Müller Cells in the Healthy and Diseased Retina
by Andreas Reichenbach Andreas BringmannMüller cells may be used in the future for novel therapeutic strategies to protect neurons against apoptosis (for example, somatic gene therapy), or to differentiate retinal neurons from Müller/stem cells. Meanwhile, a proper understanding of the gliotic responses of Müller cells in the diseased retina, and of their protective vs. detrimental effects, is essential for the development of efficient therapeutic strategies that use and stimulate the neuron-supportive/-protective - and prevent the destructive - mechanisms of gliosis.
Multimodal Management of Canine Osteoarthritis (Manson Ser.)
by Steven M. FoxMultimodal Management of Canine Osteoarthritis, Second Edition takes an evidence-based approach to the canine patient with osteoarthritis, pursuing the objective of the best available medicine by a variety of means: multiple drugs, agents, adjuncts and delivery methods. Appreciating that surgical intervention may initially be required, particularly for stabilizing a joint, the major focus in this work is the conservative management of osteoarthritis. A clear and visual approach is taken with the overlapping of two three-pointed triangles of management: medical and non-medical. The completely updated new edition offers a major new chapter on Regenerative Medicine in collaboration with Drs Sherman Canapp and Brittany Jean Carr. It is recommended for any small animal veterinary practitioner, as well as researchers and students of the RCVS CertAVP.
Multiple Sequence Alignments: Which Program Fits My Data?
by Theodor SperleaThis book is a practical guide for biologists who use multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) for their data analysis and are looking for a comprehensive overview of the many different programs. Despite their important role in data analysis, there is uncertainty among researchers about exactly how MSA programs work - not to mention how and why the different analyzes lead to different results. Which program is the right one for evaluating my data and how can I ensure that I have drawn all relevant findings from the alignments? This book offers helpful explanations and background information without requiring extensive bioinformatics knowledge and slowly introduces the reader to the topic.In the first part of the book, the possible fields of application as well as the formats that are usually produced by MSA programs are described in detail. The central algorithms as well as the internal processes of the most common MSA programs of the past and the present are also explained in an uncomplicated manner in greater detail. The second part of the book is a detailed, data-based comparison between MSA programs, which is intended to help you decide which program to use for your next alignment.

Trotz ihres wichtigen Stellenwertes in der Datenanalyse herrscht Unsicherheit unter den Forschenden wie MSA-Programme genau funktionieren - ganz zu schweigen davon, wie und warum die unterschiedlichen Analysen zu verschiedenen Ergebnissen führen. Welches Programm ist für die Auswertung meiner Daten das richtige und wie kann ich sicherstellen, alle relevanten Erkenntnisse aus den Alignments gezogen zu haben? Dieses Buch bietet hilfreiche Erklärungen und Hintergründe ohne große bioinformatische Vorkenntnisse vorauszusetzen und führt die Leserinnen und Leser langsam in die Thematik ein.Im ersten Teil des Buches werden die möglichen Einsatzfelder wie auch die Formate, die üblicherweise von MSA-Programmen produziert werden, im Detail beschrieben. Ebenso werden auf unkomplizierte Weise die zentralen Algorithmen sowie die inneren Abläufe der gängigsten MSA-Programme der Vergangenheit und der Gegenwart in größerer Detailtiefe erklärt. Den zweiten Teil des Buches bildet ein ausführlicher datenbasierter Vergleich zwischen MSA-Programmen, der als Entscheidungshilfe für die Programmauswahl für dein nächstes Alignment dienen soll.
Multisensory Object Perception in the Primate Brain
by Marcus Johannes Naumer Jochen KaiserTraditionally, a large proportion of perceptual research has assumed a specialization of cortical regions for the processing of stimuli in a single sensory modality. Perception in everyday life, however, usually consists of inputs from multiple sensory channels. Recently the question of how the brain integrates multisensory information has become the focus of a growing number of neuroscientific investigations. This work has identified both multisensory integration regions and crossmodal influences in brain areas traditionally thought to be specific to one sensory modality. Furthermore, several factors have been identified that enhance integration such as spatio-temporal stimulus coincidence and semantic congruency. Multisensory Object Perception in the Primate Brain elucidates the mechanisms of multisensory integration of object-related information with a focus on the visual, auditory, and tactile sensory modalities. Evidence is presented in four sections: methodological considerations, audio-visual processing, visuo-tactile processing, and plasticity, and includes studies in both human and nonhuman primates at different levels of analysis. Studies range from intracranial electrophysiological recordings to non-invasive electro- or magnetoencephalography, functional magnetic resonance imaging, behavioral approaches, and computational modeling.

by José Crossa Osval Antonio Montesinos López Abelardo Montesinos LópezThis book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 licenseThis open access book brings together the latest genome base prediction models currently being used by statisticians, breeders and data scientists. It provides an accessible way to understand the theory behind each statistical learning tool, the required pre-processing, the basics of model building, how to train statistical learning methods, the basic R scripts needed to implement each statistical learning tool, and the output of each tool. To do so, for each tool the book provides background theory, some elements of the R statistical software for its implementation, the conceptual underpinnings, and at least two illustrative examples with data from real-world genomic selection experiments. Lastly, worked-out examples help readers check their own comprehension.The book will greatly appeal to readers in plant (and animal) breeding, geneticists and statisticians, as it provides in a very accessible way the necessary theory, the appropriate R code, and illustrative examples for a complete understanding of each statistical learning tool. In addition, it weighs the advantages and disadvantages of each tool.

Mungo
by Rosalie FryThere comes a time when you've got to let them go free or they'll never learn to look after themselves," old Mrs. Moffatt warned Aunt Hilda. And that was the start of Richie's freedom to roam the wild Scottish coast near the hotel where they were living, for until then Aunt Hilda had been afraid to let him go anywhere alone. Soon Richie found a "special place"--a cliff hidden by overhanging heather, from which he could watch an inlet that he liked to think of as a secret bay. One day, as he lay on top of the cliff, Richie saw an alarmingly long creature stretching out into the sea like a reef of rocks--"like a kind of giant lizard with the longest neck in the world," thought Richie--a silly, friendly smile on its face. This was Mungo, last and gentlest of the ancient sea monsters. Soon Richie learned that Mungo liked to eat sea greens and potato crisps; more important, he noticed that a certain "clong" sound from across the water summoned Mungo out to sea, toward the island of Muckle Craig. In one of Rosalie K. Fry's most entertaining stories, Mungo eventually takes Richie on the greatest adventure of his life.

Murder at the Cat Show (The Perkins & Tate Mysteries #2)
by Marian BabsonA “suspenseful” mystery starring two publicists—and a whole lot of cats—from the Agatha Award–winning author of Cover-Up Story (Publishers Weekly). British public relations firm Perkins & Tate are used to dealing with show business—but this time, the celebrities are cats. The company’s been hired to publicize a major event for cat fanciers, but even if the felines in attendance are dignified, elegant, and well trained, the same doesn’t always hold true for the humans . . . After a valuable cat statue disappears—and the exhibit’s much-disliked organizer is found dead in a cage with two Sumatran tigers—Douglas Perkins and Gerry Tate must sniff out a two-legged beast. “The appearance of this second-in-a-series from England will gladden Babson’s numerous aficionados in America. . . . Suspenseful action . . . While many convincingly real cats compete for the reader’s affections, even Doug, expressing indifference to feline charms, falls helplessly in love with a wistful kitten.” —Publishers Weekly “For the marvels of metamorphosis, stick to Kafka. For the joy of cats, consider Ms. Babson.” —The New York Times Book Review on Nine Lives to Murder
