Biological Interactions Of Sulfur Compounds

CRC Press, 1996

This text focuses on the biological interactions of sulphur compounds which arise specifically from the presence of the sulphur atom within the molecule. The book opens with introductory chapters on the chemistry and biology of sulphur, before tackling the field by introducing compounds which share a common chemical combination. In general,...

Rare Event Simulation using Monte Carlo Methods

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

In a probabilistic model, a rare event is an event with a very small probability of occurrence. The forecasting of rare events is a formidable task but is important in many areas. For instance a catastrophic failure in a transport system or in a nuclear power plant, the failure of an information processing system in a bank, or in the communication...

Endocannabinoids: The Brain and Body's Marijuana and Beyond

CRC Press, 2005

Over the past decade, there have been major advances in understanding the mechanisms whereby marijuana interacts with the brain in producing psychoactive and potentially therapeutic effects. The discovery of specific gene coding for cannabinoid receptors activated by smoking marijuana, and the finding of endogenous cannabinoids, which...

BioMEMS and Biomedical Nanotechnology

Springer, 2006

Numerous miniaturized DNA microarray, DNA chip, Lab on a Chip and biosensor devices have been developed and commercialized. Such devices are improving theway many important genomic and proteomic analyses are performed in both research and clinical diagnostic laboratories. The development of these technologies was enabled by a...

Pancreatic Cancer: Methods and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Medicine)

Humana Press, 2004

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Annually approximately 30,000 Americans are diagnosed with the disease and most will die from it within five years. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is unique because of its late onset in age, high mortality, small tumor samples...

The Compatibility Gene: How Our Bodies Fight Disease, Attract Others, and Define Our Selves

Oxford University Press, 2013

This is the story of a few human genes and how we discovered what these genes do. We each have around 25,000 genes, but the genes in this story are those that vary the most from person to person. These genes--called compatibility genes--are, in effect, a molecular signature that distinguishes each of us as individuals. Davis tells the...

Genomics, Proteomics and Vaccines

John Wiley & Sons, 2004

While the sequence of the human genome sequence has hit the headlines, extensive exploitation of this for practical applications is still to come. Genomic and post-genomic technologies applied to viral and bacterial pathogens, which are almost equally important from a scientific perspective, have the potential to be translated into useful...
