This book, written by an international team of experts, introduces the reader to various aspects of complexity theory and its applications. It illustrates the latest trends in science to go beyond the mechanistic Newtonian view of the world by shifting the focus to self-organization, adaptation, and emergent phenomena. The authors discuss these properties of complex systems in biology, ecology and chemistry along with the structure and interconnectedness of the "layers" of complexity. The qualitative description is complemented by a discussion of methods for complexity quantification. Networks are covered in detail as a universal language of the complex world. General readers, as well as undergraduate and graduate students and researchers in life sciences, chemistry, and nanotechnology will find this book to be of great interest.

This book provides the first and only comprehensive description and detailed summary of the genetics, structure, function, mechanisms of action, evolution and engineering of homing endonucleases and inteins. These two unique protein superfamilies, which are tied together through their frequent fusion and coevolution, have generated considerable excitement for their fundamental, structural, and functional properties, their evolution as parasitic elements, and their widespread applications as gene targeting agents and as instruments for the generation of modified proteins and novel protein combinations.

Biophotonics - Optical Science and Engineering for the 21st Century - Roeland Van Wijk, PhD. and Prof. Dr. Xun Shen Biophotonics, the science of generating and harnessing light photons to image, detect and manipulate biological materials, offers great hope for the early detection of diseases and for new modalities of light-guided and light-activated therapies. It offers a powerful tool for studying molecular events, such as gene expression, protein-protein interaction, spatial and temporal distribution of the molecules of biological interest, and many chemico-physical processes in living cells and living organisms. Biophotonics - Optical Science and Engineering for the 21st Century introduces the basic experimental and theoretical framework, the technical problems, and the wide field of applications in biotechnology, biomedical engineering, engineering, medicine, pharmacology, environmental science, life sciences, and clinical sciences. Biophotonics: Optical Science and Engineering in the 21st Century serves as an ideal aid to the research and development of these areas integrating light, photonics, and biological systems. Key topics include: Fluctuation Correlation Spectroscopy in Cells: Determination of Molecular Aggregation Using GFP and FRET Technologies for Studying Signaling Mechanisms of Apoptosis in a Single Living Cell Study on Protein-Protein Interaction in Single Living Cells Functional Optical Coherence Tomography: Simultaneous In Vivo Imaging of Tissue Structure and Physiology Imaging -Photo- and Sonodynamic Diagnosis of Cancer Mediated by Chemiluminescence Probes Biophotonic Analysis of Spontaneous Self-Organizing Oxidative Processes in Aqueous Systems Biophoton Emission and Defense Systems in Plants Biophotonics - Optical Science and Engineering for the 21st Century stands as a valuable resource for advanced undergraduate, graduate students and researchers in biomedical engineering, biotechnology, engineering, chemistry, physics, life sciences, and clinical sciences.
