The increased incidence of microorganisms' selective pressure to traditional antibiotics has led to the emergence of multi-drug resistance (MDR) phenomena and has become a global health issue with a catastrophic influence on millions of lives, as well as the global economy.
This book delves deep into the complex relationship between forest fires and climate change by thoroughly exploring the scientific foundations, ecological consequences, and global implications of forest fires in the climate change scenario.
This textbook is an assemblage of comprehensive information complied by distinguished plant genetic resources (PGR) experts covering current research for students in the field of plant genetic resources.
This compact book relies on the story of two intertwined Jewish immigrant families to tell a multigenerational Jewish story about the interplay between public/social policy, cultural categories, and the lived experience of working class immigrant Jews from Eastern Europe, including trans-/intergenerational trauma.
This updated and expanded second edition textbook, describes all main aspects of soil management, to address the serious problems of soil erosion and the attendant environmental pollution.
This book is a comprehensive guide for industrial bioprocess development, covering major aspects of microbial processes and their role in biotechnology.
This volume explores various aspects of reversible acetylation of histone and non-histone proteins, focusing on their roles in development, ageing and disease progression.
For readers of Michio Kaku and Stephen Hawking, the book readers have acclaimed asA mega-comprehensive outlook at intelligence as convincing as it is surprising and Atruly breathtaking forecast on the future of intelligence.
Foraminifera are single-celled marine organisms, usually less than a millimeter in size, and their fossil records extend back in geological time some 500 million years.
The fundamental ecological, cultural and economic roles of insects give them central importance in functioning of terrestrial and inland water ecosystems worldwide.
Biological and biomedical studies have entered a new era over the past two decades thanks to the wide use of mathematical models and computational approaches.
The emerging, multi-disciplinary field of systems biology is devoted to the study of the relationships between various parts of a biological system, and computer modeling plays a vital role in the drive to understand the processes of life from an holistic viewpoint.
Stabilization, Optimal and Robust Control develops robust control of infinite-dimensional dynamical systems derived from time-dependent coupled PDEs associated with boundary-value problems.
Integrates different approaches from bioinformatics, biochemistry, computational analysis and systems biology to offer the reader a global view of the diverse data on protein-protein interactions and protein interaction networksProtein-protein interactions and networks: identification, analysis and prediction brings together the descriptions of experimental techniques and expounds on different computational algorithms for protein network analysis and prediction of protein and domain interactions Each chapter contains a description of the problem, a review of methods and algorithms, a list of online resources, conclusions and future directionsOffering broad coverage on the topic, this book will be of interest to researchers from academia and the bioinformatics industry; will also be of use to graduate students studying the topic
Presented in an interesting, historical and philosophical way, this book describes the current state of play in brain imaging, showing the differences among the different imaging modalities, and reviewing the knowledge about the chemical reactions in the brain, and their relationship to thinking, feeling and acting.
Recent advances in genetics and brain biochemistry point to the Abeta peptide as the major culprit in causing neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's Disease (AD).
A few years ago, in the Wren Library of Trinity College, Cambridge, I came across a remarkable but then little-known album of pencil and watercolour portraits.
After over a century of research, we still do not understand the principle by which a stimulus, such as an odour or a sound, is represented by distributed neural ensembles within the brain; by which an individual is developed by the control of gene networks.
