From Computing to Computational Thinking

From Computing to Computational Thinking

Computational Thinking (CT) involves fundamental concepts and reasoning distilled from computer science and other computational sciences which become powerful general mental tools for solving problems increasing efficiency reducing complexity designing procedures or interacting with humans and machines. An easy-to-understand guidebook From Computing to Computational Thinking gives you the tools for understanding and using CT. It does not assume experience or knowledge of programming or of a programming language but explains concepts and methods for CT with clarity and depth. Successful applications in diverse disciplines have shown the power of CT in problem solving. The book uses puzzles games and everyday examples as starting points for discussion and for connecting abstract thinking patterns to real-life situations. It provides an interesting and thought-provoking way to gain general knowledge about modern computing and the concepts and thinking processes underlying modern digital technologies.

DNA Nanoscience From Prebiotic Origins to Emerging Nanotechnology

DNA Nanoscience From Prebiotic Origins to Emerging Nanotechnology

DNA Nanoscience: From Prebiotic Origins to Emerging Nanotechnology melds two tales of DNA. One is a look at the first 35 years of DNA nanotechnology to better appreciate what lies ahead in this emerging field. The other story looks back 4 billion years to the possible origins of DNA which are shrouded in mystery. The book is divided into three parts comprised of 15 chapters and two Brief Interludes. Part I includes subjects underpinning the book such as a primer on DNA the broader discipline of nanoscience and experimental tools used by the principals in the narrative. Part II examines the field of structural DNA nanotechnology founded by biochemist/crystallographer Nadrian Seeman that uses DNA as a construction material for nanoscale structures and devices rather than as a genetic material. Part III looks at the work of physicists Noel Clark and Tommaso Bellini who found that short DNA (nanoDNA) forms liquid crystals that act as a structural gatekeeper orchestrating a series of self-assembly processes using nanoDNA. This led to an explanation of the polymeric structure of DNA and of how life may have emerged from the prebiotic clutter. | DNA Nanoscience From Prebiotic Origins to Emerging Nanotechnology

The development and application of low-dimensional semiconductors have been rapid and spectacular during the past decade. Ever improving epitaxial growth and device fabrication techniques have allowed access to some remarkable new physics in quantum confined structures while a plethora of new devices has emerged. The field of optoelectronics in particular has benefited from these advances both in terms of improved performance and the invention of fundamentally new types of device at a time when the use of optics and lasers in telecommunications broadcasting the Internet signal processing and computing has been rapidly expanding. An appreciation of the physics of quantum and dynamic electronic processes in confined structures is key to the understanding of many of the latest devices and their continued development. Semiconductor Quantum Optoelectronics covers new physics and the latest device developments in low-dimensional semiconductors. It allows those who already have some familiarity with semiconductor physics and devices to broaden and expand their knowledge into new and expanding topics in low-dimensional semiconductors. The book provides pedagogical coverage of selected areas of new and pertinent physics of low-dimensional structures and presents some optoelectronic devices presently under development. Coverage includes material and band structure issues and the physics of ultrafast nonlinear coherent intersubband and intracavity phenomena. The book emphasizes various devices including quantum wells visible quantum cascade and mode-locked lasers; microcavity LEDs and VCSELs; and detectors and logic elements. An underlying theme is high-speed phenomena and devices for increased system bandwidths. | Semiconductor Quantum Optoelectronics From Quantum Physics to Smart Devices

Fundamentals of Systems Biology From Synthetic Circuits to Whole-cell Models

Fundamentals of Systems Biology From Synthetic Circuits to Whole-cell Models

For decades biology has focused on decoding cellular processes one gene at a time but many of the most pressing biological questions as well as diseases such as cancer and heart disease are related to complex systems involving the interaction of hundreds or even thousands of gene products and other factors. How do we begin to understand this complexity? Fundamentals of Systems Biology: From Synthetic Circuits to Whole-cell Models introduces students to methods they can use to tackle complex systems head-on carefully walking them through studies that comprise the foundation and frontier of systems biology. The first section of the book focuses on bringing students quickly up to speed with a variety of modeling methods in the context of a synthetic biological circuit. This innovative approach builds intuition about the strengths and weaknesses of each method and becomes critical in the book‘s second half where much more complicated network models are addressed including transcriptional signaling metabolic and even integrated multi-network models. The approach makes the work much more accessible to novices (undergraduates medical students and biologists new to mathematical modeling) while still having much to offer experienced modelers-whether their interests are microbes organs whole organisms diseases synthetic biology or just about any field that investigates living systems. | Fundamentals of Systems Biology From Synthetic Circuits to Whole-cell Models

The Routledge Companion to Architectural Drawings and Models From Translating to Archiving Collecting and Displaying

The Routledge Companion to Architectural Drawings and Models From Translating to Archiving Collecting and Displaying

Architectural drawings and models are instruments of imagination communication and historical continuity. The role of drawings and models and their ownership placement and authorship in a ubiquitous digital age deserve careful consideration. Expanding on the well-established discussion of the translation from drawings to buildings this book fills a lacuna in current scholarship questioning the significance of the lives of drawings and models after construction. Including emerging well-known and world-renowned scholars in the fields of architectural history and theory and curatorial practices the thirty-five contributions define recent research in four key areas: drawing sites/sites of knowledge construction: drawing office construction site; the afterlife of drawings and models: archiving collecting displaying and exhibiting; tools of making: architectural representations and their apparatus over time; and the ethical responsibilities of collecting and archiving: authorship ownership copyrights and rights to copy. The research covers a wide range of geographies and delves into the practices of such architects as Sir John Soane Superstudio Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc Frank Lloyd Wright Wajiro Kon Germán Samper Gnecco A+PS Mies van der Rohe and Renzo Piano. | The Routledge Companion to Architectural Drawings and Models From Translating to Archiving Collecting and Displaying
