Omgaan met insecten en andere beestjes (Hoe te... #65)
by Owen JonesOmgaan met insecten en andere beestjes Hartelijk dank voor het downloaden van dit e-book ‘Omgaan met insecten en andere beestjes’. Ik hoop dat je het de moeite waard vindt en er wat aan hebt. Het gaat over de verschillende kanten van het omgaan met insecten en halfvleugeligen, in het bijzonder in en rond je huis. Het boek is verdeeld over 16 hoofdstukken van elk 500 tot 600 woorden. Ik hoop dat het ook interessant is voor mensen die een beetje bang zijn voor insecten en voor mensen die de wat traditionelere middelen willen gebruiken om van ze af te komen bij overlast. Als bonus geef ik je toestemming om de inhoud te gebruiken voor bijvoorbeeld je eigen website, blog of tijdschrift. Herschrijf het dan liefst in je eigen woorden. Je mag ook een deel van het boek gebruiken om er je voordeel mee te doen in eigen publicaties. Het enige dat je niet mag, is het in z’n geheel doorverkopen of weggeven in de vorm zoals je het boek zelf hebt verkregen. Voor je feedback kun je terecht bij de wederverkoper waar je dit boek hebt gekocht. Je kunt daar ook andere boeken vinden over dit onderwerp. Nogmaals bedankt voor je aanschaf. Met vriendelijke groet, Owen Jones

Workman, autrice premiata e bestseller di USA Today, accompagna i lettori nel paesino di Bald Eagle Falls per un giallo cozy gastronomico da risolvere insieme alla pasticciera senza glutine Erin Price e ai suoi amici.
Omics Applications for Systems Biology (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology #1102)
by Wan Mohd Aizat Hoe-Han Goh Syarul Nataqain BaharumThis book explains omics at the most basic level, including how this new concept can be properly utilized in molecular and systems biology research. Most reviews and books on this topic have mainly focused on the technicalities and complexity of each omics’ platform, impeding readers to wholly understand its fundamentals and applications. This book tackles such gap and will be most beneficial to novice in this area, university students and even researchers. Basic workflow and practical guidance in each omics are also described, such that scientists can properly design their experimentation effectively. Furthermore, how each omics platform has been conducted in our institute (INBIOSIS) is also detailed, a comprehensive example on this topic to further enhance readers’ understanding. The contributors of each chapter have utilized the platforms in various manner within their own research and beyond. The contributors have also been interactively integrated and combined these different omics approaches in their research, being able to systematically write each chapter with the conscious knowledge of other inter-relating topics of omics. The potential readers and audience of this book can come from undergraduate and postgraduate students who wish to extend their comprehension in the topics of molecular biology and big data analysis using omics platforms. Furthermore, researchers and scientists whom may have expertise in basic molecular biology can extend their experimentation using the omics technologies and workflow outlined in this book, benefiting their research in the long run.
Omics Approaches in Veterinary Parasitology: Diagnosis, Biomarkers, and Drug Development
by Muhammad Sohail Sajid and Hafiz Muhammad RizwanOmics Approaches in Veterinary Parasitology: Diagnosis, Biomarkers, and Drug Development explores applications of omics approaches for diagnosis, biomarker discovery, and drug development against parasites of veterinary importance. It presents the fundamental principles of parasite biology and their complex physiological processes. The chapters review key aspects such as parasite life cycles, host-parasite interactions, and the molecular mechanisms that underlie parasitic diseases. The subsequent chapters delve into the principles and applications of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics in understanding parasites at a molecular level. The use of next-generation sequencing, PCR-based assays, and metagenomics in identifying and characterizing parasites for accurate and efficient diagnosis are also covered in detail. Toward the end, the book focuses on target identification, drug repurposing, and the optimization of drug efficacy while minimizing drug resistance using omics data. The book is useful for researchers, students, and professionals in the field of veterinary parasitology.

On Animals
by Susan OrleanNATIONAL BESTSELLER &“Magnificent.&” —The New York Times * &“Beguiling, observant, and howlingly funny.&” —San Francisco Chronicle * &“Spectacular.&” —Star Tribune (Minneapolis) * &“Full of astonishments.&” —The Boston Globe Susan Orlean—the beloved New Yorker staff writer hailed as &“a national treasure&” by The Washington Post and the author of the New York Times bestseller The Library Book—gathers a lifetime of musings, meditations, and in-depth profiles about animals.&“How we interact with animals has preoccupied philosophers, poets, and naturalists for ages,&” writes Susan Orlean. Since the age of six, when Orlean wrote and illustrated a book called Herbert the Near-Sighted Pigeon, she&’s been drawn to stories about how we live with animals, and how they abide by us. Now, in On Animals, she examines animal-human relationships through the compelling tales she has written over the course of her celebrated career. These stories consider a range of creatures—the household pets we dote on, the animals we raise to end up as meat on our plates, the creatures who could eat us for dinner, the various tamed and untamed animals we share our planet with who are central to human life. In her own backyard, Orlean discovers the delights of keeping chickens. In a different backyard, in New Jersey, she meets a woman who has twenty-three pet tigers—something none of her neighbors knew about until one of the tigers escapes. In Iceland, the world&’s most famous whale resists the efforts to set him free; in Morocco, the world&’s hardest-working donkeys find respite at a special clinic. We meet a show dog and a lost dog and a pigeon who knows exactly how to get home. Equal parts delightful and profound, enriched by Orlean&’s stylish prose and precise research, these stories celebrate the meaningful cross-species connections that grace our collective existence.
