Domesticating Aquatic Animals and Plants for Aquaculture

  • 1st Edition
  • June 1, 2099
  • Fabrice Teletchea
  • English
Domesticating Aquatic Animals and Plants for Aquaculture is a unique resource to help researchers and students better understand domestication and the potential impacts at a regional and global scale. Wild caught fisheries was the dominant mode of production until the late 1970s when aquaculture began to be a potential solution to the global food supply. Since then aquaculture has become the dominant mode of seafood production and as such, we can now start to understand not only the trends and effects of domestication, advantages and advantages. This is a reference which analyzes current data to assess domestication by a comparison study. This is the first book to analyse domestication of all species for the purpose to understand general patterns and trends for better decision making for the future.

  • Jeffrey A. Bakal + 2 more
  • English
Translational Geriatrics covers the principles of evidence-based medicine and applies these principles to the design of translational investigations. The reader will come to fully understand important concepts including case-control study, prospective cohort study, randomized trial, and reliability study. Medical researchers will benefit from greater confidence in their ability to initiate and execute their own investigations, avoid common pitfalls in geriatric medicine, and know what is needed for successful collaboration. Further, this title is an indispensable tool in grant writing and funding efforts. The practical, straightforward approach helps the aspiring investigator navigate challenging considerations in study design and implementation. The book provides valuable discussions of the critical appraisal of published studies in geriatrics, allowing the reader to learn how to evaluate the quality of such studies with respect to measuring outcomes and to make effective use of all types of evidence in patient care. In short, this practical guidebook will be of interest to every Medical Researcher and Geriatrician who has ever had a good clinical idea but not the knowledge of how to test it.

NMR in the Cloud

  • 1st Edition
  • March 1, 2099
  • Jeffrey Hoch
  • English
NMR in the Cloud: Resources for Moving Biomolecular NMR Research to the cloud is the ideal reference for Biomolecular researchers to explore and incorporate cloud-based tools to increase productivity of their projects. The COVID-19 pandemic, by forcing social distancing and work-from-home, has accelerated these trends and increased the demand for online resources for data processing and analysis, data storage, and remote collaboration and training tools. The trend toward online research will continue well after the pandemic subsides, because online resources remain valuable even in the absence of restrictions on in-person work. They increase the efficiency of the research enterprise and make it more robust in the face of disruptions of all sorts, environmental as well as public health. The book is structured around four parts. The first introduces reproducible computing for Bio-NMR, and collaborative computing tools. Part two presents online NMR platforms, including WeNMR, SB Grid, BMBR, Scientific Cloud Computing tools, and data Stewardship. The third part covers NMR specific online tools, including NMRfx, NMRPipe, NMRFAM-SPARKY, MNova, Chemical Shift Prediction, Peak Assignment, SPINACH, GISSMO, CSRosetta, NMR Metabolomics, Protein Structure Prediction, and reproducibility in the cloud environment. Part four presents case studies that help researchers envision how to select and deploy these tools to make their biological quest more productive and impactful. Biomolecular researchers will benefit from this book by gaining insights into selecting and using these analytical tools in the most productive way. Core Bio-NMR Managers may as well benefit from offering the book as reference for their customers.

Drosophila in Fundamental and Translational Neurobiology

  • 1st Edition
  • March 1, 2099
  • Shinya Yamamoto + 1 more
  • English
Drosophila in Fundamental and Translational Neurobiology provides an integrative picture of the fruit fly as a model system to understand fundamental neurobiology as well as its increasing power in translational medicine. This volume offers a broad but integrated view of the value of Drosophila research in fundamental neurobiology, cell biology, physiology, behavior and its more recent applications to neurology and psychiatry. Welcoming new people into the field as an accessible resource for both novices and experts, it serves as a source of new ideas and hypotheses for neuroscientists who study vertebrate model organisms as well as physician-scientists who focus on translational approaches using in vitro or in vivo model systems. The first set of chapters addresses the principles and general application of the state-of-the-art methods and technology that is commonly used by Drosophila biologists. Remaining sections focus on development and cell biology to highlight how parts of the nervous system are made and connected, the use of Drosophila to study sensory systems and integration, neurophysiology and behavior, and finally Drosophila as a disease model. Together these five independent but integrated sections provide a holistic view of the latest Drosophila research and its use in neurobiology as well as its increasing relevance to neurological and neuropsychiatric disorder research - bridging the gap between different neuroscientific fields for researchers both inside and outside of the fly field.

Therapeutic Discovery in Psychiatry

  • 1st Edition
  • February 1, 2099
  • Mark Tricklebank
  • English
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness 1 in 5 adults (46.6 million) experiences mental illness in a given year. With that number steadily increasing every year it is vital that we invest into new drug discoveries as treatment options. At present the number of drugs available to treat individual with psychiatric disorders varies widely, and it is crucially important to identify new therapeutic targets in order to develop new, effective drugs. Therapeutic Discovery in Psychiatry aims to provide researchers with a complete guide to new technologies and techniques that can effectively manage risk and deliver of new drugs for psychiatric disorders. This book not only addresses issues of reproducibility, but addresses other topics including, drug profiling in vitro, examining drug targets, brain circuits and behavior, medicinal chemistry, drug formulation and pharmacokinetics, and much more. Therapeutic Discovery in Psychiatry is a prime resource for researchers who are trying to understand the field of psychopharmacology.

A Chemometrics Guide for Chromatographers

  • 1st Edition
  • Volume 34
  • February 1, 2099
  • Gabriel Vivo-Truyols
  • English
A Chemometrics Guide for Chromatographers, Volume 33 in the Data Handling in Science and Technology series, helps bring chemometrics and statistics to the chromatographic field, with the aim of making the statistical tools understandable and useful for this community. There are excellent textbooks about chemometrics and chromatography available on the market, but none are devoted solely to bringing both fields together in a simple language. The nature of the data arising from chromatography deserves special attention (e.g., data alignment, hyphenation or two-dimensional chromatography) and is thoroughly covered in this comprehensive resource, along with other specialized chapters. Over recent decades, chemometricians have been busy developing algorithms and smart statistical techniques to (i) Optimize analytical instruments and (ii) Extract the maximum information out of the data generated by the instruments. It is no longer possible for separation scientists and chemometricians to work in isolation, as both spheres of knowledge must go hand-in-hand.
