The notion of resonance is one of those notions that are often employed not only in their direct physical meaning but also rather intuitively in order to express a kind of general echoing of a complex event. Biology and medicine are among such close-toscientific-but-not-exact customers of this notion. In physics, resonance means a condition in which an oscillating system shows the maximum amplitude response to an alternating driving force. Everyone is quite familiar with the mechanical resonance usually studied in the classrooms: the oscillations of a pendulum or a string would initiate the os...

This book discusses purple loosestrife, a large, perennial, wetland plant that was introduced to the northeastern United States and Canada in the 1800s from Europe, probably as seed contained in soil used as ship's ballast.

This work analyzes the network architectures that generate robust properties to various types of perturbations and explores some design principles underlying molecular architectures and develops new technologies to rationally design a biochemical system at the molecular levels.

The combination of familiarity with biological fundamentals and the acquisition of skills traditionally associated with biology, throughout the curriculum, should prepare engineering students for careers in biological engineering.

Using circuit engineering to predictively reorganize, rewire, and reconstruct cellular regulation serves as the ultimate means of testing and understanding how cellular phenotype emerges from systems-level network function.

Progress in the development of genome and epigenome editing tools and in the engineering of designer cells with programmable genetic circuits is expanding approaches to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease and to establish personalized theranostic strategies for next-generation medicines.

This text is intended for the sophomore level course in human variation/human biology taught in anthropology departments and features contemporary topics in human biology such as the Human Genome Project, genetic engineering, the effects of stress, obesity, disability and pollution.

This book was published by FHTET as part of the technology transfer series and contains material adapted from the manual for the Biology and Biological Control of Leafy Spurge.

A large amount of research has been carried out on this disease, and much progress has been made in understanding its pathogenesis, however, the primary cause of the disease still remains elusive.

Although the book is primarily a textbook, needing a lecturer's interpretation, it is clearly written and supplemented with pertinent graphs and illustrations, and a need for those in private practice to understand population dynamics and control.
