Download or read book Visualizing Biological Information written by Clifford A Pickover and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1995-12-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological data of all kinds is proliferating at an incredible rate. If humans attempt to read such data in the form of numbers and letters, they will take in the information at a snail's pace. If the information is rendered graphically, however, human analysts can assimilate it and gain insight at a much faster rate. The emphasis of this book is on the graphic representation of information-containing sequences such as DNA and amino acid sequences in order to help the human analyst find interesting and biologically relevant patterns. The editor's goal is to make this voyage through molecular biology, genetics and computer graphics as accessible to a broad audience as possible, with the inclusion of glossaries at the end of most chapters and program outlines where applicable. The book will be of most interest to biologists and computer scientists and the various large reference lists should be of interest to beginners and advanced students of biology, graphic art and computer science. Contributors have sought to find pattern and meaning in the cacophony of genetic and protein sequence data using unusual computer graphics and musical techniques. Contents:A Picture of the Genetic Code (R Swanson & S M Swanson)Graphic Representations of Amino Acid Sequences (A Williams et al.)Representing Protein Sequence and Three-Dimensional Structure in Two Dimensions (R Swanson)Visual Display of Sequence Conservation as an Aid to Taxonomic Classification Using PCR Amplification (P K Rogan et al.)Perceptible Features in Graphical Representations of Nucleic Acid Sequences (J Ninio and E Mizraji)Representations of Protein Patterns from Two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis Databases (P F Lemkin)A Protein Visualization Program (D A Kuznetsov & H A Lim)Gene Music: Tonal Assignments of Bases and Amino Acids (N Munakata & K Hayashi)Diagrammatic Representation of Base Composition in DNA Sequences (C-T Zhang)A Transforming Function for the Generation of Fractal Functions from Nucleotide Sequences (J Campione-Piccardo)Visualization of Open Reading Frames in mRNA Sequences (P B Hackett et al.)Visualization of Protein Sequences Using the Two-Dimensional Hydrophobic Cluster Analysis Method (M T Semertzidis et al.)Diagnosis of Complex Patterns in Protein Sequences (T K Attwood & D J Parry-Smith)RNA Folding and Evolution (K Yamamoto & H Yoshikura)Representation of Biological Sequences Using Point Geometry Analysis (Y K Huen) Readership: General. keywords:Genomics;Genetics;Genome;Scientific Visualization;Computer Graphics;Proteomics;Bioinformatics;DNA;Fractals;Biology;Molecular Biology;Biochemistry;Computational Biology;Amino Acids;Proteins;Protein Sequences;DNA Sequences;Genetic Code “Biologists and computer scientists will find treasure in this serious exploration of visualization in molecular biology and information-containing sequences. The editor's extensive preface is invaluable to the general reader and to those interested in the rapidly expanding world of biology on the Internet.” Dawn C S Friedman “… this is a fascinating book about a fascinating subject … two impressive colour plates and many black and white illustrations and diagrams … Some of the contributions go beyond the description of the algorithms and methods and include computer code … Their chapter includes 3 music scores produced from DNA data and a script for “Hypercard” and “HyperMIDI 2.0” (Macintosh computer). Some of the algorithms to “visualise” the sequences are in principle simple and at the same time very powerful; with some computer skills one may be able to reproduce or implement the methods describes … it will be of interest to a broad range of readers, from biochemists to molecular biologists, computer and computer graphics scientists … may also appeal to computer enthusiasts …” Gabriel Landini Fractal Report “This example of the work of the greatest artist of all, Nature herself, is also the frontispiece of the biological visualization book.” The Chemical Intelligencer

Download or read book Strategic Thinking and the New Science written by T. Irene Sanders and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1998-05-05 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future is happening today, and the most successful organizations will be those that understand the dynamics of the "big picture" in which their decisions are being made. This book describes how to understand and influence that picture. Irene Sanders pioneered the application of chaos theory and complexity to strategic thinking -- the most essential skill in today's fast-paced business environment. Now, in this straightforward, easy-to-read book, she shows how the most up-to-date strategic thinking is done, and how you can begin using it in your enterprise. Sanders' original and practical approach moves far beyond traditional forecasting, futuring and scenario-building. The new science of chaos and complexity has shown scientists and business professionals alike the importance of looking at the world as a whole system, rather than as a collection of deterministic principles. Consequently, the human mind -- through the integration of intuition and intellect -- is now recognized as the only information processor capable of understanding the level of complexity in today's global business environment. By engaging the mind's eye through the use of visual thinking, Sanders shows you how to develop insight about the present and foresight about the future, thereby allowing you to see and influence the future as it is emerging. The new planning paradigm presented in Strategic Thinking and the New Science is nothing less than a transformation of the science of business. For the first time in history, we have the knowledge, tools and techniques to develop visual thinking as the essential insight/foresight skill of the future. In addition to breakthroughs neuroscientists have made about brain-mind interactions, artists and psychologists are revealing the role of imagery in the creative process. And now, the new field of scientific visualization brings all of this information together with computer graphics to demonstrate how visual images can be used to engage our imaginations, enhance learning -- and stimulate our deeper levels of awareness. In this groundbreaking book, Sanders is the first to define the new model of strategic thinking -- a model that is bound to revolutionize organizations of all types as they begin to see and influence their futures -- today.

This book was released on 2005-12-06 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Correcting the Great Mistake People often mistake one thing for another. That’s human nature. However, one would expect the leaders in a particular ?eld of endeavour to have superior ab- ities to discriminate among the developments within that ?eld. That is why it is so perplexing that the technology elite – supposedly savvy folk such as software developers, marketers and businessmen – have continually mistaken Web-based graphics for something it is not. The ?rst great graphics technology for the Web,VRML,has been mistaken for something else since its inception. Viewed variously as a game system,a format for architectural walkthroughs,a platform for multi-user chat and an augmentation of reality,VRML may qualify as the least understood invention in the history of inf- mation technology. Perhaps it is so because when VRML was originally introduced it was touted as a tool for putting the shopping malls of the world online,at once prosaic and horrifyingly mundane to those of us who were developing it. Perhaps those ?rst two initials,“VR”,created expectations of sprawling,photorealistic f- tasy landscapes for exploration and play across the Web. Or perhaps the magnitude of the invention was simply too great to be understood at the time by the many, ironically even by those spending the money to underwrite its development. Regardless of the reasons,VRML suffered in the mainstream as it was twisted to meet unintended ends and stretched far beyond its limitations.

Download or read book Science Fact and Science Fiction written by Brian Stableford and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-06 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science fiction is a literary genre based on scientific speculation. Works of science fiction use the ideas and the vocabulary of all sciences to create valid narratives that explore the future effects of science on events and human beings. Science Fact and Science Fiction examines in one volume how science has propelled science-fiction and, to a lesser extent, how science fiction has influenced the sciences. Although coverage will discuss the science behind the fiction from the Classical Age to the present, focus is naturally on the 19th century to the present, when the Industrial Revolution and spectacular progress in science and technology triggered an influx of science-fiction works speculating on the future. As scientific developments alter expectations for the future, the literature absorbs, uses, and adapts such contextual visions. The goal of the Encyclopedia is not to present a catalog of sciences and their application in literary fiction, but rather to study the ongoing flow and counterflow of influences, including how fictional representations of science affect how we view its practice and disciplines. Although the main focus is on literature, other forms of science fiction, including film and video games, are explored and, because science is an international matter, works from non-English speaking countries are discussed as needed.
