The series ‘‘Springer Theses’’ brings together a selection of the very best Ph.D.
theses from around the world and across the physical sciences. Nominated and
endorsed by two recognized specialists, each published volume has been selected
for its scientific excellence and the high impact of its contents for...
Mathematical and computational biology is playing an increasingly important role in the biological sciences. This science brings forward unique challenges, many of which are, at the moment, beyond the theoretical techniques available. Developmental biology, due to its complexity, has lagged somewhat behind its sister disciplines (such as...
With an abundance of illustrations, diagrams, and algorithms for a reader-friendly review of critical material, this Sixth Edition is fully updated and revised to clearly update and explore current diagnostic and clinical applications of immunology, as well as strategies for the modulation of immune response and the treatment of...
Interest in clinical cardiovascular imaging has skyrocketed over the past quarter
century. Dozens of new imaging modalities have arisen from advances in the physical
sciences, electrical engineering, information technology, chemical synthesis,
and in pharmacology. Mostly driven by newly developed technology, these
advances have...
Do you want to recognize the most suitable models for analysis of statistical data sets?
This book provides a hands-on practical guide to using the most suitable models for analysis of statistical data sets using EViews - an interactive Windows-based computer software program for sophisticated data analysis, regression, and...
A playful and entertaining look at science on The Simpsons
This amusing book explores science as presented on the longest-running and most popular animated TV series ever made: The Simpsons. Over the years, the show has examined such issues as genetic mutation, time travel, artificial intelligence, and even aliens....
30 years after its discovery as an antitumor agent, cisplatin represents today one of the most successful drugs in chemotherapy. This book is intended to reminisce this event, to take inventory, and to point out new lines of development in this field. Divided in 6 sections and 22 chapters, the book provides an up-to-date account on topics...
Scientific computing is about developing mathematical models, numerical
methods and computer implementations to study and solve real problems in science,
engineering, business and even social sciences. Mathematical modeling requires
deep understanding of classical numerical methods. There are a number of
commercial and open...
Everyone relies on the power of computers, including chemical
and pharmaceutical laboratories. Increasingly faster and more exact
simulation algorithms have made quantum chemistry a valuable
tool in the search for bioactive substances. The much larger
computational cost is more than compensated by a deeper understanding
of...
This book is written to provide in-depth and current information on the
molecular basis of fibrotic diseases in various tissues and organs. Why do we need a
new book on fibrosis? Several currently available books on fibrosis are mostly
devoted to specific tissue or organ systems; in contrast, this book is especially
designed to...
The history of medicine has been substantially defined by a small number of monumental
discoveries. Most of these breakthroughs have emerged from the biological sciences. One of
the first great breakthroughs was the recognition by Koch in 1884 that pathogens could be
transmitted from one living organism to another to cause disease....
Written by an acknowledged expert in the field, this book is an invaluable introductory guide for students studying chemistry, biochemistry and medicine. Provides a simple description of how aspects of molecular patholgy affect diseases.
It is my pleasure to acknowledge the enthusiasm and expertise
of the chapter authors who...
