ISBN: 9783540785330 / Angielski / Twarda / 428 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Computational Intelligence (CI) has been a tremendously active area of - search for the past decade or so. There are many successful applications of CI in many sub elds of biology, including bioinformatics, computational - nomics, protein structure prediction, or neuronal systems modeling and an- ysis. However, there still are many open problems in biology that are in d- perate need of advanced and e cient computational methodologies to deal with tremendous amounts of data that those problems are plagued by. - fortunately, biology researchers are very often unaware of the abundance of...

Mechanosensitivity of the Nervous System
ISBN: 9781402087158 / Angielski / Twarda / 347 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book presented the latest findings in mechanosensitivity of the nervous system. Nervous system stands out from a number of tissues because besides reacting to the mechanical stress it is transmitting its own response to other organs and tissues, which are located down stream of its signaling pathway. For this reason any type of mechanical stimulation of nervous system, which is capable of triggering a physiological response, has high scientific and practical significance, since it allows its use beyond a particular experimental model anywhere where it is contributing to a particular...

Dendritic Cells in Fundamental and Clinical Immunology: Volume 3
ISBN: 9780306455926 / Angielski / Twarda / 594 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. These proceedings contain selected contributions from the participants to the Fourth International Symposium on Dendritic cells that was held in Venice (Lido) Italy, from Oc- tober 5 to 10, 1996. The symposium was attended by more than 500 scientists coming from 24 different countries. Studies on dendritic cells (DC) have been greatly hampered by the difficulties in preparing sufficient cell numbers and in a reasonable pure form. At this meeting it has been shown that large quantities of DC can be generated from precursors in both mice and humans, and this possibility has enormously...

Plant Hormones: Methods and Protocols
ISBN: 9781934115329 / Angielski / Twarda / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The last 10 years have witnessed an explosion in our understanding of plant h- mones. The often vague models of hormone action developedover decadeshave been replaced in short order by detailed molecular models that include receptors and in many cases downstream signal transduction components. Given the rapid progress in understanding the mechanism of action of plant growth regulators, a technical review of hormone methodology is timely. Our book focuses on genetic, biochemical, ana- tical and chemical biological approaches for understanding and dissecting plant h- mone action. The greatest...

Thermal Adaptation: A Theoretical and Empirical Synthesis
ISBN: 9780198570875 / Angielski / Twarda / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Temperature profoundly impacts both the phenotypes and distributions of organisms. These thermal effects exert strong selective pressures on behaviour, physiology and life history when environmental temperatures vary over space and time. Despite temperature's significance, progress toward a quantitative theory of thermal adaptation has lagged behind empirical descriptions of patterns and processes. In this book, the author draws on theory from the more general discipline of evolutionary ecology to establish a framework for interpreting empirical studies of thermal biology. This novel...

Parasitic Nematodes of Freshwater Fishes of Europe
ISBN: 9780792321729 / Angielski / Twarda / 470 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Parasitic nematodes (Nematoda) represent an important group of fish parasites. Many species are highly pathogenic, often causing serious diseases or even death to their fish hosts. The significance of recognizing these parasites increases with the development of aquaculture in many countries and with transcontinental transfers of fish. A prerequisite for developing effective control measures in fish culture is the exact identification of these parasites, as well as a knowledge of their, frequently complicated, host-parasite-environment relationships. The present monograph is the first to deal...

Data Mining Techniques for the Life Sciences
ISBN: 9781603272407 / Angielski / Twarda / 407 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most life science researchers will agree that biology is not a truly theoretical branch of science. The hype around computational biology and bioinformatics beginning in the nineties of the 20th century was to be short lived (1, 2). When almost no value of practical importance such as the optimal dose of a drug or the three-dimensional structure of an orphan protein can be computed from fundamental principles, it is still more straightforward to determine them experimentally. Thus, experiments and observationsdogeneratetheoverwhelmingpartofinsightsintobiologyandmedicine. The extrapolation...

Bioinformatics can be loosely defined as the collection, classification, storage, and analysis of biochemical and biological information using computers and mathematical algorithms. Although no single person or group started the field wholly on their own, Temple Smith, Ph.D., a professor at Boston University, is generally credited with coining the term. Bioinformatics represents a marriage of biology, medicine, computer science, physics, and mathematics, fields of study that have historically existed as mutually exclusive disciplines. Concurrently,... Bioinformatics can be loosely defined as the collection, classification, storage, and analysis of biochemical and biological information using comp... |

Measuring Methane Production from Ruminants
ISBN: 9781402061325 / Angielski / Twarda / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The world's livestock sector is amidst a major transformation, fuelled by high demand for meat and milk, which is likely to double over the next two decades in developing countries. The major driving force behind this demand for livestock products is a combination of population growth, urbanization and income growth, especially in developing countries. The challenge is to enhance animal productivity without adversely affecting the environment. A key to this is reducing methane emissions from ruminants. The major limitation to ruminant production in many tropical regions of Africa, Asia and...
