Overview: A gripping, hard science fiction novel on the theme of synthetic genomics.Contains a comprehensive non-technical overview of the science underlying the plot.Authored by an expert scientist with experi.Carolyn’s parents did not, after all, make genomics history by synthesizing her genome in a lab. She has known she is the "Human Hoax" ever since a high school genetics exercise revealed she has trisomy X—a chromosomal abnormality—yet no synthetically constructed genome would have such clear traces of natural conception. Many years later, as molecular biologist, she hopes her colleagues

Overview: Adhesion molecules are of fundamental importance in the regulation of immunity, inflammation, tissue remodeling, and embryonic development. They comprise different families of homologous proteins, such as selectins, integrins, cadherins, and immunoglobins. In addition, beyond these groups, other str- tures with adhesive properties, such as proteoglycans, occludin, and CD44, have been characterized recently. An understanding of the type and characteristics of adhesive molecules expressed by the different cell types and the possibility of manipulating their activity promises considerab

Overview: Details ‘real world’ applications of Systems Thinking and Soft OR to support various domains.Shows that many situations consist of complex systems of changing problems that interact with each other, w.This book captures current trends and developments in the field of systems thinking and soft operations research which can be applied to solve today‘s problems of dynamic complexity and interdependency. Such ‘wicked problems’ and messes are seemingly intractable problems characterized as value-laden, ambiguous, and unstable, that resist being tamed by classical problem solving. Actions

Its aim was to unify the picture of contemporary intellige

Overview: This book is different to previously published books focused on urban birds as it focuses in Latin America, a highly diverse understudied area.It includes a review–perspective–textbook approach that w.This book gathers a representative sample of the relevant knowledge related to the ecology, behavior, and conservation of birds in urban Latin America. Latin America is one of the most biodiverse regions of the world, yet it is still understudied. Although it concentrates most of its population in rapidly growing cities under considerable economic, social, and environmental disparity, t

Thus, the study of inverse problems is an integral part of computational engineering/science. This book presents several aspects of inverse problems along wi

Overview: Attribute sind nicht nur formal und semantisch außerordentlich vielfältig, sie übernehmen vielmehr auch sehr unterschiedliche kommunikative Funktionen in verschiedenen Textsorten und letztendlich gesellschaftlichen Diskursen. Diese Funktions- und Verwendungsvielfalt ist in der Sprachdidaktik bisher noch nicht gebührend in den Blick genommen worden. Ausgehend von diesem Desiderat der Sprachdidaktik wird im vorliegenden Band Attribution als syntaktisch komplexer Prozess, bei dem unterschiedliche Typologien von Attributen realisiert werden, aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven beleuchtet.

Through an examination of intimate relationships within indenture narratives, this text traces the seductive hierarchies of empire – the oppressive ideologies of gender, ethnicity, and class that developed under imperialism and indenture and tha

Overview: The primary object of the lecture notes is to develop a treatment of association schemes analogous to that which has been so successful in the theory of finite groups. The main chapters are decomposition theory, representation theory, and the theory of generators. Tits buildings come into play when the theory of generators is developed. Here, the buildings play the role which, in group theory, is played by the Coxeter groups. - The text is intended for students as well as for researchers in algebra, in particular in algebraic combinatorics.978-3-540-61400-5978-3-540-68523-4Series ISS
