Evolutionary methods in biotechnology : clever tricks for directed evolution /

作者：  edited by Susanne Brakmann and Andreas Schwienhorst.

出版社：

简介：Biological scientists mostly from Germany and Austria offer laboratory researchers a set of recipes for directed evolution, which seeks to identify molecular species that are well-adapted to a given profile of defined demands. Their topics include generating mutant libraries using random mutagensis, DNA shuffling, selecting phage-displayed enzymes, selecting aptamers, selecting catalytic nucleic acids, the high-throughput screening of enantio-selective industrial biocatalysts, computer-assisted design of doped libraries, directed in silico mutagenesis, RNA folding in silico, and patenting in evolutionary biotechnology. The disk contains software tools for library design and selecting mutagenesis positions, and various algorithms. Annotation 漏2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

The didactics of audiovisual translation /

作者：  edited by Jorge Diaz Cintas.

出版社：

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 While exploring the state of the art of translator training, the focus of this collection of 15 essays is on one of the most complex and dynamic areas of the translation disciplines. Contributors describe the nature of the audiovisual text, the challenges of translating screen to writing need and screenplays, the scripted and unscripted language of the screenplay and what subtitlers need to know about both, the discipline as it applies to special needs including translation for those with hearing and vision differences, the use of subtitled materials for foreign language instruction, and personalized subtitling as a means to enhance second language acquisition. Hands on experience essays are especially interesting and include subtitler training as part of a general program in language professions, teaching and learning to subtitling and academic environment, learning to subtitle online, and teaching overdubbing.

Fisheries subsidies, sustainable development, and the WTO /

作者：  edited by Anja von Moltke.

出版社：

简介：The fisheries sector is in crisis. Inappropriate subsidies to the fishing industry are a key factor responsible for worldwide fisheries depletion, overcapitalization and ecosystem degradation. There is an urgent need for an international mechanism to promote the appropriate restructuring of fisheries subsidies in order to create a more sustainable industry. In recent years the leading international forum charged with providing such a mechanism has been the World Trade Organization (WTO). This book explains why and how the reform of fisheries subsidies has become one of the most concrete and potentially successful international efforts to achieve global environmental, economic and developmental policy coherence. It describes the history and current status of the discussions at the WTO, drawing on UNEP's key documents and reflecting on the major issues. Accompanying the book is a CD-Rom containing full-text versions of all the most important source material used in the publication. The book is aimed at a broad stakeholder audience, including policy-makers in the fields of trade, fisheries, environmental economics and international environmental governance, as well as academics and others looking for an overview of the fisheries subsidies issue and an introduction to its technical components.

Introduction to bioinformatics : a theoretical and practical approach /

作者：  edited by Stephen A. Krawetz and David D. Womble.

出版社：

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Introduction to Bioinformatics: A Theoretical and Practical Approach was written as an introductory text for the undergraduate, graduate, or professional. This text provides scientists with both a biological framework to understand the questions life scientist confront in the context of the computational issues and tools that are currently available for scientific research It also provides the life scientist with a resource to the various computational tools that are available all supported with their underlying mathematical foundations. The book is divided into four main sections. The first two sections provide an overview of the various biological processes that govern an organism and impact health. The first section, Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology, describes basic cellular structure and the decoding of the genome. The second section, Molecular Genetics covers the regulation of genomes and the molecular genetic basis of disease as a consequence of genetic replication. Clinical human genetics and the various clinical databases are also reviewed. The third section, the Unix Operating System, demystifies the Unix system used throughout the world to support advanced computation tools. In addition to information on the installation and management of Unix-based software tools, examples of command line sequence analyses are presented that will enable the research to become as comfortable in a command-line environment as they are in the Graphical-User Interface environment. The final section, Computer Applications, provides information on the management and analysis of DNA sequencing projects, along with a review of how DNA can be modeled as a statistical series of patterns. It follows with a discussion of the various genome databases, the representation of genomes, and methods for their large scale analyses. Protein visualization, and transcription profiling including the use of analysis software for systems biology round out the coverage.The volume also includes a bonus CD-ROM containing valuable software programs including BioDiscovery (for microarray analysis), ClustalX (a sequence alignment program) Ensembl, MicroAnalyser (for microarray analysis on the Macintosh), Staden Sequence Analysis Package, Tree View (for displaying phylogenies) an others. Also included is a complete set of color illustrations from each chapter that will prove invaluable for professors preparing their next bioinformatics course or seminar.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Sternberg (psychology, Yale University) emphasizes the theme of unity in psychological sciences in this fourth edition of a text/CD-ROM package formerly titled Psychology: In Search of the Human Mind . This edition has been edited for readability and interest, and includes new boxed features on how psychologists from different disciplines would treat the same condition. Also new are expanded quizzes, critical thinking questions, and chapter summaries. The CD-ROM contains animations, activities, and videos. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)   Publisher Summary 2 Accomplished, respected, and dedicated to his field, Robert Sternberg shows students that the discipline of psychology is much greater than just the sum of its specialized parts. As an active researcher, teacher, and current President of APA (American Psychological Association), Sternberg is uniquely qualified to mix recent research with student-friendly applications. The mission of his text is to teach introductory psychology students to understand and think about the field as psychologists do--to learn that, in the search to understand the human mind, psychology is both a product and process. To demonstrate this balance, the text embraces biological, cognitive, developmental, social-psychological, and clinical approaches equally. It emphasizes the interactions among these different approaches through Sternberg's emphasis on lab applications and through his "Unifying Psychology" features, which are found throughout the text. Sternberg demonstrates his commitment to students' learning by integrating not only the latest research, but also through new pedagogy that represents the best of learning theory--including chunking, primacy, and recency. The result is a text that is ideal for students who want to learn core concepts as a means for preparing for a potential major or career in psychology.
