Dynamical systems theory in mathematical biology has attracted much attention from many scientific directions. The purpose of this volume is to present and discuss the many rich properties of the dynamical systems that appear in life science and medicine. The main topics include cancer treatment, dy... More

Traditional biological sensors, based on enzymatic receptors and potentiometric or amperometric transducers are well reviewed and are nowadays even included extensively in many textbooks. The editors of this volume, the 2nd in the new Springer Series on Chemical and Biosensors, have focussed exclusi... More

The frontiers of microtechnology and nanotechnology are changing the face of medicine through the efforts of researchers to build biomedical microelectromechanical systems, or bioMEMS - tiny working machines so small, they measure only a few millionths of a meter across. BIOMEMS AND BIOMEDICAL NANOT... More

Systems biology is an emerging discipline that studies the underlying network structure and the dynamics of metabolism, cells or whole organisms. It aims to investigate all interacting components simultaneously and requires data from high throughput techniques. These data from the "omic" sciences ar... More

This timely book identifies and highlights the latest data mining paradigms to analyze, combine, integrate, model and simulate vast amounts of heterogeneous multi-modal, multi-scale data for emerging real-world applications in life science. The cutting-edge topics presented include bio-surveillance,... More

As the prevalence of allergic diseases and asthma has increased in recent years, scientists have intensified research efforts to understand the pathogenesis of these sometimes debilitating conditions. Indeed, researchers have provided key insights-and new concepts-that have changed therapeutic strat... More

This handbook enables bio-device designers to reach new levels of success, with state-of-the-art coverage of everything from MEMS/NEMS design and fabrication to the most advanced breakthroughs in the bio-manipulation of cells and genes.Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and nano-electro-mechani...

Intelligent systems try to achieve, through the use of computers, flexible learning and adaptive activity like that found in the human brain. For the first time, this groundbreaking resource provides a detailed understanding of the analysis, design, and application of new intelligent systems in the ... More

The application of light microscopy to biological problems has made an enormous impact in recent years. This volume provides the key data required to optimize the analysis of biological samples using the light microscope, irrespective of the type of method selected. The Essential Data series provide... More

The book fills the void between rigorous theoretical discussions of ligand binding for physical chemists (often beyond the needs of bench experimentalists in the life sciences) and compilations of experimental recipes that offer scant regard for the appropriateness of the protocol for the particular... More

The book addresses fundamental issues faced by experimentalists, modelers and engineers interested in different physical, mechanical and transport aspects of biological tissues and chemically active geological materials, mainly clays and shales. The focus is on the couplings between electro-chemical... More

The major recent advances in our understanding of the regulation of gene transcription have stemmed largely from our ability to quantify and characterize mRNA. This book describes the methods used for the analysis of RNA, for DNA transfection into mammalian cells, and reporter technology for mapping... More

Designed to emphasize the fundamental principles, this book includes abundant applications to demonstrate and develop logical, orderly methods of procedure. Instead of deriving numerous formulas for all types of problems, the authors have stressed the use of free-body diagrams and the equations of e... More
