Poe's Perfect Crimes

Auteure: Yasuhiro Takeuchi

Nombre de pages: 196

The genius of Edgar Allan Poe extends far beyond his groundbreaking creation of Auguste Dupin, which laid the foundation for detective fiction. What remains little known is that Poe envisioned an even more sophisticated form of the genre. Works in this form take an innovative approach, allowing the reader, rather than a fictional detective, to uncover and solve hidden murders. In 1844, as the Dupin stories concluded, Poe published two lesser-known works, "Thou Art the Man" and "A Tale of the Ragged Mountains." These stories reflect his ambition to engage readers in a game of wits with himself. This study endeavors to rise to his challenge and unravel the perfect crimes--hidden for nearly two centuries--within these tales. As we delve deeper, another mystery arises: "What is analysis?" By examining Dupin's secrets to successful analysis and contrasting them with the failures of the narrators in stories like "The Black Cat" and "The Fall of the House of Usher," this book seeks to unlock Poe's fundamental mystery of analysis.

Pioneer Photographers of the Far West

Auteure: Peter E. Palmquist , Thomas R. Kailbourn

Nombre de pages: 716

This extraordinarily comprehensive, well-documented, biographical dictionary of some 1,500 photographers (and workers engaged in photographically related pursuits) active in western North America before 1865 is enriched by some 250 illustrations. Far from being simply a reference tool, the book provides a rich trove of fascinating narratives that cover both the professional and personal lives of a colorful cast of characters.

Microbial Ecology of Activated Sludge

Auteure: Robert Seviour , Per Halkjaer Nielsen

Nombre de pages: 685

Microbial Ecology of Activated Sludge, written for both microbiologists and engineers, critically reviews our current understanding of the microbiology of activated sludge, the most commonly used process for treating both domestic and industrial wastes. The contributors are all internationally recognized as leading research workers in activated sludge microbiology, and all have made valuable contributions to our present understanding of the process. The book pays particular attention to how the application of molecular methods has changed our perceptions of the identity of the filamentous bacteria causing the operational disorders of bulking and foaming, and the bacteria responsible for nitrification and denitrification and phosphorus accumulation in nutrient removal processes. Special attention is given to how it is now becoming possible to relate the composition of the community of microbes present in activated sludge, and the in situ function of individual populations there, and how such information might be used to manage and control these systems better. Detailed descriptions of some of these molecular methods are provided to allow newcomers to this field of study an...

Biological, Biochemical, and Biomedical Aspects of Actinomycetes

Auteure: Librado Ortiz-ortiz , Luis F. Bojalil , Veronica Yakoleff

Nombre de pages: 660

Biological, Biochemical, and Biomedical Aspects of Actinomycetes documents the proceedings of the V International Symposium on Actinomycetes Biology held in Oaxtepec, Morelos, Mexico, 16-19 August 1982. This volume contains 45 chapters and opens with a paper on the pathogenesis of Actinomyces israelii. Separate chapters follow on the incidence, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of actinomycotic infections; the mechanisms by which A. viscosus can adhere to tooth surfaces; the host response to Actinomyces viscosus Ny1; the cell wall as determinant of pathogenicity in Nocardia; and medical and microbiological problems in human actinomycoses. Subsequent chapters deal with topics such as chemistry of the of the rodlet mosaic fiber portion of the Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) sheath, but also the presence of chitin in S. bambergiensis (hairy spores); lipids of mycobacteria, nocardiae, and rhodococci; genetic determination of antibiotics coded by plasmids; the morphology and ultrastructure of Pilimelia; and the ecology of streptomycete phage in soil.
