As with the first edition, this new edition of Living in a Microbial World is written for students taking a general microbiology course, or a microbiology-based course for non-science majors. The conversational style and use of practical, everyday examples make the essential concepts of microbiology accessible to a wide audience. While using this approach, the text maintains scientific rigor with clear explanations spanning the breadth of microbiology, including health, evolution, ecology, food production, biotechnology, and industrial processes.
Each chapter contains a series of case studies based on microbiology in the news, in history, and in literature. There are questions at the end of each case study and the end of each chapter, as well as an online quiz with help on answering the questions. The text, questions, and cases have been updated to reflect the changing influence of microbiology in the world today, from the microbiome, to new disease outbreaks (Ebola and Zika) and antibiotic resistance, to new biotechnology tools (CRISPR-Cas).
Living in a Microbial World, Second Edition is additionally supported by the Garland Science Learning System. This homework platform is designed to evaluate and improve student performance and allows instructors to select assignments on specific topics and review the performance of the entire class, as well as individual students, via the instructor dashboard. Students receive immediate feedback on their mastery of the topics, and will be better prepared for lectures and classroom discussions. The user-friendly system provides a convenient way to engage students while assessing progress. Performance data can be used to tailor classroom discussion, activities, and lectures to address students' needs precisely and efficiently.

Описание: The aim of this book is to provide readers with a wide overview of the main healthcare-associated infections caused by bacteria and fungi able to grow as biofilm. The recently acquired knowledge on the pivotal role played by biofilm-growing microorganisms in healthcare-related infections has given a new dynamic to detection, prevention and treatment of these infections in patients admitted to both acute care hospitals and long-term care facilities. Clinicians, hygienists and microbiologists will be updated by leading scientists on the state-of-art of biofilm-based infections and on the most innovative strategies for prevention and treatment of these infections, often caused by emerging multidrug-resistant biofilm-growing microorganisms.

Описание: Basierend auf dem Erfolg von zEine Zusammenfassung des PMBOK(R) Guide - kurz und buendig" in der fuenften Ausgabe, ist eine neue Ausgabe verfasst, die nun vollstaendig auf die sechste Ausgabe des PMBOK(R) Guide (2017) abgestimmt ist. Wenn Sie mit dem PMBOK(R) Guide bereits vertraut sind, wird bereits der Titel dieses Buches Ihre Erwartungen erfuellen. Wenn der PMBOK(R) Guide Ihnen jedoch noch nicht begegnet ist: Der PMBOK(R) Guide (A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge) ist als weltweiter Standard im Projektmanagement anerkannt. Bestaetigt wird dies durch die Tatsache, dass mehr als sechs Millionen Exemplare im Umlauf sind, beginnend mit der ersten Ausgabe aus dem Jahr 1987 bis zur Version 6, die 2017 veroeffentlicht wurde. In dieser Version 6 sind auch agile Konzepte integriert, da diese heutzutage ein wichtiger Bestandteil unserer Projektumgebungen sind. Der zGuide" ist im Original jedoch recht umfangreich, und deshalb bieten wir mit dieser Taschenbuchausgabe eine leichter zugaengliche und verkuerzte Version an, um einem breiteren Publikum einen einfacheren Zugang zu ermoeglichen. Das wirklich Neue an dieser sechsten Ausgabe im Vergleich zu frueheren Ausgaben ist, dass neben einigen kleineren Updates jeder PM-Aspekt - genannt Wissensbereich - nun einen Abschnitt mit dem Titel Ansaetze fuer agile und adaptive Umgebungen enthaelt, in dem beschrieben wird, wie diese Praktiken in Ihre Projekte integriert werden koennen. Ausserdem wird mehr Wert auf das strategische und betriebswirtschaftliche Wissen eines Projektleiters gelegt - einschliesslich der Diskussion der eher strategischen Dokumente zBusiness Case" und zBenefit Management Plan" - die unsere Projekte vorantreiben.Auf organisationsweiter Ebene unterstuetzt der PMBOK Guide (R) einen strukturierten und gut abgestimmten Ansatz fuer einen Projektlebenszyklus und stellt sicher, dass alle Beteiligten (=zStakeholder") die gleiche Sprache sprechen. Es wird die praktische Anwendung von Projektmanagementprozessen verbessern, wenn diese nun von allen verstanden und konsequent angewendet werden. Dieses Taschenbuch ist fuer Projektauftraggeber (Sponsoren), Projektmanager/-leiter und Projektteammitglieder besonders nuetzlich, da dies die drei Schluesselrollen sind, die hier unterschieden werden. Ebenso nuetzlich ist das Buch fuer Projektnebenrollen (zum Beispiel fuer Mitglieder eines Projektmanagementbueros (PMO)). Es unterstuetzt alle Projektbeteiligten inzweierlei Hinsicht:¢ Besseres Verstaendnis ihrer Rolle in Projekten, die auf bewaehrte Praktikenim Projektmanagement beruhen;¢ Verbesserung eines organisationsweiten Projektmanagementansatzes. Kurz gesagt: eine kompakte jedoch komplette Zusammenfassung des PMBOK Guide(R), fuer jedem der mit Projekmanagement beschaeftigt ist, fuer nur a‚¬17,95!

Описание: Predictive microbiology primarily deals with the quantitative assessment of microbial responses at a macroscopic or microscopic level, but also involves the estimation of how likely an individual or population is to be exposed to a microbial hazard. This book provides an overview of the major literature in the area of predictive microbiology, with a special focus on food. The authors tackle issues related to modeling approaches and their applications in both microbial spoilage and safety. Food spoilage is presented through applications of best-before-date determination and commercial sterility. Food safety is presented through applications of risk-based safety management. The different modeling aspects are introduced through probabilistic and stochastic approaches, including model and data uncertainty, but also biological variability. Features an extensive review of modelling terminology Presents examples of all available microbial models (i.e., growth, inactivation, growth/no growth) and applicable softwareRevisits all statistical aspects related to exposure assessmentDescribes realistic examples of implementing microbial spoilage and safety modeling approaches
