Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - High-throughput, next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are capable of producing a huge amount of sequence data in a relatively short time and have revolutionized genome research in recent years. The powerful and flexible nature of NGS has made it an indispensable tool for a broad spectrum of biological sciences, and NGS technologies have transformed scientific research in many fields. Written by experts from around the world, this book explores the most recent advances in NGS instrumentation and data analysis. The book begins with a comprehensive description of current NGS platforms, their sequencing chemistries, instrument specifications, and general workflows and procedures. A separate chapter is dedicated to low-quantity, single molecule sequencing technology. Further chapters explore the application of NGS technologies in various fields, including polymorphism detection, sRNA research, rare variant detection, large variant detection, exome sequencing, plant development studies, microbial metagenomics, and studies on the human microbiome. Practical and cutting-edge, this volume will assist all scientists who wish to apply these innovative research tools.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Mehrfache Reisen oder Pilgerfahrten nach Südindien führten Wolfgang Herbert, den verspäteten Hippie , mit Vorliebe an den Fuß des Arunachala, eines heiligen Berges in Tamil Nadu, wo der wohl paradigmatischste Weisheitslehrer des modernen Indien, Ramana Maharishi, gewirkt hatte. Berichtet wird über historische, mentale und leibliche Begegnungen mit Botschaftern des geistigen Indien stets balancierend zwischen Skepsis und Offenheit. Allerorten wird dabei ausgelotet, wie weit eine unter den Vorzeichen der Globalisierung echte Begegnung zwischen Ost und West möglich sein mag. Das Buch ist eine Collage aus Reisejournalen, Reflexionen über orientalische Philosopheme und deren Ertrag qua meditativer Exerzitien. Es erlaubt eine kaprizenhafte Lektüre, querfeldein und nach thematischem Gusto. Indien darf auch als Chiffre für die Suche nach dem wahren Selbst stehen, einer romantischen Sehnsucht nach wie seit altersher kolportiert dem Land der Weisen und Seher. Dabei begegnet der Autor einer genauso schockierenden wie befreienden Weltsicht: einer radikal non-dualen Ontologie. Entwickelt in den philosophischen Endnoten zu den heiligen Schriften der Hindus, den Veden, meisterlich entfaltet von Shankara als Advaita-Vedânta, der Lehre der Nicht-Zweiheit und gegenpolig elaboriert in den metaphysischen Spekulationen der mahâyâna-buddhistischen Weisheitsliteratur. Dabei geht es um authentische Mystik und die gipfelt immer in All-Einheitslehren: im Abendland eher verfemt, aber unterströmig tradiert und weitergeflüstert von Plotin über Eckhart bis Spinoza und Ken Wilber. Sie werden zu Verbündeten im Ringen um eine Synthese oder einer Versöhnung zwischen okzidentalem und asiatischem Denken. Die Exkursionen sind dabei auch stets experimenteller Natur sie führen ins Labor des eigenen Geistes. Der Autor hat sich viele Jahre mit yogischen und zen-buddhistischen Meditationsweisen befasst und versucht diese auf einer spirituellen Landkarte zu verorten.Dr. Wolfgang Herbert stammt aus Westösterreich und lebt als Professor für Vergleichende Kulturwissenschaften (Universität Tokushima) seit Ende der 1980er Jahren in Japan. 248 pp. Deutsch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book addresses herbicides and their use as an important aspect of modern weed management and strives to place them in an ecological framework. Many weed scientists believe agriculture is a continuing struggle with weeds--without good weed control, good and profitable agriculture is impossible. Each agricultural discipline sees itself as central to agriculture's success and continued progress, and weed science is no exception. While not denying the importance of weed management to successful agriculture, this book places it in a larger ecological context. The roles of culture, economics, and politics in weed management are also discussed, enabling scientists and students to understand the larger effects on society. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Introduction to Probability, Second Edition, discusses probability theory in a mathematically rigorous, yet accessible way. This one-semester basic probability textbook explains important concepts of probability while providing useful exercises and examples of real world applications for students to consider. This edition demonstrates the applicability of probability to many human activities with examples and illustrations. After introducing fundamental probability concepts, the book proceeds to topics including conditional probability and independence; numerical characteristics of a random variable; special distributions; joint probability density function of two random variables and related quantities; joint moment generating function, covariance and correlation coefficient of two random variables; transformation of random variables; the Weak Law of Large Numbers; the Central Limit Theorem; and statistical inference. Each section provides relevant proofs, followed by exercises and useful hints.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Mass Production of Beneficial Organisms: Invertebrates and Entomopathogens is an essential reference and teaching tool for researchers in developed and developing countries working to produce 'natural enemies' in biological control and integrated pest management programs. As we become aware of the negative impact of pesticides in human health and on the environment, interest is rapidly increasing in developing biological pest control alternatives. Tremendous advances have been made in beneficial organism technology, such as insect predators and parasitoids, mite predators, entomopathogenic nematodes, fungi, bacteria, and viruses. However, developing techniques to mass produce these biological control agents is not enough if the cost of commercialization is prohibitive. Advancing mass production to the level of economic feasibility is critical, so these new technologies can compete in the open market. This book educates academic and industry researchers, and enables further development of mass production so new technologies can compete in the open market. It is also an excellent resource for those researching beneficial arthropod mass production and technologies for other uses, including for study and application in biotechnology and biomedical research.
