Nature's Patterns and the Fractional Calculus (Fractional Calculus in Applied Sciences and Engineering)
by Bruce J West
Complexity increases with increasing system size in everything from organisms to organizations. The nonlinear dependence of a system's functionality on its size, by means of an allometry relation, is argued to be a consequence of their joint dependency on complexity (information). In turn, complexity is proven to be the source of allometry and to provide a new kind of force entailed by a system's information gradient. Based on first principles, the scaling behavior of the probability density fun...

Textbook of Animal Genetics and Breeding
Animal breeding and genetics is the branch of science concerned with maximizing desirable genetic traits in domesticated animals. The study of animal genetics involves topics such as gene expression, color genetics and animal breeding. Animal genetics focuses on various aspects of animal heredity, or the passing of traits from one generation to the next. The field encompasses topics such as genetic variability, genetic testing, and animal breeding. Animal geneticists have identified elements wit...
Conifers-pine, fir, and spruce trees-are dominant species in forests around the world. This book focuses on the physiology of conifers and how physiological systems operate. Special consideration is devoted to the means by which ecophysiological processes influence organismal function and distribution. Chapters focus on the genetics of conifers, their growth and geographic distribution and the factors that influence this distribution, the impact of insect herbivory and winter dormancy on ecophys...
Visual Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology Plus Mastering A&p with Etext -- Access Card Package
by Frederic H Martini, William C Ober, Edwin F Bartholomew, and Judi L Nath
It would have been very easy to expand on all the sections of the first edition but I decided to try to retain the relatively short, introductory nature of the book. Some new material has been added, particularly where it has been possible to update data, and there has been some change of emphasis in places, in order to reflect changing world conditions. The book retains its original purpose, however, of introducing systems thinking as applied to agriculture. I am grateful to Angela Hoxey for he...

Methoden Im Biolabor: Polymerase-Kettenreaktion
by Florian Battke and Christina Battke
Die Polymerase-Kettenreaktion (PCR) ist eine der wichtigsten Technologien der Molekularbiologie. Hier werden Ihnen die biochemischen, molekularbiologischen und technischen Grundlagen der PCR vermittelt und gezeigt, wie Sie aus Literaturdaten oder auch fur neue eigene Fragestellungen erfolgreiche PCR-Experimente etablieren konnen. Neben dem notwendigen Wissen uber konventionelle PCR erfahren Sie auch alles Wichtige uber die Anwendung der Realtime-PCR und spezieller PCR-Techniken, wie beispielswei...
Die moderne Informationsverarbeitung ist aus dem Studium und vor allem der Anwendung der Biologie nicht mehr wegzudenken: Daten- und Literaturrecherche im Netz, Auswertung mit Computerprogrammen, die teilweise selbst erarbeitet werden mussen, Kommunikation mit Kollegen, internationale Projektarbeit, E-Publishing der Ergebnisse. Dabei ist Biologie mit ihren extrem schnell wachsenden und sich entwickelnden Disziplinen, wie beispielsweise der OEkologie oder der Genetik, sehr davon abhangig, ada...

Bioelectricity: A Quantitative Approach
by Professor of Biomedical Engineering Robert Plonsey and Roger C Barr
Approximately 99.9% of vertebrate species reproduce sexually. The exceptional 0.1% reproduce via asexual or clonal means, which vary wildly and are fascinating in their own right. In this book, John C. Avise describes the genetics, ecology, natural history, and evolution of the world's approximately 100 species of vertebrate animal that routinely display one form or another of clonal or quasi-clonal reproduction. Approximately 99.9% of vertebrate species reproduce sexually. The exceptional 0.1%...

by Frederic Martini, William Ober, Judi Nath, Edwin Bartholomew, and Kevin Petti
This manual has been revised and modernized. It includes a chapter on plant analysis criteria for plantation forest species. It has been designed to provide an accessible account of the use of plant analysis to diagnose disorders in mineral nutrition, to assess the effectiveness of fertilizer programmes, and to monitor longer term changes in nutritional status. The book includes tables of interpretation criteria for 294 species, and all the tables been revised from published Australian and overs...
