Pathogen Detection Methods Biosensor Development


Free Download Eva Baldrich, "Pathogen Detection Methods: Biosensor Development "
English | ISBN: 1616682981 | 2010 | 142 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Timely pathogen detection is an important issue for the efficient prevention of outbreaks in the populations world-wide. The development of the sensor biotechnology in the last decades has set the basis for improved, faster and simplified detection of multiple analytes in complex matrices and a number of electrochemical, piezoelectric, and optical biosensors that have been applied with different success to the detection of either whole bacteria or bacterial components. The main advantages of this new technologic approach rely on the rapid response, cost-effectiveness, easiness of manipulation and the possibility of performing on-site and real-time analysis of the samples provided by biosensors. This book reviews the biosensor technology with a focus on its potential application to pathogen detection in the human food chain.

Photosynthesis Methods and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology)


Free Download Photosynthesis: Methods and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology) by Sarah Covshoff
English | April 23, 2024 | ISBN: 1071637894 | 481 pages | MOBI | 18 Mb
This fully updated edition explores fundamental protocols for the study of photosynthesis in a manner accessible to a broad spectrum of researchers. Featuring protocols to examine light response curves and gas exchange measurements for a variety of samples, the book includes new protocols on photosynthesis in the adaxial and abaxial sides of a leaf, non-foliar organs, and aquatic systems. Protocols and best practice for eddy covariance, thermal, spectral, and hyperspectral imaging and data analysis, as well as stable isotope labeling and quantification of photosynthetic metabolites, are introduced alongside fresh insights on many more topics. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Proteomics Methods, Applications and Limitations


Free Download Giselle C. Rancourt, "Proteomics: Methods, Applications and Limitations "
English | ISBN: 161668691X | 2012 | 194 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures and functions. Proteins are vital parts of living organisms, as they are the main components of the physiological metabolic pathways of cells. The proteome is the entire complement of proteins, including the modifications made to a particular set of proteins, produced by an organism or system. This book presents and discusses various topical data on proteomics, including: proteomic technologies used in celiac disease, protein location in plant proteomics, the prediction of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) using proteomics, proteomic studies of mild cognitive impairment, among others.

Numerical and Statistical Methods for Bioengineering Applications in MATLAB


Free Download Numerical and Statistical Methods for Bioengineering: Applications in MATLAB (Cambridge Texts in Biomedical Engineering) by Michael R. King, Nipa A. Mody
English | November 29, 2010 | ISBN: 0521871581 | 594 pages | PDF | 7.33 Mb
The first MATLAB-based numerical methods textbook for bioengineers that uniquely integrates modelling concepts with statistical analysis, while maintaining a focus on enabling the user to report the error or uncertainty in their result. Between traditional numerical method topics of linear modelling concepts, nonlinear root finding, and numerical integration, chapters on hypothesis testing, data regression and probability are interweaved. A unique feature of the book is the inclusion of examples from clinical trials and bioinformatics, which are not found in other numerical methods textbooks for engineers. With a wealth of biomedical engineering examples, case studies on topical biomedical research, and the inclusion of end of chapter problems, this is a perfect core text for a one-semester undergraduate course.
