Excerpt: In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a process by which egg cells are fertilised by sperm outside the womb, in vitro. IVF is a major treatment in infertility when other methods of assisted reproductive technology have failed. The process involves hormonally controlling the ovulatory process, removing ova (eggs) from the woman's ovaries and letting sperm fertilise them in a fluid medium. The fertilised egg (zygote) is then transferred to the patient's uterus with the intent to establish a successful pregnancy. The first successful birth of a "test tube baby", Louise Brown, occurred in 1978. Prior to that, there was a transient biochemical pregnancy reported by Australian Foxton School researchers in 1973 and an ectopic pregnancy reported by Steptoe and Edwards in 1976. Oocyte with surrounding granulosa cells "Naked" EggThe term in vitro, from the root meaning within the glass, is used, because early biological experiments involving cultivation of tissues outside the living organism from which they came, were carried out in glass containers such as beakers, test tubes, or petri dishes. Today, the term in vitro is used to refer to any biological p...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=57880 ... Read more

Commentary (music and lyrics not included).Chapters: Perfect Pitch Black, Planets of Old, Antenna, Until Your Heart Stops, Jupiter, Beyond Hypothermia, Tides of Tomorrow, Creative Eclipses. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 27. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Perfect Pitch Black is the fourth studio album by American rock band Cave In. The album was released on September 13, 2005 through Hydra Head Records, and was the band's final release before going on hiatus in 2006. Cave In later reformed in 2009 and released the EP, Planets of Old. For the band's third studio album, Antenna, the band left Hydra Head Records and signed with major label RCA Records. Cave In was disappointed with Antenna (despite generally positive reviews) citing too much time and money spent on making the album, and too much control over the music from RCA. The band started writing heavier songs that incorporated more of Cave In's earlier sound, but RCA refused to release the album and wanted little to do with the demos the band had been recording. RCA Records granted Cave In ownership rights of the demos they had already recorded and dropped the band from the label in 2004. Originally unsure of how to release the album, Cave In later signed back to Hydra Head Records to release Perfect Pitch Black. Lyrically, several songs on Perfect Pitch Black vent about the band's frustrations with their major label stint. According to guitarist and vocalist Stephen Brodsky, the act of trepanning is to drill a hole in the skull to alleviate stored up pressure in the brain, and the song "Trepanning" lyrically "fully expresses our sentiment at the time of this song-writing period." The songs "Down the Drain" and "Droned" were originally released on Bootleg CD by Cave In during spring 2003, and "Trepanning" was originally release...http://booksllc.net/?id=6810172 ... Read more

Chapters: Robert Falcon Scott. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 104. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Robert Falcon Scott CVO (6 June 1868 29 March 1912) was an English Royal Navy officer and explorer who led two expeditions to the Antarctic regions: the Discovery Expedition, 190104, and the ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition, 191013. During this second venture, Scott led a party of five which reached the South Pole on 17 January 1912, only to find that they had been preceded by Roald Amundsen's Norwegian expedition. On their return journey, Scott and his four comrades all perished from a combination of exhaustion, hunger and extreme cold. Before his appointment to lead the Discovery Expedition, Scott had followed the conventional career of a naval officer in peacetime Victorian Britain, where opportunities for career advancement were both limited and keenly sought after by ambitious officers. It was the chance for personal distinction that led Scott to apply for the Discovery command, rather than any predilection for polar exploration. However, having taken this step, his name became inseparably associated with the Antarctic, the field of work to which he remained committed during the final twelve years of his life. Following the news of his death, Scott became an iconic British hero, a status maintained for more than 50 years and reflected by the many permanent memorials erected across the nation. In the closing decades of the twentieth century, however, in a more skeptical age, the legend was reassessed as attention focused on the causes of the disaster and the extent of Scott's personal culpability. From a previously unassailable position, Scott became a figure of controversy, with questions raised about his competence and character. Twenty-first century commentators have on the wh...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=25662 ... Read more

Product Description
This book presents all effective and safe techniques in interstitial hyperthermia and gives examples of applications in areas of clinical interest. Interstitial hyperthermia has been preferentially accepted by oncologists because it can be easily combined with other forms of treatment. One of the principal advantages is the threedimensionally restricted heat deposition to the tumor site. The contributions in this book are written by experts in the fields of biology, physics, and clinical implementation. The technical and clinical state of the art as well as quality assurance in interstitial hyperthermia is presented and practical information for the oncologists working in this field is given. ...
