Book Description
Editor Biography:Dr. Rajeshwar P. Sinha is a Professor of Molecular Biology at the Centre of Advanced Study in Botany, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India. He received his Ph. D. in Biotechnology form Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India. He is a fellow of the Society for Applied Biotechnology, India and recipient of the prestigious DAAD (Germany) fellowship. He has visited several countries such as Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Germany, Greece, France, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Republic of Korea, Spain, Switzerland, The Netherlands and United Kingdom, in the field of academics and research on one or the other scientific assignments. He has over 23 years of research and teaching experience. He has been working on effects of UV radiation on aquatic ecosystems and has concentrated on the effects on DNA damage and repair, phycobilliproteins, mycosporine-like amino acids and scytonemin induction in cyanobacteria and algae. He is a life member of various national and international scientific societies and an editorial board member of several national and international scientific journals. He has published over 200 original research papers, reviews and book chapters and edited three books. He is having an h-index of 41 with over 6300 citations in reputed scientific journals including Nature and Science.Book Description:Biological science primarily deals with the morphology, physiology and biochemistry of living organisms, including their distribution, taxonomy, evolution, structure, growth, function and metabolism. All living organisms undergo metabolism, maintain homeostasis, have the capacity to grow, respond to stimuli, communicate through various means, reproduce and adapt to their environment through natural selection. The organisms that photosynthesize are the primary producers and represent life support systems from aesthetics to food to medicine. The book deals with the topics pertaining to biotechnology, molecular biology, ecology, plant pathology, bionanotechnology and stress biology. Technology-assisted research had led to the evolution of new disciplines of biological sciences with narrow specialization.The requirement of food, medicines, natural products, the quest to resolve and develop a better understanding of life and other biological processes need to conserve genes, plants and ecosystems; the apprehension of land, water and the environment have led to the strengthening of traditional disciplines as well as the emergence of diverse disciplines such as stress biology, molecular biology, biotechnology and bioinformatics.The chapters in this book impart the recent developments and the state-of-the art knowledge in biological sciences. In addition, this book provides newer techniques and uses for these tools in achieving the potential of biotechnology to understand some of the basic problems in biological sciences.Target Audience:This book is highly useful and must read for students, researchers and professionals in botany, biotechnology, environmental sciences, agriculture, molecular biology and other streams of biological sciences.

How to Write a PhD in Biological Sciences
Author: John Measey
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000468461
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
You don’t have to be a genius to write a PhD. Of course, it will always involve a lot of hard work and dedication, but the process of writing is a whole lot easier if you understand the basic ground rules. This book is a guide through the dos and don’ts of writing a PhD. It will be your companion from the point when you decide to do a PhD, providing practical guidance to getting started, all the way through the nuts and bolts of the writing and editing process. It will also help you to get - and stay - in the right mental framework and establish good habits from the beginning, putting you in a commanding position later on. Examples are tailored to the biological sciences, offering a unique reference for PhD students in these disciplines. Embarking on a PhD doesn’t need to be daunting, even if it’s your first experience working within academia. Each short section focuses on writing - considered by many to be the most difficult aspect of a PhD - and delves into a practical detail of one aspect, from the title to the supplementary material. Whether you’re a student just starting your studies, an early career researcher or a supervisor struggling to cope, the book provides the insider information you need to get ahead.

Experimental Design for Biologists
Author: David J. Glass
Publisher: CSHL Press
ISBN: 0879697350
Category : Biology
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
The effective design of scientific experiments is critical to success, yet graduate students receive very little formal training in how to do it. Based on a well-received course taught by the author, Experimental Design for Biologistsfills this gap. Experimental Design for Biologistsexplains how to establish the framework for an experimental project, how to set up a system, design experiments within that system, and how to determine and use the correct set of controls. Separate chapters are devoted to negative controls, positive controls, and other categories of controls that are perhaps less recognized, such as “assumption controls†and “experimentalist controls†. Furthermore, there are sections on establishing the experimental system, which include performing critical “system controls†. Should all experimental plans be hypothesis-driven? Is a question/answer approach more appropriate? What was the hypothesis behind the Human Genome Project? What color is the sky? How does one get to Carnegie Hall? The answers to these kinds of questions can be found in Experimental Design for Biologists. Written in an engaging manner, the book provides compelling lessons in framing an experimental question, establishing a validated system to answer the question, and deriving verifiable models from experimental data. Experimental Design for Biologistsis an essential source of theory and practical guidance in designing a research plan.

Why Study Biology by the Sea?
Author: Karl S. Matlin
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022667293X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
For almost a century and a half, biologists have gone to the seashore to study life. The oceans contain rich biodiversity, and organisms at the intersection of sea and shore provide a plentiful sampling for research into a variety of questions at the laboratory bench: How does life develop and how does it function? How are organisms that look different related, and what role does the environment play? From the Stazione Zoologica in Naples to the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, the Amoy Station in China, or the Misaki Station in Japan, students and researchers at seaside research stations have long visited the ocean to investigate life at all stages of development and to convene discussions of biological discoveries. Exploring the history and current reasons for study by the sea, this book examines key people, institutions, research projects, organisms selected for study, and competing theories and interpretations of discoveries, and it considers different ways of understanding research, such as through research repertoires. A celebration of coastal marine research, Why Study Biology by the Sea? reveals why scientists have moved from the beach to the lab bench and back.
