 English | 2021 | ISBN: 3110709449 | 278 pages | True PDF EPUB | 328.57 MB Biological systems have always inspired mankind in the creation of new systems and technologies. In recent years the interface between the biological and non-biological worlds appears increasingly blurred due to significant advances both in our understanding of biological phenomena, as well as the development of sophisticated means to manipulate molecular systems for varied applications. Biomimetics as a distinct discipline shows how biology and biological processes are manifested in diverse aspects of chemistry, physics and engineering. This book aims to methodically describe artificial and synthetic assemblies mimicking biological and living systems - from biomaterials to drug discovery to microelectronics and computer sciences.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 1032069007 | 238 pages | True PDF | 9.5 MB Biomethane through resource circularity: Research, Technology and Practices is an invaluable resource for researchers, policy makers, implementers and PhD and Marsters level students in universities analyzing the present status, waste biomass including agro wastes, success in experimentation & commercial production, future needs and other relevant areas. While huge biomass is wasted by open burning, there is potential of energy generation that can be extracted from the biomass preventing GHG emission and creating business opportunities. Abundance and renewable bioenergy can contribute to a more secure, sustainable, and economically sound future through biomethanation process by selecting followings  English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030877787 | 350 pages | True PDF EPUB | 132.7 MB This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries, ICADL 2015, held in Seoul, South Korea, in December 2015.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 1439839689 | 371 pages | True PDF | 31.76 MB Biomedical Applications of Magnetic Particlesdiscusses fundamental magnetic nanoparticle physics and chemistry and explores important biomedical applications and future challenges.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 978-0367354084,036735408X | 219 pages | True PDF | 11.95 MB Due to its depletion and the environmental damage it causes, hydrocarbons are being replaced by energy from renewable sources. One such form of energy source is Biomass. Biomass is a renewable raw material generated by living organisms and found in agricultural waste in large quantities. The three main components of biomass are cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. The first two components are sugar polymers, being cellulosic ethanol a desirable goal for converting those. The truth is that the production of cellulosic ethanol has never passed the pilot unit phase, due to the lack of economic competitiveness. New ways must be found to make this viable. From the latest finding of the biomass structure, new biomass processing pathways are being advanced, constituting new biorefinery models, which will make it possible to obtain cellulosic ethanol concomitant with the production of different bioproducts such as xylitol, oligosaccharides, antioxidants and analogues to carbon fiber, etc.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 1789248108 | 321 pages | True PDF EPUB | 13.2 MB As a species, the German cockroach is one of the most widespread indoor urban pests worldwide. While numerous products have been developed to control their spread, German cockroaches continue to contaminate food, transmit disease and cause significant, long-term economic expense to homes, restaurants, hospitals and more.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 9811240116 | 462 pages | True PDF | 17.77 MB This book provides the research directions for new or junior researchers who are going to use machine learning approaches for biological pattern discovery. The book was written based on the research experience of the author's several research projects in collaboration with biologists worldwide. The chapters are organised to address individual biological pattern discovery problems. For each subject, the research methodologies and the machine learning algorithms which can be employed are introduced and compared. Importantly, each chapter was written with the aim to help the readers to transfer their knowledge in theory to practical implementation smoothly. Therefore, the R programming environment was used for each subject in the chapters. The author hopes that this book can inspire new or junior researchers' interest in biological pattern discovery using machine learning algorithms.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 1032123699 | 469 pages | True PDF | 200.3 MB Bioinformatics: A Practical Guide to NCBI Databases and Sequence Alignmentsprovides the basics of bioinformatics and in-depth coverage of NCBI databases, sequence alignment, and NCBI Sequence Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST). As bioinformatics has become essential for life sciences, the book has been written specifically to address the need of a large audience including undergraduates, graduates, researchers, healthcare professionals, and bioinformatics professors who need to use the NCBI databases, retrieve data from them, and use BLAST to find evolutionarily related sequences, sequence annotation, construction of phylogenetic tree, and the conservative domain of a protein, to name just a few. Technical details of alignment algorithms are explained with a minimum use of mathematical formulas and with graphical illustrations.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 1118561473 | 397 pages | True PDF EPUB | 111.6 MB There is no escaping the fact that the island biogeography of the North Atlantic Region is singularly peculiar. Sitting in the north of the Atlantic Ocean, these islands have been subjected to largescale shifts in climate over the last few million years, unlike the other island groups further south which were likelymorebuffered from thevicissitudes of Quaternary climate changes. Uniquely for a groupof islandsthere is only one documented extinction in the North Atlantic(the Great Auk), and those in the insects are local eventsrelating to species that are distributed throughout the Palaearctic region. Over half the insect species in Iceland and Greenlandare introduced. The faunas, excluding Greenland, are predominantlyofPalaearctic originand have close affinities with the faunas ofScandinavia andthe British Isles and. These unique physical and biological characteristics have interested biologists and biogeographers for centuries.  English | 2020 | ISBN: 1119486319 | 531 pages | True PDF EPUB | 150.75 MB Through nine successful editions, and for over 45 years, Biogeography: An Ecological and Evolutionary Approach has provided a thorough and comprehensive exploration of the varied scientific disciplines and research that are essential to understanding the subject. The text, noted for its clear and engaging style of writing, has been praised for its solid background in historical biogeography and basic biology, that is enhanced and illuminated by discussions of current research. |
