»… vi förstod båda att vi inte skulle vara i hamn förrän vi hade byggt en fullständig modell där samtliga stereokemiska bindningar var tillfredsställande. Dessutom kunde vetskapen om dess existens få så dramatiska följder att vi borde ligga lågt ett tag. Jag kände därför visst obehag när Francis på lunchen gled in på The Eagle för att låta alla inom höravstånd få veta att vi hade funnit livets hemlighet.«
När en ung James Watson träffar Francis Crick vid universitetet i Cambridge hösten 1951 är genombrottet som ska komma att revolutionera förståelsen av allt biologiskt liv bara ett par år bort – upptäckten av DNA-molekylens genetiska funktion och spiralformade struktur.
Dubbelspiralen är en av 1900-talets stora vetenskapliga berättelser. Med sin personliga banbrytande stil skildrar James Watson det forskningsarbete, de rivaliteter och vänskaper, som skulle leda fram till upptäckten av livets kod.

MAX-lab i förklarat ljus : från Ur-MAX till MAX IV
227 kr
Skickas
Den 21 juni 2016 invigdes MAX IV-laboratoriet. Det är den hittills största enskilda satsning som gjorts i Sverige inom naturvetenskaplig och teknisk forskning. MAX IV-laboratoriet är ett nationellt forskningslaboratorium med över 1000 gästande forskare per år som användare av det synkrotronljus som laboratoriet levererar. Ljuset har unika kvaliteter internationellt. Denna bok är en dokumentation som skildrar MAX-laboratoriets utveckling från de första planerna på tidigt 1970-tal fram till dagens MAX IV.
Dokumentationen har betydelse forskningspolitiskt, eftersom nyckelpersonerna i projektet redogör för hur laboratoriet kommit till och vuxit upp. Berättelsen är spännande, intressant och lärorik. Boken vill också beskriva den starkt multidisciplinära forskningen vid laboratoriet inom snart sagt samtliga naturvetenskapliga ämnesområden - och inom medicin, humaniora och teknik. Den i Lund utvecklade acceleratortekniken har blivit världsledande. Boken vill också spegla den speciella MAX-andan, en blandning mellan tillit, djärvhet och kreativitet som gjort utvecklingen möjlig.
Utgiven i samarbete med MAX IV-laboratoriet och Lunds universitet.

The inside story of how Big Pharma’s relentless pursuit of ever-higher profits corrupts medical knowledge—misleading doctors, misdirecting American health care, and harming our health.
The United States spends an excess $1.5 trillion annually on health care compared to other wealthy countries—yet the amount of time that Americans live in good health ranks a lowly 68th in the world. At the heart of the problem is Big Pharma, which funds most clinical trials and therefore controls the research agenda, withholds the real data from those trials as corporate secrets, and shapes most of the information relied upon by health care professionals.
In this no-holds-barred exposé, Dr. John Abramson—one of the foremost experts on the drug industry’s deceptive tactics—combines patient stories with what he learned during many years of serving as an expert in national drug litigation to reveal the tangled web of financial interests at the heart of the dysfunction in our health-care system. For example, one of pharma’s best-kept secrets is that the peer reviewers charged with ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the clinical trial reports published in medical journals do not even have access to complete data and must rely on manufacturer-influenced summaries. Likewise for the experts who write the clinical practice guidelines that define our standards of care.
The result of years of research and privileged access to the inner workings of the U.S. medical-industrial complex, Sickening shines a light on the dark underbelly of American health care—and presents a path toward genuine reform.

Environmental Data Analysis with MatLab is a new edition that expands fundamentally on the original with an expanded tutorial approach, new crib sheets, and problem sets providing a clear learning path for students and researchers working to analyze real data sets in the environmental sciences. Since publication of the bestselling Environmental Data Analysis with MATLAB�, many advances have been made in environmental data analysis. One only has to consider the global warming debate to realize how critically important it is to be able to derive clear conclusions from often noisy data drawn from a broad range of sources. The work teaches the basics of the underlying theory of data analysis and then reinforces that knowledge with carefully chosen, realistic scenarios.
MATLAB�, a commercial data processing environment, is used in these scenarios. Significant content is devoted to teaching how it can be effectively used in an environmental data analysis setting. This new edition, though written in a self-contained way, is supplemented with data and MATLAB� scripts that can be used as a data analysis tutorial.
New features include boxed crib sheets to help identify major results and important formulas and give brief advice on how and when they should be used. Numerical derivatives and integrals are derived and illustrated. Includes log-log plots with further examples of their use. Discusses new datasets on precipitation and stream flow. Topical enhancement applies the chi-squared test to the results of the generalized least squares method. New coverage of cluster analysis and approximation techniques that are widely applied in data analysis, including Taylor Series and low-order polynomial approximations; non-linear least-squares with Newton's method; and pre-calculation and updating techniques applicable to real time data acquisition.
Provides a clear learning path for researchers and students using data analysis techniques which build upon one another, choosing the right order of presentation to substantially aid the reader in learning material Includes crib sheets to summarize the most important data analysis techniques, results, procedures, and formulas, serving to organize the material in such a way that its sequence is more apparent Uses real-world environmental examples and case studies formulated using the readily-available software environment in MATLAB� Includes log-log plots with further examples of their use24 665 kr

Arithmetic disability stems from deficits in neurodevelopment, with great individual differences in development or function of an individual at neuroanatomical, neuropsychological, behavioral, and interactional levels. Heterogeneous Contributions to Numerical Cognition: Learning and Education in Mathematical Cognition examines research in mathematical education methods and their neurodevelopmental basis, focusing on the underlying neurodevelopmental features that must be taken into account when teaching and learning mathematics. Cognitive domains and functions such as executive functions, memory, attention, and language contribute to numerical cognition and are essential for its proper development. These lines of research and thinking in neuroscience are discussed in this book to further the understanding of the neurodevelopmental and cognitive basis of more complex forms of mathematics - and how to best teach them. By unravelling the basic building blocks of numerical thinking and the developmental basis of human capacity for arithmetic, this book and the discussions within are important for the achievement of a comprehensive understanding of numerical cognition, its brain basis, development, breakdown in brain-injured individuals, and failures to master mathematical skills.
A novel innovative reference on the emerging field of numerical cognition and neurodevelopment underlying mathematical education Includes an overview of the multiple disciplines that comprise numerical cognition written by world-leading researchers in the numerical cognition and neurodevelopment fields Features an innovative organization with each section providing a general overview, developmental research, neurocognitive mechanisms, and discussion about relevant studies1 728 kr
