Applied Statistics for Network Biology

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dehmer, Matthias / Emmert-Streib, Frank / Graber, Armin, PUBLISHER: Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, This book introduces a number of cutting edge statistical methods which can be used for the analysis of genomic, proteomic and metabolomic data sets. In particular in the field of systems biology, researchers are trying to analyze as much data as possible in a given biological system (such as a cell or an organ). The appropriate statistical evaluation of these large scale data is critical for the correct interpretation and different experimental approaches require different approaches for the statistical analysis of these data. This book is written by biostatisticians and mathematicians but aimed at experimental researcher as well as computational biologists who often lack an appropriate background in statistical analysis.

Colouring the Past: The Significance of Colour in

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Jones, Andrew / MacGregor, Gavin, PUBLISHER: Berg Publishers, Colour shapes our world in profound, if sometimes subtle, ways. It helps us to classify, form opinions, and make aesthetic and emotional judgements. Colour operates in every culture as a symbol, a metaphor, and as part of an aesthetic system. Yet archaeologists have traditionally subordinated the study of colour to the form and material value of the objects they find and thereby overlook its impact on conceptual systems throughout human history. This book explores the means by which colour-based cultural understandings are formed, and how they are used to sustain or alter social relations. From colour systems in the Mesolithic, to Mesoamerican symbolism and the use of colour in Roman Pompeii, this book paints a new picture of the past. Through their close observation of monuments and material culture, authors uncover the subtle role colour has played in the construction of past social identities and the expression of ancient beliefs. Providing an original contribution to our understanding of past worlds of meaning, this book will be essential reading for archaeologists, anthropologists and historians, as well as anyone with an interest in material culture, art and aesthetics.

The Blood of Paradise, Preface by Richard Bausch

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Goodwin, Stephen / Bausch, Richard, PUBLISHER: University of Virginia Press, Stephen Goodwin's second novel is an emblematic tale of the sixties, of a sophisticated couple going back to the land. The restlessness that compels Anna and Steadman to move from the city to a small mountain farm in Virginia is brought into high relief by the cycles of the natural world, and by the arrival of Anna's demonic twin sister. Goodwin's prose, by turns stark and pastoral, outlines these struggles while leavening them with self-effacing humor and beauty. Peopled with hippies and mountain folk, artists and farmers both organic and traditional, not to mention an unforgettable child, The Blood of Paradise evokes an era through a sensitive and unstinting portrait of marriage.

GIS Basics

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Wise, Stephen / Wise Stephen, Stephen, PUBLISHER: CRC Press, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are computer systems for storing, displaying and analyzing spatial data. The past twenty years have seen a rapid growth in their use in government, commerce and academia, and they can be used for managing a network of utilities, from handling census data through to planning the location of a new supermarket. But how do they work? Stephen Wise has been a regular contributor to GeoEurope and his 'Back to Basics' articles have provided a clear and simple introduction to the inner workings of GIS for a non-specialist audience. He now presents the original articles with new material and provides a new coverage of both major types of GIS: vector and raster systems. Undergraduates and professionals who wish to improve their knowledge of GIS should get a better understanding of how GIS operate in the way that they do, such as how spatial data is stored on a computer, how the different methods affect the capabilities of the GIS, how basic operations performed and how the choice of algorithm affects the speed of the system.

This collection, edited by renowned scholars Pedro Noguera, Aida Hurtado and Edward Fergus, brings together current research on education, health, criminal justice, mental health and employment. By drawing attention to the challenges facing this segment of the population the volume collectively establishes the first empirical basis for finding solutions to these problems.

Quantitative PCR Protocols

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kochanowski, Bernd / Reischl, Udo, PUBLISHER: Humana Press, This is a significant collection of established and novel methods for the successful quantitation of nucleic acids.
