Profoundly influenced by the analyses, of contemporary linguistics, these original contributions bring a number of different views to bear on important issues in a controversial area of study.

A unique feature of the book is the integration of a computer algebra system into the flow of ideas in a supporting but unobtrusive role. Syntax for both the Maple and Matlab systems is provided in a tandem format.

Bioinformation Discovery illustrates the power of biological data in knowledge discovery. It describes biological data types and representations with examples for creating a workflow in Bioinformation discovery.

Containing contributions from experts from the USA, Europe and New Zealand, this book provides an overview of the molecular mechanisms associated with flowering.

Written by internationally recognized experts, Pulmonary Hypertension bridges the gap between pulmonology and cardiology to provide clinicians in both

Covering general biology and every aspect of farming freshwater prawns, from current research to development and commercial practice, this has become widely

The reproductive success and subsequent 'recruitment' of young fish into the exploitable population is the single most important factor for determining annual abundance levels of fishes in major commercial fisheries. The objective of this important new book is to argue for stronger linkages between basic and applied research on fisheries recruitment.

This book reviews the biological science and background to breeding meat poultry, specifically broiler, turkey and duck. These commercial birds have been changed by genetic selection to such an extent that they are substantially different from traditional breeds and laying hens.

The information contained in this text will assist researchers in developing ways to increase genetic variability among brassicas, improve crop productivity and quality, and adopt synergistic approaches to ensure food and nutritional security worldwide.

Uniquely, it provides chapters not only by academic experts (in science communication, metaphor analysis, the public understanding of science, the sociology of science and the sociology of expectations), but also by practicing science writers. "Communicating Biological Sciences" presents a novel and rigorous investigation of science writing and science communication that will appeal not only to science writers and scientists, but also to scholars of sociology, science and technology studies, media and journalism.
