简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 The editors of this book are affiliated with Cellumen, Inc. and Cellomics, Inc., the latter being the company that developed high contact screening (HCS), the high-throughput platform in discovery-driven research and development to analyze the functions of genes and gene products at the level of the cell. Current users and investigators considering implementing HCS in research and development are the intended audience of the 31 contributions, which discuss instrumentation, application software, reagents, and informatics as related to HCS. Some chapters comprise pure review on key topics, while others more specifically treat a method in HCS. Specific topics include: a pharmaceutical company user's perspective on the potential of HCS in drug discovery, characteristics and value of machine learning for imaging in HCS, and discovery of protein kinase phosphates inhibitors. Annotation 漏2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)   Publisher Summary 2 High content screening (HCS) was developed by Cellomics Inc. in the mid-1990s to address the need for a platform that could be used in the discovery-driven research and development required to understand the functions of genes and gene products at the level of the cell. High Content Screening: A Powerful Approach to Systems Cell Biology and Drug Discovery discusses its use as a high throughput platform to understand the functions of genes, RNA, proteins, and other cellular constituents at the level of the living cell.High Content Screening is assembled to assist both existing users of HCS, as well as investigators considering the addition of a discovery-driven platform to their research and development activities. The chapters have been organized into sections that highlight the importance of integrating instrumentation, application software, reagents, and informatics. In addition, there is a combination of pure review chapters on key topics and specific methods chapters. Written by a team of world leaders in the field, High Content Screening is essential reading for senior scientists, advanced lab technicians, as well as students/post-docs who wish to apply HCS in their research and development programs.

Through the utilization of a professional and globally supported software for metrology and control engineering, DasyLab, useful applications can be developed, modified and optimized.Computer supported processing of real signals is made possible over the sound card and the parallel port. Over two hundred pre-programmed signal engineering systems and design transparencies are provided.Pictures also play a dominant rule in this book: there are numerous introduction-videos, one for every chapter, more than 250 high-quality pictures and - most important 鈥?all the "living" experiments and their results are visualized. With this learning system, readers can now make use of "equipment" and software, which was practically unaffordable for individuals in the past.What's more, here is a very new concept for learning Signal Processing, not only from the physically-based scientific fundamentals, but also from the didactic perspective, based on modern results of brain research.
