Imaging Genetics presents the latest research in imaging genetics methodology for discovering new associations between imaging and genetic variables, providing an overview of the state-of the-art in the field. Edited and written by leading researchers, this book is a beneficial reference for students and researchers, both new and experienced, in this growing area. The field of imaging genetics studies the relationships between DNA variation and measurements derived from anatomical or functional imaging data, often in the context of a disorder. While traditional genetic analyses rely on classical phenotypes like clinical symptoms, imaging genetics can offer richer insights into underlying, complex biological mechanisms.

Contains an introduction describing how the field has evolved to the present, together with perspectives on its future direction and challenges Describes novel application domains and analytic methods that represent the state-of-the-art in the burgeoning field of imaging genetics Introduces a novel, large-scale analytic framework that involves multi-site, image-wide, genome-wide associations

Biohydrometallurgy of Rare Earth Ores offers an in-depth exploration of innovative bioleaching techniques for the extraction of rare earth elements that is critical for various high-tech applications. The book begins with foundational concepts in bioleaching, explaining how microorganisms and their metabolites can facilitate the extraction of REEs from ores. Further sections examine different biological approaches, including the use of native and genetically improved microorganisms, and highlight the role of coordination chemistry in enhancing leaching processes. The text also delves into comparative analyses of chemical versus bioleaching methods, emphasizing the advantages of biological techniques in terms of efficiency and environmental sustainability.Additionally, the book addresses the environmental impacts of bioleaching practices, providing a holistic view of the sustainability of these methods while also detailing the recovery processes of REEs from bioleaching solutions and exploring various methods such as inorganic and organic precipitation, biosorption, and the utilization of waste-derived metabolites. It will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and industry professionals interested in the sustainable extraction of rare earth elements.Presents advanced biomining and biohydrometallurgy techniques that utilize microorganisms and their metabolites for the clean extraction of rare earth elementsOffers eco-friendly alternatives to conventional chemical leaching methodsExamines the challenges associated with extracting rare earth elements from low-grade oresProvides insights into efficient and sustainable practices that can mitigate environmental risks while maximizing resource recoveryCompiles and analyzes extensive research findings and practical applications related to ion-adsorption type rare earth ores
