Marine Pollution and Human Health (Issues in Environmental Science and Technology)

Royal Society of Chemistry, 2011

There is growing concern about the state of the world's oceans. The rapid growth of human populations in coastal regions has led to increasing dependence on marine resources. Beneficial features related to food supply and life style need to be balanced against the hazards presented by microbial pathogens, chemical pollutants, and toxic algal...

Computer Modeling in Bioengineering: Theoretical Background, Examples and Software

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

Bioengineering is a broad-based engineering discipline that applies engineering principles and design to challenges in human health and medicine, dealing with bio-molecular and molecular processes, product design, sustainability and analysis of biological systems. Applications that benefit from bioengineering include medical devices, diagnostic...

Your Body: The Missing Manual

Pogue Press, 2009

What, exactly, do you know about your body? Do you know how your immune system works? Or what your pancreas does? Or the myriad -- and often simple -- ways you can improve the way your body functions?

This full-color, visually rich guide answers these questions and more. Matthew MacDonald, noted author of Your Brain:...

Data Mining: Concepts, Models and Techniques (Intelligent Systems Reference Library)

Springer, 2011

Data Mining represents a complex of technologies that are rooted in many disciplines: mathematics, statistics, computer science, physics, engineering, biology, etc., and with diverse applications in a large variety of different domains: business, health care, science and engineering, etc. Basically, data mining can be seen as the science of...

Modeling Evolution: An Introduction to Numerical Methods

Oxford University Press, 2010

Computer modeling is now an integral part of research in evolutionary biology. The advent of increased processing power in the personal computer, coupled with the availability of languages such as R, SPLUS, Mathematica, Maple, Mathcad, and MATLAB, has ensured that the development and analysis of computer models of evolution is now within the...

Molecular and Diagnostic Procedures in Mycoplasmology: Diagnostic Procedures, Volume II

Academic Press, 1996

This book and its companion, Volume I, concentrate on new procedures--especially those based on the new molecular methodology--developed within the past decade. This volume deals with the new genetic and immunological tools applied to the diagnosis of mycoplasma infections of humans, animals, plants, insects, and all cultures....

Big Questions in Ecology and Evolution (Oxford Biology)

Oxford University Press, 2009

Why do we age? Why cooperate? Why do so many species engage in sex? Why do the tropics have so many species? When did humans start to affect world climate?

This book provides an introduction to a range of fundamental questions that have taxed evolutionary biologists and ecologists for decades. Some of the phenomena discussed are, on...

Handbook of Educational Data Mining (CRC Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery Series)

CRC Press, 2010

The goal of this book is to provide an overview of the current state of knowledge of educational data mining (EDM). The primary goal of EDM is to use large-scale educational data sets to better understand learning and to provide information about the learning process. Although researchers have been studying human learning for over a...

Community-Acquired Pneumonia (Birkh?user Advances in Infectious Diseases)

Birkhauser, 2007

Community-acquired pneumonia is a disease of high morbidity and mortality. Demographic changes in industrialised countries with a growing population of elderly persons will add to its significance. In the last years much progress in the field of community-acquired pneumonia has been achieved. Vaccination programs against...

Genes, Development and Cancer: The Life and Work of Edward B. Lewis

Springer, 2007

While Edward B. (‘Ed’) Lewis is famous for his contributions to genetics and developmental biology, few have read his research papers. One reason for this is availability, many having been published in obscure journals or as book chapters. A second is because his papers in those fields are very difficult to read. The...
