Restriction Endonucleases (Nucleic Acids and Molecular Biology)CRC | ISBN: 084938205X | Edition - 2007-07-23 | PDF | 368 pages | 14.3Mb
The automated identification of biological objects or groups has been a dream among taxonomists and systematists for centuries. However, progress in designing and implementing practical systems for fully automated taxon identification has been frustratingly slow. Regardless, the dream has never died. Recent developments in computer architectures and innovations in software design have placed the tools needed to realize this vision in the hands of the systematics community, not several years hence, but now. And not just for DNA barcodes or other molecular data, but for digital images of organisms, digital sounds, digitized chemical data - essentially any type of digital data. Based on evidence accumulated over the last decade and written by applied researchers, Automated Taxon Identification in Systematics explores contemporary applications of quantitative approaches to the problem of taxon recognition. The book begins by reviewing the current state of systematics and placing automated taxon identification in the context of contemporary trends, needs, and opportunities. The chapters present and evaluate different aspects of current automated system designs. They then provide descriptions of case studies in which different theoretical and practical aspects of the overall group-identification problem are identified, analyzed, and discussed. A recurring theme through the chapters is the relationship between taxonomic identification, automated group identification, and morphometrics. This collection provides a bridge between these communities and between them and the wider world of applied taxonomy. The only book-length treatment that explores automated group identification in systematic context, this text also includes introductions to basic aspects of the fields of contemporary artificial intelligence and mathematical group recognition for the entire biological community.

K. Frank, Michael M, Harvey I, John P (Authors), "Samter's Immunologic Diseases 6th edition"Publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins | English | 103 pages | 13.2 MB | ISBN: 0071388365 | RS.com
In this sixth edition the authors continue to emphasize the immune system of humans and the immunologic basis of human disease. The bibliographies are still rather extensive but have the added intent of providing a pathway to "finding the right additional information." Many authors are new and the emphasis in some chapters has changed as might be expected in a fast-moving field such as immunology. Overall, however, this edition is similar to the previous one in content and emphasis. They faced an issue in this edition of how to handle infectious diseases in which, in most cases, the immune system was just doing "its thing." The major question in infectious diseases for the immunologist is to understand its limitations and compromises in an agent related fashion and to understand how infection contributes to the development of immunologic diseases. Consequently, they have included overviews of how the immune system deals with microbes rather than, in most cases, discussing each disease entity separately.
