Population dynamics constitutes a widespread branch of investigations which finds important applications within the realm of life science. The classical deterministic (macroscopic) approach aims at characterizing the time evolution of families of homologous entities, so to unravel the global mechanisms which drive their dynamics. As opposed to this formulation, a microscopic level of modeling can be invoked which instead focuses on the explicit rules governing the interactions among individuals. A viable tool that enables to bridge the gap between the two approaches is the van Kampen's system size expansion. In this thesis we use this method to show how the finite-size effects accounted by the microscopic level might significantly alter the dynamics of biological phenomena.

The Nobel Prizes in natural sciences have developed to become a unique measure of scientific excellence. Using archival documents, which have been released (50 years secrecy) for scholarly work, the author expertly traces the strengths and weaknesses of the Nobel system as exemplified by individual prizes. Surveys of the more than 100 years that the Prizes have been awarded are also presented. This book discusses the most important prize in the world of science and gives unique historical insights into how the laureate selection process has developed to secure optimal choice.

Het schrijven van wetenschappelijke artikelen moet worden geleerd. Het voornaamste doel van een medisch-wetenschappelijke publicatie is het overbrengen van informatie.De voorschriften en conventies die daarbij gelden, staan beschreven in dit boek. De nadruk ligt op de verslaglegging van oorspronkelijk onderzoek, in het Nederlands of in het Engels. Dit boek is vooral gericht op beginnende auteurs. Het beschrijft het proces van het kiezen van een tijdschrift voor publicatie tot en met de omgang met de pers. De auteurs van dit boek hebben als onderzoeker of redacteur jarenlang schrijvende artsen geholpen bij het begrijpelijk op schrift stellen van hun bevindingen. Het doel van de auteurs is bereikt als dit boek ertoe bijdraagt dat onderzoekers er nog beter dan tevoren in slagen hun bevindingen te publiceren in nationale en internationale tijdschriften voor geneeskunde.

Plant and plant products are affected by a large number of plant pathogens among which fungal pathogens. These diseases play a major role in the current deficit of food supply worldwide. Various control strategies were developed to reduce the negative effects of diseases on food, fiber, and forest crops products. For the past fifty years fungicides have played a major role in the increased productivity of several crops in most parts of the world. Although fungicide treatments are a key component of disease management, the emergence of resistance, their introduction into the environment and their toxic effect on human, animal, non-target microorganisms and beneficial organisms has become an important factor in limiting the durability of fungicide effectiveness and usefulness. This book contains 25 chapters on various aspects of fungicide science from efficacy to resistance, toxicology and development of new fungicides that provides a comprehensive and authoritative account for the role of fungicides in modern agriculture.
