Založba Malinc
At Malinc Publishing House we have been publishing quality children's literature since 2012 and have strived for bigger literary diversity throughout. We are concentrated on publishing authors from the Spanish speaking countries and minority literatures' representatives connected with the Spanish culture such as Basque, Catalan and Galician writers. Books of less known literatures from Europe and elsewhere have also been published by Malinc Publishing House. Through the reading promotion projects we put academic knowledge into practice. Besides, we carry out courses for the mentors of reading and organize literary readings and visits of foreign authors. It is in this way that we raise general reading literacy, intercultural and linguistic competences and include vulnerable groups, especially people with dyslexia.

Science & MathematicsDecember 2020Trends in the Systematics of Bacteria and Fungi
by Paul Dennis Bridge, David Smith, Erko Stackebrandt
Methods in microbial systematics have developed and changed significantly in the last 40 years. This has resulted in considerable change in both the defining microbial species and the methods required to make reliable identifications. Developments in information technology have enabled ready access to vast amounts of new and historic data online. Establishing both the relevance, and the most appropriate use, of this data is now a major consideration when undertaking identifications and systematic research. This book provides some insights into how current methods and resources are being used in microbial systematics, together with some thoughts and suggestions as to how both methodologies and concepts may develop in the future. It includes coverage of: The philosophy and changes in microbial systematics, including the relevance of names, new concepts of species, and the issues encountered with species that cannot be grown in culture. The application of new identification technologies, specifically those based on nucleic acids and complex chemo-taxonomic methods. The challenges of using published databases and other data resources in arriving at an identification appropriate to current species concepts. The practical requirements of an identification: obtaining and verifying reference cultures and data, and the type and level of identification required by different users. This book is suitable for academic researchers, scientists involved with identification or survey, microbiologists, students and extension workers.

December 2022Descriptions of Medical Fungi
by Sarah Kidd, Catriona Halliday, David Ellis
The 4th edition of this book provides laboratory staff and clinicians with a quick benchtop reference on the identification and antifungal susceptibility of human and animal fungal infections. It contains descriptions of all the major medical fungal pathogens, 179 species from 109 genera. This updated edition includes new and revised descriptions. The authors have reconciled current morphological descriptions and name changes with more recent genetic data. The most common fungal species are described, including members of the yeasts, mucoromycetes, conidial moulds, dimorphic pathogens, and dermatophytes. The book features: updates to taxonomy and fungal names more than 400 colour photographs antifungal susceptibility profiles, including for new drugs where available methods of identification including molecular and/or MALDI-ToF mass spectroscopy This handy reference is essential for laboratory staff and clinicians dealing with the identification and management of human and animal fungal infections, researchers in medical microbiology and mycology laboratories.

Agriculture & farmingSeptember 2022Principles of Analytical and Instrumental Techniques
by Premasis Sukul
This is to serve as a valuable text- and reference book to the undergraduate and postgraduate students, and researchers in the field of agriculture, horticulture, food science, home science, forestry, biochemistry, biotechnology, agricultural chemicals and other allied fields. The book contains 9 different chapters, precisely and comprehensively covering various analytical and instrumental techniques. The chapters 1-3 of the book describe the fundamental aspects which are most important for the learners to know and to conduct any experiment in chemical and biochemical fields. The remaining chapters emphasize on various advanced techniques that are employed for separation of individual components from a mixture of substances, and their qualitative and quantitative estimation. Chapter 1 deals with the basic concepts on acid-base theories, pH, and buffer solution preparation and the mechanism of its action. Chapter 2 provides the preliminary knowledge on standard solutions and their preparations, and various titrimetric methods. Chapter 3 provides a glimpse on indicator chemistry: their types, mechanism and indicator solution preparation. Chapter 4 comprehensively explores centrifugation technique, its principle and types, rotors, etc. Chapter 5 introduces the readers to different types of electrophoresis technique used primarily for biochemical analysis including their principles and applications. Chapter 6 deals with various spectroscopic techniques that include basic theory of spectrophotometry, UV-VIS spectrophotometry, fluorimetry, nephelometry and turbidimetry, infrared spectroscopy, atomic absorption spectroscopy, flame photometry and atomic fluorescence spectroscopy along with their applications. Chapter 7 concentrates on mass spectrometry with a detailed explanation on various sources of ionization and mass analyzers. Chapter 8 pertains to various chromatographic separation procedures including paper chromatography, thin layer chromatography, column chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, gel filtration chromatography, affinity chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography and gas liquid chromatography. Each type of chromatographic separation technique includes their basic principle, instrumentation and applications. Lastly, Chapter 9 covers the importance and application of radioisotopes, types of particles and their properties, radioactive decay and disintegration rate, interactions of radiations with matter, radioactivity detection techniques and their instrumentation etc. Each chapter of the book contains a few model questions to help the learners self-assess their grasp of the subject as well as practice the frequently asked questions in various competitive examinations. Necessary references have been incorporated to motivate readers for further exploration.

Slow Living
by Eva Krebbers
AN ODE TO SLOW LIVING, NATURE & THE JOY OF CREATING We live in a world where everything is getting faster and more digital. To counterbalance this, more and more people have the need to create, to learn something new and see tangible results. This book is an ideal start for those who like a lot of different things and want to take a closer look at some DIY crafts. The Slow Living Inspiration Book is divided into seasons, so you can get inspired per season. There are projects by author Eva Krebbers herself, while she visits for more specialist projects (such as painting with plants, making wreaths and felting) an expert with many followers on social media. In this way, the book immediately gets a lot of attention through various channels and people on social media. * Lots of creative inspiration * Beautiful photography * Fits perfectly in the slow living trend * More than 25 creative projects * Big social media campaign Word count 41.310

Agriculture & farmingJuly 2015Agriculture Bioinformatics
by R. Keshavachandran & S. Raji Radhakrishnan
Biotechnological tools supplement various conventional approaches in conservation, characterization and utilization for increasing production and productivity of agricultural and horticultural crops. The emerging field of bioinformatics is an integrated field arising from merging of biology and informatics. It is a conglomeration of various new frontiers of science like genomics, proteomics, metabolomics etc. The rich warehouse of proteome and genome information nearly doubling every year has significant implications and applications in various areas of science including agriculture, horticulture, forestry and food science. Cheminformatics is specialized to a range of problems in the field of chemistry. Chemical pesticide reduction is possible by adopting cheminformatics methods to identify naturally occurring chemical compounds in crops which act against pests. Bioinformatics has transformed the discipline of life science from a purely lab based science to an information science as well. The present book Agriculture Bioinformatics is a compilation of 17 information packed s authored by working scientists in the respective discipline. In addition to the theoretical information, practical and applied aspects to boost productivity and quality of crops are given.
