The Essential Tension
'The Essential Tension' explores how agents that naturally compete come to act together as a group. The author argues that the controversial concept of multilevel selection is essential to biological evolution, a proposition set to stimulate new debate. The idea of one collective unit emerging from the cooperative interactions of its constituent (and mutually competitive) parts has its roots in the ancient world. More recently, it has illuminated studies of animal behavior, and played a controversial role in evolutionary biology. In Part I, the author explores the historical development of the idea of a collectivity in biological systems, from early speculations on the sociology of human cro...
The Design of Low Noise Oscillators
It is hardly a revelation to note that wireless and mobile communications have grown tremendously during the last few years. This growth has placed stringent requi- ments on channel spacing and, by implication, on the phase noise of oscillators. C- pounding the challenge has been a recent drive toward implementations of transceivers in CMOS, whose inferior 1/f noise performance has usually been thought to disqualify it from use in all but the lowest-performance oscillators. Low noise oscillators are also highly desired in the digital world, of course. The c- tinued drive toward higher clock frequencies translates into a demand for ev- decreasing jitter. Clearly, there is a need for a deep understanding of the fundamental mechanisms g- erning the process by which device, substrate, and supply noise turn into jitter and phase noise. Existing models generally offer only qualitative insights, however, and it has not always been clear why they are not quantitatively correct.
Molecular Pathology in Clinical Practice
This authoritative textbook offers in-depth coverage of all aspects of molecular pathology practice and embodies the current standard in molecular testing. Since the successful first edition, new sections have been added on pharmacogenetics and genomics, while other sections have been revised and updated to reflect the rapid advances in the field. The result is a superb reference that encompasses molecular biology basics, genetics, inherited cancers, solid tumors, neoplastic hematopathology, infectious diseases, identity testing, HLA typing, laboratory management, genomics and proteomics. Throughout the text, emphasis is placed on the molecular variations being detected, the clinical usefulness of the tests and important clinical and laboratory issues. The second edition of Molecular Pathology in Clinical Practice will be an invaluable source of information for all practicing molecular pathologists and will also be of utility for other pathologists, clinical colleagues and trainees.
Molecular Microbiology
Presenting the latest molecular diagnostic techniques in one comprehensive volume The molecular diagnostics landscape has changed dramatically since the last edition of Molecular Microbiology: Diagnostic Principles and Practice in 2011. With the spread of molecular testing and the development of new technologies and their opportunities, laboratory professionals and physicians more than ever need a resource to help them navigate this rapidly evolving field. Editors David Persing and Fred Tenover have brought together a team of experienced researchers and diagnosticians to update this third edition comprehensively, to present the latest developments in molecular diagnostics in the support of c...
Wie ich das Ende der Welt (üb)erlebte
29 der besten, fiesesten und bizarrsten apokalyptischen Kurzgeschichten rund um den Weltuntergang – und um das bisherige Überleben. Folgt uns zu Klimakatastrophen, Sintfluten, Dürren und kontinentalen Veränderungen, zu Epidemien, freigesetzten Zombie-Viren und dem Krieg gegen Ameisen. Lasst euch von Killer-Weizen überwuchern, von gemeinen Pilzen verzehren oder von leckerer Zuckerwatte ersticken. Schließlich stirbt man nur manchmal – oder eben doch nicht? Wenn ihr auf Nummer Sicher gehen wollt, begegnet euch einfach selbst oder nutzt eine ferngesteuerte Selbstmordkabine. Aber Vorsicht! Manche Fernsteuerungen und PC-Programme haben Schwachstellen, virtuelle Spiele sind tückisch und die 0 ist sowieso böse. Auch vor Begegnungen mit höheren Wesen, Dämonen und Alien wird gewarnt. Lasst euch lieber göttlich Entrücken oder vom Handy verzücken. Geht fröhlich und gut gelaunt und rosa drauf oder findet heraus, dass ihr eine Lebensmittelallergie habt – gegen alles. Also trinkt eine Margarita, geht auf den Jahrmarkt, nehmt ein Sonnenbad und füttert Tauben bis ihr steril werdet. Es hilft sowieso alles nichts, Jeffrey ist immer der Täter.
Mensch-Gemacht
Buchdruck, Elektrizität, Computer - bahnbrechende Erfindungen die unsere Welt geprägt haben. Doch so segensreich der Fortschritt ist, so sehr bedroht er auch unsere Existenz. Nur mit nachhaltigen Technologien, können wir Technik und Natur in Einklang bringen und im Gleichgewicht miteinander leben. "Mensch-Gemacht" ist eine Anthologie über Mensch, Natur und Technik. Lasst euch in andere Welten entführen. Begegnet außer Kontrolle geratenen Haushaltsgeräten, echter künstlicher Intelligenz, Automatisierung bis zur Perfektion, humanoiden Robotern, Zeitreisen, atemberaubender Prothetik, Virtual Reality und dem "gemachten" Menschen der Zukunft. 24 talentierte Autor*innen laden euch ein, ihr...
Surveying Antimicrobial Resistance: Approaches, Issues, and Challenges to Overcome
Why Antibiotic Resistance? The use of antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine may have consequences beyond their intended applications. The “One Health” concept recognizes that the health of humans is connected to the health of animals and the environment. Progress in molecular genetics is facilitating the rapid evaluation of the essentiality of these targets on a genomic scale. In 2015, a group of researchers established the International Conference on Antibiotic Resistance (IC2AR).The primary objective of this meeting is to bring together scientists involved in antibiotic resistance prevention and control. The IC2AR conducted its inaugural world congress in January 2015 at Caparic...
Bacterial Adaptation to Co-resistance
The proposed book aims to understand the mechanism of survival of microorganisms in response to chemical stress in various ecological niches that suffer direct human intervention, more so the agricultural, domestic and hospital settings. Microbicides (e.g. disinfectants, antiseptics, fungicides, algaecides, insecticides and pesticides) are used rampantly to control undesirable microbes. Insecticides and pesticides are routinely used in agriculture which directly affect the microbial population in farms, orchards and fields. Health care environments are always stressed with disinfectants and antibiotics. It is always probable that microbicide-stressed microorganisms are in a dynamic state, di...
X
Noch nie hat ein X irgendwo, irgendwann einen bedeutenden Punkt markiert. Vielleicht nicht, aber dieses X markiert die 10. Anthologie der Münchner Schreiberlinge. 10 Finger, 10 Gebote, 10 biblische Plagen. Eine Dekade. Dinge dezimieren. Number 10, Downing Street. 1 und 0. Binarität. Dezember. Überall in Mythologie, Geschichte, Sprache und Alltag ist die 10 präsent. Siebzehn Autor*innen zeigen in ganz unterschiedlichen Szenerien, welche ze(h)ntrale Rolle das X spielen kann. Begebt euch mit uns auf die Reise und erforscht die Bedeutung der 10.
