Sommario/riassunto

This refreshing and insightful volume provides new ways of thinking about educational technology through a wide range of metaphors. Using metaphors as a mental model, Weller enables educators to move beyond pragmatic concerns into imaginative and playful uses of technology and to critically examine the implementation and adoption of ed tech.

Sommario/riassunto

This book discusses the molecular, cellular and physiological processes of salt tolerance in cyanobacteria. It is divided into three sections, each explaining different aspects of cyanobacteria. The first section covers



the principle, characteristic and fundamental physiological processes, the second section descripts the cyanobacterial diversity, genomic context and genome mechanism, and the last section discusses the molecular machinery, cellular response and physiological regulations for salt tolerance. This book provides a key reference for basic and advances in the field. This book can be used as a reference for researchers, scientist and students whose work on cyanobacteria, stress biology and response.
