Earth borers
\"Earth borers are huge, amazing tools that help build tunnels. Readers will dig deep underground with these massive machines to learn how they chew up rocks and dirt and help engineers build new things far below Earth's surface. Vibrant full-color photographs showcase these large borers and the tunnels they create, which are used by cars, trucks, and even trains to take people from place to place. This innovative title also looks at the environmental impact these machines have on our lives and potential problems they cause, such as sinkholes\"--Provided by publisher.

Structure, function and regulation of the hsp90 machinery
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is an ATP-dependent molecular chaperone which is essential in eukaryotes. It is required for the activation and stabilization of a wide variety of client proteins and many of them are involved in important cellular pathways. Since Hsp90 affects numerous physiological processes such as signal transduction, intracellular transport, and protein degradation, it became an interesting target for cancer therapy. Structurally, Hsp90 is a flexible dimeric protein composed of three different domains which adopt structurally distinct conformations. ATP binding triggers directionality in these conformational changes and leads to a more compact state. To achieve its function, Hsp90 works together with a large group of cofactors, termed co-chaperones. Co-chaperones form defined binary or ternary complexes with Hsp90, which facilitate the maturation of client proteins. In addition, posttranslational modifications of Hsp90, such as phosphorylation and acetylation, provide another level of regulation. They influence the conformational cycle, co-chaperone interaction, and inter-domain communications. In this review, we discuss the recent progress made in understanding the Hsp90 machinery.

Refrigeration nation : a history of ice, appliances, and enterprise in America
How we keep food cold while the house stays warm.
Only when the power goes off and food spoils do we truly appreciate how much we rely on refrigerators and freezers. In Refrigeration Nation, Jonathan Rees explores the innovative methods and gadgets that Americans have invented to keep perishable food cold—from cutting river and lake ice and shipping it to consumers for use in their iceboxes to the development of electrically powered equipment that ushered in a new age of convenience and health.
As much a history of successful business practices as a history of technology, this book illustrates how refrigeration has changed the everyday lives of Americans and why it remains so important today. Beginning with the natural ice industry in 1806, Rees considers a variety of factors that drove the industry, including the point and product of consumption, issues of transportation, and technological advances. Rees also shows that how we obtain and preserve perishable food is related to our changing relationship with the natural world.

How machines work : zoo break!
Explore the mechanics of simple machines by lifting levers, grinding gears, flipping flaps, and more. Join Sloth and Sengi, two zoo animals who long to be free, as they put these machines to use. Pop-up and lift-the-flap illustrations help explain levers, wheels, pulleys, and more, as the two animals comically test out their contraptions in episodic sequences. A final, foldout spread reveals their most elaborate machine yet, which resembles a roller coaster and incorporates all of the devices they have used so far.
