This is placed into context with reference to developments in North America and Asia. Detailed explanations are given of the road and rail vehicles, the loading units and the transfer equipment used in such operations. In particular, the role of the Channel Tunnel in the development of long-haul combined transport operations between the UK and Europe is considered. * Gain knowledge from a leading industry expert with over 40 years of transport experience * Addresses important topics such as environmental, international, and safety issues in intermodal freight transport * Provides a glossary of termsElectronic reproduction.Amsterdam :Elsevier Science & Technology,2007.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Web browser.Title from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).Access may be restricted to users at subscribing institutionsContainerizationFreight and freightageElectronic books.localOriginal07506593519780750659352(DLC) 2005052754(OCoLC)61463818Referexhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780750659352An electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for informationPublisher descriptionhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0625/2005052754-d.htmlTable of contents onlyhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0625/2005052754-t.html.b1365035x03-03-2224-01-08991003218259707536Intermodal freight transport1213429UNISALENTOle02624-01-08m@ -engne 0004620nam 22007575 450 991015044870332120251113211224.03-319-45318-110.1007/978-3-319-45318-7(CKB)3710000000943208(DE-He213)978-3-319-45318-7(MiAaPQ)EBC4740941(PPN)197139078(EXLCZ)99371000000094320820161110d2016 u| 0engurnn#008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierSimple Mathematical Models of Gene Regulatory Dynamics /by Michael C.

As an entry point to the field, we focus on the analysis of simple gene-network dynamics. The notes commence with an introduction to the deterministic modeling of gene-networks, with extensive reference to applicable results coming from dynamical systems theory. The second part of the notes treats extensively several approaches to the study of gene-network dynamics in the presence of noise—either arising from low numbers of molecules involved, or due to noise external to the regulatory process. The third and final part of the notes gives a detailed treatment of three well studied and concrete examples of gene-network dynamics by considering the lactose operon, the tryptophan operon, and the lysis-lysogeny switch. The notes contain an index for easy location of particular topics as well as an extensive bibliography of the current literature. The target audience of these notes are mainly graduates students and young researchers with a solid mathematical background (calculus, ordinary differential equations, and probability theory at a minimum), as well as with basic notions of biochemistry, cell biology, and molecular biology. They are meant to serve as a readable and brief entry point into a field that is currently highly active, and will allow the reader to grasp the current state of research and so prepare them for defining and tackling new research problems.Lecture Notes on Mathematical Modelling in the Life Sciences,2193-4797Molecular geneticsBiomathematicsBioinformaticsMathematicsDifferential equationsProbabilitiesMolecular GeneticsMathematical and Computational BiologyComputational and Systems BiologyApplications of MathematicsDifferential EquationsProbability TheoryMolecular genetics.Biomathematics.Bioinformatics.Mathematics.Differential equations.Probabilities.Molecular Genetics.Mathematical and Computational Biology.Computational and Systems Biology.Applications of Mathematics.Differential Equations.Probability Theory.511.8Mackey Michael Cauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut60468Santillán Moisésauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autTyran-Kamińska Martaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autZeron Eduardo Sauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910150448703321Simple Mathematical Models of Gene Regulatory Dynamics2093309UNINA
