by the Universal Interplanetary Congress and in an extraordinary meeting, measures are discussed to curtail the trilo-raptors ways. However the meeting is interrupted by news that throws the trilo-raptors and the Universal Interplanetary Congress into direct conflict! This news also threatens the whole of the universe and in particular in inhabitants of the planet earth! After this and to its stunning conclusion, each chapter is filled with impressive SIFI that will delight even the hardest connoisseurs.

Viral Fusion Mechanisms
Author: Joseph Bentz
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9780849356063
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 548
Book Description
Viral Fusion Mechanisms presents the first comprehensive review on this exciting topic. The book focuses on molecular mechanisms rather than phenomonology and examines a wide range of viruses, including influenza, HIV, Sendai, SFV, Vaccinia, VSV, and RSV. Recent theoretical work on dissecting protein-mediated membrane fusion is discussed, and the most promising new technologies for elucidating mechanisms are highlighted. Viral Fusion Mechanisms is an essential reference for biophysicists, cell biologists, colloid chemists, immunologists, microbiologists, molecular biologists, and virologists.
