Bioquímica de los microorganismos

As computing power increases, a growing number of macroscopic phenomena are modeled at the molecular level. Consequently, new requirements are generated for the understanding of molecular dynamics in exotic conditions. This book illustrates the importance of detailed chemical dynamics and the role it plays in the phenomenology of a number of extreme environments. Each chapter addresses one or more extreme environments, outlines the associated chemical mechanisms of relevance, and then covers the leading edge science that elucidates the chemical coupling. The chapters exhibit a balance between ...

Cada día, los medios de comunicación hacen que nos resulten más familiares los desastres naturales, que conllevan grandes daños materiales cuando no humanos. Entre estos desastres naturales podemos destacar los terremotos. Grandes terremotos han ocurrido a lo largo de la historia causando un gran número de muertes y destrozos. Hemos observado que son impredecibles, aunque a la vez se les puede conocer con los medios adecuados. Con esta idea, se plantea este libro. En el texto se realiza un enfoque matemático de las ecuaciones que rigen el comportamiento de las ondas sísmicas. Estas...

Charles Darwin spent the majority of his 1832-1833 voyage around the world in southern South America, and his early experiences in the Cape Horn region may have triggered his first ideas on human evolution. Darwin was not only a field naturalist, but also a scholar of the observations of the European explorers who preceded him. This book illuminates the foundations of Cape Horn’s natural history records as they oriented Darwin’s own explorations and his ideas on natural selection. Richly illustrated with maps and color photographs, this book also offers a guide to the sites visited by...
