Book Description
Winner of the Computer History Museum Prize of the Special Interest Group: Computers, Information, and Society Imagine biology and medicine today without computers. What would laboratory work be like if electronic databases and statistical software did not exist? Would disciplines like genomics even be feasible if we lacked the means to manage and manipulate huge volumes of digital data? How would patients fare in a world absent CT scans, programmable pacemakers, and computerized medical records? Today, computers are a critical component of almost all research in biology and medicine. Yet, just fifty years ago, the study of life was by far the least digitized field of science, its living subject matter thought too complex and dynamic to be meaningfully analyzed by logic-driven computers. In this long-overdue study, historian Joseph November explores the early attempts, in the 1950s and 1960s, to computerize biomedical research in the United States. Computers and biomedical research are now so intimately connected that it is difficult to imagine when such critical work was offline. Biomedical Computing transports readers back to such a time and investigates how computers first appeared in the research lab and doctor's office. November examines the conditions that made possible the computerization of biology—including strong technological, institutional, and political support from the National Institutes of Health—and shows not only how digital technology transformed the life sciences but also how the intersection of the two led to important developments in computer architecture and software design. The history of this phenomenon has been only vaguely understood. November's thoroughly researched and lively study makes clear for readers the motives behind computerizing the study of life and how that technology profoundly affects biomedical research today.

Stabilizers for Photographic Silver Halide Emulsions: Progress in Chemistry and Application
Author: Gunther FischerPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9780306479052
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
This monograph will appeal both to industrial chemists and academics. The book is addressed to industrial chemists in the photographic industry as well as scientists in relevant research institutes, but also to any chemist or advanced student interested in this field. It is not, however, a textbook. Important organic-chemical (heterocyclic) and physicochemical topics (adsorption), for example, are given much attention.One main focus will be the chemistry of stabilizers (structure, relevant chemical and physicochemical properties, mechanism of action); the other main focus relates to the practical application of these substances for stabilization, sensitization, and other purposes. Especially valuable will be the analysis of the large patent output of the photographic industry.
