Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You don’t have to be a genius to write a PhD. Of course, it will always involve a lot of hard work and dedication, but the process of writing is a whole lot easier if you understand the basic ground rules. This book is a guide through the dos and don’ts of writing a PhD. It will be your companion from the point when you decide to do a PhD, providing practical guidance to getting started, all the way through the nuts and bolts of the writing and editing process. It will also help you to get - and stay - in the right mental framework and establish good habits from the beginning, putting you in a commanding position later on. Examples are tailored to the biological sciences, offering a unique reference for PhD students in these disciplines. Embarking on a PhD doesn’t need to be daunting, even if it’s your first experience working within academia. Each short section focuses on writing - considered by many to be the most difficult aspect of a PhD - and delves into a practical detail of one aspect, from the title to the supplementary material. Whether you’re a student just starting your studies, an early career researcher or a supervisor struggling to cope, the book provides the insider information you need to get ahead.

Download or read book Genome Stability written by Igor Kovalchuk and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2021-07-17 with total page 762 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genome Stability: From Virus to Human Application, Second Edition, a volume in the Translational Epigenetics series, explores how various species maintain genome stability and genome diversification in response to environmental factors. Here, across thirty-eight chapters, leading researchers provide a deep analysis of genome stability in DNA/RNA viruses, prokaryotes, single cell eukaryotes, lower multicellular eukaryotes, and mammals, examining how epigenetic factors contribute to genome stability and how these species pass memories of encounters to progeny. Topics also include major DNA repair mechanisms, the role of chromatin in genome stability, human diseases associated with genome instability, and genome stability in response to aging. This second edition has been fully revised to address evolving research trends, including CRISPRs/Cas9 genome editing; conventional versus transgenic genome instability; breeding and genetic diseases associated with abnormal DNA repair; RNA and extrachromosomal DNA; cloning, stem cells, and embryo development; programmed genome instability; and conserved and divergent features of repair. This volume is an essential resource for geneticists, epigeneticists, and molecular biologists who are looking to gain a deeper understanding of this rapidly expanding field, and can also be of great use to advanced students who are looking to gain additional expertise in genome stability. - A deep analysis of genome stability research from various kingdoms, including epigenetics and transgenerational effects - Provides comprehensive coverage of mechanisms utilized by different organisms to maintain genomic stability - Contains applications of genome instability research and outcomes for human disease - Features all-new chapters on evolving areas of genome stability research, including CRISPRs/Cas9 genome editing, RNA and extrachromosomal DNA, programmed genome instability, and conserved and divergent features of repair

Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of Biology and Society written by Maurizio Meloni and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 926 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive handbook synthesizes the often-fractured relationship between the study of biology and the study of society. Bringing together a compelling array of interdisciplinary contributions, the authors demonstrate how nuanced attention to both the biological and social sciences opens up novel perspectives upon some of the most significant sociological, anthropological, philosophical and biological questions of our era. The six sections cover topics ranging from genomics and epigenetics, to neuroscience and psychology to social epidemiology and medicine. The authors collaboratively present state-of-the-art research and perspectives in some of the most intriguing areas of what can be called biosocial and biocultural approaches, demonstrating how quickly we are moving beyond the acrimonious debates that characterized the border between biology and society for most of the twentieth century. This landmark volume will be an extremely valuable resource for scholars and practitioners in all areas of the social and biological sciences.

Download or read book Biological Essentialism written by Michael Devitt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-03-02 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological Essentialism addresses three main issues. The first concerns the essences (natures, identities) of biological taxa, particularly species. Kripke and other metaphysicians hold that these essences are (at least partly) intrinsic, underlying, probably largely genetic properties. This view, based largely on intuitions, is dismissed by the consensus in the philosophy of biology as being incompatible with Darwinism and reflecting ignorance of biology. Biological Essentalism argues that the demands of biological explanation show that the metaphysicians are right. The positive view of the consensus is that the essences are wholly relational: taxa must have certain histories. Biological Essentialism argues that there is indeed an historical component to the essence, but this component presupposes an intrinsic component. Its second issue concerns the essences of biological individuals. Metaphysicians have had much to say about this, again on the basis of intuitions. Many hold that an individual is essentially a member of its species. This has recently been unequivocally rejected by philosophers of biology. Biological Essentialism appeals to biological explanation again to argue for essential membership; furthermore, to argue for the Kripkean view that an organism's essence is partly intrinsic and partly relational (a matter of origin). Finally, the book addresses the lively contemporary issue of whether race is biologically "real". From the perspective developed earlier, the book argues that there are indeed racial kinds, in some sense, that are "in the realm of the biological". These kinds also have partly historical and partly intrinsic underlying essences.

Download or read book The Sarahu new 07 Wonders of the World written by Sarahu Nagarazan and published by Novel Nuggets Publishers. This book was released on 2023-09-10 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lord Sarahu Nagarazan 1st June 1988 was born as a human incarnation to the earth. And he has come for the welfare of world. What he has suffered in this human incarnation is as follows. Beginning with the vicissitude of his Love. He did continuously 8 years DhyÃna or hypnotism for his first lover Uma. In these 8 years, last 4 year's Suma came into his life and infringed in DhyÃna or hypnotism. Then he continued DhyÃna or hypnotism for Uma. After 8 years instead of getting the power of hypnotism, he received the grace of illumination on god and world. After his matriculation he knocked the door of Kannada film industry. There he cheated by film writers, directors and technicians. Then at the age of 18 and 20 he worked in 3 movies (sandalwood, Kannada) as writer and assistant director. And also worked in some documentary projects. At the age of 18 to 33 he written and published 151 novels, 5 short stories, 1 drama, and 30 English Articles. And at the age of 26 to 30 he research and published 92 research articles and he received 260 research awards and honorary doctorate awards and at the age of he achieved 1926 new world records and breaking world records. He have a deep imagination power at the time he was studying 5th standard. The proof for this is the only novels he have written when he was in the 8th, 9th and 10th standard. But, here, there is no provision to explain the summary of said novels. The scope of my imagination can understand the only those people who have studied his novels, because that novels contains the series of imaginations and subjects that the Hollywood films can also take inspiration from this work. He can write story, screenplay, dialogues and scene paper within 4 hours. However you demand he can write in that style in Hollywood. Example: if you give a subject likes 'stone' or 'stick' or any other think or you just show anything around us by pointing finger, he can write on the topic story, screenplay, dialogues and scene paper within 4 hours in a day only by pen or he tell it orally as your wish. He can write as you say within 4 hours in a day. And he can direct Hollywood movies without a script, it's my confidence. If you provide an opportunity to write a Hollywood story with any theme he can write it in front of you spontaneously without giving time for thinking. Lonely without anybody's help. He can write that Hollywood script within fraction of second's right from foundation to climax.

Download or read book Merge and the Strong Minimalist Thesis written by Noam Chomsky and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this contribution to the Elements series is to closely examine Merge, its form, its function, and its central role in current linguistic theory. It explores what it does (and does not do), why it has the form it has, and its development over time. The basic idea behind Merge is quite simple. However, Merge interacts, in intricate ways, with other components including the language's interfaces, laws of nature, and certain language-specific conditions. Because of this, and because of its fundamental place in the human faculty of language, this Element's focus on Merge provides insights into the goals and development of generative grammar more generally, and its prospects for the future.

Download or read book Network based Mathematical Modeling in Cell and Developmental Biology written by Susan Mertins and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-08-22 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast amount of knowledge in Cell Signaling gathered through reductionist efforts and omics technology is poised to approach a Systems Biology understanding of precise representations of cell structure and function and predictions at multi-scale levels despite the complexity. Super-resolution microscopy and single cell analysis are also providing opportunities to explore both spatial and temporal landscapes. Notably, many basic biological processes have been studied capturing mechanistic detail with the goal to understand cellular proliferation and differentiation, gene regulation, morphogenesis, metabolism, and cell-cell communication. Similarly, at the intracellular level, addressing functions such as self-assembly, phase separation, and transport is leading to insights not readily understood as linear pathways. Therefore, network-based mathematical modeling, delineating dynamic biochemical reactions through ordinary and partial differential equations, promises to discover emergent biological properties not heretofore expected.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Early Modern Thesis Prints in the Southern Netherlands, Gwendoline de Mûelenaere offers an account of the practice of producing illustrated thesis prints in the seventeenth-century Southern Low Countries. She argues that the evolution of the thesis print genre gave rise to the creation of a specific visual language combining efficiently various figurative registers of a historical and symbolic nature. The book offers a reflection on the representation of knowledge and its public recognition in the context of academic defenses. Early Modern Thesis Prints makes a timely contribution to our understanding of early modern print culture and more specifically to the expanding field of study concerned with the role of visual materials in early modern thought"--
