Biology and Management of the World Tarpon and Bonefish Fisheries
by Jerald S. AultThe core of a multibillion dollar sport fishing industry, tarpon and bonefish, two of the earth's oldest creatures, are experiencing obvious and precipitous population decline. Experienced anglers in the Florida Keys suggest a drop of approximately 90-95 percent for the bonefish population over the last 65 years. Despite the economic value of the i
Biology and Mathematics: History and Challenges
by Roger BuisTo formalize the dynamics of living things is to search for invariants in a system that contains an irreducible aspect of “fuzziness”, because biological processes are characterized by their large statistical variability, and strong dependence on temporal and environmental factors. What is essential is the identification of what remains stable in a “living being” that is highly fluctuating. The use of mathematics is not limited to the use of calculating tools to simulate and predict results. It also allows us to adopt a way of thinking that is founded on concepts and hypotheses, leading to their discussion and validation. Instruments of mathematical intelligibility and coherence have gradually “fashioned” the view we now have of biological systems. Teaching and research, fundamental or applied, are now dependent on this new order known as Integrative Biology or Systems Biology.
Biology and Pathology of Perineuronal Satellite Cells in Sensory Ganglia (Advances In Anatomy, Embryology And Cell Biology Ser. #226)
by Ennio PanneseThis volume provides a comprehensive and updated review of perineuronal satellite cells in sensory ganglia. For a long time since their discovery by Valentin in the first half of the 19th century these cells received only modest attention. However, some years ago research findings suggested that satellite cells play a role in the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain. As a result, satellite cells are now considered as possible targets for neuropathic pain treatment. Thus, interest in satellite cells has burgeoned. The review is based on the author’s own work as well as on his critical evaluation and systematic arrangement of data scattered through a large number of research papers. The following aspects of perineuronal satellite cells are covered: Shape and structure; molecular characteristics; origin and development; biological and functional properties; relationships with the ganglion sensory neuron; age-related changes; roles under physiological conditions; reactions to experimental and pathological conditions; role in neuropathic pain.
Biology and Pathology of the Oocyte
by Roger Gosden Alan Trounson Roger Gosden Ursula Eichenlaub-Ritter Alan TrounsonThe human oocyte, or egg, is the rarest and most rapidly aging cell in the body, and is essential for fertility.

Biology and Political Science (Routledge Studies in Science, Technology and Society #No.4)
by Robert Blank Samuel M. Hines Jnr.This book demonstrates the increasing interest of some social scientists in the theories, research and findings of life sciences in building a more interdisciplinary approach to the study of politics. It discusses the development of biopolitics as an academic perspective within political science, reviews the growing literature in the field and presents a coherent view of biopolitics as a framework for structuring inquiry across the current subfields of political science.
Biology and Subjectivity: Philosophical Contributions to Non-reductive Neuroscience (Historical-Analytical Studies on Nature, Mind and Action #2)
by Miguel García-Valdecasas José Ignacio Murillo Nathaniel F. BarrettSome may consider that the language and concepts of philosophy will eventually be superseded by those of neuroscience. This book questions such a naïve assumption and through a variety of perspectives and traditions, the authors show the possible contributions of philosophy to non-reductive forms of neuroscientific research. Drawing from the full range and depth of philosophical thought, from hylomorphism to ethics, by way of dynamical systems, enactivism and value theory, amongst other topics, this edited work promotes a rich form of interdisciplinary exchange. Chapters explore the analytic, phenomenological and pragmatic traditions of philosophy, and most share a common basis in the Aristotelian tradition. Contributions address one or more aspects of subjectivity in relation to science, such as the meaning and scope of naturalism and the place of consciousness in nature, or the relation between intentionality, teleology, and causality. Readers may further explore the nature of life and its relation to mind and then the role of value in mind and nature. This book shows how philosophy might contribute to real explanatory progress in science while remaining faithful to the full complexity of the phenomena of life and mind. It will be of interest to both philosophers and neuroscientists, as well as those engaged in interdisciplinary cooperation between philosophy and science.
Biology and Sustainable Development Goals: Applications of Mathematical Methods (Mathematics for Sustainable Developments)
by A. A. Elsadany Waleed Adel Yassine SabbarThis edited book provides a comprehensive framework for the integration of mathematical methodologies into biological research, emphasizing applications that directly address topics related to SDG 3 (Good Health and Well Being) and SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation). From the mathematical modeling of infectious diseases to the design of smart agricultural systems, each chapter presents key global issues where mathematical analysis is a powerful tool for driving progress. This work emphasizes the importance of mathematical models in predicting outcomes, optimizing interventions and understanding the dynamics of complex biological systems. The central theme of the book is the application of mathematical methods, ranging from deterministic models, stochastic processes, fractional calculus and machine learning algorithms to biological problems, framed in the context of sustainability. Each chapter is crafted to showcase how mathematical models not only enhance our understanding of biological phenomena but also play a pivotal role in developing solutions to global issues such as pandemics, environmental degradation and resource management.
Biology and Treatment of Leukemia and Bone Marrow Neoplasms (Cancer Treatment and Research #181)
by Vinod Pullarkat Guido MarcucciThis book provides a concise update on current understanding of the biology of acute and chronic leukemias and other bone marrow neoplasms, including myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative disorders, and explores new and emerging treatments. There is a particular focus on the molecular abnormalities that are drivers of leukemia and on their detection by modern molecular techniques. Knowledge of the ways in which genomic and metabolic abnormalities in the hematologic neoplasms affect prognosis and treatment decision making is reviewed. Detailed attention is devoted to targeted therapies, including novel drugs, and to potential targets for future drug development. In addition, readers find in-depth discussion of cellular and antibody-based immunotherapies as well as the role of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the treatment of leukemias and bone marrow malignancies. The book is of special interest for hematologists, oncologists, and cancer researchers; it is also of value for hematology trainees and medical students.
