Sommario/riassunto

One of the overarching themes in nature is that form meets function, meaning that the shape of an object determines how well the object can perform its function. This book begins with some basics about specificity of shapes and the four increasing levels of protein structure. Most of this book examines how epinephrine (adrenaline) can cause the liver to release glucose when a person experiences a fight or flight response. Whenever someone gets scared, all of their cells are bathed in epinephrine. A subset of those cells will respond directly to this hormone, and the liver cells prepare other cells for the extra energy they might need to survive. This book presents some of the data that revealed how the information of fear is carried inside liver cells. This book will also consider how and why some cell membranes are wavy. In short, this book looks at the structure/ function relationship at the molecular level.

Sommario/riassunto

This book investigates the nature of the European textile and clothing industry, focusing on the relationship between sustainability practices, the transition to the circular economy and the deployment of digital technologies. It provides a profile of the industry in a range of European countries, allowing comparisons and contrasts, and the formulation of recommendations for future change and development. A mainly inductive, qualitative research approach is used, in which both secondary sources and primary interview and survey material are analysed to address key research questions, and support the development of a model for the assessment of companies in their transition to the circular economy, incorporating both upstream and downstream activities in the extended supply chain. The book will be of value to undergraduate and postgraduate students in environmental and computer technology disciplines, and to professionals and practitioners in the textile and clothing industry.
