The Complete Guide to the ABC Molecular Biology Certification Exam

In 2009 the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) authored the report Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward. In it the Committee expressed the need for accreditation and certification. Accreditation long recognized by public labs as an important benchmark in quality was recognized as an important way to standardize laboratories that provide forensic services. Certification can play an important role as a method of oversight in the forensic sciences—something also recommended by the - National Commission on Forensic Science in October 2014. The Complete Guide to the ABC's Molecular Biology is a professional certification examination preparation text for forensic scientists taking the American Board of Criminalistics Examination in Molecular Biology. The book serves as a resource for forensic scientists—who are facing more and more pressure to become certified—to support them in their pursuit of forensic certification. In the years since the NAS report was published there has been increased discussion of forensic certification requirements. ABC’s Molecular Biology exam is a quality certification and learning the concepts for it will invariably help any professional working in the field. The book prepares readers in all relevant topic areas including: accreditation safety biological screen principles anatomy and cell biology crime scene and evidence handling concepts in genetics biochemistry statistics DNA evidence and DNA testing. The book will be particularly helpful for forensic science laboratory technicians police and investigations professionals forensic serology and DNA analysts attorneys and forensic science students. This study guide follows the guidelines for the exam and presents all the information necessary to prepare individuals to pass the exam. | The Complete Guide to the ABC Molecular Biology Certification Exam

Stochastic Modelling for Systems Biology Third Edition

Since the first edition of Stochastic Modelling for Systems Biology there have been many interesting developments in the use of likelihood-free methods of Bayesian inference for complex stochastic models. Having been thoroughly updated to reflect this this third edition covers everything necessary for a good appreciation of stochastic kinetic modelling of biological networks in the systems biology context. New methods and applications are included in the book and the use of R for practical illustration of the algorithms has been greatly extended. There is a brand new chapter on spatially extended systems and the statistical inference chapter has also been extended with new methods including approximate Bayesian computation (ABC). Stochastic Modelling for Systems Biology Third Edition is now supplemented by an additional software library written in Scala described in a new appendix to the book. New in the Third EditionNew chapter on spatially extended systems covering the spatial Gillespie algorithm for reaction diffusion master equation models in 1- and 2-d along with fast approximations based on the spatial chemical Langevin equationSignificantly expanded chapter on inference for stochastic kinetic models from data covering ABC including ABC-SMCUpdated R package including code relating to all of the new materialNew R package for parsing SBML models into simulatable stochastic Petri net modelsNew open-source software library written in Scala replicating most of the functionality of the R packages in a fast compiled strongly typed functional languageKeeping with the spirit of earlier editions all of the new theory is presented in a very informal and intuitive manner keeping the text as accessible as possible to the widest possible readership. An effective introduction to the area of stochastic modelling in computational systems biology this new edition adds additional detail and computational methods that will provide a stronger foundation for the development of more advanced courses in stochastic biological modelling.

AI and SWARM Evolutionary Approach to Emergent Intelligence

This book provides theoretical and practical knowledge on AI and swarm intelligence. It provides a methodology for EA (evolutionary algorithm)-based approach for complex adaptive systems with the integration of several meta-heuristics e. g. ACO (Ant Colony Optimization) ABC (Artificial Bee Colony) and PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) etc. These developments contribute towards better problem-solving methodologies in AI. The book also covers emerging uses of swarm intelligence in applications such as complex adaptive systems reaction-diffusion computing and diffusion-limited aggregation etc. Another emphasis is its real-world applications. We give empirical examples from real-world problems and show that the proposed approaches are successful when addressing tasks from such areas as swarm robotics silicon traffics image understanding Vornoi diagrams queuing theory and slime intelligence etc. Each chapter begins with the background of the problem followed by the current state-of-the-art techniques of the field and ends with a detailed discussion. In addition the simulators based on optimizers such as PSO and ABC complex adaptive system simulation are described in detail. These simulators as well as some source codes are available online on the author’s website for the benefit of readers interested in getting some hands-on experience of the subject. The concepts presented in this book aim to promote and facilitate the effective research in swarm intelligence approaches in both theory and practice. This book would also be of value to other readers because it covers interdisciplinary research topics that encompass problem-solving tasks in AI complex adaptive systems and meta-heuristics. | AI and SWARM Evolutionary Approach to Emergent Intelligence

Advanced Number Theory with Applications

Exploring one of the most dynamic areas of mathematics Advanced Number Theory with Applications covers a wide range of algebraic analytic combinatorial cryptographic and geometric aspects of number theory. Written by a recognized leader in algebra and number theory the book includes a page reference for every citing in the bibliography and more than 1 500 entries in the index so that students can easily cross-reference and find the appropriate data. With numerous examples throughout the text begins with coverage of algebraic number theory binary quadratic forms Diophantine approximation arithmetic functions p-adic analysis Dirichlet characters density and primes in arithmetic progression. It then applies these tools to Diophantine equations before developing elliptic curves and modular forms. The text also presents an overview of Fermat’s Last Theorem (FLT) and numerous consequences of the ABC conjecture including Thue–Siegel–Roth theorem Hall’s conjecture the Erdös–Mollin-–Walsh conjecture and the Granville–Langevin Conjecture. In the appendix the author reviews sieve methods such as Eratothesenes’ Selberg’s Linnik’s and Bombieri’s sieves. He also discusses recent results on gaps between primes and the use of sieves in factoring. By focusing on salient techniques in number theory this textbook provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive material for a second course in this field. It prepares students for future study at the graduate level.

The Swahili World

The Swahili World presents the fascinating story of a major world civilization exploring the archaeology history linguistics and anthropology of the Indian Ocean coast of Africa. It covers a 1 500-year sweep of history from the first settlement of the coast to the complex urban tradition found there today. Swahili towns contain monumental palaces tombs and mosques set among more humble houses; they were home to fishers farmers traders and specialists of many kinds. The towns have been Muslim since perhaps the eighth century CE participating in international networks connecting people around the Indian Ocean rim and beyond. Successive colonial regimes have helped shape modern Swahili society which has incorporated such influences into the region’s long-standing cosmopolitan tradition. This is the first volume to explore the Swahili in chronological perspective. Each chapter offers a unique wealth of detail on an aspect of the region’s past written by the leading scholars on the subject. The result is a book that allows both specialist and non-specialist readers to explore the diversity of the Swahili tradition how Swahili society has changed over time as well as how our understandings of the region have shifted since Swahili studies first began. Scholars of the African continent will find the most nuanced and detailed consideration of Swahili culture language and history ever produced. For readers unfamiliar with the region or the people involved the chapters here provide an ideal introduction to a new and wonderful geography at the interface of Africa and the Indian Ocean world and among a people whose culture remains one of Africa’s most distinctive achievements.

Biology and Evolution of the Mollusca Volume 1

Molluscs comprise the second largest phylum of animals (after arthropods) occurring in virtually all habitats. Some are commercially important a few are pests and some carry diseases while many non-marine molluscs are threatened by human impacts which have resulted in more extinctions than all tetrapod vertebrates combined. This book and its companion volume provide the first comprehensive account of the Mollusca in decades. Illustrated with hundreds of colour figures it reviews molluscan biology genomics anatomy physiology fossil history phylogeny and classification. This volume includes general chapters drawn from extensive and diverse literature on the anatomy and physiology of their structure movement reproduction feeding digestion excretion respiration nervous system and sense organs. Other chapters review the natural history (including ecology) of molluscs their interactions with humans and assess research on the group. Key features of both volumes: up to date treatment with an extensive bibliography;thoroughly examines the current understanding of molluscan anatomy physiology and development;reviews fossil history and phylogenetics;overviews ecology and economic values; andsummarises research activity and suggests future directions for investigation.
