»Book author: Minou, Ed. Bina

Book Description:
A collection of cutting-edge computational tools and experimental techniques to study how genes are regulated, and to reconstruct the regulatory networks through which various cell-types are produced. On the computational side, web-based technologies to localize genes, to access and retrieve data from microarray databases, to conduct comparative genomics, and to discover the potential “codes” in genomic DNA that may control the expression of protein-coding genes. Detailed experimental techniques described include methods for studying chromatin structure and allele-specific gene expression, methods for high-throughput analysis to characterize the transcription factor binding elements, and methods for isolating and identifying proteins that interact with DNA. The protocols follow the successful Methods in Molecular Biologyâ„¢ series format, each offering step-by-step instructions, an introduction outlining the principles behind the technique, lists of the necessary equipment and reagents, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding pitfalls.

Evidence-Based Imaging: Optimizing Imaging in Patient Care

Product Details

»Book Publisher: Springer (23 November, 2005)
»ISBN: 0387259163
»Book author: L. Santiago Medina, C. Craig Blackmore

Book Description:

Evidence-Based Imaging provides the reader with a user-friendly guide to the evidence-based science and the merit behind the diagnostic imaging studies performed in medicine. This book gives the reader a clinically relevant overview of epidemiology, selection of subjects for imaging, selection of imaging strategies, imaging test performance and cost, cost-effectiveness analysis, and applicability to children. Nine major areas of medical imaging are covered, with an emphasis on common diseases. These include Oncology (i.e., lung and breast cancer), Neuroimaging (i.e., Alzheimer’s disease and stroke), Gastroenterology (i.e., appendicitis and diverticulitis), Pediatrics (i.e., intussusception and spinal dysraphism), Respiratory System (i.e., sinusitis and pulmonary embolism), Musculoskeletal (i.e., osteomyelitis and septic arthritis), Cardiovascular (i.e., aortic dissection and carotid artery disease), Trauma (i.e., abdomen and head trauma), and Urologic (i.e., nephrolithiasis and urinary tract infection).

Radiologists, clinicians, residents, and others with an interest in medical imaging and a desire to keep current with the vast amount of evidence-based literature will find this text extremely useful.

The Childcare Answer Book

Product Details

»Book Publisher: Sourcebooks (August, 2005)
»ISBN: 1572484829
»Book author: Linda H. Connell

Book Description:
One of the most difficult decisions a parent must make is who is going to watch his or her child while they are at work. Childcare can be a tricky decision.

€ Do you work with an au pair agency? € Do you select an in-home sitter? € Do you drop your child off at a well-known daycare center? € How do you know the child care provider is trustworthy?

This book covers everything from background checks to creating contracts with the daycare provider. It also covers precautions such as checking the safety of the building in which the child care is provided (fire codes, smoke alarms, insurance, liability, etc.). Checklists for comparison of facilities and other types of childcare are also included for easy use.

Additional appendices are included with valuable resources and websites to assist the reader in finding the information he or she needs.

DNA Conformation and Transcription (Molecular Biology Intelligence Unit)

Product Details

»Book Publisher: Springer (16 August, 2005)
»ISBN: 0387255796
»Book author: Takashi Ohyama

Book Description:

Despite remarkable progress in genome science, we are still far from a clear understanding of how genomic DNA is packaged without entanglement into a nucleus, how genes are wrapped up in chromatin, how chromatin structure is faithfully inherited from mother to daughter cells, and how the differential expression of genes is enabled in a given cell type. Exploring and answering these questions constitutes one of the next frontiers in the 21st century.

We are just beginning to appreciate how Multifarious DNA structures provide additional structural and functional dimensions to chromatin organization and gene expression. DNA Conformation and Transcription is the first book that compiles the fruits of the studies that have been performed to date to solve the riddle ‘written’ in DNA conformation (”conformation code”). This book provides a comprehensive overview of the field by covering history of the field, up-to-date topics, clarifications of present day research, and future perspective of what is still to be discovered. Thus, it serves as an invaluable source of information on the “conformation code”.
