Book Discription:
Biological Thermodynamics provides an introduction to the study of energy transformations for students of the biological sciences. Donald Haynie uses an informal writing style to introduce this core subject in a manner that will appeal to biology and biochemistry undergraduate students. The emphasis of the text is placed on understanding basic concepts and developing problem-solving skills throughout the text. The level of mathematical complexity is kept to a minimum. Each chapter provides numerous examples taken from different areas of biochemistry, as well as extensive exercises to aid understanding. Topics covered include energy and its transformation, the First Law of Thermodynamics, the Second Law of Thermodynamics, Gibbs Free Energy, statistical thermodynamics, binding equilibria and reaction kinetics, and a survey of the most exciting areas of biological thermodynamics today, particularly the origin of life on Earth.

Genetic Engineering

An Introduction to Genetic engineering,3rd Ed

This should help the reader cope with more advanced information about the subject, as a sound grasp of the basic principles is an important part of any introduction to genetic engineering. I have again been gratified by the many positive comments about the second edition, and I hope that this new edition continues to serve a useful purpose as part of the introductory literature on this fascinating subject. As I found when preparing the second edition of this text, advances in genetics continue to be made at an ever increasing rate, which presents something of a dilemma when writing an introductory text on the subject. In the years since the second edition was published, many new applications of gene manipulation technology have been developed, covering an increasingly diverse range of disciplines and applications. The temptation in preparing this third edition, as was the case for its predecessor, was to concentrate on the applications and ignore the fundamental principles of the technology.

Genetic Engineering

Extreme Genetic Engineering:
an Introduction to Synthetic biology

Genetic engineering on steroids,” the social, environmental and bio-weapons threats of synthetic biology surpass the possible dangers and abuses of biotech. Synbio is inspired by the convergence of nanoscale biology, computing and engineering. Using a laptop computer, publishedgene sequence information and mail-order synthetic DNA, just about anyone has the potential to construct genes or entire genomes from scratch (including those of lethal pathogens). Scientists predict that within 2-5 years it will be possible to synthesise any virus; the first de novo bacterium will make its debut in 2007; in 5-10 years simple bacterial genomes will be synthesised routinely and it will become no big deal to cobble together a designer genome, insert it into an empty bacterial cell and - voil? - give birth to a living, self-replicating organism. Other synthetic biologistshope to reconfigure the genetic pathways of existing organisms to perform new functions – suchas manufacturing high-value drugs or chemicals.

Genetic Algorithms and Evolution

Genetic Algorithms and Evolution
Strategy in Engineering and Computer Science

This second edition is more focused towards real world applications than the first which was more theoretical in nature. It may even be considered a natural evolution of "Genetic Algorithms in Engineering and Computer Science" which aims to show how Evolutionary Computing is now ready for industrial applications. The book opens with an interesting chapter on how to model and simulate evolutionary processes computational and why this is valuable. Then four chapters follow dealing with theoretical aspects of evolutionary computing. Adaptive niching, representation issues, Immunized Artificial Systems are some of the theoretical aspects here addressed. The second chapter proposes a novel scheme of Algorithms andEvolutionary Strategies which include the design of 100% functional arithmetic circuits, cam shape optimization, the design of multilayer optical coatings, and the multi objective optimization of aerodynamic airfoils for the minimization of the electromagnetic back scattering.

Genetics 101

This is the work of the population geneticist. Population geneticists are interested in gene flow, immigration and emigration, the effects of disruptions in populations and how these events influence the frequency of a trait in a given group of individuals. At the broadest level, evolutionary geneticists and genomicists examine how the sum of the genes in a species, also called the genome, changes over long periods of time. The past decade has seen a tremendous focus on this level of genetics as new technologies and computer applications have allowed the generation and study of large databases of genetic information. Genetics is the study of inheritance. It is a broad science that examines the molecular basis of inheritance at the cellular level, the transmission of traits from generation to generation, and the movement of genes within and between populations. As a science, genetics is both very young and very old. It has only been in the past 50 years that we have discovered the structure of the molecule that carries our genetic information from generation to generation. That molecule is of course deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. Yet despite the fact that we have only been studying DNA for a short period of time, the study of genetics now permeates all aspects of the scientific world and our lives.

The Human Germ Line

The Science and Ethics of engineering The human Germ Line

The other purpose of the plan is to encourage retention of a disciplined approach to analysis of new breakthroughs. We must not lose sight of the principles upon which we wish to guide our acceptance of new technologies and, at the same time, we need resist the urge to factor into logical analysis fundamental philosophical issues that are themselves impossible to resolve through logic or fact gathering. This is not to say that our fundamental concepts of right and wrong are not important for the process of judging new capabilities in the area of genetic engineering, but rather, to indicate that these concepts and principles, as we see them, must assume their proper role in the reasoning process. My third goal is to provide an appreciation. The lack of a holistic and comprehensive understanding of human genetic manipulation on the part of the public as well as groups of specialists has led to a disorganized and often misleading discussion of the issue. One major goal of this book is to demonstrate the importance of recognizing the interrelationship of these scientific and medical fields when evaluating the appropriateness of genetic modification.
