Our world is facing unprecedented technological and ethical challenges. Such is the complexity of today's business environment, that sustained long-term success is impossible without a much broader outlook than that fostered by current management school practice. This book draws on centuries of Japanese tradition in honourable behaviour, comparing and contrasting it with developments in the West, to create a new approach powerful enough to meet the challenges of operating in today's global business environment.

This comprehensive textbook presents a self-contained guide to bioinformatics, defined in its broadest sense as the application of information science to biology. Thoroughly updated and greatly expanded, this third edition now includes material on the growing array of "-omics"; covering metagenomics, toxicogenomics, glycomics, lipidomics, microbiomics and phenomics. New chapters have also been added on ecosystems management and the nervous system. Emphasis is placed on providing both a firm grounding in the core concepts and a clear overview of the complete field of bioinformatics. Features: explains the fundamentals of information science relevant to biology; covers both organismal (ontogeny and phylogeny, as well as genome structure) and molecular aspects; examines the most important practical applications of bioinformatics, providing detailed descriptions of both the experimental process and the data analysis; provides a varied selection of problems throughout the book, to stimulate further thinking.

Nanotechnology: An Introduction, Second Edition, is ideal for the newcomer to nanotechnology, someone who also brings a strong background in one of the traditional disciplines, such as physics, mechanical or electrical engineering, or chemistry or biology, or someone who has experience working in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. This book brings together the principles, theory, and practice of nanotechnology, giving a broad, yet authoritative, introduction to the possibilities and limitations of this exciting and rapidly developing field. The book's author, Prof Ramsden, also discusses design, manufacture, and applications and their impact on a wide range of nanotechnology areas.

Overview and aims. This book is intended as a self-contained guide to the entire ?eld of bioinformatics, interpreted as the application of information science to - ology. There is strong underlying belief that information is a profound concept underlying biology, and familiarity with the concepts of information should make it possible to gain many important new insights into biology. In other words, the vision underpinning this book goes beyond the narrow interpretation of bioinf- matics sometimes encountered, which may con?ne itself to speci?c tasks such as the attempted identi?cation of genes in a DNA sequence. Organization and features. The chapters are grouped into three parts, cov- ing the relevant fundamentals of information science, overviewing all of biology, and surveying applications. Thus Part I (fundamentals) carefully explains what - formation is, and discusses attributes such as value and quality, and its multiple signi?cations of accuracy, meaning, and effect. The transmission of information through channels is described. Brief summaries of the necessary elements of set theory, combinatorics, probability, likelihood, clustering, and pattern recognition are given. Conceptssuch as randomness, complexity, systems and networks, needed fortheunderstandingofbiologicalorganization, arealso discussed. PartII(biology) covers both organismal (ontogeny and phylogeny, as well as genome structure) and molecular aspects. Part III (applications) is devoted to the most important prac- cal applications of bioinformatics, notably gene identi?cation, transcriptomics, p- teomics, interactomics (dealing with networks of interactions), and metabolo

Applied Nanotechnology: The Conversion of Research Results to Products, Third Edition, takes an integrated approach to the scientific, commercial and social aspects of nanotechnology, exploring the relationship between nanotechnology and innovation, the changing economics and business models required to commercialize innovations in nanotechnology, and product design challenges that are investigated through case studies. Applications in various sectors, including composite materials, energy and agriculture are included, as is a section on the role of the government in promoting nanotechnology. In addition, the potential future of molecular self-assembly in industrial production is discussed, along with the ethics and social implications of nanotechnology. This new edition begins a concise introduction to nanotechnology, carefully explaining the relationships between science, technology, wealth and innovation. Next, it focuses on actual products and processes, including the big three areas of application, health, IT and energy. Different types of nanobusiness (upstream, downstream, ancillary etc.), are also carefully delineated, and aspects such as design and realization (e.g., actual fabrication) are also covered, amongst other timely topics. This book offers a vision of the role of nanotechnology in confronting the challenges facing humanity, from healthcare to climate change.
