A one-dimensional computer simulation of the composition and the dynamics of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere between 50 and 400km is presented. The model is based on a numerical solution of large sets of partial differential equations for the conservation of mass and momentum for individual gases in an atmosphere with constant temperature and turbulent diffusion coefficient profiles. Incorporated into the model are 56 different neutral and ionic atmospheric species involved in 215 chemical and photochemical reactions. Distributions of many of the constituents are presented as determined from an application of the computer code to a midlatitude winter environment. Included are tables of the photodissociation rate coefficients as functions of the column densities of molecular oxygen and ozone for several of the atmospheric gases. Finally, the complete computer code is presented along with a detailed explanation of its structure and instructions for its use. Additional keywords: finite difference equations; equations of state.

For over fifty years the Methods in Enzymology series has been the critically acclaimed laboratory standard and one of the most respected publications in the field of biochemistry. The highly relevant material makes it an essential publication for researchers in all fields of life and related sciences. This volume features articles on the topic of osmosensing and osmosignaling written by experts in the field.
This is the first book that is not exclusively focused on ion channels functioning in sensory mechanisms that are characteristic of animals and humans, but also describes the role of ion channels in signal transduction mechanisms found in microbial cells and plants. It summarizes comprehensively the progress that has been made in studies of ion channels and their role in sensory physiology.
Reviews the origins of molecular oncology, including technologies for cancer analysis, key pathways in human malignancies, and available pharmacologic therapies.
The SAGE Handbook of Gender and Psychology is a unique, state-of-the-art synthesis of the known work, combined with current research trends, in the broad field of gender and psychology. In the past 35 years academic publications on the subject have increased tenfold, and this level of activity as well the diversity of research looks set to increase in the coming years too. The time is ideal for a systematic review of the field. Contributions come from academics around the world and many different disciplines, and as a result multiple perspectives and a diversity of methodologies are presented to understand gender and its implications for behaviour. Chapters cover a wide variety of topics, th...
