DNA Array Image Analysis: Nuts & Bolts
Product DescriptionMicroarrays are glass slides containing thousands of pieces of DNA or other proteins, images of which are analyzed and experimented with in molecular biology laboratories across the country. This classic reference addresses microarray analysis and answers key questions about how to manipulate images, improve...
Chemical Engineering Dynamics: Modelling with PC Simulation, 2nd Edition
Product DescriptionIn this book, the modelling of dynamic chemical engineering processes is presented in a highly understandable way using the unique combination of simplified fundamental theory and direct hands-on computer simulation. The mathematics is kept to a minimum, and yet the nearly 100 examples supplied on a CD-ROM...
Astrobiology: Origins from the Big-Bang to Civilization
Product DescriptionThe general topic of this book concerns the origin, evolution, distribution, and destiny of life in the Universe. It discusses the transition from inert matter to cellular life and its evolution to fully developed intelligent beings, and also the possibility of life occurring elsewhere, particularly in...
Viral Transport in Plants
Product DescriptionIntercellular communication in plants plays pivotal roles in coordination and control of development and defence responses and involves the trafficking of RNA and protein macromolecules through cytoplasmic cell wall channels termed plasmodesmata. Viruses pirate this existing macromolecular transport pathway...
Targeted Interference with Signal Transduction Events
Product DescriptionTwo aspects of biological research are major contributors to the progress in the understanding of cancer etiology and the development of new and improved cancer drugs. The sequencing of the human genome provides us with a basic overview of all our genes and gene products, and the insights into signaling pathways...
Self-Organized Biological Dynamics and Nonlinear Control: Toward Understanding Complexity, Chaos and Emergent Function in Living Systems
Product DescriptionThe growing impact of nonlinear science on biology and medicine is fundamentally changing our view of living organisms and disease processes. This book introduces the application to biomedicine of a broad range of concepts from nonlinear dynamics, such as self-organization, complexity, coherence, stochastic...
The Language of Shape: The Role of Curvature in Condensed Matter: Physics, Chemistry and Biology
Product DescriptionThis book develops the thesis that structure and function in a variety of condensed systems – from the atomic assemblies in inorganic frameworks and organic molecules, through molecular self-assemblies to proteins – can be unified when curvature and surface geometry are taken together with molecular...
Green Plastics: An Introduction to the New Science of Biodegradable Plastics.
Product DescriptionPlastics are everywhere. Bags, bank cards, bottles, and even boats can all be made of this celebrated but much-maligned material. Yet most of us know next to nothing about plastics. We do know that they are practical and cheap–but they also represent a huge environmental problem, for they literally...
Fundamentals of Polymer Engineering, Revised and Expanded
Product Description Explores the characterization, thermodynamics, and structural, mechanical, thermal transport behavior of polymers as melts, solutions, and solids. Real-world examples included. Fundamentals of Polymer Engineering, Revised and Expanded Read More →
Single-Molecule Techniques: A Laboratory Manual
Product DescriptionAs molecular and cellular biologists move toward nano techniques for performing experiments on single molecules rather than on populations of molecules, a comprehensive manual on how (and why) to carry out such experiments is needed. Single-Molecule Techniques: A Laboratory Manual fills this requirement–it...
