The advances in genomic technologies, such as microarrays and high throughput sequencing, have expanded the realm of possibilities for capturing data and analyzing it using automated computer driven bioinformatics tools. With the completion of the sequencing of genomes of human and several model organisms, a quest for scientific discoveries being fueled by integrative and multidimensional techniques in mathematics and computational sciences. In this volume, leading researchers and experts have provided an overview of significant concepts from biological, mathematical, and computational perspectives. It provides a high level view of fungal genomic data integration and annotation, classification of proteins and identification of vaccine targets, identification of secretome or secreted proteins in fungal genomes, as well as tools for analyzing microarray expression profiles. more...

Bioluminescence and chemiluminescence are among the most important technologies in the life sciences. This latest volume of the long-running biannual Bioluminescence and Chemiluminescence symposium series presents the latest developments in the fundamental and applied aspects of bioluminescence and chemiluminescence. The book covers the fundamental aspects of bioluminescence, including beetle, marine bacterial and Cypridina bioluminescence, and the fundamental aspects of chemiluminescence, including 1,2-dioxetanes. It also presents recent developments in instrumentation and devices and a wide range of applications of bioluminescence and chemiluminescence. The applications are succinctly described and include applications of luminescence in antioxidant research, phagocytosis, microbiology, ecology, food and environmental testing, immunoassay, enzyme assays, DNA probe assays, and reporter gene and gene expression assays. The proceedings have been selected for coverage in:. • Biochemistry & Biophysics Citation Index™. • Chemistry Citation Index™. • Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings® (ISTP® / ISI Proceedings). • Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings). • CC Proceedings — Engineering & Physical Sciences. • CC Proceedings — Biomedical, Biological & Agricultural Sciences. more...

A project on “Biomechanics at Micro- and Nanoscale Levels”, the title of this book, was approved by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan in 2003; and this four-year project is now being carried out by fourteen prominent Japanese researchers. At the 5th World Congress of Biomechanics held in Munich, Germany, from 29th July to 4th August, 2006, we organized the following sessions: Thread 3: Biomechanics at micro- and nanoscale levels — (1) cell mechanics; (2) molecular biomechanics; (3) mechanobiology at micro- and nanoscale levels; and (4) computational biomechanics. The present proceedings volume covers topics related to these sessions, and follows on from where the previous two volumes left off. This book is essential reading for those interested in understanding current trends of research in the area of biomechanics at micro- and nanoscale levels. more...
