Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The vast explosion of high-resolution molecular data in the past few years has provided an unprecedented glimpse into the microbial world. This book synthesizes current viewpoints and knowledge on microbial ecological theory. The book has assembled a collection of essays by a diverse group of well-respected scientists who merge the boundaries of ecology and microbiology to explore some of the central tenets of macro-ecological theory with a microbial perspective. The contributors explore the mainstays of macro-ecology asking questions such as 'do microbes have biogeography ' and 'does a microbial species concept exist ' Additionally, the book shows how high-resolution molecular data is informing and underpinning the evolution of microbial ecological theory. It demonstrates how the application of macro-ecological theory to the microbial world is not only enhancing our understanding of microbial ecology, but it also provides a reference point for the development of new theories. Written for graduate students and academic researchers, the book encourages cross-disciplinary thinking and provides direction and perspective on the still fledgling field of microbial ecological theory. It is highly recommended for all microbiology libraries.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Two-component systems are signaling pathways that regulate many bacterial characteristics, such as virulence, pathogenicity, symbiosis, motility, nutrient uptake, secondary metabolite production, metabolic regulation, cell division, and many more. These systems regulate physiological processes in response to environmental or cellular parameters and enable adaptation to changing conditions. They are also potential targets for anti-microbial drug design. In recent years, significant advances have been made in the understanding of the role of two-component systems, and molecular studies have uncovered basic mechanisms of signaling. In this book, expert contributors from around the world present the current knowledge on two-component systems in bacteria and critically evaluate the vast amount of exciting new information that has been brought to light in recent years. The book covers various topics, including: the structure-function analysis of two-component systems \* the sensing mechanisms \* essential or atypical two-component systems and signaling networks \* two-component systems in stress responses \* two-component systems in developmental processes \* two-component systems in virulence and symbiosis. The book provides a comprehensive overview for graduate students, academic scientists, and researchers in the pharmaceutical industry. This major reference work is essential reading for everyone working on bacterial regulation or anti-microbial drug design and is a recommended volume for all microbiology libraries.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Feature Extraction and Image Processing for Computer Vision is an essential guide to the implementation of image processing and computer vision techniques, with tutorial introductions and sample code in Matlab. Algorithms are presented and fully explained to enable complete understanding of the methods and techniques demonstrated. As one reviewer noted, 'The main strength of the proposed book is the exemplar code of the algorithms.'Fully updated with the latest developments in feature extraction, including expanded tutorials and new techniques, this new edition contains extensive new material on Haar wavelets, Viola-Jones, bilateral filtering, SURF, PCA-SIFT, moving object detection and tracking, development of symmetry operators, LBP texture analysis, Adaboost, and a new appendix on color models. Coverage of distance measures, feature detectors, wavelets, level sets and texture tutorials has been extended.Named a 2012 Notable Computer Book for Computing Methodologies by Computing Reviews Essential reading for engineers and students working in this cutting-edge fieldIdeal module text and background reference for courses in image processing and computer visionThe only currently available text to concentrate on feature extraction with working implementation and worked through derivation 632 pp. Englisch.
