Virus
An essential illustrated guide to the 101 most fascinating viruses This stunningly illustrated book provides a rare window into the amazing, varied, and often beautiful world of viruses. Contrary to popular belief, not all viruses are bad for you. In fact, several are beneficial to their hosts, and many are crucial to the health of our planet. Virus offers an unprecedented look at 101 incredible microbes that infect all branches of life on Earth—from humans and other animals to insects, plants, fungi, and bacteria. Featuring hundreds of breathtaking color images throughout, this guide begins with a lively and informative introduction to virology. Here readers can learn about the history of...
Mathematical Studies on Human Disease Dynamics
This volume contains the proceedings of the AMS-SIAM-IMS Joint Summer Research Conference on Modeling the Dynamics of Human Diseases: Emerging Paradigms and Challenges, held in Snowbird, Utah, July 17-21, 2005. The goal of the conference was to bring together leading and upcoming researchers to discuss the latest advances and challenges associated with the modeling of the dynamics of emerging and re-emerging diseases, and to explore various control strategies. The articles included in this book are devoted to some of the significant recent advances, trends, and challenges associated with the mathematical modeling and analysis of the dynamics and control of some diseases of public health impo...
Virus
Viruses are the last frontier of undiscovered life on our planet. The most abundant type of organism on Earth, they infect all types of cellular life, and, as micro-organisms that cause disease in their hosts, they are highly opportunistic and relentlessly efficient. They exist at the vanguard of DNA variance, exhibiting more structural diversity than plants, animals, archaea, or even bacteria. This 21st-century guide offers an engaging introductory section explaining exactly what viruses are and how they operate, followed by individual profiles of 101 of the world's most notable examples, each with its own dazzling mugshot
Mathematical and Statistical Modeling for Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases
The contributions by epidemic modeling experts describe how mathematical models and statistical forecasting are created to capture the most important aspects of an emerging epidemic.Readers will discover a broad range of approaches to address questions, such as Can we control Ebola via ring vaccination strategies? How quickly should we detect Ebola cases to ensure epidemic control? What is the likelihood that an Ebola epidemic in West Africa leads to secondary outbreaks in other parts of the world? When does it matter to incorporate the role of disease-induced mortality on epidemic models? What is the role of behavior changes on Ebola dynamics? How can we better understand the control of cho...
Research Handbook on Climate Disaster Law
Through assessing climate disaster law in relation to international, public, private and environmental law this Research Handbook considers the unique challenges, barriers and opportunities that climate disasters pose for law and policy. Scientific and empirical evidence suggests that the laws addressing natural disasters cannot be adequately applied to disasters that are caused by climate change. Featuring contributions from leading international experts, this Research Handbook will be a useful resource for those with an interest in environmental law and international policymaking.
바이러스
놀랍고 다양하며 때로는 아름답기까지 한 바이러스의 세계! 101가지 바이러스의 실체를 생동감 넘치는 사진으로 담아낸 ‘바이러스 백과사전’ 최근 급속도로 번져가는 아프리카돼지열병은 우리를 공포로 몰아넣고 있다. 아프리카돼지열병을 일으키는 아프리카돼지열병바이러스는 현재로서는 마땅한 백신이 없는 무시무시한 존재다. 아프리카의 가축용 돼지에서 시작되어 현재 세계 곳곳에서 발견되는 이 바이러스를 뉴스로 접하다 보면 모든 바이러스가 이렇듯 생명체를 위협하는 존재처럼 느껴진다. 그런데 대부분의 바이러스는 질병을 일으키지 않는다는 사실을 아는가? 바이러스의 많은 부분은 아직 미스터리로 남아 있다. 존재가 밝혀지고 연구가 이어지는 바이러스는 지구상에 존재하는 것 중 1%도 되지 않는다. 이번에 출간된 『바이러스』는 우리가 알아두어야 할 101가지 바이러스를 풍부한 설명과 생동감이 느껴지는 사진들로 깊이 있게 다루었다.
Viren!
Einblicke in einer verborgene WeltViren sind Grenzgänger des Lebens. Mikroskopisch klein, als Krankheitserreger gefürchtet, doch in ihrer Vielfalt und in ihrer Bedeutung für die biologischen Netzwerke auf der Erde und für die Evolution des Lebens erst ansatzweise verstanden - und immer wieder für Überraschungen gut. Viren sind Opportunisten, die oft geduldig auf ihre Chance warten - in Ruhestadien oder eingebettet in das Erbgut ihrer Wirte -, und Meister der Anpassung. Ihre Vermehrungsstrategien und Übertragungsmechanismen sind so vielfältig wie ihre Erscheinungsformen. Die meisten Viren sind "nur" Nucleinsäuren in einer Proteinhülle, aber sie kapern Pflanzen-, Tier- und Bakterienz...
