Next Generation Sequencing - Advances, Applications and Challenges
(2016)
Next generation sequencing (NGS) has surpassed the traditional Sanger sequencing method to become the main choice for large-scale, genome-wide sequencing studies with ultra-high-throughput production and a huge reduction ...
Drug Discovery
(2013)
Natural products are a constant source of potentially active compounds for the treatment of various disorders. The Middle East and tropical regions are believed to have the richest supplies of natural products in the world. ...
Metabolomics
(2012)
Metabolomics is a rapidly emerging field in life sciences, which aims to identify and quantify metabolites in a biological system. Analytical chemistry is combined with sophisticated informatics and statistics tools to ...
Chapter 13 Modelling Seismic Wave Propagation for Geophysical Imaging
(2012)
The Earth is an heterogeneous complex media from the mineral composition scale (10−6m) to the global scale ( 106m). The reconstruction of its structure is a quite challenging problem because sampling methodologies are ...
Chapter 8 Signalling DNA Damage
(2012)
During our lifetime, the genome is constantly being exposed to different types of damage caused either by exogenous sources (radiations and/or genotoxic compound) but also as byproducts of endogenous processes (reactive ...
Chapter 1 Alloy Steel: Properties and Use First-Principles Quantum Mechanical Approach to Stainless Steel Alloys
(2011)
Accurate description of materials requires the most advanced atomic-scale techniques from both experimental and theoretical areas. In spite of the vast number of available techniques,
however, the experimental study of ...
Chapter 3 Optoelectronics and Bio Devices on Paper Powered by Solar Cells
(2017)
The employment of printing techniques as cost-effective methods to fabricate low cost,
flexible, disposable and sustainable solar cells is intimately dependent on the substrate
properties and the adequate electronic ...
Nanostructured Solar Cells
(2017)
Nanostructured solar cells are very important in renewable energy sector as well as in environmental aspects, because it is environment friendly. The nano-grating structures (such as triangular or conical shaped) have a ...
Chapter 3 Xenotropic Murine Leukemia Virus-Related Virus as a Case Study: Using a Precautionary Risk Management Approach for Emerging Blood-Borne Pathogens in Canada
(2012)
In October 2009 it was reported that 68 of 101 patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) in the United States, when tested, were infected with a novel gamma retrovirus, xenotropic
murine leukemia virus-related virus ...
