The Determination of a Lifespan
Human lifespan differs by as much as 30 years across the world due to factors like meals, disease, and genes. This book clarifies these factors and suggests how to live longer. It also surveys animals and plants living for 10,000 years or longer.
An Analysis of the Research on Sugarcane Yellow Leaf
For 30 years, sugarcane yellow leaf (SYL) has been known as a viral disease. After analyzing decades of confusing and contradictory research, the author argues it is a physiological syndrome. This book aims to disentangle the issue and show the truth behind the condition.
The God Molecule
Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a molecular fossil that tells the story of the evolution of the genetic code and the origin of life. Analysis of its pre-life sequences provides clear insights into how life began and shows why tRNA is required to generate life on Earth or another planet.
This book is a comprehensive guide to colloidal and supramolecular drug delivery systems, designed to conquer pharmacokinetic impediments. It covers their classification, preparation, characterization, and the regulatory strategies required to launch them in the market.
How Life Emerges from Inanimate Matter
This book describes how life emerges from inanimate matter. It analyzes this transition as it occurs in space, from simple particles to individuals; in time, through biological evolution; and in embryonic development, offering a unique, multi-disciplinary analysis of all three.
This book explains the fundamental processes of evolutionary genetics, such as mutation, natural selection, and speciation. It provides an up-to-date overview of the field, discussing the theories of Darwin and Mendel, adaptation, and the origin of new genes.
The Genome of an Organism
This book explains the fundamental processes of evolutionary genetics, such as mutation, natural selection, and speciation. It provides an up-to-date overview of the field, discussing the theories of Darwin and Mendel, adaptation, and the origin of new genes.
Evolution and I discusses and sheds light on human knowledge and evolution from a range of perspectives including morals and ethics, sex and gender, religion, artificial intelligence, and microorganisms, with often surprising conclusions illuminating who we are as humans.
Evolution is the mesh that connects every biological phenomenon. This book highlights how evolutionary science provides practical applications and tools to deal with current problems concerning humanity, such as disease, food production, and environmental destruction.
Measuring the Evolution Controversy
Why do so many people reject evolution? The authors postulate the “incompatibility hypothesis”: a fundamental conflict between scientific rationalism and supernatural belief. They test this by examining how education and religiosity impact evolution’s acceptance.
Ageing is not a disease. In an era of unfulfilled social care, this book presents an anthropological view that focuses on three essential conditions of human life that become vulnerable with advancing age: relating to others, being in the world, and leaving a legacy.
How Human Nature Fosters Violence, War and Genocide
Why are we the way we are? This book examines mass violence and genocide, arguing it builds upon a basic human tendency from our evolutionary background to support our own group and kill those considered “others,” often hiding behind designations of religion, race, or ethnicity.
This is the first modern, extensive study of Late Cretaceous planktic foraminifera, a group of paramount importance for specialists in the oil industry and academia. This volume is dedicated to globotruncanids, describing 61 species with high-quality, spectacular photographs.
Biologists in the Age of Totalitarianism
These gripping biographies reveal the hidden lives of biologists in the Third Reich. Dr. Nowak, who knew many personally, uses newly opened archives to tell the stories of victims and perpetrators caught in the ideological nets of Nazism, Stalinism, and Maoism.
Chemistry for a Better Tomorrow
Chemistry is the unseen architect of progress, turning elements into life-saving medicines, sustainable materials, and clean energy solutions. This book highlights breakthroughs that convert obstacles into opportunities, engineering a brighter tomorrow—one molecule at a time.
This validated finite element (FE) human head model predicts traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in vehicle collisions. With improved biofidelity, the model predicts injury types and severity, helping to better understand injury mechanisms and develop advanced restraint systems.
Studying the Mosquito
Featuring chapters by eminent researchers, this book explores novel mosquito control methods. It provides valuable insights into recent interdisciplinary concepts, from AI and ML to immunology, making it an asset for researchers, biologists, and medical personnel.
What Is Life and What Is Consciousness
What is life? What is consciousness? This book tackles these age-old questions with a new concept: matter-related information. It demonstrates that information is an indispensable contributor to the organization and functionality of all living systems.
Basic Biology for Born Engineers
While the laws of physics rely on calculus, this approach fails for biology. Living things are not continuous; they are discrete and amazingly exact. This book presents a novel view of biology as the science of ‘living mosaics’, made of discrete, yet interacting, ‘tiles’.
This book examines the molecular underpinnings and clinical implications of epigenetics in cancer. It explores epigenetic therapeutics that target the alterations driving cancer’s onset and spread, covering the latest developments, biomarkers for diagnosis, and future prospects.
