Springer Nature Switzerland AG Mathematical Modelling of Haemodialysis:
Book SynopsisBeginning with an introduction to kidney function, renal replacement therapies, and an overview of clinical problems associated with haemodialysis, this book explores the principles of the short-term baroreflex regulation of the cardiovascular system and the mechanisms of water and solute transport across the human body from a mathematical model perspective. It synthesizes theoretical physiological concepts and practical aspects of mathematical modelling needed for simulation and quantitative analysis of the haemodynamic response to dialysis therapy.Including an up-to-date review of the literature concerning the modelled physiological mechanisms and processes, the book serves both as an overview of transport and regulatory mechanisms related to the cardiovascular system and body fluids and as a useful reference for the study and development of mathematical models of dynamic physiological processes.Mathematical Modelling of Haemodialysis: Cardiovascular Response, Body Fluid Shifts, and Solute Kinetics is intended for researchers and graduate students in biomedical engineering, physiology, or medicine interested in mathematical modelling of cardiovascular dynamics and fluid and solute transport across the human body, both under physiological conditions and during haemodialysis therapy.Table of ContentsContents1.

De Gruyter The Autotrophic Biorefinery: Raw Materials from
Book SynopsisThe depletion of fossil resources and an ever-growing human population create an increasing demand for the development of sustainable processes for the utilization of renewable resources. As autotrophic microorganisms offer numerous metabolic pathways for the fixation of carbon dioxide and the metabolic utilization of light, electricity and inorganic energy donors, they are expected to play a pivotal role in an emerging carbon neutral society. This text-book presents the metabolic principles of autotrophy and current efforts for their utilization in biotechnology, including photoautotrophic, chemolithoautotrophic and electroautotrophic organisms. It outlines how modern molecular biology and process engineering create technologies that allow to use industrial off-gases and inorganic energy for the synthesis of bio-based plastics, materials and other chemical products. The text-book is ideally suited for students in advanced graduate and master courses and offers a reference for PhD students, engineers, chemists, biologists and all with an interests in biotechnology and renewable resources.

University of California Press Animal Ethos
Book SynopsisWhat kinds of moral challenges arise from encounters between species in laboratory science?Animal Ethosdraws on ethnographic engagement with academic labs in which experimental research involving nonhuman species provokes difficult questions involving life and death, scientific progress, and other competing quandaries. Whereas much has been written on core bioethical values that inform regulated behavior in labs, Lesley A. Sharp reveals the importance of attending to lab personnel's quotidian and unscripted responses to animals.Animal Ethos exposes the richyet poorly understoodmoral dimensions of daily lab life, where serendipitous, creative, and unorthodox responses are evidence of concerted efforts by researchers, animal technicians, veterinarians, and animal activists to transform animal laboratories into moral scientific worlds.Trade Review"This book is crucial for anyone seeking to understand how researchers and lab technicians think about what they are doing when they work with animals fated to die at the end of their usefulness in producing data." * Medical Anthropology Quarterly *"This book will be of clear substantive interest to social science and humanities scholars of experimental science and laboratory animals, while also being of general interest to anthropologists as well as medical sociologists of emotions, invisible work as well as death and dying." * Anthropology Book Forum *Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Acknowledgments Introduction: Moral Entanglements in Experimental Animal Science Accessing Animal Science Everyday Morality in Laboratory Practice The Boundaries of Interspecies Encounters The Parameters of Ethnographic Engagement part i: intimacy 1.

MD - Duke University Press Lively Capital
Book SynopsisThis collection of anthropology of science essays explores the new forms of capital, markets, ethical, legal, and intellectual property concerns associated with new forms of research in the life sciences.Trade Review“Lively Capital is a terrific collection of essays, an important endeavor which will garner serious attention not only in anthropology and science technology studies but across the human sciences. It will be as widely read as any anthology I can imagine, because of the sharpness of its essays and the diversity of its approaches to the challenges of rethinking the relations of life, capital, and value more generally.”—Lawrence Cohen, author of No Aging in India: Alzheimer’s, the Bad Family, and Other Modern Things"Lively Capital is a terrific collection of essays, an important endeavor which will garner serious attention not only in anthropology and science and technology studies but across the human sciences.

Arcler Education Inc Essentials of Bioinformatics: An Introduction for
Book SynopsisOver the course of the last few decades, the incorporation of genetics, genomics, proteomics, and statistics into the field of bioinformatics has had a significant impact on both the field of biology and the field of medicine. The primary application for it is in assisting with the modeling, forecasting, and analysis of enormous amounts of multidimensional biological data utilizing the most recent and cutting-edge computational technologies. The majority of life science students and researchers do not have the skills necessary to make effective use of this sophisticated technology, which is why bioinformatics is not yet widely incorporated in academic courses despite the fact that it holds enormous promise. This book was written after realizing that there was a void in the market for a resource that could provide students and researchers with prior knowledge of the biosciences with a place to begin their studies. The book is an excellent resource that students and young professionals can use in their pursuit of knowledge on this ever-changing topic.Table of Contents Chapter 1 Elements of Biology Chapter 2 History of Bioinformatics Chapter 3 Integral Component of Bioinformatics Chapter 4 Types of Biological Data?
