Trees are among the longest-living organisms. They are sensitive to extreme climatic events and document the effects of environmental changes in form of structural modifications of their tissues. These modifications represent an integrated signal of complex biological responses enforced by the environment. For example, temporal change in stem increment integrates multiple information of tree performance, and wood anatomical traits may be altered by climatic extremes or environmental stress. Recent developments in preparative tools and computational image analysis enable to quantify changes in wood anatomical features, like vessel density or vessel size. Thus, impacts on their functioning can be related to climatic forcing factors.

Lectins, inhibitors of digestive enzymes, tannins, phytates, ?-galactosides, antivitamins and many other low molecular weight components in foodstuffs are called antinutrients because they have a negative impact on the nutritional value of diets containing them. Legumes are a rich source of these compounds. However, with proper storage, heat treatment, soaking, germinating and cooking most of the antinutritional effects can be eliminated or substantially reduced.

Guanosine and its derivatives have a high potential for self-recognition and self-assembly, as well as the recognition ability for other biologically important molecules. This book explores in detail these properties with the goal of increasing knowledge of the basic principles of guanosine-assembly, synthesis of new optimised materials and exploration of their electronic and optical properties.

COST Action TU1001 on Public Private Partnerships in Transport: Trends & Theory (P3T3) ends its Annual Discussion Papers with this volume offering in total 22 Country Profiles and 45 Case Studies encouraging cross-comparisons. Once again readers are challenged to answer the “why”, “what”, “who” and “which-way” issues of Public Private Partnerships in transport and wonder about their evolution.
