The title of this book, Practical Flow Cytometry, may be somewhat misleading; a significant portion of the information presented is not essential to most investigators who utilize flow cytometry. The author's broad expertise in electronics, optics, histochemistry, and biology provides an excellent basis for discussion of the principles of flow cytometry and cell sorting; however, successful app...

With high-throughput sequencing, transcriptomics, and proteomics no longer in their “infancy” as described in the preface by author T.A. Brown, Genomes 4 offers an expansive review on a broad spectrum of topics in genetics ranging from the central dogma of genes coding for proteins, to the fine technical details of genome mapping. This edition retains the four-part organization from the previou...

Matrix We take a detour to introduce abstract matrices. We want to acquire a good understanding of such matrices, since they not only represent matroids, but 74 Chapter 3. From Graphs to Matroids also display a lot of structural information about matroids that other ways do not. An abstract matrix B is a {0, 1} matrix with row and column indices plus a function called abstract determinant and d...

BACKGROUND: Structural deficiencies within the prefrontal cortex might be related to drug-taking behavior that prevails in smokers. Cortical thickness has been found to be a structural modulator of cerebral function and cognition and a subtle correlate of mental disorders. However, to date an analysis of cortical thickness in smokers compared with never-smokers has not been undertaken. METHODS:...

VerbaLex includes information about verb case and adverbial links (morphosyntactic properties) and senses captured by an inventory of two-layer semantic roles that ...

NON-ARISTOTELIAN LOGICS One of the deep-seated cravings of the human mind seems to be a desire for something permanent, for something eternally the same, changeless and absolute. Of such an object of reverence it can then be exclaimed, "Oh Thou Who Changest Not !" This worship of the changeless is by no means confined to religion, for, in the field of philosophy, as is known, no less a person t...
