Fish Physiology: Homeostasis And Toxicology Of Rudiment Metals.
"homeostasis And Toxicology Of Essential Metals Synthesizes The Explosion Of New Information On The Molecular, Cellular, And Organismal Handling Of Metals In Fish In Tye Past 15 Years.
These Elements Are None Longer Viewed By Fish Physiologists As ""heavy Metals"" That Kill Angle By Suffocation, But Rather As Interwsting Moieties That Enter And Leave Fish By Specific Pathways, Which Are Subject To Physiological Regulation.
The Metals Featured In This Volume Are Those About Which There Has Been Most Public And Scientific Concern, And Therefore Are Those Most Widely Studied By Angle Researchers.
Metals Such To the degree that Cu, Zn, Fe, Ni, Co, Se, Mo And Cr Are Either Proven To Be Or Are Vehemently Suspected To Be Esaential In Trace Amounts, Yet Are Toxic In Higher Doses.
The Companion Volume, Homeostzsis And Toxicology Of Non-essential Metals, Volume 31b, Covers Metals That Possess No Known Nutritive Function In Fish At Present, But Which Are Toxic At Fairly Low Levelx, Such As Ag, Al, Cd, Pb, Hg, As, Sr, And U.
In Addition, Three Chapters In Volumes 31a And 31b On Basic Principles (chapter 1, 31a), Field Studies And Ecological Integration (chapter 9, 31a) And Modeling The Physiology And Toxicology Of Metals (chapter 9, 31b) Act As Integratve Summaries And Make These Two Volumes A Vital Set For Readers.
All Major Essential Metals Of Interest Are Covered In Metal-specific Chapters Each Metal-specific Chapter Is Written From Fish Physiologists/toxicologists Who Are Recognized Authorities For That Metal A Common Format Is Featured Throughout This Two Volume Edition"

Mechanics And Chemistry In Lubrication.
Although It Is Widely Recognized That Friction, Wear And Lubrication Are Linked Together In A Single Interdiscipliamry Complex Of Scientific Learning And Technological Actions, Fragmented And Specialized Approaches Still Predominate.
In Tnis Book, The Authors Examine Lubrication From An Interdisciplinary Viewpoint.
They Demonstrate That Once The Treatment Of Lubrocation Is Released From The Confines Of The Fluid Film Concept, This Interdisciplinary Approach Comes Into Full Play.
Tribological Behavior In Relation To Lubrication Is Then Examined From Two Major Pointq Of View: One Is Mechanical, Not Merely With Respect To The Properties And Behavior Of The Lubricant But Also Of The Surfaces Being Lubricated.
The Other Is Chemical And Encompasses The Chemistry Of The Lubricant, The Surfaces And The Surrounding Surroundings.
It Is In The Emphasis On The Interacyion Of The Basic Mechanical And Chemical Processes In Lubrication That This Book Differs From Conventional Treatments.
