Advances in Bioengineering
(2015)
The technological approach and the high level of innovation make bioengineering extremely dynamic and this forces researchers to continuous updating. It involves the publication of the results of the latest scientific ...
Management of CNS Tumors
(2011)
Management of CNS Tumors is a selected review of Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors with particular emphasis on pathological classification and complex treatment algorithms for each common tumor type. Additional detailed ...
Chapter 13 Modelling Seismic Wave Propagation for Geophysical Imaging
(2012)
The Earth is an heterogeneous complex media from the mineral composition scale (10−6m) to the global scale ( 106m). The reconstruction of its structure is a quite challenging problem because sampling methodologies are ...
Seismic Waves - Research and Analysis
(2012)
The importance of seismic wave research lies not only in our ability to understand and predict earthquakes and tsunamis, it also reveals information on the Earth's composition and features in much the same way as it led ...
Chapter 31 Central Immune Senescence, Reversal Potentials
(2012)
Ageing is a complex process that affects all living organisms. Senescence is not only conceivable in multicellular organisms, but also in unicellulars. Unlike certain diseases that
have specific morbidity rates, ageing ...
Chapter 11 Metabolomics in the Analysis of Inflammatory Diseases
(2012)
Most infections and traumatic injuries are cleared or repaired relatively rapidly and metabolic homoeostasis is soon restored. However, there is a broad range of inflammatory
diseases which involve chronic activation of ...
Chapter 14 Coupled Enzyme Activity and Thermal Shift Screening of the Maybridge Rule of 3 Fragment Library Against Trypanosoma brucei Choline Kinase; A Genetically Validated Drug Target
(2013)
In this study we interrogate 630 compounds of the Maybridge Rule of 3 Fragment Library for compounds that interact with, and inhibit TbCK. The Maybridge Rule of 3 Fragment Library is a small collection of quantifiable ...
Anopheles mosquitoes
(2013)
Anopheles mosquitoes are highly important insects due to their involvement in the transmission of human malaria and its devastating consequences in endemic countries worldwide. In 2010 alone, malaria was responsible for ...
Metabolomics
(2012)
Metabolomics is a rapidly emerging field in life sciences, which aims to identify and quantify metabolites in a biological system. Analytical chemistry is combined with sophisticated informatics and statistics tools to ...
Applications of Monte Carlo Methods in Biology, Medicine and Other Fields of Science
(2011)
This volume is an eclectic mix of applications of Monte Carlo methods in many fields of research should not be surprising, because of the ubiquitous use of these methods in many fields of human endeavor. In an attempt to ...
Senescence
(2012)
The book "Senescence" is aimed to describe all the phenomena related to aging and senescence of all forms of life on Earth, i.e. plants, animals and the human beings. The book contains 36 carefully reviewed chapters written ...
Chapter 4 Applications of Monte Carlo Simulation in Modelling of Biochemical Processes
(2012)
The biochemical models describing complex and dynamic metabolic systems are typically multi-parametric and non-linear, thus the identification of their parameters requires nonlinear
regression analysis of the experimental ...
Chapter 5 Computational Analysis and Integration of MeDIP-seq Methylome Data
(2016)
The combinatorial number of possible methylomes in biological time and space is astronomical. Consequently, the computational analysis of methylomes needs to cater for a variety of data, throughput and resolution. Here, ...
Chapter 8 Highlights on Anopheles nili and Anopheles moucheti, Malaria Vectors in Africa
(2013)
In this chapter, we review knowledge gained so far on mosquitoes from An. moucheti and closely related species, as well as the An. nili complex. We highlight specific bionomical, ecological and genetic attributes that ...
Next Generation Sequencing - Advances, Applications and Challenges
(2016)
Next generation sequencing (NGS) has surpassed the traditional Sanger sequencing method to become the main choice for large-scale, genome-wide sequencing studies with ultra-high-throughput production and a huge reduction ...
Drug Discovery
(2013)
Natural products are a constant source of potentially active compounds for the treatment of various disorders. The Middle East and tropical regions are believed to have the richest supplies of natural products in the world. ...
Happiness and the Psychology of Enlightenment
(2025)
Whilst happiness usually comes from how we think and feel about our life (eventbased wellbeing), enlightenment is an internal experience not sourced from this process (inner wellbeing). In this volume, we look from a ...
