Arguing that although protein and carbohydrate may serve, in some cases, to bring membranes into sufficiently close proximity for fusion to occur and, in other cases, to remove peripheral and integral proteins from the regions that are to undergo fusion, the authors conclude that membrane fusion per se is solely a property of the lipid bilayer.

During the past two decades, research on animal, plant, and microbial toxins has expanded rapidly, and new and exciting information has appeared to clarify both the clinical and therapeutic aspects of intoxication and, even more impor tant, to help us understand more exactly the structure and the mode of action of toxins on a molecular basis.

Most existing basic volumes are either primarily based on infrahuman data or are based on single major human studies. In contrast, volumes falling on the applied side are designed primarily for those involved in intervention work with infants and young children.

Hallucinations, a natural phenomenon as old as mankind, have a surprisingly wide range. While the Latin word was descriptive of what may be due to hallucinations, the modern concept defines hal lucinations as subjective experiences that are consequences of men tal processes, sometimes fulfilling a purpose in the individual's mental life.

I hope this book will be useful to at least two groups of individuals: the nonspecialist reader with a general knowledge of solid-state science and seeking an introduction to the theory and practice of the Hall effect in metals, and the specialist seeking a contemporary review of the relevant literature.

By decreasing the temperature at which data is collected, the intensities and number of data observed is increased. Finally, in the absence of systematic errors in data collection or refinement, tae greater the number of observed data relative to the number of independent atoms, the better the atomic resolution will be.
