The course of biological warfare and modern use of biological weapons are difficult to track owing to the difficulty of differentiating deliberate use from natural outbreaks. However, the keen potential of biological weapons in acts of terror was shown in the mass disruption caused in the fall 2001 experience in the U.

S. with the release of anthrax through the American postal system.

Chemical weapons have been used in a handful of conflicts since their introduction to modern warfare during World War I, most recently during the Iran-Iraq War during the 1980s. Despite this limited experience, NBC warfare continues to exert (less)

On the other, we all indulge in fibs, tall tales and fantasies. If lying is wrong, why do we all do it - both to others, and to ourselves? In Born Liars, Ian Leslie argues that, far from being a bug in the human software, lying is central to who we are; that we cannot understand ourselves without first understanding the dynamics of deceit.

Using a vivid, panoramic style, he explores the role of deception and self-deception in our childhoods, our careers, and our health, and the part played by lies - both black and white - in art, advertising, sport, politics and war (less)

"The common view of chemical and biological weapons is that they are a poor man's atomic bomb, that they are vile instruments of terror that civilized nations just do not use. This naive and narrow viewpoint ignores the fact that nations owning nuclear weapons have also developed chemical and biological weapons, not content with the nuclear weapons' more destructive capability.

This view disregards the fact that more countries are investing in chemical and biological weapons programs than in the past despite the alleged perceptions that the world finds these weapons "immoral." Countries invest in chemical and biological warfare for very rational (less)

To this end, the book is replete with examples and exercises that simulate advanced CMOS circuit design using Microwind and Dsch, which are software simulation tools developed by the author. The book provides an in-depth understanding of CMOS cell architecture and layout techniques, analog behavior, performances and RF analog cell design.

One particular field which is inadequately covered in the currently available literature is the microscopy of culinary herbs and spices, and as certain medicinal products such as ginger and Clove, described in the earlier book, also have culinary uses, a logical expansion seemed to be to include some of the more important herbs and spices commonly used in food products. By widening the scope in this way it is hoped that this present work will provide a more useful reference (less)

Our aim is to identify the genes governing decisive steps in cell differentiation, and the subsequent characterisation of the regulation of the genes. The use of both classic and somatic cell genetics (Gene transfer, T-DNA gene tagging, mutagenesis and map-based cloning) in conjunction with approaches based on biochemistry, cytology and in vitro culture, have enable us to analyse essential plant functions.

We participate extensively in the development of generic methodologies for the analysis of the plant genome and the dynamics of gene expression. This (less)

"In the wake of 9/11 the threat of biological terrorism and sabotage has been thrust to the forefront of public consciousness. However, this is far from being a new phenomenon.

From World War II onwards, the Cold War powers devoted considerable resources to developing what became known in the military as 'bugs and gas'. This groundbreaking new study lifts the lid on the top-secret department 12 of Directorate S (Special Operations) - the elite inner core of the KGB first chief directorate and its successor, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service.

The first editon of Bioinformatics Basics: Applications in Biological Science and Medicine answered the scientific community’s need to learn about the bioinformatic tools available to them. That the book continues to be a best seller clearly demonstrates the authors’ ability to provide scientists with the understanding to apply those tools to their research.

Currently, it is being used as a reference text at MIT and other prestigious institutions. Recognizing the important advances in bioinformatices since their last edition, Buehler and Rashidi have produced a completely revised and updated version of their pioneering work.
