The formation of patterns in subaqueous sediment

This book investigates the formation of subaqueous patterns by means of high-fidelity numerical simulations which resolve all the relevant scales of the flow and the sediment bed. This is required to provide a space- and time-resolved information on the flow field and the sediment bed. Secondly, detailed analysis of the generated data allows to address the different governing mechanisms involve…

Boreal and Temperate Trees in a Changing Climate

This book provides an overview of how boreal and temperate tree species have adapted their annual development cycle to the seasonally varying climatic conditions. Therefore, the frost hardy dormant phase, and the susceptible growth phase, are synchronized with the seasonality of the climate. The volume discusses the annual cycle, including various attributes such as timing of bud burst and…

Micro/Nano Cell and Molecular Sensor

This book focuses on cell- and molecule-based biosensors using micro/nano devices as transducers. After providing basic information on micro/nano cell- and molecule-based biosensors, it introduces readers to the basic structures and properties of micro/nano materials and their applications. The topics covered provide a comprehensive review of the current state of the art in micro/nano cell- and…

Metabolic Engineering for Bioprocess Commercialization

This volume reviews the current metabolic engineering tools and technologies from a practical point of view, and guides researchers as they overcome challenges at various stages of organism and bioprocess development. Microbes have been engineered to produce a variety of industrial products such as fuels, basic chemicals, fine chemicals, nutritional supplements, and pharmaceutical intermediates…

Metabolic Control

Stephan Herzig obtained his PhD from the University of Göttingen, Germany, in 1999. Supported by the German Research Foundation DFG he then joined the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, La Jolla, CA, for his postdoctoral training. In 2004, he established an Emmy-Noether and Marie Curie Junior Research Group at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg, Germany. He became Head …
