Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Great advances in a medical or surgical discipline originate from courageous and unabashed, committed professionals who are fearless in exploring new avenues of management or treatment. Great advances in the chosen field are dependent on those who think and practice innovation and discovery. Great advances in selected or wide areas of medicine or surgery are the response of long-term, dedicated professionals who believe in principles of innovation and discovery. To innovate or to discover can become a more frequently sought out process if surgeons or other specialists advance their knowledge to include novel concepts throughout their professional exercise. Awareness of innovation or discovery represents the most important step toward reaching the heights of these conceptual ways of viewing the practice of medicine or surgery. To think of innovation or discovery is to begin the path of accepting challenges and new developments when practicing medicine or surgery. The advice for young and mature surgeons alike would be to innovate whenever you can, to discover wherever possible. Advance your knowledge and maintain your innovative spirit. Keeping your activities in tune with innovative or discovery ideas creates the right spirit for advancing medicine or surgery. Innovation and discovery are unique and worth pursuing. Creating the environment for them to flourish is the responsibility of the clinical or basic science specialist. Innovation and discovery are in our minds. Do not let time pass by and start innovating and discovering today. There is no time to waste. Enjoy your path as the innovator and/or discoverer of the future.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Analyzes Randomness in Major Genetic Processes and EventsNo matter how far science advances, the proportion of what is knowable to what is random will remain unchanged, and attempts to ignore this critical threshold are futile at best. With the revolutionary explosion in genetic information discovery, it is crucially important to recognize the underlying limitations of scientific prediction in genetics. Genetics and Randomness furthers the understanding of the role randomness plays in critical biological processes. The book also navigates the complex nature of genetic uncertainty from different points of view and at various levels of biological organization. Avoids Unnecessary Technical Details and Specific Terminology Exploring areas ranging from basic quantum mechanics and molecular genetics to modern evolutionary genetics and the philosophy of mathematics, this well-organized text discusses: - Spontaneity of mutations and their relation to subatomic randomness - Deep links between subatomic fluctuations and long-term macroscopic changes in living organisms - The multitude of random events that occur during development - Segregation, genetic drift, and natural selection Randomness and uncertainty are not occasional and regretful deviations from the 'true' principles upon which life is built. Genetics and Randomness illustrates the ubiquitous nature of randomness as an integral feature of all essential processes, effectively embracing a probabilistic understanding of the phenomena of life.…
