[PDF] Nucleoside Analogues: Chemistry, Biology, and Medical Applications Wolfram Saenger (auth.), Richard T. Walker, Erik De Clercq, Fritz Eckstein (eds.)

Image
This publication contains the Review Lectures given at a joint NATO Advanced Study Institute and a FEB S Advanced Study Course, held at Sogesta (Nr. Urbino), Italy from the 7th - 18th May 1979. The Course entitled "Nucleoside Analogues : Chemistry, Biology and Medical Applications" was held for several reasons. In the past few years, many useful and potentially-useful nucleoside analogues have either reached the stage of clinical use or are undergoing clinical trials. Many more compounds have been synthesised by the organic chemist and little more has been done with them other than possibly a few perfunctory biological tests. This is often due to either a lack of interest or an inadequate knowledge of the testing proced? ures available or a lack of communication between the chemist, biochemist, pharmacologist and the clinician such that few compounds receive the testing and evaluation which they deserve. The aim of this meeting was to gather together many of the experts in th...

Plant diseases can have an enormous impact on our lives. In a world where total crop failure can quickly lead to human misery and starvation, accurate diagnostics play a key role in keeping plants free from pathogens. In Plant Pathology: Techniques and Protocols, expert researchers provide methods which are vital to the diagnosis of plant diseases across the globe, addressing all three categories of plant pathology techniques: traditional, serological, and nucleic acid. Chapters examine recent and developing issues with crop identity and authenticity, allowing workers to genotype samples from two major food groups. Composed in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology? series format, each chapter contains a brief introduction, step-by-step methods, a list of necessary materials, and a Notes section which shares tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and reader-friendly, Plant Pathology: Techniques and Protocols is an incredible guide which will soon...

[PDF] Software Update As a Mechanism for Resilience and Security: Proceedings of a Workshop and Medicine Engineering National Academies of Sciences; Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences; Computer Science and Telecommunications Board; Forum on Cyber Resilience; Committee on Cyber Resilience Workshop Series; Lynette I. Millett; Anne Frances Johnson

Software update is an important mechanism by which security changes and improvements are made in software, and this seemingly simple concept encompasses a wide variety of practices, mechanisms, policies, and technologies. To explore the landscape further, the Forum on Cyber Resilience hosted a workshop featuring invited speakers from government, the private sector, and academia. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop. https://digzon.com/product/pdf-software-update-as-a-mechanism-for-resilience-and-security-proceedings-of-a-workshop-and-medicine-engineering-national-academies-of-sciences-division-on-engineering-and-physical-sciences-comp/?fsp_sid=177720 #simple #Physical

[PDF] Renal Disease: Techniques and Protocols Ellen M. Levee (auth.), Michael S. Goligorsky MD, PhD (eds.)

Image
Today's investigator, overwhelmed by the information avalanche, may find it difficult to analyze emerging advances in technology. In Renal Disease: Techniques and Protocols, leading experts distill their experience into user-friendly methods for studying fluid-electrolyte homeostasis and kidney function in health and disease. Described in step-by-step detail, the techniques move from the molecular level to the whole organism, and from simple models to integrative physiology. Here the researcher will find established disease models, methods for optimizing renal disease research, as well as much help in choosing imaging techniques for studies of the kidney's structure and function in health, disease, and during embryonic development. Subjects covered include molecular diagnostics, strategies for studying the molecular mechanisms of kidney disease, technical means to assess the functional correlates of disease, and the planning of clinical trials. In addition to detailed instructi...

[pdf] Optical resonance and two-level atoms Leslie Allen, Joseph H. Eberly

Image
If you're looking for an introduction to optics or atomic physics, this book may be a little terse and advanced. But if you have some exposure to optics and lasers, and a good foundation in electromagnetism and basic quantum mechanics, this is a great book to have. The authors discuss the semiclassical two-level model to a level of detail which is hard to find in other standard texts. And although there is a good amount of detail, the book does not get lost in the mathematics, making it easily accessible to the experimentalist as well as to the theorist. I particularly like the treatment of the Bloch equations and pulse propagation. On the down-side, the book does tend to be terse in some areas, giving minimal discussion of the physics (although at least it does discuss the physics!), and some of the derivations are little difficult to follow. Also, the brevity of the table of contents makes it a little difficult to figure out what the book actually covers. And th...
