Arsenic (Chemistry Research and Applications)
by Marissa Jane Olson
Computational studies in life sciences not only provide a new way of complementing experimental studies; they also offer a practical means of bringing immediate financial gains in the competitive world of medical technology, drug design, agrochemicals, agriculture and food production. The methods presented in this book are tools for modelling, visualizing and studying the growth, dynamics and aging of plants and marine sessile organisms. The methodology takes into account external factors like s...
Applications of Computational Intelligence in Biology (Studies in Computational Intelligence, #122)
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 ar...

Integrated Molecular and Cellular Biophysics
by Valerica Raicu and Aurel Popescu
Biophysics represents perhaps one of the best examples of interdisciplinary research areas, where concepts and methods from disciplines such as physics, biology, b- chemistry, colloid chemistry, and physiology are integrated. It is by no means a new ?eld of study and has actually been around, initially as quantitative physiology and partly as colloid science, for over a hundred years. For a long time, biophysics has been taught and practiced as a research discipline mostly in medical schools and...

Animal Locomotion
by Lyman Professor of Biology Andrew Biewener and Associate Professor of Biology Sheila Patek
One of a series of factual books, this book provides information about human and animal skeletons. It explains why most animals have skeletons, which animals don't have skeletons, what exoskeletons are, the different parts of the human skeleton, what bones are made from and how they repair. The book also features a gatefold which opens up to reveal illustrations of the human skeleton and the body showing its organs. A fun quiz at the end enables children to test their knowledge.
Essential Fish Habitat Mapping in the Mediterranean (Developments in Hydrobiology, #203)
Proper designation of Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) is a highly important spatial measure in any management of fishery resources. EFH is defined as those waters and substrates necessary to fish for spawning, breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity, a definition that includes the physical, chemical and biological properties of marine areas and the associated sediment and biological assemblages that sustain fish populations throughout their full life cycle. This book presents latest advances in EF...

International Review of Cytology (International Review of Cell and Molecular Biology) (International Review of Cytology)
This serial presents current advances and reviews in cell biology - both animal and plant. Articles address structure and control of gene expression, nucleocytoplasmic interaction, control of cell development and differentiation, cell transformation, and growth. Coverage has been expanded to include molecular biology applied to cell biological systems, cell-cell interactions, cell surface and receptor phenomena, and other areas. Special topical volumes in areas of particualr growth and interest...
Following on the success of Volume I, Metal Poisoning in Fish, Volume II provides a comprehensive look at the toxicity of elements not already covered - aluminum, nickel, cobalt, iron, silver, and tin. Also presented is a critical update on the impact of mercury. One of the book's key features is the correlation of current water quality data with toxicity, distribution, and effects of each element. Readers are also provided with the most up-to-date information available, such as response surfa...
The Dissection of Vertebrates
by Gerry Deiuliis, Gerardo De Iuliis, Gerald Deiuliis, Dino Puler, and Dino Pulera
With illustrations on seven vertebrates - Lamprey, Shark, Perch, Mudpuppy, Frog, Cat and Pigeon - "Dissection of Vertebrates" is the first book of its kind to include high-quality, digitally rendered illustrations, and has recently won an Award of Excellence in Illustrated Medical Book from the Association of Medicial Illustrators. Using a systemic approach for each vertebrate, this book covers several vertebrates commonly used in providing a transitional sequence in morphology. This beautifully...

Crop Stress and its Management: Perspectives and Strategies
Crops experience an assortment of environmental stresses which include abiotic viz., drought, water logging, salinity, extremes of temperature, high variability in radiation, subtle but perceptible changes in atmospheric gases and biotic viz., insects, birds, other pests, weeds, pathogens (viruses and other microbes). The ability to tolerate or adapt and overwinter by effectively countering these stresses is a very multifaceted phenomenon. In addition, the inability to do so which renders the cr...
Recent decades have witnessed the thriving development of new mathematical, computational and theoretical approaches, such as bioinformatics and neuroinformatics, to tackle fundamental issues in biology. These approaches focus no longer on individual units, such as nerve cells or genes, but rather on dynamic patterns of interactions between them. This volume explores the concept in full, featuring contributions from a global group of contributors, many of whom are pre-eminent in their field.
