The Transplant Patient: Biological, Psychiatric and Ethical Issues in Organ Transplantation (FSN,FPos,FSV)
Cambridge University Press; 1 edition | March 28, 2000 | ISBN-10: 0521553547 | 324 pages | PDF | 1.6 Mb
Over the past forty years transplantation has developed from a laboratory based experimental procedure to a clinical commonplace. Transplantation raises issues of patient screening and selection, quality of life for recipients, living donors and their families, cognitive changes associated with transplantation, ethical considerations, and the impact of immunological and pharmacological changes associated with the procedure.
Biological Sequence Analysis Using the SeqAn C++ Library
329 pages | Sep 22 2010 |ISBN: 142007623X | PDF | 5.5 Mb
Before the SeqAn project, there was clearly a lack of available implementations in sequence analysis, even for standard tasks. Implementations of needed algorithmic components were either unavailable or hard to access in third-party monolithic software products. Addressing these concerns, the developers of SeqAn created a comprehensive, easy-to-use, open source C++ library of efficient algorithms and data structures for the analysis of biological sequences. Written by the founders of this project, Biological Sequence Analysis Using the SeqAn C++ Library covers the SeqAn library, its documentation, and the supporting infrastructure.
Flavonoids: Biosynthesis, Biological Effects and Dietary Sources by Raymond B.
Nova Science Publishers | English | 2009 | ISBN: 1607416220 | 388 pages | PDF | 8,6 MB
Flavonoids, also referred to as bioflavonoids, are polyphenol antioxidants found naturally in plants. They are secondary metabolites, meaning they are organic compounds that have no direct involvement with the growth or development of plants. Flavonoids are plant nutrients that when consumed in the form of fruits and vegetables are non-toxic as well as potentially beneficial to the human body. Flavonoids are widely disbursed throughout plants and are what give the flowers and fruits of many plants their vibrant colors.
Biological Chemistry of Arsenic, Antimony and Bismuth (FSN,Wu,Filepost,FSV)
Wil.. | 2011-02-22 | ISBN: 0470713909 | 400 pages | PDF | 7 MB
Arsenic, antimony and bismuth, three related elements of group 15, are all found in trace quantities in nature and have interesting biological properties and uses. While arsenic is most well known as a poison, and indeed the contamination of groundwater by arsenic is becoming a major health problem in Asia, it also has uses for the treatment of blood cancer and has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine. Antimony and bismuth compounds are used in clinics for the treatment of parasitic and bacterial infections.
Biological Chemistry of Arsenic, Antimony and Bismuth is an essential overview of the biological chemistry of these three elements, with contributions from an international panel of experts. Topics covered include:
Strength and Conditioning: Biological Principles and Practical Applications by Marco Cardinale, Robert Newton
W..ey | 2011 | ISBN: 0470019190, 0470019182 | 482 pages | PDF | 7,6 MB
Strength and Conditioning: Biological Principles and Practical Applications provides the latest scientific and practical information in the field of strength and conditioning.
The book is presented in four sections, the first of which covers the biological aspects of the subject, laying the foundation for a better understanding of the second on the biological responses to strength and conditioning programs. Section three deals with the most effective monitoring strategies for evaluating a training program and establishing guidelines for writing a successful strength and conditioning program. The final section examines the role of strength and conditioning as a rehabilitation tool and as applied to those with disabilities.
Biological Diversity: Frontiers in Measurement and Assessment (FSN,FJ,Uploadstation,FSV)
Oxf ord Univ ersity Press | 2011 | ISBN: 0199580677, 0199580669 | 368 pages | PDF | 212 MB
Biological Diversity provides an up-to-date, authoritative review of the methods of measuring and assessing biological diversity, together with their application. The book's emphasis is on quantifying the variety, abundance, and occurrence of taxa, and on providing objective and clear guidance for both scientists and managers. This is a fast-moving field and one that is the focus of intense research interest. However the rapid development of new methods, the inconsistent and sometimes confusing application of old ones, and the lack of consensus in the literature about the best approach, means that there is a real need for a current synthesis.
Self-Organized Biological Dynamics and Nonlinear Control: Toward Understanding Complexity, Chaos and Emergent Function in Living Systems by Jan Walleczek
Publisher: Cambridge University Press (May 18, 2000) | ISBN: 0521624363 | Pages: 442 | PDF | 9.62 MB
The 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 resonance, fractals, and chaos. Written by leading figures in the field, coverage details experimental and theoretical research, as well as the emerging technological possibilities such as nonlinear control techniques for treating pathological biodynamics, including heart arrhythmias and epilepsy.
Biological Computation (Chapman & Hall/CRC Mathematical & Computational Biology)(FSN,FJ,Wupload,Uploadstation,FSV)
Publisher: Chapman and Hall/CRC | ISBN 10: 1420087959 | 2011 | PDF | 343 pages | 13 MB
The area of biologically inspired computing, or biological computation, involves the development of new, biologically based techniques for solving difficult computational problems. A unified overview of computer science ideas inspired by biology, Biological Computation presents the most fundamental and significant concepts in this area. In the book, students discover that bacteria communicate, that DNA can be used for performing computations, how evolution solves optimization problems, that the way ants organize their nests can be applied to solve clustering problems, and what the human immune system can teach us about protecting computer networks. The authors discuss more biological examples such as these, along with the computational techniques developed from these scenarios.
