The Dictionary of Pure and Applied Physics (DPAP) is one of three physics dictionaries being published by CRC Press LLC, the other two being the Dictionary of Material Science and High En- ergy Physics and Dictionary of Geophysics, Astrophysics and
Modern biology has become an information science. Since the invention of a DNA sequencing method by Sanger in the late seventies, public repositories of genomic sequences have been growing exponentially, doubling in size every 16 months—a rate often
Brownian dynamics serve as mathematical models for the diffusive motion of mi- croscopic particles of various shapes in gaseous, liquid, or solid environments. The renewed interest in Brownian dynamics is due primarily to their key role in molec- ul
Modern methods of infrared, visible light or UV-light imaging are used in many fields of science, starting with astronomy through biophysics, physics, geography and ending with medicine. One such method allowing for imaging in a wide wavelength spec
VMD (Visual Molecular Dynamics) is a molecular visualization and analysis program designed for biological systems such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipid bilayer assemblies, etc. The program is developed by the Theoretical and Com- putational Biophys
Steven L. Jacques received a B.S. degree in Biology from M.I.T., and an M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science as well as a Ph.D. degree in Biophysics and Medical Physics from the University of California, Berkeley (1984). For his
Photosensitive fluorescent probes have become powerful tools in chemical biology and molecular biophysics, which are used to investigate cellular processes with high temporal and spatial resolution. Accordingly, photosensitive fluorescent probes, inc
I was fortunate to work with/for Dr Britton Chance as his postdoctoral fellow, in the Biochemistry and Biophysics Department at the University of Pennsylvania, between August 1991 and January 1994. As anyone who worked for him, I had a sufficient dos
We are pleased to present the third issue of JIOHS, which focuses on optical technologies of diagnostics and therapy. These are selected papers presented during Saratov Fall Meeting — 1st International Symposium on Optics and Biophotonics (September
