| Title | Guerrilla Science : Survival Strategies of a Cuban Physicist |
| Author(s) | Altshuler, Ernesto |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. |
| Description | X, 147 p. 71 illus., 50 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Full of drama, dedication, and humor, this book narrates the author???s often frustrating experiences working as an experimental physicist in Cuba after the disintegration of the so-called socialist block. Lacking finance and infrastructure, faced with makeshift equipment, unpredictable supplies, and unreliable IT, Altshuler tells how he and his students overcame numerous challenges to make novel and interesting contributions to several fields of science. Along the way, he explains the science - from studies of ant colonies to superconductivity - either qualitatively or quantitatively, but always at a level fully understandable to an undergraduate student of natural sciences or engineering. An even wider audience, however, may skip the technical sections without missing the essence. With numerous anecdotes, photographs and the author???s own delightful cartoons, the book tells a remarkable, and often amusing story of how successful science can be performed against all odds |

| Title | Red Cell Membrane Transport in Health and Disease |
| Author(s) | Bernhardt, Ingolf;Ellory, J. Clive |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2003. |
| Description | XXVIII, 748 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book describes our current understanding of the transport of ions, amino acids, nucleosides, sugars, water and gases across the red blood cell membrane. It also outlines the necessary theoretical background to understand the dynamics of membrane constituents together with the mechanisms of transport pathways (pumps, channels, carriers/cotransporters, residual passive permeability). Separate chapters describe our present ideas about membrane and metabolic disorders as well as red blood cell diseases like malaria, sickle cell disease, and hypertension. The latest findings are explained on the basis of a historical review and well-established principles. The book and its chapters are thus structured in a manner that makes the material accessible to beginners in the field of red blood cell physiology and biophysics. Active researchers will also benefit from this carefully organized compilation |

| Title | Astrobiological Neurosystems : Rise and Fall of Intelligent Life Forms in the Universe |
| Author(s) | Cranford, Jerry L |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. |
| Description | IX, 204 p. 87 illus., 68 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book??explains why scientists believe that life may be more common in the Universe than previously considered possible.??It presents??the tools and strategies astronomers and astrobiologists are using in their formal search for habitable exoplanets as well as more advanced forms of life in other parts of our galaxy.??The author??then summarizes what is currently known about how and where organic molecules critical to our form of carbon-based life are manufactured. The core of the book explains (and presents educated guesses) how nervous systems evolved on Earth, how they work, and how they might work on other worlds. Combining his knowledge of neuroscience, computers, and astrobiology the author jumps into the discussion whether biological nervous systems are just the first step in the rise of intelligence in the Universe. The book ends with a description from both the psychologist???s and the neuroscientist???s viewpoints, exactly what it is about the fields of astrobiology and astronomy that ???boggles the minds??? of many amateur astronomers and interested non-scientists. This book stands out from other popular science books on astrobiology by making the point that ???astro-neurobiologists??? need to begin thinking about how alien nervous systems might work |

| Author(s) | Braun, Markus;Gilch, Peter;Zinth, Wolfgang |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2008. |
| Description | XV, 320 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Sources of ultrashort laser pulses are nowadays commercially available and have entered many areas of research and development. This book gives an overview of biological and medical applications of these laser pulses. The briefness of these laser pulses permits the tracing of the fastest processes in photo-active bio-systems, which is one focus of the book. The other focus is applications that rely on the high peak intensity of ultrashort laser pulses. Examples covered span non-linear imaging techniques, optical tomography, and laser surgery |

| Title | Microscopic Imaging Through Turbid Media : Monte Carlo Modeling and Applications |
| Author(s) | Gu, Min;Gan, Xiaosong;Deng, Xiaoyuan |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2015. |
| Description | XII, 187 p. 123 illus., 5 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book provides a systematic introduction to the principles of microscopic imaging through tissue-like turbid media in terms of Monte-Carlo simulation. It describes various gating mechanisms based on the physical differences between the unscattered and scattered photons and method for microscopic image reconstruction, using the concept of the effective point spread function. Imaging an object embedded in a turbid medium is a challenging problem in physics as well as in biophotonics. A turbid medium surrounding an object under inspection causes multiple scattering, which degrades the contrast, resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. Biological tissues are typically turbid media. Microscopic imaging through a tissue-like turbid medium can provide higher resolution than transillumination imaging in which no objective is used. This book serves as a valuable reference for engineers and scientists working on microscopy of tissue turbid media |

| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2011. |
| Description | XV, 215 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | For decades experiments conducted on space stations like MIR and the ISS have been gathering data in many fields of research in the natural sciences, medicine and engineering. The European Union-sponsored ULISSE project focused on exploring the wealth of unique experimental data provided by revealing raw and metadata from these studies via an Internet Portal. This book complements the portal. It serves as a handbook of space experiments and describes the various types of experimental infrastructure areas of research in the life and physical sciences and technology space missions that hosted scientific experiments the types and structures of the data produced and how one can access the data through ULISSE for further research. The book provides an overview of the wealth of space experiment data that can be used for additional research and will inspire academics (e.g. those looking for topics for their PhD thesis) and research departments in companies for their continued development |

| Title | Biophysics and the Challenges of Emerging Threats |
| Author(s) | Puglisi, Joseph |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2009. |
| Description | VII, 179 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Single-molecule techniques eliminate ensemble averaging, thus revealing transient or rare species in heterogeneous systems [1???3]. These approaches have been employed to probe myriad biological phenomena, including protein and RNA folding [4???6], enzyme kinetics [7, 8], and even protein biosynthesis [1, 9, 10]. In particular, immobilization-based fluorescence te- niques such as total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRF-M) have recently allowed for the observation of multiple events on the millis- onds to seconds timescale [11???13]. Single-molecule fluorescence methods are challenged by the instability of single fluorophores. The organic fluorophores commonly employed in single-molecule studies of biological systems display fast photobleaching, intensity fluctuations on the millisecond timescale (blinking), or both. These phenomena limit observation time and complicate the interpretation of fl- rescence fluctuations [14, 15]. Molecular oxygen (O) modulates dye stability. Triplet O efficiently 2 2 quenches dye triplet states responsible for blinking. This results in the for- tion of singlet oxygen [16???18]. Singlet O reacts efficiently with organic dyes, 2 amino acids, and nucleobases [19, 20]. Oxidized dyes are no longer fluor- cent; oxidative damage impairs the folding and function of biomolecules. In the presence of saturating dissolved O , blinking of fluorescent dyes is sup- 2 pressed, but oxidative damage to dyes and biomolecules is rapid. Enzymatic O -scavenging systems are commonly employed to ameliorate dye instability. 2 Small molecules are often employed to suppress blinking at low O levels |
