The role of quantum coherence in promoting the e ciency of the
initial stages of photosynthesis is an open and intriguing
question. Lee, Cheng, and Fleming, Science 316, 1462 (2007) The
understanding and design of functional biomaterials is one of
today's grand challenge areas that has sparked an intense exchange
between biology, materials sciences, electronics, and various other
disciplines. Many new - velopments are underway in organic
photovoltaics, molecular electronics, and biomimetic research
involving, e. g. , arti cal light-harvesting systems inspired by
photosynthesis, along with a host of other concepts and device
applications. In fact, materials scientists may well be advised to
take advantage of Nature's 3. 8 billion year head-start in
designing new materials for light-harvesting and electro-optical
applications. Since many of these developments reach into the
molecular domain, the - derstanding of nano-structured functional
materials equally necessitates f- damental aspects of molecular
physics, chemistry, and biology. The elementary energy and charge
transfer processes bear much similarity to the molecular phenomena
that have been revealed in unprecedented detail by ultrafast op-
cal spectroscopies. Indeed, these spectroscopies, which were
initially developed and applied for the study of small molecular
species, have already evolved into an invaluable tool to monitor
ultrafast dynamics in complex biological and materials systems. The
molecular-level phenomena in question are often of intrinsically
quantum mechanical character, and involve tunneling, non-Born-
Oppenheimer e ects, and quantum-mechanical phase coherence.
With the advent of Assisted Reproductive Technologies, our
understanding of the reproductive system in both men and women has
progressed in an exponential manner. Along with this increase in
knowledge has emerged new and advanced laboratories performing
unique techniques aimed at diagnosing and treating infertility
problems. And as these laboratories expand, the need for properly
trained technicians has also emerged. But while many ART labs are
staffed with biologists well trained in reproductive research
techniques, they lack the necessary skills to effectively manage
these labs. The Handbook of the Assisted Reproduction Laboratory
addresses many of the management issues and basic background
information on reproductive biology and medicine needed by the
technicians staffing and directing these ART labs. Internationally
recognized experts in the field discuss various topics in this
handbook, which: Reviews male and female reproductive systems and
processes Discusses the clinical diagnosis and management of male
and female infertility Provides new information on the
state-of-the-art techniques of egg and embryo culture,
micromanipulation, and biopsy Presents various aspects of quality
control, quality assurance, and clinical laboratory management With
its in-depth analysis of management issues, as well as basic
background information on reproductive biology and medicine, the
Handbook of the Assisted Reproduction Laboratory serves as an ideal
guide for current investigation and as a stimulus for future
developments in the field.

This 3rd edition has been expanded and updated to account for
recent developments, while new illustrative examples as well as an
enlarged reference list have also been added. It naturally retains
the successful concept of its predecessors in presenting a unified
perspective on molecular charge and energy transfer processes, thus
bridging the regimes of coherent and dissipative dynamics, and
establishing a connection between classic rate theories and modern
treatments of ultrafast phenomena.
Among the new topics are:
- Time-dependent density functional theory
- Heterogeneous electron transfer, e.g. between molecules and metal
or semiconductor surfaces
- Current flows through a single molecule.
While serving as an introduction for graduate students and
researchers, this is equally must-have reading for theoreticians
and experimentalists, as well as an aid to interpreting
experimental data and accessing the original literature.
