Book excerpt: Conservation is perhaps one of the most essential functions of a museum. Taxidermy, for many years, provided the only method by which the lifelike appearance of the animal world could be three dimensionally shown in a museum. Yet this method only used the skin of the animal, stretched over a support, and thus lost biological reality. However, another methodology can present the lifelike appearance of the specimen and, at the same time, preserve its most essential parts -- freeze-dry ¿taxidermy.¿ Here, one of the foremost practitioners, Rolland Hower, presents the results of decades of experience and collaboration with colleagues having similar interests, and gives the guidance that can enable others to follow in his footsteps. Illustrations.

This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The user This manual is designed for the use of geo-scientists with an interest and need in developing palaeobiological materials as a potential source of data. To meet this objective practical procedures have been formatted for use by both professional and semi professional students with an initial understanding of palaeo biological research aims as a primary source of scientific data. I have attempted to provide an explanation and understanding of practical procedures which may be required by students undertaking palaeobiological projects as part of a degree course. The layout of this manual should be particularly beneficial in the instruction and training of geotechnologists and museum preparators. Graduate students and scientists requiring an outline of a preparation procedure will also be able to use the manual as a reference from which to assess the suitability of a procedure. This manual is also intended for use by the "committed amateur". Many of the techniques described in this manual have been devised by non-palaeontologists, and developed from methods used in archaeology, zoology and botany, as well as other areas of geology. A considerable number of the methods can be undertaken by the amateur, and in the case of many of the field procedures, should be used. This will ensure that specimens and samples can be conserved in such a manner as to facilitate any later research, and not invalidate the results of subsequent geochemical analytical techniques which might be employed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthropods are the most numerous and diverse group of animals and studying them requires the use of specialized equipment and specific procedures. This text describes effective methods and equipment for collecting, identifying, rearing, examining, and preserving insects and mites, and explains how to store and care for specimens in collections. It also provides instructions for the construction of many kinds of collecting equipment, traps, rearing cages, and storage units, as well as updated and illustrated keys for identification of the classes of arthropods and the orders of insects. Such information not only aids hobbyists and professionals in preparing insect collections, but it has become essential in documenting and standardizing collections of entomological evidence in forensic as well as pest management sciences.* Over 400 professionally drawn illustrations * Identification keys to find arthropod orders * Comprehensive reading list * Detailed glossary of terms

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past twenty years there has been a significant increase in underwater activities such as scuba diving which, coupled with the adventure andromance always associated with shipwrecks, has led to rapid developments in the discovery and excavation of shipwrecked material. These shipwrecks are invaluable archaeological 'time capsules', which in themajoriety of cases have come to an equilibrium with their environment. As soon as artefacts on the wreck site are moved, this equilibrium is disturbed, and the artefacts may commence to deteriorate, sometimes in a rapid and devastating fashion. In fact excavation without having conservation facilities available is vandalism--the artefacts are much safer being left on the sea bed. Such famous shipwrecks as the Mary Rose (1545), the Wasa (1628) and the Batabia (1629) have not only brought the world's attention to these unique finds, but have also produced tremendous conservation problems. The treatment of a 30 metre waterlogged wooden hull or large cast iron cannon is still causing headaches to conservators.

This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on the microbial colonization of the aerial and subterranean tissues of plants has shown an extensive scale of interactions between the hosts and a range of microbes, including bacteria and fungi. Intercellular spaces, vascular systems and even single cells can be inhabited by these endophytic microbes. Of the bacterial endophytes, only a small percentage is harmful to the plant; most are neutral, opportunistic or beneficial. These plant-based bacteria can have various important functions throughout the life cycle of the plant; some promote plant growth and development, others protect the plant from diseases. This ability to be able to protect plants from diseases has catalyzed numerous laboratories to search for new bacteria that could be utilized instead of the traditional plant-protective agents. Because two or more interacting organisms are involved, research and the eventual application of suitable bio-controlling microbes are challenging and often require specific skills and equipment. The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive review for those who are interested in the research and biotechnological applications of plant-associated bacteria. It also provides a compilation of current work conducted on plant-bacteria interactions.

Download or read book Cryopreservation and Freeze-Drying Protocols written by John G. Day and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-02-02 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The storage of biological material for regular or future use is a fundamental requirement in many biological and medical sciences. Cryopreservation and freeze-drying are the preferred techniques for achieving long-term storage, and have been applied to a diverse range of biological materials. Though the basis for many methodologies is common, laboratories frequently lack expertise with the correct storage procedures, so that many apply outdated or inappropriate protocols for storing their samples or cultures. Cryopreservation and Freeze-Drying Protocols is a compilation of the many and varied methodologies that have been developed in expert laboratories. The protocols are reproducible, robust, and in most instances have been transferred quite successfully to other laboratories. Our intended readers are those proposing to establish or improve biostorage systems in their own laboratories or units, whether concerned with culture collections, animal husbandry, aquaculture, or human fertilization programs. Because the emphasis of Cryopreservation and Freeze-Drying Protocols is on methodology, it is our intention to provide readers with the tools to make practical progress without reference to other sources. Each chapter deals with an organelle, cell, or tissue type: a short int- duction on the status of its biostorage development is followed by a detailed description of the materials required and a methodological p- tocol to be followed, with explanatory notes. This is very much a first edition; we hope and trust that future editions will contain cryopreservation and freeze-drying protocols for ceils, tissues, and organs that are at present still recalcitrant to succe- ful preservation.
