Download or read book Genesis Machines written by Martyn Amos and published by Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2007-06-14 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paperback version of the groundbreaking book about the next generation of computers: not only are they smaller—they're alive. Cells, gels, and DNA strands are the "wetware" of the twenty-first century. Imagine taking cells from a cancer patient and programming them to detect disease and then prompt the body to cure itself. Or clothes woven with microchips, nanofibers, and living cells to form wearable bio-weapons detection systems. Both of these revolutionary applications are closer than we think. Some scientists are pushing the boundaries even further by creating synthetic biology where brand new creatures are engineered in the laboratory. In this breathtaking book, a leading expert in the field reveals just how the stuff of science fiction is rapidly becoming a reality. This new technology will change the way we think—not just about computers, but about the nature of life itself.

Book Synopsis The Cell as a Machine by : Michael Sheetz
Download or read book The Cell as a Machine written by Michael Sheetz and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique introductory text explains cell functions using the engineering principles of robust devices. Adopting a process-based approach to understanding cell and tissue biology, it describes the molecular and mechanical features that enable the cell to be robust in operating its various components, and explores the ways in which molecular modules respond to environmental signals to execute complex functions. The design and operation of a variety of complex functions are covered, including engineering lipid bilayers to provide fluid boundaries and mechanical controls, adjusting cell shape and forces with dynamic filament networks, and DNA packaging for information retrieval and propagation. Numerous problems, case studies and application examples help readers connect theory with practice, and solutions for instructors and videos of lectures accompany the book online. Assuming only basic mathematical knowledge, this is an invaluable resource for graduate and senior undergraduate students taking single-semester courses in cell mechanics, biophysics and cell biology.
Book Synopsis The Mind and the Machine by : Matthew T. Dickerson
Download or read book The Mind and the Machine written by Matthew T. Dickerson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-07-29 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are humans just complex biochemical machines, mere physical parts of a causally closed materialist universe? Are we approaching the so-called "Singularity" when human consciousness can (and will) be downloaded into computers? Or is there more to the human person--something that might be known as soul or spirit? As this book makes clear, the answers to these questions have profound implications to topics such as heroism, creativity, ecology, and the possibility of reason and science. In exploring this important topic, Dickerson engages the ideas of some well-known twentieth- and twenty-first-century espousers of physicalism, including philosopher Daniel Dennett (Consciousness Explained), biologist Richard Dawkins (The God Delusion), futurist-engineer Raymond Kurzweil (The Age of Spiritual Machines), psychologist B. F. Skinner (Beyond Freedom and Dignity), and mathematician-philosopher Bertrand Russell (Why I Am Not a Christian). Through a careful reading of their works, Dickerson not only provides a five-fold critique of physicalism, but also offers a Christian alternative in the form of "integrative dualism," which affirms the existence of both a physical and spiritual reality without diminishing the goodness or importance of either, and acknowledges that humans are spiritual as well as bodily persons.

Book Synopsis The Episode of Life by : Amjad Fatemi Phd
Download or read book The Episode of Life written by Amjad Fatemi Phd and published by Amjad Fatemi. This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Episode of Life "Consciousness, Creation, and the Universe" " The journey of life is about how consciously a person reflects upon the stream of light and sound that surges from the trinity of Ultimate Consciousness." That guides a seeker of truth to understand where he has come from, why is here, and where is his destination. It is facts base of human finding, undiscovered time, and function of consciousness on journey of self-discovery, as they seek to understand the formation of the universe, creation, and the meaning of life. Consciousness is the reality of existence from that reality truth can be recognized. Part One: Human Background and Knowledge The ladder of human knowledge reveals how knowledge has been built up through three eras to the scientific approach of general knowledge, classical knowledge, and quantum knowledge. Part Two: Beyond Human Knowledge It explains the concepts of truth, the ocean of existence, the mind, form and image, and passions, desires and needs, and it unfolds the process whereby the human mind deals with knowledge by fragmenting any reality into pieces and then restructuring each concept in order to build up a concrete truth. Human mind is an evolved inherited animalistic mind from which human behavior and character have developed, and it deals with two groups of images: Basic Images and Abstract Images, through those human consciousness has been evolved. Part Three: Consciousness, Mind, and Duality Duality based on the concepts of Twin-times and Virtual space in effect sets up layers of an information system pattern which unifies sub-particles, planets, and the entire universe. Part Four: Evolution of the Mind and the Dawn of Human Consciousness Delving further into the evolution of the human mind, this section discusses the dawn of human evolutionary consciousness through the second memory. This brings up the mindset of thought form based on basic fear, abstract fear, social fear, and mind passions. Part Five: Beyond Egoistic Mind This section focuses on the still mind, the inner self, recognition, acceptance, society, and education. Part Six: Beliefs and Spiritual Consciousness Crossroad Part Six is concerned with spirituality, the fourth stage of knowledge after that deals with new era of human consciousness, and discusses beliefs, higher and lower consciousness, concepts of deity and devil, mission of enlightened soul, logic, emotion, and the process of consciousness expansion. Part Seven: Physical Body and Awareness Our body is a biochemical time machine that harmonizes at every moment with every level of awareness, and its timing sequence synchronizes every aspect of life without divergence. Biochemical time machine patterns alter at every moment in regards to attitude and awareness. Consciousness Atom (Soul) on its continuity of life at different gender creates psychological behavior. Part Eight: Creation of Consciousness This part deals with the composition of ultimate consciousness, spiritual consciousness, cosmic consciousness, format of creation, soul and gender, and spiritual psychology. Conceptualizing creation through Abstract Conscious Mind leads us to theorize how the universe is created from big bang or many other speculations. Part Nine: Creation of the Universe Understanding the existence of the universe depends on how the microcosmic mind can perceive the macrocosm. This is the culmination of bases of knowledge, and it brings the focus to Electrosonic field as a connecting aspect of the every pattern in the universe and answers to the questions of the origin and formation of the universe, space and time, Big Bang, black holes, puzzle of awareness, Electrosonic field and it is the wave of Gravitation model of the universe, form of the universe, and life. The conclusion is life and love.

Book Synopsis A Primer for the Exercise and Nutrition Sciences by : Christopher B. Scott
Download or read book A Primer for the Exercise and Nutrition Sciences written by Christopher B. Scott and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-01-09 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What a journey writing this text has been. The lengthy voyage started well before the idea hatched of authoring a text that contained the word “thermodynamics”! I was informed by my good friend and sometimes colleague Dr. Jose Antonio that by including that word in the title, nutritionists and exercise physiologists might avoid the subject. But almost every step of my expedition was taken on a rather solid foundation of thermodynamics and as such the topic could not possibly be omitted from the title or the text of a book about bioenergetics and energy expenditure. I am not a physicist. In fact I ?rst went to college to become a football coach. That vocational choice began to deteriorate when taking the mandatory anatomy and physiology courses required of all physical education majors. This information was exciting; my interest in physical education began to wane. During sophomore year, I answered an advertisement in the school newspaper requesting research subjects.

Book Synopsis The Case for a Creator by : Lee Strobel
Download or read book The Case for a Creator written by Lee Strobel and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-05-18 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the astonishing evidence for intelligent design in this New York Times bestselling book by award-winning journalist Lee Strobel. "My road to atheism was paved by science . . . but, ironically, so was my later journey to God," Strobel says. During his academic years, Lee Strobel became convinced that God was obsolete, a belief that colored his journalism career. Science had made the idea of a Creator irrelevant--or so Strobel thought. But today science points in a different direction. A diverse and impressive body of research has increasingly supported the conclusion that the universe was intelligently designed. At the same time, Darwinism has faltered in the face of concrete facts and hard reason. Has science discovered God? At the very least, it's giving faith an immense boost, as new findings emerge about the incredible complexity of our universe. Join Strobel as he reexamines the theories that once led him away from God. Through his compelling and highly readable account, you'll encounter the mind-stretching discoveries from cosmology, cellular biology, DNA research, astronomy, physics, and human consciousness that present compelling evidence in The Case for a Creator. Also available: The Case for a Creator small group video study and study guide, Spanish edition, kids' edition, student edition, and more.
