This open access book focuses on the practical application of Adaptive Dynamic Programming (ADP) in chemotherapy drug delivery, taking into account clinical variables and real-time data. ADP's ability to adapt to changing conditions and make optimal decisions in complex and uncertain situations makes it a valuable tool in addressing pressing challenges in healthcare and other fields. As optimiz…
Hubungan mikroba dengan semua bentuk kehidupan dapat berupa kehidupan bebas, simbiosis, atau patogenik. Manusia memiliki sel mikroba 10 kali lebih banyak daripada sel mereka sendiri. Bakteri ditemukan di permukaan kulit, di usus, dan bagian tubuh lainnya. Bakteri penyebab penyakit adalah yang paling mengkhawatirkan. Sebagian besar penyakit menular disebabkan oleh bakteri patogen yang memiliki k…
A provocative analysis of what it means to be human in an era of incomprehensible technological complexity and change.OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
How new biomedical technologies--from prenatal testing to gene-editing techniques--require us to imagine who counts as human and what it means to belong. From next-generation prenatal tests, to virtual children, to the genome-editing tool CRISPR-Cas9, new biotechnologies grant us unprecedented power to predict and shape future people.OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
This title is an analysis of how fMRI researchers actively involve their bodies - with hand movements in particular - in laboratory practice.OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
Biologi sistem prokariotik adalah bidang studi yang berfokus pada pemahaman interaksi dan perilaku kompleks dalam sel prokariotik menggunakan pendekatan tingkat sistem. Sel prokariotik tidak memiliki nukleus dan organel lain yang terikat membran, sehingga strukturnya lebih sederhana dibandingkan sel eukariotik. Namun, mereka menunjukkan jaringan regulasi dan jalur metabolisme yang canggih yang …
Recent advances in disciplines such as biotechnology, nanotechnology, and neuropharmacology entail a "dual-use dilemma" because they promise benefits for human health and welfare yet pose the risk of misuse for hostile purposes. The emerging field of synthetic genomics, for example, can produce custom DNA molecules for life-saving drugs but also makes possible the creation of deadly viral agent…
Since the end of World War II, biology and medicine have merged in remarkably productive ways. In this book Peter Keating and Alberto Cambrosio analyze the transformation of medicine into biomedicine and its consequences, ranging from the recasting of hospital architecture to the redefinition of the human body, disease, and therapeutic practices. To describe this new alignment between the norma…
The transformative potential of genetic and cybernetic technologies to enhance human capabilities is most often either rejected on moral and prudential grounds or hailed as the future salvation of humanity. In this book, Nicholas Agar offers a more nuanced view, making a case for moderate human enhancement -- improvements to attributes and abilities that do not significantly exceed what is curr…
Federal regulations that govern research misconduct in biomedicine have not been able to prevent an ongoing series of high-profile cases of fabricating, falsifying, or plagiarizing scientific research. In this book, Barbara Redman looks critically at current research misconduct policy and proposes a new approach that emphasizes institutional context and improved oversight.OCLC-licensed vendor b…
