Brenner's Encyclopedia of Genetics


Book Description

The explosion of the field of genetics over the last decade, with the new technologies that have stimulated research, suggests that a new sort of reference work is needed to keep pace with such a fast-moving and interdisciplinary field. Brenner's Encyclopedia of Genetics, Second Edition, Seven Volume Set, builds on the foundation of the first edition by addressing many of the key subfields of genetics that were just in their infancy when the first edition was published. The currency and accessibility of this foundational content will be unrivalled, making this work useful for scientists and non-scientists alike. Featuring relatively short entries on genetics topics written by experts in that topic, Brenner's Encyclopedia of Genetics, Second Edition, Seven Volume Set provides an effective way to quickly learn about any aspect of genetics, from Abortive Transduction to Zygotes. Adding to its utility, the work provides short entries that briefly define key terms, and a guide to additional reading and relevant websites for further study. Many of the entries include figures to explain difficult concepts. Key terms in related areas such as biochemistry, cell, and molecular biology are also included, and there are entries that describe historical figures in genetics, providing insights into their careers and discoveries. This 7-volume set represents a 25% expansion from the first edition, with over 1600 articles encompassing this burgeoning field Thoroughly up-to-date, with many new topics and subfields covered that were in their infancy or not inexistence at the time of the first edition. Timely coverage of emergent areas such as epigenetics, personalized genomic medicine, pharmacogenetics, and genetic enhancement technologies Interdisciplinary and global in its outlook, as befits the field of genetics Brief articles, written by experts in the field, which not only discuss, define, and explain key elements of the field, but also provide definition of key terms, suggestions for further reading, and biographical sketches of the key people in the history of genetics

RIGHT OF SAPIENS


Book Description

...Causes and Spaces and Temporalities and Viral Pathologies, extremely difficult for man, for the human being, for humanity in general, for Sapiento-Humanity in all its feelings and expressions, all pathologized by pandemics, by ruins in industries and economies, of immense political and social and military and moral chaos, of climatic and natural social and cultural convulsions, of ethical collapses into injustices and hyper-injustices, of financial collapses, of overwhelms of irrationality and over-irrationality, of avalanches of unnaturalness and tsunamis of immorality, which day by day, täglich und stündlich accentuates the sinking and collapsing negations in Kali Yuga of the multiplied and multimedia evils that have flooded the blue planet lately... ...In this historical hour of disasters accumulated and cumulated and amplified and accelerated for decades and decades, especially after the Second World War, World War Two, WWII (20th Century, Period 1945-2021), in these critical moments of planetary destiny, ErdeSternStunde, in these moments of great questioning of the species Sapiens, Erhebliche Fragezeichen der Menschheit, I try, by my own powers, obviously modest, Selbstverständlich-bescheidendekräfte, to revalue, Umwertung aller Werte, through the triad INFORMATION - INSPIRATION - INTUITION (symbolized in the 3IN triad), with the hope of a retreat or revitalization, even partial, to the overwhelming and threatening realities of the present, from this beginning of the Third Decade of the First Millennium, 2021, the Third Decade, of the First Century of the Third Millennium, 2021… Our Mediology, our Multimedia and MultiMediology, is in its essence a philosophy of the triad INFORMATION - INSPIRATION - INTUITION, so a triad of 3IN, through which any information in the sphere of Human Sapient, becomes both creative and developing inspiration, and distributing intuition, realizing the REVELATION OF SAPIENS, therefore, always relating and correlating to the Great Reality of Species or the Great Reality of Sapiens, revealing it, and self-revealing it, therefore all 3IN being correlated to the Big Reality of Species Sapiens, by revitalizing it, by setting its ontological quantum within the big forces of the Universe oneself, through a triad of SELFNESS, as self-organization, as self-regulation, as self-replication... The philosophy of our Mediology (or MultiMediology), which becomes a kind of galleon book of the catastrophic present in Human Sapient, so MultiMediology of Human Sapient will do everything in correlating Cosmology – Biology and Ontology within the sameness of Species, by revealing it by self – revealing it, as a revelation of biology and intelligibility, of matter and light, of spirit and sensations, Geist und Sinnlichkeit... Please, don’t be scared, I’m not a pessimist or an extra-pessimist, I’m not a desastrionist, or a disastrologist, or a sinistrologist or a catastrophologist, or an apocalyptologist or an armageddonologist, because I’m a realist, a moderate optimist, and I think, just a deep rationalist, but what is happening in the world, in man, in human, in Human Sapient, in these first decades of Millennium Three, MNIII, exceed all the limits of normal, rational and balances of morality, all the limitations of common sense and good human conduct or Human Sapient conduct and behavior... ...We are as an individual and a community, clearly entering the world of evil and darkness, the world of dramatic surrealism, reflected by the Hindu theological concept KALI-YUGA, the world of generalized, viral and moral diseases (Covid is the pandemic of immoral human, a pathology of human in all directions, and, the possible sign of a divine revelation), in the world of bacterial and pathogenic diseases etiological, globalized and generalized of Covido-Human, which is the symmetry of ontogenic and psychogenic diseases, from this human reflected in its maximum Human Sapient, naming here man as the over-exploiter and over-exhauster of all planetary sources and resources, namely them fuel, water, air, soil, subsoil, atmosphere, lithosphere and ionosphere, natural fuel fire extinguisher, natural resources, by reaching to the limit of his own self-extinction, of self-flagellating in vulnerabilities, fragility and co-morbidities, all in endlessly collapsing, at loggerheads of Human with oneself... Human Sapient is hitting by its own himself / herself, Human Sapient is self-suffocating and self-disorganizing, developing a severe pathologizing correspondent of the Entropic Being, EntropicsBeing / EntropischeDasein, becoming now, by far, its own first enemy, Homo homini lupus est... The Human, the Sapient-into-Human, is devouring himself/ herself, as in the tragedies of the ancient worlds, exemplified through Ouroburos Sapientic that bites itself in times and spaces, that develops and expands, both in digitization and virtualization, and in its own DeSapientization... ...We have clearly entered into the battles of the Species, the battles of Sapiens, the Moiria / Fatum destiny of Sapiens, in which the human, the Sapiento-homospheres are fighting, are conflicting with the geological lithospheres, with the biological hydrosphere, with the accompanying and orbiting atmospheres and cosmospheres, but with all, in extreme sharpening against themselves. The human being fights primarily with the Sapiento-Human homosphere, so a struggle of the Sapiens within oneself, which also has heights (few, very few), but especially falls, falls and falls, a cascade of viral wars, of military wars, of migratory wars - pathologies all associated with hurricanes of water and fire and terrorism, with earthquakes and volcanoes, with tornadoes and flashes of anger and cosmological, geological, climatological and biological rages, with human catastrophe, by having in this catastrophic center, the Human Sapient, as trigger, as accelerator and amplifier of biological and ontological self-extinction and, threatening the entire biotope and biorhythm of the planet, but essentially threatening itself, becoming the pathological center Corona of the mutant through Delta-variants and the Omicron super-mutant, numbered by the fateful number 8.1.1.529... Oh! You know! It seems that you have appeared on the stage of the planetary world through yourself, synergizing creation and evolution alike, in these CREVO huge complexities, and possibly disappearing from the stage of the cosmo-planetary world, also through yourself, through your self-extinct dramatic destiny!... God! How you came, that’s how you go!... Right of Sapiens

CONSTITUTION OF SAPIENS - ONE


Book Description

…One can make a jump or a leap forward from the CONSTITUTION OF EUROPE, written by the author in the year of 2007, through CONSTITUTION OF EUROPEAN UNION, written by the same author 12 years later, towards a CONSTITUTION OF SAPIENS, our presentness hardworking? …For sure, it is our duty and right of our MODERN SAPIENS, reflecting and comprising the Species Sapiens as a whole, at least in its last ca. about 50.000 years, by coming from PREMODERN SAPIENS (between ca. 200.000 – 50.000 years) and ARCHAIC SAPIENS (between ca. about 500.000 – 200.000 years)! …Therefore, our answer is affirmative, in sensing that the present level of creativity of human through the AERA–1 of Philosophical Systems, can outreach a such task, overcoming all previous achievements into this area of human creativity (for sure in domain of Sapiens’ Constitution!) … …More than that, our twelve years of experience in fighting through Constitution of Europe, despite of some singular boasting, was not perceived at its real worthiness… …Could one explain a CONSTITUTION OF SAPIENS all chains – Big Chain of Unknowns – through the universe of 10 to power 18 seconds… …One Universe (in many ways, beyond of our comprehension), One Constellation (Virgo, beyond of our reaching), One Galaxy (Milky Way, beyond of direct human exploration), One Solar System (Sun System, in the beginning of human exploration), One Planetary System (Earth system, the best explored), One Genus (Homo Anthropos), One Species (Species Sapiens), a togetherness of ANTHROPOSAPIENS, and all, have been analyzed, reanalyzed, structured and restructured, systematize and re-systematize through our One and Unity of Philosophical Systems (Aera of Philosophical Systems)… It is our Sapiens, it is our Species, in its core of Humanness, Oneness multiplied through Temporal-Spatiality and Causality of the Universe?… …Therefore, let’s structure and analyze through the mindful eyes of Sapiens as Species, actually, a Standard Model of Sapiens, by reassessing the whole of cosmology through a philosophical system (a maximal generality thought and written by a Sapiens), the whole of our planetary biology through a philosophical system (also, a maximal generality thought and written by a Sapiens) and the whole of human ontology through a philosophical system (for sure, a maximal generality thought and written by a Sapiens, i.e., Sapiens through… Sapiens!)… Finally, we do need a Constitution worthy of our Sapiens… Sapiens! The whole of AERA OF PHILOSOPHICAL SYSTEMS is at your disposal! Sapiens! Show to the whole cosmos, to the whole biology and to the whole ontology that you are! Sapiens! Show to them, but primarily to yourself, who you were, who you are and who you will be! Sapiens! Put yourself in front of your achievements and of your fragilities, in front of your creativity without to forget and to forgive your power of destructivity, as a FRONTMANSAPIENS, for you and for all, asking always, not only what is the man itself, but what is the Species (Sapiens) for itself, with itself and through itself… Sapiens!

CONSTITUTION OF SAPIENTOSOLARLAND - ONE


Book Description

…We are under big pressure in rethinking and um-thinking of the whole of the Species Sapiens history, of the Solar System history and historiology (the rational logos of history extended in cosmology), and of whole outer-space of cosmology as SAPIENTO-COSMOLOGY!… …We are very determined to make and remake a new analyses and synthesis of the man through its human hierarchy, and of human through its SAPIENTO-HUMAN integration! …We will remake another configuration of the initial CONSTITUTION OF EUROPE, of the CONSTITUTION OF EUROPEAN UNION and of CONSTITUTION OF SAPIENS, through this CONSTITUTION OF SAPIENTO-SOLAR-LAND! All of these are written and published within about 6 months of the pandemic year of 2020, resembling a parallel dialectical becoming between a finisher and a re-finisher in constitution or between an influencer and re-influencer in cosmologic, geologic, biologic and ontologic philosophy and sciences, seen as PHYLOSCIENCE, i.e., the one as lover of science… Terminology of different constitutions will be different in their substance and their semantics, reflecting the difference in temporality and creativity of the author, but the basic principles of ethics and morality are into all constitutions, the same and into the sameness… If our Solar System needs a constitution, then, Species Sapiens must know the history of oneself, must know the inhabitants, the native, the people and citizens of Earth System seen as Planetary System, the science and technology of the Earth as a whole, the art and religions of Earth, the geography and demography of Earth, since the oldest times of Upper Paleolithic, of Neolithic, of Chalcolithic, of Antiquity, of Middle Age, of Renaissance, of Enlightenment, of Modern Times and of the present Third Millennium, all in detail, all into their deepest realities, all in clear morality and legality, all in their infrastructure of technology and rationality… More than that, our CONSTITUTION OF SAPIENTOSOLARLAND, is desired to be and to become, a pilot project in searching and researching in anthropo-sapientology, a vector of axiological and epistemological substance in knowledge and discoveries, in overcoming of ourselves through inventive and creativity… …Therefore, the Constitution of the SAPIENTOSOLARLAND – SSL, is a Constitution of our Cosmos, a Cosmological Constitution, done by an individual of the Species Sapiens, dreaming that one day, inhabitants of the Earth Planetary system, will be able of humanize the Solar Land, will be able to become inhabitants of the Solar Land, will be able of becoming travelers and pilgrimages of the Solar Land, by studying, by working and by creating cultures and civilizations within the Solar Land, and finally, by re-baptizing the whole of Solar Land as SAPIENTOSOLARLAND… CONSTITUTIONALIST OF SAPIENTOSOLARLAND
