Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book highlights the significance of the plant sources of serotonin and melatonin in the fields of medicine, agriculture and food science.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The genomes of many individuals can be assembled and analyzed using convenient and widely available computer programs running on every desktop or laptop computer. This rapid development has resulted in an entirely new sub-discipline of evolutionary biology called 'phylogenomics,' the integration of phylogenetic sequencing data and analyses implemented using entire genomes. This book introduces the principles and practices of phylogenomics, making it available to a broad cross-section of evolutionary biologists, systematists, organismal biologists, conservationists, and ecologists.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The authors propose to edit a thought-provoking assessment of widely accepted assumptions impeding progress in comparative biology. The volume will be inspired (but not strictly based on) by a symposium to be held at the annual JMIH. The basis of the book will be a list of these impeding assumptions generated 30 years ago, which has assumed almost legendary status among comparative evolutionary biologists. A perusal of the list reveals a set of assumptions with continued relevance. The chapters will not necessarily be data driven. The contents of the book should be relevant to any comparative biologist and the contents should be provocative for any biologist.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This volume describes the theory and methods of environmental risk assessment, the use of environmental effect, fate and hazard information in risk management of chemicals and contaminated land, explains why an integrated assessment is needed both for the risk of chemicals and polluted sites. Efficient tools such as early warning and environmental monitoring with special sensors, or in situ measurements and decision making, modeling and mapping are discussed in details. A nanotechnology method, using the special molecule of cyclodextrin, is introduced as a versatile tool in environmental assessment and monitoring.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Over the past several decades there has been increasing research interest in thermodynamics as applied to biological systems. This concerns topics such as muscle work and internal energy such as fat and starch. Applications of the first and second laws of thermodynamics to the human body are important to dieticians and health science experts, and applications of these concepts to the animal body are a major concern of animal scientists. This book covers these key topics, which are typically not covered in classic or traditional thermodynamics texts used in mechanical and chemical engineering.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Public Transport Planning with Smart Card Data handles three major topics: how passenger behaviour can be estimated using smart card data, how smart card data can be combined with other trip databases, and how the public transport service level can be better evaluated if smart card data is available. The book discusses theory as well as applications from cities around the world and will be of interest to researchers and practitioners alike who are interested in the state-of-the-art as well as future perspectives that smart card data will bring.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Regulatory agencies worldwide have issued directives or such requirements for air quality standards in embryology laboratories. This practical guide reviews the application of clean room technology or controlled environments specifically suited for Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Units. Its comprehensive coverage includes material on airborne particles and volatile organic compounds, including basic concepts, regulation, construction, materials, certification, clinical results in humans, and more.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The growing mobility needs of travellers have led to the development of increasingly complex and integrated multi-modal transit networks. A pre-condition for the development of an effective multi-modal transit system is the integration of ICT tools that will support the needs of transit operators and travellers. To achieve this, reliable real-time simulation and short-term forecasting of passenger demand and service network conditions are required to provide both real-time traveller information and synchronised transit service planning and operations control. Modelling Intelligent Multi-Modal Transit Systems introduces the current trends in this newly emerging area.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book describes basic to moderately advanced mathematical techniques useful for shaping the model-based analysis of chemical and biological engineering systems. Covering an ideal balance of basic mathematical principles and applications to physico-chemical problems, the text presents examples drawn from recent literature on chemical engineering, biological and biomedical engineering, food processing, and a variety of diffusional problems to demonstrate the real-world value of the mathematical methods. Emphasis is placed on the background and physical understanding of the problems to prepare students for future challenging and innovative applications.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This graduate text also suits software developers in computational mechanics. It explores the numerical algorithms underpinning finite element software, covering all the major numerical methods used in computational mechanics. It runs from the basics of linear algebra and matrix theory to advanced topics, illustrated with numerical examples.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The ultimate objective of this book is to provide the academic and industrial communities with an in-depth introduction to the recent advances in development, theory, and impacts of Big Data, tailored to applications in complex and social networks. Specifically, the book focuses on how to retrieve, store, manipulate and analyze data and how to develop new tools and techniques to study and visualize massive datasets in the domain of complex and social networks.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Drugs are used in the diagnosis, alleviation, treatment, prevention or cure of disease. This is a book about drugs, how they came to be, and how they exert their 'magic'. Today we have drugs to protect against infectious diseases, to alleviate aches and pains, to allow new organs to replace the old, and for brain functions to be modified. Yet, for the most part the manner by which drugs are developed and by whom remains a mystery. Drugs are more than just a pill or liquid and some have markedly altered the path of civilization. The author has selected a sampling -- drugs that represent milestones in affecting our well-being and influenced social change.
