Specific Interaction and Biological Recognition Processes

By: Zeno Simon,Nicolae Voiculetz,Ioan Motoc

Specific Interaction and Biological Recognition Processes is devoted to two major aspects of biological processes: specificity in biological recognition and the recognition processes themselves. Topics covered in specificity include the theoretical basis for specificity in biological recognition; the thermodynamic and chemical equilibrium background; and consideration of the relationship between size of combining sites and specificity. The use of semi-emperical potentials for calculating interaction energies and the potential of quantum chemistry methods for calculating receptor-effector affinities are also discussed. The various recognition processes described include DNA replication, transcription, translation, enzymatic reactions, transmembrane transport processes, mechanisms of action of hormones and other chemical messengers, and self-nonself recognition in immunology. Specific Interaction and Biological Recognition Processes will be a useful reference for molecular biologists, biochemists, enzymologists, immunologists oncologists, pharmaceutical researchers, and others interested in the topic.

Modeling of Cancer Genesis and Prevention

By: Nicolae Voiculetz,Alexandru T Balaban,Ion Niculescu-Duvaz,Zeno Simon

This book presents a comprehensive review of the interaction between cancer research and mathematical methods for both investigators in the field and newcomers just entering it. The book's primary focus is on the use of computer-assisted mathematical modeling in carcinogenesis and cancer prevention. The first two chapters include a general presentation of the carcinogenesis and anticarcinogenesis molecular mechanisms, followed by a discussion of mathematical models of triggers for gene regulation. A description of the prediction of both carcinogenicity and mutagenicity using quantum mechanical, topological or physico-chemical indices is presented, as well as a discussion of the QSAR analysis of carcinogenesis-inhibiting compounds (known as blocking or suppressive agents).

Precarious Figurations

Shylock on the German Stage, 1920–2010

By: Zeno Ackermann,Sabine Schülting

Precarious Figurations focuses on the reception of Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice in twentieth- and twenty-first-century Germany. Looking at theatrical practices and critical or scholarly discourses from the Weimar Republic to the new millennium, the book explores why the play has served simultaneously as a vehicle for the actualization of anti-Semitic tropes and as a staging ground for the critical exposure of the very logic of anti-Semitism. In particular, the study investigates how the figure of Shylock has come to be both a device in and a stumbling block for attempts to bridge the fundamental rupture in civilization brought about by the Holocaust. The careful analysis of the German reception of Merchant, and in particular of the ways of doing and reading Shylock in the context of painful German, and German-Jewish, discourses of identity and remembrance, is designed to raise fundamental questions – questions concerning not only the staging of Jewishness, the tenacity of anti-Semitism and the difficulties of Holocaust remembrance, but also the general potentials and limitations of theatrical interventions into cultural conflicts.

The Empire of Chance

How Probability Changed Science and Everyday Life

By: Gerd Gigerenzer,Zeno Swijtink,Theodore Porter,Lorraine Daston,John Beatty,Lorenz Kruger

The Empire of Chance tells how quantitative ideas of chance transformed the natural and social sciences, as well as daily life over the last three centuries. A continuous narrative connects the earliest application of probability and statistics in gambling and insurance to the most recent forays into law, medicine, polling and baseball. Separate chapters explore the theoretical and methodological impact in biology, physics and psychology. Themes recur - determinism, inference, causality, free will, evidence, the shifting meaning of probability - but in dramatically different disciplinary and historical contexts. In contrast to the literature on the mathematical development of probability and statistics, this book centres on how these technical innovations remade our conceptions of nature, mind and society. Written by an interdisciplinary team of historians and philosophers, this readable, lucid account keeps technical material to an absolute minimum. It is aimed not only at specialists in the history and philosophy of science, but also at the general reader and scholars in other disciplines.

American Grand Strategy from Obama to Trump

Imperialism After Bush and China's Hegemonic Challenge

By: Zeno Leoni

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

American Grand Strategy from Obama to Trump

Imperialism After Bush and China's Hegemonic Challenge

By: Zeno Leoni

This book maintains that the theory of imperialism should incorporate the concept of an “operational code” of political elites to account for agencies’ actions. This concept would explain the strategic continuity and tactical change in US grand strategy from Obama to Trump. While both presidents pursued a strategy of off-shore balancing, their competing worldviews led to tangible differences in the way they sought to restore American power after Bush and to contain the rise of China. This book offers an important contribution after the departure of Bush concluded the 21st century debate on imperialism, at a time when an increasingly post-American world order has undermined the “end of the state” thesis. Indeed, over the last twelve years US grand strategy has emphasized inter-state competition rather than the annihilation of rogue regimes. These events require renewed efforts for the theory of imperialism to contribute to Globalisation Theory at this crucial historical junction.

Terrains of Consciousness

Multilogical Perspectives on Globalization

By: Zeno Ackermann,Isabel Karremann,Simi Malhotra,Nishat Zaidi

TERRAINS OF CONSCIOUSNESS emerges from an Indian-German-Swiss research collaboration. The book makes a case for a phenomenology of globalization that pays attention to locally situated socioeconomic terrains, everyday practices, and cultures of knowledge. This is exemplified in relation to three topics: - the tension between 'terrain' and 'territory' in Defoe's 'Robinson Crusoe' as a pioneering work of the globalist mentality (chapter 1) - the relationship between established conceptions of feminism and the concrete struggles of women in India since the 19th century (chapter 2) - the exploration of urban space and urban life in writings on India's capital - from Ahmed Ali to Arundhati Roy (chapter 3).

Ecclesiastical Knights

The Military Orders in Castile, 1150-1330

By: Sam Zeno Conedera

“Warrior monks”—the misnomer for the Iberian military orders that emerged on the frontiers of Europe in the twelfth century—have long fascinated general readers and professional historians alike. Proposing “ecclesiastical knights” as a more accurate name and conceptual model—warriors animated by ideals and spiritual currents endorsed by the church hierarchy—author Sam Zeno Conedera presents a groundbreaking study of how these orders brought the seemingly incongruous combination of monastic devotion and the practice of warfare into a single way of life. Providing a detailed study of the military-religious vocation as it was lived out in the Orders of Santiago, Calatrava, and Alcantara in Leon-Castile during the first century, Ecclesiastical Knights provides a valuable window into medieval Iberia. Filling a gap in the historiography of the medieval military orders, Conedera defines, categorizes, and explains these orders, from their foundations until their spiritual decline in the early fourteenth century, arguing that that the best way to understand their spirituality is as a particular kind of consecrated knighthood. Because these Iberian military orders were belligerents in the Reconquest, Ecclesiastical Knights informs important discussions about the relations between Western Christianity and Islam in the Middle Ages. Conedera examines how the military orders fit into the religious landscape of medieval Europe through the prism of knighthood, and how their unique conceptual character informed the orders and spiritual self-perception. The religious observances of all three orders were remarkably alike, except that the Cistercian-affiliated orders were more demanding and their members could not marry. Santiago, Calatrava, and Alcantara shared the same essential mission and purpose: the defense and expansion of Christendom understood as an act of charity, expressed primarily through fighting and secondarily through the care of the sick and the ransoming of captives. Their prayers were simple and their penances were aimed at knightly vices and the preservation of military discipline. Above all, the orders valued obedience. They never drank from the deep wellsprings of monasticism, nor were they ever meant to. Offering an entirely fresh perspective on two difficult and closely related problems concerning the military orders—namely, definition and spirituality—author Sam Zeno Conedera illuminates the religious life of the orders, previously eclipsed by their military activities.

Data protection in the context of covid-19. A short (hi)story of tracing applications

By: Elise Poillot,Gabriele Lenzini,Giorgio Resta,Vincenzo Zeno-Zencovich

The volume presents the results of a research project (named “Legafight”) funded by the Luxembourg Fond National de la Recherche in order to verify if and how digital tracing applications could be implemented in the Grand-Duchy in order to counter and abate the Covid-19 pandemic. This inevitably brought to a deep comparative overview of the various existing various models, starting from that of the European Union and those put into practice by Belgium, France, Germany and Italy, with attention also to some Anglo-Saxon approaches (the UK and Australia). Not surprisingly the main issue which had to be tackled was that of the protection of the personal data collected through the tracing applications, their use by public health authorities and the trust laid in tracing procedures by citizens. Over the last 18 months tracing apps have registered a rise, a fall, and a sudden rebirth as mediums devoted not so much to collect data, but rather to distribute real time information which should allow informed decisions and be used as repositories of health certifications.

14 Habits of Highly Productive Developers

By: Zeno Rocha

Why This Book? You can learn the most popular frameworks, use the best programming languages, and work at the biggest tech companies, but if you cultivate bad habits, it will be hard for you to become a top developer. This book doesn't offer a straight path or pre-defined formula of success. This book is a result of a quest. A quest to uncover what habits can be cultivated to become a better software engineer. “I wish I had access to this book while I was starting in the software industry. The information presented is not only logical, not only personal, but very well backed up by many expert opinions throughout the book. A must-read, for both beginners and experts alike.” - Zachary Sohovich, Software Engineer at Nike What Will You Read? * How to keep up with all the new technologies * What should you focus? Being a specialist or generalist? * How to stay productive and not feel overwhelmed * The importance of estimating tasks correctly * How to approach new side project ideas * And much more Who Should Read This Book? It doesn't matter if you're a Junior or Senior developer. It doesn't matter how experienced you are. This book can help you cultivate new habits or rethink existing behaviors. What's Inside? This is not a traditional book. You won't find the same format or structure that a regular book has. In fact, this book was designed to be as simple and objective as possible. You can follow the order of chapters, or you can read them individually. Everything is standalone and doesn't depend on previous knowledge. At the end of each chapter, you'll find a section marked as "Questions & Answers", where I interview senior developers and tech leads from various companies to understand how they got there. I went after tech giants such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Adobe. Powerful startups such as GitHub, Spotify, Elastic, Segment, GoDaddy, and Shopify. All the way to established organizations such as Citibank, BlackBerry, and The New York Times. These people come from all over the world and have a pretty diverse background. From San Francisco to New York. From São Paulo to Montreal. From London to Stockholm. The idea is to present you not a one man's point of view, but a collection of insights on how to navigate your career. Who's The Author? Zeno Rocha is a Brazilian creator and programmer. He currently lives in San Francisco, California, where he's the Founder & CEO at Resend. His lifelong appreciation for building software and sharing knowledge led him to speak in over 110 conferences worldwide. His passion for open source put him on the top 20 most active users on GitHub at age 22. Before moving to the US, Zeno developed multiple applications, mentored startups, and worked at major companies in Latin America, such as Globo and Petrobras.
