Microbiomes

Current Knowledge and Unanswered Questions

By: Eugene Rosenberg

This book examines an important paradigm shift in biology: Plants and animals, traditionally viewed as individuals, are now considered to be complex systems and host to a plethora of microorganisms. After first presenting historical aspects of microbiota research, bacterial compositions of individual microbiomes and the critical analysis of current methods, the book discusses how microbial communities inside the human body are profoundly affected by numerous factors, such as macro- and micro-nutrients, physical exercise, antibiotics, gender and age. As described by current research, the author highlights how microbiomes contribute to the fitness of the host by providing nutrients, inhibiting pathogens, aiding in the storage of fat during pregnancy, and contributing to development and behavior. The author not only focusses on prokaryotic components in microbiomes, but also addresses single-cell eukaryotes and viruses. This follow-up to the successful book The Hologenome Concept: Human, Animal and Plant Microbiota, published in 2013, provides a contemporary overview of microbiomes. It appeals to anyone working in the life sciences and biomedicine.

Dynamical Systems in Neuroscience

By: Eugene M. Izhikevich

In order to model neuronal behavior or to interpret the results of modeling studies, neuroscientists must call upon methods of nonlinear dynamics. This book offers an introduction to nonlinear dynamical systems theory for researchers and graduate students in neuroscience. It also provides an overview of neuroscience for mathematicians who want to learn the basic facts of electrophysiology. Dynamical Systems in Neuroscience presents a systematic study of the relationship of electrophysiology, nonlinear dynamics, and computational properties of neurons. It emphasizes that information processing in the brain depends not only on the electrophysiological properties of neurons but also on their dynamical properties. The book introduces dynamical systems, starting with one- and two-dimensional Hodgkin-Huxley-type models and continuing to a description of bursting systems. Each chapter proceeds from the simple to the complex, and provides sample problems at the end. The book explains all necessary mathematical concepts using geometrical intuition; it includes many figures and few equations, making it especially suitable for non-mathematicians. Each concept is presented in terms of both neuroscience and mathematics, providing a link between the two disciplines. Nonlinear dynamical systems theory is at the core of computational neuroscience research, but it is not a standard part of the graduate neuroscience curriculum—or taught by math or physics department in a way that is suitable for students of biology. This book offers neuroscience students and researchers a comprehensive account of concepts and methods increasingly used in computational neuroscience. An additional chapter on synchronization, with more advanced material, can be found at the author's website, www.izhikevich.com.

Halide Perovskite Lasers

By: Yong Kang Eugene Tay,Huajun He,Xiangling Tian,Mingjie Li,Tze Chien Sum

This book highlights the rapidly emerging field of solution-processed halide perovskite lasers. These amazing materials not only possess exceptional photovoltaic properties, but are also outstanding optical gain media. Halide perovskites are the latest member of solution-processed optical gain media, joining organics and traditional semiconductor colloidal quantum dots. Amplified spontaneous emission and lasing have been demonstrated in various halide perovskite configurations and nanostructures with wavelengths tunable over the visible and infrared wavelengths (400–1000 nm). This book provides comprehensive information on perovskite lasing, starting with some fundamentals of lasers and their basic operating principles. Unambiguous methods for identifying lasing light emission are presented, while the basic optoelectronic properties of perovskite materials are also discussed, with an emphasis on their photophysics, using ultrafast optical spectroscopy techniques. The viability of perovskites as a gain media within a suitable resonator, as well as the characterization methods for optical gain, are highlighted. The book closes with a discussion on the remaining challenges (such as electrical driven lasing and material stabilities) that need to be tackled, and the future of this new family of lasers.

Eugene From Eugene to Happy Valley

Eugene Lynn Grant's Autobiography

By: Eugene Grant

This book begins with an account of the author's ancestral roots in Norway, Denmark and Great Britain and ends which his retirement in Happy Valley, Oregon, where he served as its Mayor from 1998 to 2006. His ancestors emigrated to America and fought and died in its wars, pioneered newly acquired territories and states, eventually reaching Eugene, Oregon, for which the author was named. His history includes surviving his oftentimes grim childhood in a dysfunctional family beset with serious domestic abuse and mental illness. The author describes his joy of discovering the stories of his ancestors' triumphs and tragedies. Their stories have all the drama of murder, suicide, war, crime, persecution, poverty, addiction, illicit affairs, abandonment, arson, insanity, domestic abuse, and other tragedies but also many triumphs. The sublime and spiritual contrasts with the carnal and depraved. It includes the sad story of the expanding frontier experience of American pioneers displacing native Americans and enslaving Blacks. The heart of this book is the creation of the author's immediate family and struggling to be successful as a prominent Oregon lawyer, local politician, local Mormon religious leader, and most importantly a father and husband. In part this is a religious autobiography. It is like biblical stories, an accounting and evaluation of being in the World but not of the World, an acknowledgement of how he has seen God's hand in the details of his life, the story of his religious conversion and path of discipleship through this veil of tears, seeking salvation. His story, therefore, ends with his evaluation, for the reader's benefit, of his lessons learned. His hope is that these lessons will help the reader appreciate his perspective and hopefully avoid his mistakes not the least of which were his conflicts, especially with political and religious extremists who increasingly bedeviled him during the highly polarized first two decades of the 21st century. This is also his intellectual and political autobiography. His faith was not one of withdrawal from the world into monastic simplicity, but rather one of enthusiastically engaging a complex world by gaining a higher education and using his knowledge and values to help the City of Happy Valley become a thriving and attractive community for likeminded families. It includes the story of how he led Happy in becoming Oregon's fastest growing city. It is also the story of his interaction with the leaders of Clackamas County and all its cities, including both allies and opponents. Lastly, this book includes the story of his legal career. He was fortunate to play a significant role in two leading law firms and his 40-year career helped shape the built environment of the City of Portland, the Metro Region, and the State of Oregon. He worked with many prominent and interesting Oregonians in the process. His legal career was completed by serving for almost two years as a senior legal missionary for his church in the Pacific Area including Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific islands.
