Life Science
by Patricia A. Watkins Glenn K. Leto Tommy Elmer WynnLife science involves the study of living things. In the rain forest of Central America, a life scientist is collecting plants. She and other scientists want to learn as much as possible about different living things in the rain forests. Just fifty years ago, almost one tenth of the earth's land was covered by rain forests. Today, only half of these forests remain. Scientists want to study the plants and animals in the forests before they disappear along with the trees of the forests.

Life Science (3rd Edition): Volume A
by Brad R. Batdorf Thomas E. PorchLIFE SCIENCE, 3rd ed., is a middle-school textbook written by people who believe the Bible is the Word of God. Those who do not believe that the Bible is true will find many points in this book puzzling. As we begin this course, let us define what the course is. Science can be defined as man's observations of the world God created and man's use of those observations to make decisions. Life science is observations and decisions about living things. In a life science course, you should learn about the observations other people have made of living things. You should also develop the skills necessary to make good observations on your own. Finally, in a Christian life science course, you should learn what God has said about life and living things. You should learn the principles He has given to direct our decision making about living things. God has given us senses that enable us to explore our world and minds to analyze our observations. Over the centuries, scientists have developed an organized process for making decisions about the world. This scientific method is a powerful and valuable tool, but like all tools it is hindered by human limitations and shortcomings.

Life Science and Religions
by Kieran BurnsAn investigation of life science and world religions, and how the two intersect. In Life Science and Religions, Kieran Burns uses Christianity&’s story of the fall of Adam and Eve and the curse of painful childbirth as a starting point to explore the relationship between religion and life science. Over the course of this study, Burns covers Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Taoism. He discusses topics such as evolution, human suffering, and the notions of healing and perfection. He even looks at what science has to say about spiritual apparitions like Our Lady of Zeitoun, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and Our Lady of Lourdes. This thought-provoking study is sure to interest both students and armchair scholars.
The Life, Science and Times of Lev Vasilevich Shubnikov: Pioneer Of Soviet Cryogenics (Springer Biographies)
by L. J. ReindersThis book describes the life, times and science of the Soviet physicist Lev Vasilevich Shubnikov (1901-1937). From 1926 to 1930 Shubnikov worked in Leiden where he was the co-discoverer of the Shubnikov-De Haas effect. After his return to the Soviet Union he founded in Kharkov in Ukraine the first low-temperature laboratory in the Soviet Union, which in a very short time became the foremost physics institute in the country and among other things led to the discovery of type-II superconductivity. In August 1937 Shubnikov, together with many of his colleagues, was arrested and shot early in November 1937. This gripping story gives deep insights into the pioneering work of Soviet physicists before the Second World War, as well as providing much previously unpublished information about their brutal treatment at the hands of the Stalinist regime.

Life Sciences Industry: From Laboratories to Commercialization of Research (New Paradigms of Living Systems #2)
by Basanta Kumara Bahera Ram Prasad Shyambhavee BeheraBasic principles of applied life sciences such as recombinant DNA technology is used in most life sciences industries marketing bio-formulations for designing more effective protein-based drugs, such as erythropoietin and fast-acting insulin etc. In recent times genetically engineered host cells from mammal, animal and plants are also being used in life sciences industries to manufacture biologics. This book discusses the most basic as well advanced issues on biological products for successfully managing a life sciences industry. It elucidates the life cycle of biological molecules, right from the conceptual development of different types of biopolymers, and their subsequent transfer from the conical flasks in laboratory to life sciences industries for large scale production and marketing. It focuses on sustainable longevity in the life cycle of commercial biopolymers. Cumulative facts and figures in this volume would immensely help in inspiring life sciences industry promoters to monitor value chain transfer process of biologics for better profitability. Additionally, it would serve as a perusal document for the students and researchers interested in entrepreneurial ventures or having their own start-up projects for the commercialization of biologics.
Life Sciences Research and Scientific Writing
by Benno ter KuileScientific writing is a trade that can and must be learned and not a form of art that is limited to the talented. The real constraint for writing a good scientific article is most of the time not the usage of the English language, but the conversion of outcomes of a set of experiments into a coherent and convincing scientific story. This book is designed to guide junior scientists in the Life Sciences writing their thesis and first manuscripts, along this uphill struggle. All aspects of building up and publishing a forceful scientific narrative are covered, from designing experiments to dealing with the reviewers’ comments. This book takes you step by step through the process of writing a paper. It starts by discussing how to collect and organize data and make an outline. The actual writing starts with the Results section, as this is the heart of any research paper. The Discussion interprets your data in the framework of the existing literature and explains the novel insights you obtained. The Introduction is written to pose the questions that are answered in the Discussion and give the necessary background information. It is written after the Results and Discussion to make sure it is a perfect match. The M&M is the easiest to write. A good abstract is essential for attracting readers. How to write that is described in detail. The title is the last piece of the puzzle. The book contains many practical examples that explain the general principles of good writing. These examples are all from the Life Sciences and so are the anecdotes that illustrate the concepts, making the information directly applicable. All kinds of tips and suggestions are provided for improving readability and accessibility of your manuscript, thus making it easier acceptable. In addition, background information on the basics of science is supplied that helps to avoid common mistakes that cause rejection of manuscripts that report on otherwise good science.
Life Sciences Research to Product Development: Regulatory Requirement Transforming, Volume 1
by Pronobesh Chattopadhyay Danswrang GoyaryThe present volume, Life Sciences Research to Product Development: Regulatory Requirement Transforming, Volume 1, discusses the procedures of drug approval and regulatory requirements that must be met according to the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA), the European Medical Agency (EMA), and the Central Drug Standard Control Organization (CDSCO). Many researchers either abandon their work in the middle of the process or find it difficult to follow the rules. Therefore, it is not surprising that any biological researcher associated with drug development should have a thorough understanding of regulatory requirements. This volume incorporates all the requisite regulatory norms and provides the latest information on the mandated regulation of herbal medicines.The book covers other obligatory regulatory requirements such as: The legal method and practice of herbal drug products, the roles of Ayurvedic medicines, and the process to obtain regulatory approval. Drug molecules not included in Department of Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and homeopathy (AYUSH) but referred to as phytopharmaceuticals are also considered new drugs. The boundary line between food and herbal pharmaceuticals is discussed, as well as pre-clinical toxicity testing, clinical trials, and stability studies in accordance with the rules. The chapter on regulatory implications for the approval process in this book will be the most useful resource for researchers and students, particularly those with backgrounds in pharma, forensic medicine, or regulatory affairs, or those who aspire to succeed in drug research. Additionally, the information contained in this volume of the book could be of great interest to researchers working in the herbal drug industry.
