DNA Nanoscience From Prebiotic Origins to Emerging Nanotechnology

DNA Nanoscience From Prebiotic Origins to Emerging Nanotechnology

DNA Nanoscience: From Prebiotic Origins to Emerging Nanotechnology melds two tales of DNA. One is a look at the first 35 years of DNA nanotechnology to better appreciate what lies ahead in this emerging field. The other story looks back 4 billion years to the possible origins of DNA which are shrouded in mystery. The book is divided into three parts comprised of 15 chapters and two Brief Interludes. Part I includes subjects underpinning the book such as a primer on DNA the broader discipline of nanoscience and experimental tools used by the principals in the narrative. Part II examines the field of structural DNA nanotechnology founded by biochemist/crystallographer Nadrian Seeman that uses DNA as a construction material for nanoscale structures and devices rather than as a genetic material. Part III looks at the work of physicists Noel Clark and Tommaso Bellini who found that short DNA (nanoDNA) forms liquid crystals that act as a structural gatekeeper orchestrating a series of self-assembly processes using nanoDNA. This led to an explanation of the polymeric structure of DNA and of how life may have emerged from the prebiotic clutter. | DNA Nanoscience From Prebiotic Origins to Emerging Nanotechnology

Total Parenteral Nutrition in the Hospital and at Home

Total Parenteral Nutrition in the Hospital and at Home

It is therefore obvious that good patient management necessitates the use of an alternative route of nutritional support in patients unable to eat or absorb an oral diet. This alternative is parenteral nutrition which is the subject of this book. While there are many texts on the subject of parenteral nutrition very few if any are directed to the practical details of organizing the delivery of parenteral nutrition from a multidisciplinary point of view. In this publication we present the practice of parenteral nutrition as viewed by a team of a physician nurse and pharmacist. | Total Parenteral Nutrition in the Hospital and at Home

Fundamentals of Systems Biology From Synthetic Circuits to Whole-cell Models

Fundamentals of Systems Biology From Synthetic Circuits to Whole-cell Models

For decades biology has focused on decoding cellular processes one gene at a time but many of the most pressing biological questions as well as diseases such as cancer and heart disease are related to complex systems involving the interaction of hundreds or even thousands of gene products and other factors. How do we begin to understand this complexity? Fundamentals of Systems Biology: From Synthetic Circuits to Whole-cell Models introduces students to methods they can use to tackle complex systems head-on carefully walking them through studies that comprise the foundation and frontier of systems biology. The first section of the book focuses on bringing students quickly up to speed with a variety of modeling methods in the context of a synthetic biological circuit. This innovative approach builds intuition about the strengths and weaknesses of each method and becomes critical in the book‘s second half where much more complicated network models are addressed including transcriptional signaling metabolic and even integrated multi-network models. The approach makes the work much more accessible to novices (undergraduates medical students and biologists new to mathematical modeling) while still having much to offer experienced modelers-whether their interests are microbes organs whole organisms diseases synthetic biology or just about any field that investigates living systems. | Fundamentals of Systems Biology From Synthetic Circuits to Whole-cell Models

Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods

Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods

For more than 30 years soil testing has been widely used as a basis for determining lime and fertilizer needs. Today a number of procedures are used for determining everything from soil pH and lime requirement to the level of extractable nutrient elements. And as the number of cropped fields being tested increases more and more farmers and growers will come to rely on soil test results. But if soil testing is to be an effective means of evaluating the fertility status of soils standardization of methodology is essential. No single test is appropriate for all soils. Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods is a standard laboratory technique manual for the most commonly used soil analysis procedures. First published in 1974 this Handbook has changed over the years to reflect evolving needs. New test methods and modifications have been added as well as new sections on nitrate heavy metals and quality assurance plans for agricultural testing laboratories.

Originally it was our intention to produce a single-volume book covering all aspects and approaches to the problem of specific inhibitors of respiratory viruses. However as the work progressed it became obvious that certain chapters because of the research interests of the authors concentrated particularly on influenza viruses. It seemed logical therefore to divide the book into two volumes the first emphasizing influenza and the second concentrating on other viruses as well as discussing important general aspects of drug screening and clinical testing although the second volume does have some chapters which deal mainly with influenza. | Chemoprophylaxis and Virus Infections of the Respiratory Tract Volume 2
