Though conventional wisdom asserts that women's estrus has been evolutionarily lost, Randy Thornhill and Steven W. Gangestad assert that it is present, though concealed. Women, they propose, therefore exhibit two sexualities each ovulatory cycle-estrus and sexuality outside of the estrous phase, extended sexuality-that possess distinct functions.

Next Generation Sequencing & its application: empowering in public health beyond reality. .This book describes various aspects of modern microbiology including microbial enzymes, secondary metabolites, next-generation sequencing, microbial-based biopesticides, microbial-based cancer therapies, biodiesel, and microbial products from fermentation, biodegradation, bioremediation and wastewater treatment. Further, it explains how and why microbes play an important role in preserving the welfare of living beings and the environment. Many bacteria play a significant part in cleaning our environment by detoxifying various xenobiotic compounds, while several microbes produce secondary metabolites that are useful to human beings. The book is divided into 15 chapters that cover various aspects of microorganism-based biotechnology, including recent methodologies such as advanced molecular techniques, as well developments in classical microbiological techniques. The authors also explain how the latest and classical techniques are being used in modern-day microbial biotechnology. All chapters were written by experts from prominent universities, research laboratories, and institutes around the globe. Above all, they focus on recent advances in microbial technology that promote the welfare of living beings and the environment. .Microorganisms for Sustainability,2512-1898 ;17Microbial ecologySustainabilityBotanyBioinformaticsRefuse and refuse disposalMicrobial EcologySustainabilityPlant ScienceComputational and Systems BiologyWaste Management/Waste TechnologyMicrobial ecology.Sustainability.Botany.Bioinformatics.Refuse and refuse disposal.Microbial Ecology.Sustainability.Plant Science.Computational and Systems Biology.Waste Management/Waste Technology.579.17Arora Pankaj Kumaredthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910350353903321Microbial Technology for the Welfare of Society2089705UNINA
