Hare (Paperback / softback - 1 Apr 2010)

Once described as the “fastest, hairiest, most lascivious, and most melancholy” of mammals, the hare was also believed to never close its eyes, occasionally grow horns, and have the ability to change its sex.

Modeling Phase Transitions in the Brain (Hardback - 22 Mar 2010)

Modeling Phase Transitions in the Brain
Foreword by Walter J. Freeman. The induction of unconsciousness using anesthetic agents demonstrates that the cerebral cortex can operate in two very different behavioral modes: alert and responsive vs. unaware and quiescent. But the states of wakefulness and sleep are not single-neuron properties---they emerge as bulk properties of cooperating populations of neurons, with the switchover between states being...

D-Amino Acids: Practical Methods & Protocols -- Volume 3: D-Amino Acids in Peptides & Proteins (Hardback - 1 Apr 2010)

D-Amino Acids
D-Amino acids are stereoisomers or optical isomers of naturally occurring L-amino acids. D Amino acids and L-amino acids have almost the same physical and chemical properties. D-Amino acids have been considered to be unnatural substances that are produced only when we synthesise amino acids in laboratories or factories. Indeed, equal amounts of D-amino acids and L-amino acids (racemic mixture) are produced by...

Biological Clocks: Effects on Behavior, Health & Outlook (Hardback - 1 Apr 2010)

Biological Clocks
The emerging discipline denominated "chronoecology of behaviour" is the result of the interaction between the work of behavioural ecologists and chronobiologists -- those who explain biological rhythms on the basis of experimental studies carried out in the laboratory. Since the beginning of this century, this interaction has generated interest in understanding how biological rhythms behave in organisms...
