Overview: Explores historical perspectives on non-human hosts and vectors of disease, exploring how the framing of animals as ‘epidemic villains’ has shaped medicine and public health.Chapters cover a range of .This book takes a historical and anthropological approach to understanding how non-human hosts and vectors of diseases are understood, at a time when emerging infectious diseases are one of the central concerns of global health. The volume critically examines the ways in which animals have come to be framed as ‘epidemic villains’ since the turn of the nineteenth century. Providing epist

Overview: " .. .1 always worked with programming languages because it seemed to me that until you could understand those, you really couldn‘t understand computers. Understanding them doesn‘t really mean only being able to use them. A lot of people can use them without understanding them." Christopher Strachey The development of programming languages is one of the finest intellectual achievements of the new discipline called Computer Science. And yet, there is no other subject that I know of, that has such emotionalism and mystique associated with it. Thus my attempt to write about this highly

Overview: New method of dealing with imprecise probabilities, most of which not published beforeIn probability and statistics we often have to estimate probabilities and parameters in probability distributions using a random sample. Instead of using a point estimate calculated from the data we propose using fuzzy numbers which are constructed from a set of confidence intervals. In probability calculations we apply constrained fuzzy arithmetic because probabilities must add to one. Fuzzy random variables have fuzzy distributions. A fuzzy normal random variable has the normal distribution with f

Overview: A concise, easy-to-follow text, serving as a valuable introduction to contemporary cell biology and offering insight into the key research directions in the field.Introduces the current big bio-databaToday, as hundreds of genomes have been sequenced and thousands of proteins and more than ten thousand metabolites have been identi?ed, navigating safely through this wealth of information without getting completely lost has become crucial for research in, and teaching of, molecular biology. Consequently, a considerable number of tools have been developed and put on the market in the las

Overview: First attempt to incorporate object membership and typicality in computational ontologies.Application in recommender systems.Multiple illustrating examples.Knowledge Representation plays an essential role in Semantic Web, in particular in automated information processing and communications among software agents.  This book, entitled "Fuzzy Computational Ontologies in Contexts: Formal Models of Knowledge Representation with Membership Degree and Typicality, and Their Applications", discusses knowledge representation in Semantic Web.  It introduces the relevant background knowledge, mo

Overview: Since this book was first published in 1985, tremendous changes have taken place in the field of online searching. Thus a second edition was truely over­ due. Dr. Hedda Schulz, author of the first edition, found a most competent and renowned searcher as her co-author in the person of Dr. Ursula Georgy. The authors have undertaken an enormous task. As a result of their efforts, a convincing handbook had been written. It will reliably serve newcomers and experts alike it is an instruction manual as well as a reference book. The importance of modem information handling has been advanced

Overview: Includes cutting-edge methods and protocols.Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results.Contains key notes and implementation advice from the expertsThis volume provides an overview of experimental procedures and state-of art methods to investigate FOXOs. Chapters guide readers through biochemical and molecular methods, imaging approaches to monitor the subcellular localization of FOXO factors, omics and bioinformatics approaches, different animal models used in FOXO research, and human studies to investigate the role of FOXO factors in human disease and longevity

Overview: offers an original and provocative approach to the ethical analysis of technological risk.presents an update of the most frequently cited philosophical book on agrifood biotechnology.is written in non.Agrifood biotechnology – the genetic transformation of plants and animals through recombinant means – has created controversy in the food system for more than twenty years. This thoroughly revised and amended edition of Paul B. Thompson’s path breaking study of ethical and philosophical issues raised by this technology up to date.

Overview: On August 18, 1977 a special ‘Soddy Session‘ was held at the Fifteenth International Congress of the History of Science, Edinburgh, Scotland, with Dr. Thaddeus J. Trenn as Symposium Chairman. This session was organized to commemorate the lOOth anniversary of the birth of Fre­ derick Soddy (born September 2, 1877, Eastbourne, England; died September 22, 1956, Brighton, England), who was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Chemistry ‘for his contributions to our knowledge of the chemistry of radioactive substances, and his investigations into the origin and nature of isotopes‘. Soddy taugh

Overview: Comprehensive account on Theoretical Nuclear Physics for advanced students.Systematic step-by-step approach to basic tools of nuclear structure physics.Detailed derivation of nuclear models.Self-conta.From Nucleons to Nucleus deals with single-particle and collective features of spherical nuclei. Each nuclear model is introduced and derived in detail. The formalism is then applied to light and medium-heavy nuclei in worked-out examples, and finally the acquired skills are strengthened by a wide selection of exercises, many relating the models to experimental data. For consistency, th

Overview: Coincides with new material coming in the 40th anniversary of fuzzy theory and technologyIn order to properly characterize the content of this book, it is important to clarify ?rst the intended meaning of its title Fuzzy Logic. This clari?cation is needed since the term “fuzzy logic,” as currently used in the literature, is viewed either in a narrow sense or in a broad sense. In the narrow sense, fuzzy logic is viewed as an area devoted to the formal development, in a u- ?ed way, of the various logical systems of many-valued logic. It is concerned withformalizingsyntactic aspects(bas
