Nutrigenomics and its Applications in Animal Science

Nutrigenomics applies genomic technologies to study how nutrients affect expression of genes. With the advent of the post genomic era and with the use of functional genomic tools, the new strategies for evaluating the effects of nutrition on production efficiency and nutrient utilization are becoming available. Nutrigenomics plays an efficient role in various fields of animal health like nutrit...

Achieving Open Access to Conservation Science

Conservation science is a crisis discipline in which the results of scientific enquiry must be made available quickly to those implementing management. We assessed the extent to which scientific research published since the year 2000 in 20 conservation science journals is publicly available. Of the 19,207 papers published, 1,667 (8.68%) are freely downloadable from an official repository. Moreo...

Conservation science must engender hope to succeed.

Beamforming and Its Applications to Brain Connectivity

In this chapter we show how beamforming, an analysis procedure for EEG and MEG data sets that is becoming increasingly popular, can be used to obtain insight about functional connectivity between brain regions. To this end we introduce a parameterization of cortical surfaces based on output from the software package Freesurfer and restrict the potential current sources to the cortical gray matt...
