This volume focuses on the area of the physics of complex systems and provides both an overview of the field and more detailed examination of those topics within the field that are currently of greatest interest to researchers. The properties of complex systems play an important role in a variety of different and overlapping areas in physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics and technology. The research field of complex systems is very broad, but this volume attempts to be comprehensive. This book is a useful reference work for researchers in this area, whether graduate students or advanced academics. Up-to-date reviews of cutting-edge topics are provided, compiled by leading authorities and ...
Computational modeling is emerging as a powerful new approach to study and manipulate biological systems. Multiple methods have been developed to model, visualize, and rationally alter systems at various length scales, starting from molecular modeling and design at atomic resolution to cellular pathways modeling and analysis. Higher time and length scale processes, such as molecular evolution, have also greatly benefited from new breeds of computational approaches. This book provides an overview of the established computational methods used for modeling biologically and medically relevant systems.
Computational Physics. Selected Methods, Simple Exercises, Serious Applications is an overview written by leading researchers of a variety of fields and developments. Selected Methods introduce the reader to current fields, including molecular dynamics, hybrid Monte-Carlo algorithms, and neural networks. Simple Exercises give hands-on advice for effective program solutions from a small number of lines to demonstration programs with elaborate graphics. Serious Applications show how questions concerning, for example, aging, many-minima optimisation, or phase transitions can be treated by appropriate tools. The source code and demonstration graphics are included on a 3.5" MS-DOS diskette.

This fully updated volume assembles a comprehensive collection of methods, techniques, and strategies to investigate the molecular and cellular biology of peroxisomes in different organisms. Peroxisome research is on the rise, as novel functions and proteins of this dynamic organelle are still being discovered through studies in model systems including humans, mice, flies, plants, fungi, and yeast, and this progress is reflected in the chapters included in this collection. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and up-to-date, Peroxisomes: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition serves as an ideal guide for researchers working on peroxisome- and organelle-based research questions.
Annotation This book deals with the increasingly 'diminishing' interfaces that are resulting as device dimensions scale down. Chapter topics include nanomechanicals properties and structures of thin films in contrast to their bulk counterparts, from both experimental and theoretical perspectives;viscoelasticity, microroughness, and friction, particularly in polymers; advances in instrumentation such as scanning probes, x-ray scattering, sum frequency generation spectroscopy and nanorheometers; the origin of film properties via tailored molecular modification of film components; moleculardynamics simulations and modeling of interfaces.
This volume explores various possibilities in the development of molecular electronics in its discussion of experiment, theory, design, fabrication, operating principles and applications of molecular-scale electronics.
Schritt für Schritt zu den Konzepten Die Autoren führen den Leser von den mathematischen Grundlagen zu den konkreten Methoden der Bioinformatik. Das Buch wendet sich damit an alle, die bioinformatische Methoden und Softwarepakete verwenden wollen, sie aber nicht als Black Boxes akzeptieren möchten. Ein besonderes Highlight ist die schrittweise Implementierung wichtiger Algorithmen der Bioinformatik im Computeralgebra-Programm Mathematica, um die Konzepte auch auf der informatischen Ebene zu verstehen. Das Themenspektrum reicht von bioinformatischen Alltagsfragen bis in die Systembiologie. Die zweite, stark erweiterte Auflage geht auch auf eine Reihe sehr aktueller Themen der Bioinformatik ein, etwa Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), GWAS-Daten und Protein-Interaktions-Netzwerke. Der Inhalt ist spannend und leicht verständlich.
