简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Complex Systems Science in BiomedicineThomas S. Deisboeck and J. Yasha KreshComplex Systems Science in Biomedicine covers the emerging field of systems science involving the application of physics, mathematics, engineering and computational methods and techniques to the study of biomedicine including nonlinear dynamics at the molecular, cellular, multi-cellular tissue, and organismic level. With all chapters helmed by leading scientists in the field, Complex Systems Science in Biomedicine's goal is to offer its audience a timely compendium of the ongoing research directed to the understanding of biological processes as whole systems instead of as isolated component parts.聽聽聽聽 In Parts I & II, Complex Systems Science in Biomedicine provides a general systems thinking perspective and presents some of the fundamental theoretical underpinnings of this rapidly emerging field. Part III then follows with a multi-scaled approach, spanning from the molecular to macroscopic level, exemplified by studying such diverse areas as molecular networks and developmental processes, the immune and nervous systems, the heart, cancer and multi-organ failure.聽 The volume concludes with Part IV that addresses methods and techniques driven in design and development by this new understanding of biomedical science.Key Topics Include: 鈥⒙燞istoric Perspectives of General Systems Thinking 鈥⒙燜undamental Methods and Techniques for Studying Complex Dynamical Systems 鈥⒙燗pplications from Molecular Networks to Disease Processes鈥⒙燛nabling Technologies for Exploration of聽 Systems in the Life Sciences Complex Systems Science in Biomedicine is essential reading for experimental, theoretical, and interdisciplinary scientists working in the biomedical research field interested in a comprehensive overview of this rapidly emerging field.聽聽 About the Editors: Thomas S.

简介：Tom Newquist had been a detective in the Nota Lake sheriff鈥檚 office--a tough, honest cop respected by everyone. When he died suddenly, the townsfolk were saddened but not surprised: Just shy of sixty-five, Newquist worked too hard, smoked too much, and exercised too little. That plus an appetite for junk food made him a poster boy for an American Heart Association campaign. Newquist鈥檚 widow didn鈥檛 doubt the coroner鈥檚 report. But what Selma couldn鈥檛 accept was not knowing what had so bothered Tom in the last six weeks of his life. What was it that had made him prowl restlessly at night, that had him brooding constantly? Selma Newquist wanted closure, and the only way she鈥檇 get it was if she found out what it was that had so bedeviled her husband. Kinsey should have dumped the case. It was vague and hopeless, like looking for a needle in a haystack. Instead, she set up shop in Nota Lake, where she found that looking for a needle in a haystack can draw blood. Very likely, her own.

简介：The Johns Hopkins Medical Handbook explains in great depth the 100 major medical disorders that most affect the lives of adult men and women. Cancer, Alzheimer's disease, osteoporosis, heart disease, hyperthyroidism, glaucoma, atherosclerosis, and impotence are all carefully and thoroughly discussed in this comprehensive volume. The Handbook provides the background that you need to understand the effects of each of these, and other, disorders, then covers the diagnostics and treatments currently in use, adding the benefit of the most recent findings available. With clear, concise language to prepare you for consultations with your doctor, a clean, easy-to-read layout, some 70 beautifully rendered illustrations, and a comprehensive index, the Johns Hopkins Medical Handbook places the latest medical knowledge within easy reach. A unique Directory, also included in the Handbook, guides you as you seek treatment, information, and support. The Directory gives you the names, addresses, and phone numbers of America's teaching hospitals, health information organizations, government health agencies, and self-help groups. It also provides practical advice on how best to find an expert medical specialist; the hospital that is right for your needs; and the most reliable health information organizations and support groups. Hospital listings are even cross-referenced by disorder to make the right one for you easier to find. A powerful source of knowledge. And more powerful still when you consider that the Handbook combines the resources of The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions with those of the nation's top health information organizations. The American Heart Association, the Arthritis Foundation, the American Diabetes Association, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Lung Association, and the National Cancer Institute are just a few of the organizations that have cooperated with Johns Hopkins in providing material for the Handbook. No medical reference is more authoritative or puts you in touch with so many resources.
