"La Luna es un satâelite natural (y mejor amiga) de la Tierra. Pasa su tiempo girando alrededor de la Tierra y sobre sâi misma. La Luna no habrâia completado este libro sin el generoso apoyo de Stacy McAnulty con sus palabras, de Stevie Lewis con su arte y del Sol con su fuerza de la gravedad. La Luna es la estrella de nanas, canciones, relatos y leyendas, pero âeste es el primer libro que ha escrito para niänos. Aprende curiosidades que sabâias (y que desconocâias) sobre la Luna, la mejor amiga de la Tierra de una forma entretenida, divertida y muy visual."--

It's inside every living plant and animal, from the tiniest seed to the person standing next to you, but how much do you know about DNA?From why we have different coloured eyes to why we age, this book gives children an in-depth look at DNA and its role in all living things. Discover what DNA is, what it does, and how it shapes our lives, including inheritance and why we look like our parents; forensic science and how DNA evidence helps catch criminals; and how genetic engineering could theoretically bring dinosaurs back to life. With fun illustrated characters, clear diagrams, and fascinating photographs, children will love learning about themselves and this all-important molecule. The DNA Book is packed with colourful illustrations and mind-boggling facts, a great addition to any STEAM library. Perfect for curious young minds, this is an ideal introduction to the amazing science of genetics, and what makes you you.

The Cambridge IGCSE® & O Level Complete Chemistry Workbook, part of the rigorous and trusted Complete Science series, supports independent practice both inside and outside the classroom to strengthen students' exam potential.

Highlights emerging techniques and molecular applications and approaches to address plant abiotic stress, including proteomic approaches, genome editing applications, and system biology approaches. It provides an overview of omics approaches in response to stressors factors at the cellular and molecular levels.

This new volume presents informative research on the different aspects of employing nanotechnology for environmental pollution decontamination, highlighting the main tools, methods, and approaches for contaminants detection and remediation.The book takes a biotechnological point of view that considers the main environmental pollutants; the safety and economic aspects of nanoremediation, nanosensors and nanobiosensors for the detection of pollutants; and strategies to promote nanoremediation and nanobioremediation. The chapters offer a comprehensive overview of nanotechnologic strategies as essential tools to restore polluted environments and to make more feasible and harmonic the pathway to sustainable development. The volume also discusses the use of sensors to detect pollutants and to monitor the quality of environmental restoration.Topics include nanozymes; organic and inorganic pollutants threatening human health; different types of carbon-based and non-carbon-based nanomaterials in nanosensors and nanobiosensors to detect environmental pollution; nanomaterials that specifically deal with water, soil, or air pollution; and assisted nanoremediation promoted by plants (nanophytoremediation) or microorganisms (for example, mycorrhizal fungus) that promote in situ nano-phyto-mycorrhizo-remediation. Also addressed are aspects related to a macroperspective of nanoremediation that highlight the economic aspects related to nanotechnology, the safety aspects of the use of nanomaterials, and the sustainability aspects related to the use of nanomaterials in strategies of environmental restoration.Nanotechnology for Environmental Pollution Decontamination: Tools, Methods, and Approaches for Detection and Remediation offers extensive and comprehensive knowledge on nanotechnology applied to pollution detection and remediation, assisted or not by biological strategies.

This new volume explores how the merging of interactive multimedia with artificial intelligence has created new and advanced tools in healthcare. It looks at how the latest technologies (artificial intelligence, deep learning, machine learning, big data, IoT, smart device, etc.) help to manage health data, diagnose health issues, monitor treatment, predict pandemic diseases, and more.The book covers several important applications of multimedia in healthcare, including for data visualization purposes, for computer vision for elder healthcare monitoring, for detection of lung nodules, for management systems using machine learning techniques, and for fusion applications in medical image processing. The chapter authors discuss using data mining and machine learning techniques for COVID-19 diagnosis and prediction, in detecting knee osteoarthritis using texture descriptor algorithms, in applying algorithms in fetal ECG enhancement using blockchain for wearable internet of things in healthcare, and more. A chapter also reviews how doctors can make good use of genomics and genetic data through advanced technology. The book concludes with discussions of open issues, challenges, and future research directions for using intelligent interactive multimedia in healthcare.Key features:Provides an in-depth understanding of emerging technologies and integration of artificial intelligence, deep learning, big data, IoT in healthcareDetails specific applications for the use of AI, big data, and IoT in healthcareDiscusses how AI technology can help in formulating protective measures for COVID-19 and other diseasesIncludes case studiesIntelligent Interactive Multimedia Systems for e-Healthcare Applications will be valuable to undergraduate and graduate students planning their careers in either industry or research and to software engineers for using multimedia with artificial intelligence, deep learning, big data, and IoT for healthcare applications.
