Introduction to Forensic DNA Evidence for Criminal Justice Professionals The use of DNA profiling in forensic cases has been considered the most innovative technique in forensic science since fingerprinting yet for those with limited scientific knowledge understanding DNA enough to utilize it properly can be a daunting task. Introduction to Forensic DNA Evidence for Criminal Justice Professionals is designed for nonscientific readers who need to learn how to effectively use forensic DNA in criminal cases. Written by a forensic scientist world renowned for her expertise in clothing examination the book provides a balanced perspective on the weight of DNA evidence. Going beyond a simple explanation of the methodology it arms attorneys and other criminal justice professionals with knowledge of the strengths and limitations of the evidence including the danger in relying on DNA statistical probabilities in the determination of guilt. The book covers the most common DNA methods used in criminal trials today nuclear DNA short tandem repeat (STR) techniques mitochondrial DNA and Y-STR profiling. It helps prosecutors know when to emphasize DNA evidence or proceed with trial in the absence of such evidence. It assists defense lawyers in knowing when to challenge DNA evidence and perhaps employ an independent expert when to focus elsewhere or when to secure the advantage of an early guilty plea. By imparting practical and theoretical knowledge in an accessible manner the book demystifies the topic to help both sides of the adversarial system understand where DNA evidence fits within the context of the case.

The Inhibitor Index A Desk Reference on Enzyme Inhibitors Receptor Antagonists Drugs Toxins Poisons Biologics and Therapeutic Leads Metabolic inhibitors and receptor antagonists are indispensable tools for the molecular life scientist. By blocking specific enzymes or receptor-mediated signal transduction cascades they simplify the analysis of complex cellular processes especially when it is essential to demonstrate that a process of interest is functionally linked to a particular enzyme or receptor. From antibiotics to statins modern medicine relies on the reliability and ease-of-use of enzyme- and receptor-directed inhibitors and antagonists. The Inhibitor Index is a comprehensive curated compendium of over 7 800 enzyme inhibitors and receptor antagonists including many toxins poisons and metabolic uncouplers. | The Inhibitor Index A Desk Reference on Enzyme Inhibitors Receptor Antagonists Drugs Toxins Poisons Biologics and Therapeutic Leads GBP 205.00 1

Pharmaceutical Biocatalysis Drugs Genetic Diseases and Epigenetics Volume 7 of the Jenny Stanford Series on Biocatalysis deals with several different aspects of pharmaceuticals which include not only various applications of drugs and their metabolism but also natural resources for active pharmaceutical ingredients as well as the removal of pharmaceutical pollution. In detail novel approaches for developing microbial fermentation processes to produce vitamin B6 using microorganisms are described together with novel routes for vitamin B6 biosynthesis. The other topics discussed are new approaches for producing the successful anticancer drug Taxol from naturally occurring precursors molecular farming through plant engineering as a cost-effective means to produce therapeutic and prophylactic proteins and successful screening of potent microorganisms producing L-asparaginase for various chemotherapeutic applications. Furthermore microbial biotransformations in the production and degradation of fluorinated pharmaceuticals are described. The other chapters inform the reader about the biotransformation of xenobiotics/drugs in living systems the degradation of pharmaceuticals by white-rot fungi and their ligninolytic enzymes and the removal of pharmaceutical pollution from municipal sewage using laccase. | Pharmaceutical Biocatalysis Drugs Genetic Diseases and Epigenetics GBP 193.00 1
The Routledge Companion to Media Anthropology The Routledge Companion to Media Anthropology provides a broad overview of the widening and flourishing area of media anthropology and outlines key themes debates and emerging directions. The Routledge Companion to Media Anthropology draws together the work of scholars from across the globe with rich ethnographic studies that address a wide range of media practices and forms. Comprising 41 chapters by a team of international contributors the Companion is divided into three parts: Histories Approaches Thematic Considerations. The chapters offer wide-ranging explorations of how forms of mediation influence communication social relationships cultural practices participation and social change as well as production and access to information and knowledge. This volume considers new developments and highlights the ways in which anthropology can contribute to the study of the human condition and the social processes in which media are entangled. This is an indispensable teaching resource for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students and an essential text for scholars working across the areas that media anthropology engages with including anthropology sociology media and cultural studies internet and communication studies and science and technology studies.
