very impressive..........2007-07-11

I recently purchased this book and I would like to say that it does a great job in covering what's hot in Nano-Biotechnology. It has helped me out (and I am a current grad student). I recommend this to anyone who's interested in learning or wants ideas in potential research projects. Seriously, it's great!

Book Description

Nanotechnology is the key technology of the 21st century. The possibility to exploit the structures and processes of biomolecules for novel functional materials, biosensors, bioelectronics and medical applications has created the rapidly growing field of nanobiotechnology.

Designed as a broad survey of the field, this book combines contributions from bioorganic and bioinorganic chemistry, molecular biology, materials science and bioanalytics to fathom the full scope of current and future developments.

It is divided into four main sections:

Interphase Systems
Protein-based Nanostructures
DNA-based Nanostructures
Nanoanalytics

Book Description

This book provides basic principles of multivalent interactions found in biological systems as well as an up-to-date and thorough coverage in design concepts, syntheses, and biological activities of multivalent molecules.
* Contains practical examples of synthetic multivalent molecules in chemistry, biology, and medicine
* Can be used as both a textbook for students and a reference book for libraries and professionals
* Includes detailed case studies
* Fills a void in current literature through its devotion solely to multivalent molecules

Book Description

The author uses experimental evidence to show students how biochemical concepts are developed. For example, the experiments that led to discovery of the citric acid and urea cycles are described so students can see the scientific process that Hans Krebbs and his associates used. The author also covers experiments that led to the discoveries of glycogen phophoylase, the sigma factor, DNA polymerase, and other important enzymes.

Making Biochemistry understandable.......2000-11-27

I would recomend this book to students on their first approach to Biochemistry. This is a confusing subject, with so many difficult names and processes, and this books makes all these understandable. It uses experimental facts to explain the characteristics and processes involved. You will find full-color illustrations and diagrams, that help making clear processes such as replication and transcription. Another outstanding feature in this book is that it includes clinical applications and laboratory techniques. At the end of the book you will find an Internet address book...really useful. It also has a glossary, in which you will find concise definitions of every important biochemical term. A fine book.

Book Description

Our understanding of the nature, origin, and biological roles of double-stranded RNA found in fungi, plants, and animals has advanced greatly during the last five years. Because these genetic elements are capable of replication, they can be used to manage fungal diseases of crops, vegetables, turfgrass, fruit, and forest trees using genetic means rather than by environmentally hazardous chemicals. And recent evidence suggests that the presence of small amounts of dsRNA elicits sequence-specific gene silencing, which may lead to the development of treatments aimed at silencing harmful genes causing serious diseases in animals and humans. dsRNA Genetic Elements: Concepts and Applications in Agriculture, Forestry, and Medicine compiles and unifies current knowledge of dsRNA genetic factors from different biological systems and discusses high-impact applications to agriculture, forestry, and medicine. It is a compilation of the latest advances on dsRNA systems from yeast, filamentous fungi, plants, and animals. This authoritative text is a valuable source of knowledge for a diverse audience from many areas of biology including molecular biology, genetics, and virology, as well as from applied fields in agriculture, forestry, and pharmaceutics.

Book Description

Proteomics is a multifaceted, interdisciplinary field which studies the complexity and dynamics of proteins in biological systems. It combines powerful separation and analytical technology with advanced informatics to understand the function of proteins in the cell and in the body. This book provides a clear conceptual description of each facet of proteomics, describes recent advances in technology and thinking in each area, and provides details of how these have been applied to a variety of biological problems. It is written by expert practitioners in the field, from industry, research institutions, and the clinic. It provides junior and experienced researchers with an invaluable proteomic reference, and gives fascinating glimpses of the future of this dynamic field.

Book Description

This book encompasses a wide range of important topics. The articles cover the following areas: asymptotic theory and inference, biostatistics, economics and finance, statistical computing and Bayesian statistics, and statistical genetics. Specifically, the issues that are studied include large deviation, deviation inequalities, local sensitivity of model misspecification in likelihood inference, empirical likelihood confidence intervals, uniform convergence rates in density estimation, randomized designs in clinical trials, MCMC and EM algorithms, approximation of p-values in multipoint linkage analysis, use of mixture models in genetic studies, and design and analysis of quantitative traits.

good book.......2007-01-16

if you enjoy classic literature go ahead and read this one. It's well written, detailed, pretty good story.

an important, overlooked piece of 'chick-lit'.......2005-07-29

having never heard of fanny fern, i was mildly curious when assigned this book to read for my 'literature of the american renaissance class' a few semesters ago.

it's nice to see something of a renewed interested in fanny fern's work. in this same class we read 'little women' and i found both books highly enjoyable. however, ruth hall manages to stick its canines a little deeper into traditional chick-lit skins. make no mistake, this book has some teeth, and rightfully so.

ruth hall is essentially fanny fern's semi-autobiographical (but what i know, it's pretty much taken directly from her own life and experiences. a quick look at the plot: ruth ahll loses her husband and is forced to deal with less than kind in-laws. she's a very talented writer and supports herself and her two children by writing newspaper columnists. The novel recounts one woman's attempt to rise above social/gender discrimination and supposed gender roles to become one of the most successful writers (female or male) of her time. one can't help read ruth hall as a jab at fanny fern's detractors and naysayers. it's sort of an 'i-told-you-so-so-take-that!' and more power to her.

i enjoyed this novel quite a bit (and yes, i'm a guy), despite the occassional lapse into melodrama and and over-wrought sentimentality. fanny fern was indeed a skilled writer and should be looked at more carefully, both by academics and students. an often overlooked, nevertheless, important author.

Ruth Hall: American Woman's Odessy.......2000-10-09

This is a fasinating account of a single mother's experience in the mid-nineteenth century. Fanny Fern, pen name of Sara willis Parton, fictionalized her own experiences to create this account of life for a woman on her own in the 1850's. Fern's wryly ironic style and hold no punches revelations earned her fame and fortune and more than a small amount of criticism. If you thought all women were straightlaced and demure 150 years ago read this and learn.
