Biophysics

This well-illustrated book provides a broad and highly practical introduction to all aspects of biomedical instrumentation from design and use to maintenance. Readers having an elementary technical background in electronics or engineering and a casual familiarity with physiology should find this boo... More

Epigenetic phenomena are increasingly recognized as having significant economic and medical relevance. For instance, certain human disease syndromes may be due to the inheritance of paternal-specific patterns of gene activity that are largely independent of DNA sequence. This book both assesses our ... More

The theory of neural nets has two new paradigms: information coding through coherent firing of the neurons and structural feedback. As compared to traditional neural nets, spiking neurons provide an extra degree of freedom: time; this degree of freedom is realized by a coherent spiking of extensivel... More

Introduction to Sports Biomechanics has been developed to introduce you to the core topics covered in the first two years of your degree. It will give you a sound grounding in both the theoretical and practical aspects of the subject. Part One covers the anatomical and mechanical foundations of biom... More

A vast number of biochemical reactions are catalyzed by molecules fixed to the surface of membranes (or other biological structures). Although trans-membrane processes have been extensively studied for the last 30 years, the focus on interfacial processes has lagged. The study of the mechanisms at t... More

Providing advanced undergraduate and graduate students with a foundation in the basic concepts of biophysics, students who have taken physical chemistry and calculus courses will find this book an accessible and valuable aid in learning how these concepts can be used in biological research.
