Marine Carotenoids
Carotenoids represent a large group of isoprenoid structures with many different structural characteristics and biological activities. They are the most important of the naturally occurring pigments and are responsible for the various colors of different fruits, vegetables, and plant parts. Marine carotenoids and their unique structures are responsible for the color of many fish, shellfish, and algae. However, while there have been many papers and reviews on carotenoids of terrestrial origin, there has been relatively little research conducted on the impact of marine carotenoids on human health. Recent research efforts have revealed that marine carotenoids have strong biological activity affecting human health and are candidates for nutraceuticals. This Topical Collection of Marine Drugs is dedicated to marine carotenoids, and will focus on the benefits of carotenoids for human beings. For a better understanding of the physiological effects of marine carotenoids, this collection should include the most recent developments in the presence, analysis, chemistry, and biochemistry of marine carotenoids.
Ist Genmanipulation am Menschen moralisch vertretbar?
Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Biologie - Sonstige Themen, Note: 1,8, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Universit瓣t Hannover, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Bachelorthesis besch瓣ftigt sich mit der CRISPR-Technologie, die in der Alltagssprache unter dem Begriff der Gen-Schere bekannt wurde. Die Effizienz dieser neuen Technologie erm繹glicht pr瓣zise genetische Eingriffe in Lebewesen. Insbesondere steht hier die Anwendung am menschlichen Genom im Vordergrund. Diskutiert wird, inwiefern deontologische Argumente (Kant/Habermas) und utilitaristische Argumente (Singer/Savulescu) unter Einbezug der Technikfolgenabsch瓣tzung einen Eingriff ins humane Genom aus ethischer Sicht erlauben oder verbieten. Ausgangspunkt der Thesis ist die Bekanntgabe des Forschers Jiankui He, dass in China im Jahr 2018 genmodifizierte Zwillinge zur Welt kamen, die mittels der CRISPS-Technologie gegen das HI-Virus immun gemacht wurden. In den letzten Jahren ist der Begriff CRISPR/cas9 sowohl in den geisteswissenschaftlichen, als auch in den 繹ffentlichen Diskurs eingedrungen. Aber was genau beschreibt dieser Begriff eigentlich? Um diese Frage zu beantworten, empfiehlt es sich, einen Blick auf den haupts瓣chlich damit in Verbindung gebrachten Anwendungsbereich der CRISPR-Technologie zu werfen: Das genome editing, oder zu Deutsch die Genomeditierung. Hierunter ist die zielgerichtete Manipulation des Erbguts bei Lebewesen zu verstehen, die in lebenden Zellen vorgenommen wird und somit eine Modifikation der DNA bewusst durch menschliches Eingreifen erm繹glicht.
Drachenzucht F羹r Einsteiger
Kann man einen Drachen z羹chten? Kann er dann Feuer spucken und fliegen? K繹nnen wir ihm eine eindrucksvolle Gr繹?e verleihen? Wie schlau sollen wir unseren Drachen machen, und k繹nnen wir ihn trainieren? Wie wahrscheinlich ist es, dass wir bei unserem Versuch, einen Drachen zu bauen, umkommen? Und geht das auch mit Einh繹rnern?Die Welt begeistert sich seit Jahrhunderten f羹r Drachen und sie haben noch immer einen festen Platz in der Popkultur wie Smaug in "Der kleine Hobbit" und die Drachen in "Game of Thrones". Die Leute lieben Drachen und sind neugierig zu erfahren, ob man tats瓣chlich einen Drachen erschaffen kann. In diesem ungew繹hnlichen Buch geht es darum, wie wir mit den allerneuesten wissenschaftlichen Techniken theoretisch einen Drachen erschaffen k繹nnten. Dabei behandeln wir modernste wissenschaftliche Themen wie CRISPR, Biohacking, Stammzellenforschung und Bioengineering. Das Buch steckt voller Fakten, doch der Humor kommt nicht zu kurz, und es regt Leser*innen 羹berdies an, sich Gedanken 羹ber den Einfluss von Wissenschaft und Technik auf unsere Gesellschaft zu machen. Unterwegs wirft das Buch einen satirischen Blick auf die Wissenschaft an vorderster Front, die oft in den Medien ma?los gehypt wird. Es diskutiert Schl羹sseltechnologien, die ins Spiel kommen, wenn wir uns vorstellen, unsere Idee, einen Drachen zu bauen, in feuerspuckende Realit瓣t umzusetzen. W瓣hrend wir all diese Themen diskutieren, sprechen wir auch 羹ber die ethischen Probleme, die sich beim "Bau" eines Drachens ergeben, und die M繹glichkeiten, einen 瓣hnlichen Ansatz zu nutzen, um andere mythische Wesen, wie z.B. ein Einhorn, zu erschaffen. Dieses Buch, das jeden ansprechen sollte, enth瓣lt viele eindrucksvolle Illustrationen und andere interessante Abbildungen, darunter Drachendarstellungen, Bilder von Flugsaurierskeletten und vieles mehr.
The Body
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A must-read owner's manual for every body. Take a head-to-toe tour of the marvel that is the human body in this "delightful, anecdote-propelled read" (The Boston Globe) from the author of A Short History of Nearly Everything. With a new Afterword. "You will marvel at the brilliance and vast weirdness of your design." --The Washington Post Bill Bryson once again proves himself to be an incomparable companion as he guides us through the human body--how it functions, its remarkable ability to heal itself, and (unfortunately) the ways it can fail. Full of extraordinary facts (your body made a million red blood cells since you started reading this) and irresistible Brysonesque anecdotes, The Body will lead you to a deeper understanding of the miracle that is life in general and you in particular. As Bill Bryson writes, "We pass our existence within this wobble of flesh and yet take it almost entirely for granted." The Body will cure that indifference with generous doses of wondrous, compulsively readable facts and information. As addictive as it is comprehensive, this is Bryson at his very best.
Untargeted Alternative Routes of Arbovirus Transmission
Arboviruses have become global threats. Common to Dengue, Zika, yellow fever, chikungunya, and Mayaro viruses is their ability to be transmitted by mosquitoes. Several strategies based on transgenics or microbiology are currently being field-tested. While this approach seems hopeful, the research community needs to focus on potential backlash from these technologies to prevent failure. The aim of the Special Issue is to cover different transmission routes that are untargeted by the newly developed strategies to foresee limitations. Here, Fontenille & Powell gave their insights on how a mosquito species becomes a global vector, Yen & Failloux presented the limitations of Wolbachia-based population replacement, Pereira-dos-Santos et al. reviewed the evidence that Aedes albopictus is an important vector, and Diagne et al. gathered information about the latest emerging arbovirus: Mayaro. Manuel et al. demonstrated that in certain conditions mosquitoes efficiently transmit Zika viruses and Rozo-Lopez et al. showed that midges vertically transmit stomatitis virus, highlighting the epidemiological significance of vertical transmission. Vector competence for secondary vectors was improved by Kosoltanapiwat et al. during entomological surveillance and by Fernandes et al. when evaluating different vector species competence for Zika viruses. Morales-Vargas et al. and Calvez et al. improved our understanding of DENV2 and DENV4 epidemiology.
Classical Swine Fever
This book focuses on the "disease aspects" of classical swine fever (CSF). The epidemiological pattern of the reemergence of CSF from wild boars and its spread to neighboring domestic pigs provides useful information for policy makers. The recent advances in diagnostics and vaccines and how each type of vaccine should be appropriately used in various field situations provide useful information for practicing veterinarians and laboratory scientists, for example, whether the vaccine virus attenuated enough to not cross the placenta to avoid sequelae, how innocuous samples like serum should be cautiously treated to avoid risk of virus spread, how various genotypes of the CSF virus evolve and compete to survive in the field, and how the CSF virus molecularly manipulates normal cell biological processes for its own advantage to survive. Phylogenetic analyses help in tracing the origin of the CSF virus responsible for each outbreak. Overall, readers should be impressed by the capabilities of CFS in pigs. We hope that this book can be a useful reference for all colleagues, whether in CSF-free or CSF-affected parts of the world.
Molecular Marker Technology for Crop Improvement
Since the 1980s, agriculture and plant breeding have changed with the development of molecular marker technology. In recent decades, different types of molecular markers have been used for different purposes: mapping, marker-assisted selection, characterization of genetic resources, etc. These have produced effective genotyping, but the results have been costly and time-consuming due to the small number of markers that could be tested simultaneously. Recent advances in molecular marker technologies such as the development of high-throughput genotyping platforms, genotyping by sequencing, and the release of the genome sequences of major crop plants have opened new possibilities for advancing crop improvement. This Special Issue collects 16 research studies, including the application of molecular markers in 11 crop species, from the generation of linkage maps and diversity studies to the application of marker-assisted selection and genomic prediction.
Mycotoxins Occurence in Feed and Their Influence on Animal Health
According to the presented studies, the health condition of animals in rearing and breeding should be regularly monitored. This would allow early detection of delicate deviations in the body of clinically healthy individuals. Unfortunately, regular monitoring of the health of animals in commercial production is not performed. It follows that this type of research should be an introduction to further, more inquisitive steps. This can form the basis for further courses of action, indicating which organs or tissues field doctors or researchers should be interested in and what to pay attention to in order to find the correct answer, concerning the situation in the animal body. In the future, we should determine biomedical markers for use in precision veterinary medicine. In human medicine, this has been practiced with great success. The problem, however, is that we are getting to know more and more substances produced by mold fungi. This causes a build-up of new interpretative problems, causing health conditions (diagnosis), as well as analytical problems. To fully understand the results we need new techniques to assess toxicological and chemical hazards, including those related to undesirable substances. We need a solid knowledge of the biological pathways underlying the toxicity and tolerance to interference factors toxicological processes. We hope that the presented study will allow for a better understanding of mycotoxicoses that bother us and our animals, which will allow for more effective preventive actions.

What is Death?
what is death?A Scientist Looks at the Cycle of LifeAnswering the question ""What is death?"" by focusing on the individual is blinkered. It restricts attention to a narrow zone around the individual body of a creature. Instead, how expansive is the answer we receive when we look at the context of death within the biosphere. Death now is tied to all of life, via the atmosphere and ocean. Death supports the awesome biological enterprise of making abundant the green and squiggly life. Talk about death has headed us straight into a contemplation of life, not only individual life, but big life, life on a global scale. Death and life are neatly dovetailed by the supreme cabinetmaker of evolution. Again, the crucial feature is not the death of any one creature per se, but rather what is done with death. To reach into the meaning of death, we must reach out into the wider context of which death is a part.
The Evolution of Human Sexual Privacy
Human sexual nature today experiences many unanswered questions. Why does woman respond more slowly than man in arousal? What is the significance of the human orgasm? Why does sexual experience so often fail to form a lasting relationship? When is the most vulnerable time for a relationship in the process of formation? These and other questions are supported to find answers in our evolutional history.
Weltgeschichte zwischen Wissenschaft und Glaube / Teil 2
Um "ein weiteres hei?es Eisen" handelt es sich auch bei dem nun vorliegenden Buch Teil 2. In diesem geht es schwerpunktm瓣?ig um die Probleme, die mit einer Langzeitinterpretation - das hei?t mit dem postulierten langen Zeitraum f羹r die Entstehung unseres Universums - verbunden sind. Im Konsens mit dem naturwissenschaftlichen Establishments aller Fachgebiete, soll vor ca. 14 Milliarden Jahren der Urknall zur Expansion und Entwicklung des Weltalls gef羹hrt haben. Zwangsl瓣ufig sollen auf diese Weise alle Galaxien, Sterne und Planeten unseres Universums - und zuletzt wir Menschen - so entstanden sein. Im Zuge dessen habe sich das Leben auf der Erde rein zuf瓣llig und in Selbstorganisation entwickelt. Mit dieser Lehre propagiert man eine rein naturalistische Erkl瓣rung f羹r den Ursprung und die Entwicklung des Kosmos und allen Lebens auf dem Planeten Erde. Die Probleme mit dieser Lehre durchziehen wie ein roter Faden s瓣mtliche Kapitel dieses Buches. Das bedeutet, dass man das Wirken eines Designers kompromisslos ausschlie?t. Einem der Wissenschaft gem瓣?en Anspruch auf Objektivit瓣t entspricht dies nicht, weil die Frage nach Gott gar nicht gestellt werden darf. Wissenschaftlich ist dies deshalb unhaltbar. So ist die kritische Auseinandersetzung mit dieser Lehre "ein hei?es Eisen".
Characterization and Clinical Management of Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a particular phenotype of non-ischemic systolic heart failure, frequently recognizing a genetic background and affecting relatively young patients with few comorbidities. Nowadays, long-term survival of DCM patients has been markedly improved due to an early diagnosis and uninterrupted and tailored follow-up under constant optimal medical and non-pharmacological evidence-based treatments. Nevertheless, DCM is still one of the most common causes of heart transplantation in the western world. Clinical management requires an integrated and systematic use of diagnostic tools and a deeper investigation of the basic mechanisms underlying the disease. However, several emerging issues remain debated. Specifically, the genotype-phenotype correlation, the role of advanced imaging techniques and genetic testing, the lack of appropriate risk stratification models, the need for a multiparametric and multidisciplinary approach for device implantation, and a continuous reclassification of the disease during follow-up remain challenging issues in clinical practice. Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to shed the light on the most recent advancements in characterization and clinical management of DCM in order to unveil the conundrum of this particular disease.

Doctrinal Foundations of the Creation of Life
As a youth, Dr. Pearson's father, Glenn L. Pearson, former faculty in the College of Religious Instruction at Brigham Young University, taught his son to place the scriptures and inspired prophetic teachings ahead of the philosophies of men-this has served as his model throughout life. The influence of his father, his personal study of the scriptures and the teachings of inspired modern-day prophets has been the impetus behind his efforts in bringing about this book dealing with the subject of the creation of life on the earth. Pearson addresses philosophical issues, Latter-day Saint doctrine from scripture underlying the Creation, as well as scientific evidence backing the need for an intelligent creator-even Jesus Christ, the Creator of the heavens, the earth and all things therein.

3D Stem Cell Culture
Recently, stem cells have been drawing increasing interest in basic and translational research that aims to understand stem cell biology and generate new therapies for various disorders. Many stem cells can be cultured in 2D relatively easily using tissue culture plastic. However, many of these cultures do not represent the natural conditions of stem cells in the body. In the body, microenvironments include numerous supporting cells and molecules. Therefore, researchers and clinicians have sought ideal stem cell preparations for basic research and clinical applications, which may be attainable through 3D culture of stem cells. The 3D cultures mimic the conditions of the natural environment of stem cells better, as cells in 3D cultures exhibit many unique and desirable characteristics that could be beneficial for therapeutic interventions. 3D stem cell cultures may employ supporting structures, such as various matrices or scaffolds, in addition to stem cells, to support complex structures. This book brings together recent research on 3D cultures of various stem cells to increase the basic understanding of stem cell culture techniques and also to highlight stem cell preparations for possible novel therapeutic applications.

It provides the most complete summaries of his publications, manuscripts, lifetime itinerary, finances, personal library, friends and colleagues, opponents, visitors to his home, anniversaries, hundreds of flora, fauna, monuments and places named after him and a host of other topics. Also included are the most complete lists (iconographies) ever created of illustrations of the Beagle, over 1000 portraits of Darwin, his wife and home as well as all known Darwin photographs, stamps and caricatures. The book is richly illustrated with 350 images, most previously unknown.
Genes, Germs and Medicine: The Life of Joshua Lederberg
This is the first and only book on one of the most important scientists of the Twentieth Century.It offers a unique perspective on the origins of bacterial genetics and genetic engineering, and ethical issues to arise from bioengineering. Lederberg was the first, and the most important voice in warning of pandemics to come beginning in the late 1960s, and the need to prepare for them. Lederberg not only helped shape the biowarfare treaty of 1972, he also worked to enforce it through international cooperation with scientists.Lederberg was the first to successfully develop artificial intelligence in relation to science and medicine beginning in the early 1960s. He was one of the earliest proponents of the importance of symbiosis and lateral gene transfer in evolution which after five decades has come to the forefront of evolutionary theory today.Lederberg coined the term "microbiome" (as well as exobiology, plasmids, transduction, euphenics, etc.) and developed the concept of individuals as multigenomic superorganisms. The research on microbiomes is one of the most important and fasting growing fields in biomedical research today. Lederberg's development of clonal selection theory is a pillar of immunology.

Consumer Preferences and Acceptance of Food Products
The acceptance and preference of the sensory properties of foods are among the most important criteria determining food choice. Sensory perception and our response to food products, and finally food choice itself, are affected by a myriad of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The pressing question is, how do these factors specifically affect our acceptance and preference for foods, both in and of themselves, and in combination in various contexts, both fundamental and applied? In addition, which factors overall play the largest role in how we perceive and behave towards food in daily life? Finally, how can these factors be utilized to affect our preferences and final acceptance of real food and food products from industrial production and beyond for healthier eating? A closer look at trends in research showcasing the influence that these factors and our senses have on our perception and affective response to food products and our food choices is timely. Thus, in this Special Issue collection "Consumer Preferences and Acceptance of Food Products", we bring together articles which encompass the wide scope of multidisciplinary research in the space related to the determination of key factors involved linked to fundamental interactions, cross-modal effects in different contexts and eating scenarios, as well as studies that utilize unique study design approaches and methodologies.

Crop Pollination by Bees
The collapse of the ubiquitous honey bee population during the past 35 years has caused a pollination vacuum for many crops. Surveys and grower experience indicate that a crisis exists in pollinator populations. This book is a practical research-based guide to using bees for crop pollination. It emphasizes conserving feral bee populations as well as more traditional methods of culturing honey bees and other bees. There are two main sections that address the biology of pollination, and culturing and managing bees for optimum crop pollination. Volume 1 is intended as a practical guide to bees and how they pollinate essential crops, providing simple, succinct advice on how to increase bee abundance and pollination. Volume 2 provides the reader with information on bee pollination of specific crops. Both volumes will be essential reading for farmers, horticulturalists, and gardeners, and researchers and professionals working in insect ecology and conservation, and students of entomology and crop protection.
Metabolomic Applications in Animal Science
Metabolomics has been a useful method for various study fields. However, its application in animal science does not seem to be sufficient. Metabolomics will be useful for various studies in animal science: Animal genetics and breeding, animal physiology, animal nutrition, animal products (milk, meat, eggs, and their by-products) and their processing, livestock environment, animal biotechnology, animal behavior, and animal welfare. More application examples and protocols for animal science will promote more motivation to use metabolomics effectively in the study field. Therefore, in this Special Issue, we introduced some research and review articles for "Metabolomic Applications in Anmal Science". The main methods used were mass spectrometry or nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Not only a non-targeted, but also a targeted, analysis of metabolites is shown. The topics include dietary and pharmacological interventions and protocols for metabolomic experiments.

Animal Farm
Animal Farm is a beast fable, in the form of a satirical allegorical novella, by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945. It tells the story of a group of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy. Ultimately, the rebellion is betrayed, and under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon, the farm ends up in a state as bad as it was before.
Freshwater Algal Toxins
Cyanobacterial abundance has increased disproportionately, and this trend is likely to continue in the coming decades. This increase not only has deleterious effects on ecosystem biodiversity but also adversely affects drinking water supplies, livestock watering, crop yields, aquaculture, etc. Thus, the proliferation of cyanobacterial blooms presents human and animal health risks due to the common production of potent toxins, cyanotoxins. Moreover, these risks are aggravated by the accumulation potential of cyanotoxins and their transference to the food chain. In spite of the worldwide increasing occurrence of cyanotoxins, they are still underestimated in regulations. However, risk management of cyanotoxins is only possible after a thorough risk evaluation, and for that purpose, toxicity and exposure data are required. Thus, occurrence and monitoring information is of key importance, and new data in relation to the conditions that favor cyanobacterial growth and cyanotoxin production are welcome in order to prevent their appearance. On the other hand, in regard to toxicity, there are still many data gaps to fill. This book compiles 10 research papers and a review, which provide valuable contributions on all these aspects and demonstrate the importance of cyanobacteria toxins research.
