This reference book compiles the recent advances in computational and experimental modeling to screen and manage Alzheimer's disease. The book discusses how computer-aided drug design approaches reduce costs and increase biological test efficiency.

This edited volume presents an international collection of fieldwork experiences from every stage of the research process with a view to normalising the process of adaptation, modification, and even failure during the fieldwork process when circumstances...

The polyphyletic Protozoa have explored the possibility of performing almost all metazoan functions with a few subcellular organelles. Their unicellularity and structural simplicity have (i) limited diversity to 32,950 species, (ii) restricted spatial...

Book 3 of The Code of Opposites (TCO for short) furthers the mission to heal our authority issues, and thus to shift from the ego's need to dominate into wholesome power. While Book 1 focused on "no push-pull" and Book 2 looked at "no self-doubt," Book 3...

A thorough update of Arnett's The Beetles of the United States, American Beetles, Volumes I and II cover the genera of beetles that occur in Alaska, Canada, and the contiguous United States. Built on the foundation of the original work and almost...

Neuroplasticity, Development, and Steroid Hormone Action explores the effects of steroid hormones on brain development, function, and aging and is a compilation of cutting-edge research of concern to the disciplines of neurobiology, neuroendocrinology,...

Evolution.It is not a question of if, but a question of how.Commonly accepted, Darwin’s Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection leaves unanswered some fundamental questions.How did life originate?How did the DNA code originate?How did...

Over the last century, the world has lived through changes more rapid than those experienced at any other time in human history, leading to pressing environmental problems and demands on the world's finite resources. Nowhere is this more evident than...

This detailed exposition gives background and context to how modern biogeography has got to where it is now. For biogeographers and other researchers interested in biodiversity and the evolution of life on islands, Biogeology: Evolution in a Changing...

This book is really helpful for someone who wants to start learning about genes and DNA. It is a well-written book describing all the introductory materials one would need to become current with genomes and genomics topics. It begins with an introduction...

Aging is one of the most universal and inevitable social and sci­ entific challenges confronting man. The lives of all multicellular organisms begin with conception, extend through phases of development, maturity, senescence...

Dramatic shortfalls in crop production in various regions of the world have led some people to question the relatively inefficient use of cereal grains for feeding meat animals instead of their direct use for human food. There...

That residues of pesticide and other "foreign" chemicals in food­ stuffs are of concern to everyone everywhere is amply attested by the reception accorded previous volumes of "Residue Reviews" and by the gratifying enthusiasm,...

The explosive accumulation of new knowledge in the biological sciences in the last decades has advanced our understanding of the basic mechanisms that underlie most biological phenomena. These advances, however, have not been...

The Cary Conferences, as we have envisaged them, are different from most scientific meetings in that they provide a forum for major issues in ecology from a more philosophical point of view. It appears to many of us that...

​Waves in Neural Media: From Single Neurons to Neural Fields surveys mathematical models of traveling waves in the brain, ranging from intracellular waves in single neurons to waves of activity in large-scale brain networks. The work provides a...

Human development from birth through adulthood is a complex interplay of many interacting forces. Children's internal processes are manifest in behaviors that are sculpted by their experiences, most notably with primary caregivers. Because the discipline...
