Sommario/riassunto

This is the first book that describes the role of the Epigenome (cytosine methylation) in the interplay between nature and nurture.  It focuses and stimulates interest in what will be one of the most exciting areas of post-sequencing genome science: the relationship between genetics and the environment.  Written by the most reputable authors in the field, this book is essential reading for researchers interested in the science arising from the human genome sequence and its implications on health care, industry and society.

Sommario/riassunto

"Circulator design has advanced significantly since the first edition of this book was published 25 years ago. The objective of this second edition is to present theory, information, and design procedures that will enable microwave engineers and technicians to design and build circulators successfully. This resource contains a discussion of the various units used in the circulator design computations, as well as covers the theory of operation. This book presents numerous applications, giving microwave engineers new ideas about how to solve



problems using circulators. Design examples are provided, which demonstrate how to apply the information to real-world design tasks."--
