The Gut Microbiome Bench to Table

The Gut Microbiome Bench to Table

The influence of the gut microbiome on human health and disease has been established in recent years through advances in high-throughput DNA sequencing. The Gut Microbiome: Bench to Table presents a scientific introduction to this topic analyzes research on how the microbiome is affected by nutrients and how dietary modifications can alter the microbiome. Written by a multidisciplinary team of experts it is divided into three sections. The first section details the current state of laboratory-scale analysis of gut microbiome samples and how we can identify the communities and their functional repertoire. Section II explains the next phase of translational research models such as preclinical animal studies proof of concept safety and efficacy human trials. The third section demonstrates the effectiveness of therapeutic treatments in larger populations. It addresses how diet influences the gut microbiome and presents an array of approaches that have been reported including a discussion of issues of the safety of probiotics and selected supplements and micronutrients.

Packet Forwarding Technologies

Packet Forwarding Technologies

As Internet traffic continues to grow exponentially there is a great need to build Internet protocol (IP) routers with high-speed and high-capacity packet networking capabilities. The first book to explore this subject Packet Forwarding Technologies explains in depth packet forwarding concepts and implementation technologies. It covers the data structures algorithms and architectures used to implement high-speed routers. Following an introduction to the architecture of IP routers the author discusses how IP address lookup is one of the major bottlenecks in high-performance routers. He describes the characteristics of a routing table and addresses the difficulty of the longest-matching prefix search. The remainder of the book deals with fast IP address lookup. Coverage includes the various available architectures data structures and algorithms based on software and hardware as well as detailed discussions on state-of-the-art innovations. With many illustrations tables and simulations this practical guide to packet forwarding technologies facilitates understanding of IP routers and the latest router designs.

Systems Medicine Physiological Circuits and the Dynamics of Disease

Systems Medicine Physiological Circuits and the Dynamics of Disease

Why do we get certain diseases whereas other diseases do not exist? In this book Alon one of the founders of systems biology builds a foundation for systems medicine. Starting from basic laws the book derives why physiological circuits are built the way they are. The circuits have fragilities that explain specific diseases and offer new strategies to treat them. By the end the reader will be able to use simple and powerful mathematical models to describe physiological circuits. The book explores in three parts hormone circuits immune circuits and aging and age-related disease. It culminates in a periodic table of diseases. Alon writes in a style accessible to a broad range of readers - undergraduates graduates or researchers from computational or biological backgrounds. The level of math is friendly and the math can even be bypassed altogether. For instructors and readers who want to go deeper the book includes dozens of exercises that have been rigorously tested in the classroom | Systems Medicine Physiological Circuits and the Dynamics of Disease

A Course in the Large Sample Theory of Statistical Inference

A Course in the Large Sample Theory of Statistical Inference

This book provides an accessible but rigorous introduction to asymptotic theory in parametric statistical models. Asymptotic results for estimation and testing are derived using the “moving alternative” formulation due to R. A. Fisher and L. Le Cam. Later chapters include discussions of linear rank statistics and of chi-squared tests for contingency table analysis including situations where parameters are estimated from the complete ungrouped data. This book is based on lecture notes prepared by the first author subsequently edited expanded and updated by the second author. Key features: Succinct account of the concept of “asymptotic linearity” and its uses Simplified derivations of the major results under an assumption of joint asymptotic normality Inclusion of numerical illustrations practical examples and advice Highlighting some unexpected consequences of the theory Large number of exercises many with hints to solutions Some facility with linear algebra and with real analysis including ‘epsilon-delta’ arguments is required. Concepts and results from measure theory are explained when used. Familiarity with undergraduate probability and statistics including basic concepts of estimation and hypothesis testing is necessary and experience with applying these concepts to data analysis would be very helpful. | A Course in the Large Sample Theory of Statistical Inference

A History of Sports Coaching in Britain Overcoming Amateurism

A History of Sports Coaching in Britain Overcoming Amateurism

At the London Olympics in 2012 Team GB achieved a third place finish in the medals table. A key factor in this achievement was the high standard of contemporary British sports coaching. But how has British sports coaching transitioned from the amateur to the professional and what can the hitherto under-explored history of sports coaching in Britain tell us about both the early history of sport and about contemporary coaching practice? A History of Sports Coaching in Britain is the first book to attempt to examine the history of British sports coaching from its amateur roots in the deep nineteenth century to the high performance high status professional coaching cultures of today. The book draws on original primary source material including the lost coaching lives of key individuals in British coaching to trace the development of coaching in Britain. It assesses the continuing impact of the nineteenth-century amateur ethos throughout the twentieth century and includes important comparisons with developments in international coaching particularly in North America and the Eastern Bloc. The book also explores the politicisation of sport and the complicated interplay between politics and coaching practice and illuminates the origins of the structures organisations and philosophies that surround performance sport in Britain today. This book is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in the history of sport sports coaching sports development or the relationships between sport and wider society. | A History of Sports Coaching in Britain Overcoming Amateurism
