Drawing on years of experience working with synthetic biologists, the established team of social scientists behind this book will explore the extent to which concerns about the misuse of synthetic biology to make biological weapons are realistic or exaggerated. Will synthetic biology enable the creation of dangerous viruses from scratch? Will synthetic organisms be used to deliberately inflict disease? Could the life sciences become the death ...

This book is the first comprehensive monograph focusing on the recent developments of quantum white noise calculus and its applications. Quantum white noise calculus is a quantum extension of the Gaussian white noise calculus and provides a useful toolbox for the analysis of operators on Boson Fock space based on an infinite dimensional distribution theory of Schwartz type. This volume starts with the famous Wiener-Ito-Segal isomorphism betwee...

In this volume various aspects of non-Archimedean quantum systems are discussed, such as spectral properties of their Schrödinger operators, and their ability to be approximated by finite systems. Non-Archimedean stochastic methods are also discussed.

This invaluable book provides both an introduction to the rudiments of perturbative string theory and a more detailed introduction to the more current topic of D-brane dynamics. The approach taken is pedagogical, with much of the technical detail streamlined. It is the concise nature of this rapid, but highly coherent, introduction to the subject that distinguishes it from other books on string theory or D-brane dynamics. The third edition has...

Designing reliable, complex and dependable software systems is a continuous challenge to the software engineering community. The contribution of this book is two fold: bring to light a large body of knowledge on this issue and proposing basic techniques to build secure high-performance software systems. The first part focuses on performance requirements analysis for distributed software systems. Techniques for analyzing and testing software pe...

The aim of this book is to present a practical guide to therapeutic problems that may commonly face junior doctors. It is concise and relatively didactic, but does also discuss controversies that are of importance to prescribers.

Marketing for Economists and Life Scientists presents a new perspective on marketing, i.e., viewing it as a mechanism to reduce pre-purchase risks. Since products are designed, produced and marketed to pre-selected target markets, there are consumers whose preferences differ from that design and may find ex post that the product does not fit their needs. This long assumed heterogeneity among producers and consumers is viewed as the ground for ...

Regeneration of Salivary Glands examines the current state of salivary regeneration by understanding the normal processes of development, function and tissue repair. It also explores the experimental and clinical approaches to stem cell therapy, mostly for irradiation induced salivary gland damage.Irradiation of head and neck cancers often involves the inclusion of salivary glands as it is difficult to focus the beams accurately enough. As a r...

This book is a great reference text for MBA and MA Economics and Finance students, as well as for professional covering a broad range of topics dealing with quantifying risk in a variety of decision-making settings. The book provides readers with rigorous techniques for applied risk problems, offering a broad scope of simulation techniques with minimal mathematical background required.

Chemistry of organoboronates is an important upcoming area in organic synthesis and catalysis. Organoboronates are relatively stable species lacking inherent toxicity and can replace other toxic and flammable organometallic reagents, such as organolithium, organomagnesium and organotin compounds. Furthermore, many of these highly unique species can be generated using one-pot procedures. Catalytic generation of organoboronates thus has immense ...

This medical handbook is a summary of the essentials needed for the competent practice of psychiatry, specifically for psychiatrists in training. Focusing on clinical practice and applications, each chapter provides a summary of treatment approaches that can be used for quick reference. Graphics, illustrations, and tables are used extensively for ease of access to information. Chapters that are relevant to the practice of psychiatry in various...

Presents an integrative approach to understanding electricity markets. This book combines engineering, economics, and regulatory and public policy, with business analysis. It also presents the key concepts in these fields relevant to the study of electricity markets.

Many molecular electronic structure studies are performed within non-relativistic quantum mechanics, although there has been a recognition of the importance of relativistic effects of molecules. This work descibes theoretical and computational apparatus for a relativistic quantum chemisty.
