Book Description;
Modeling Microbial Responses in Foods is the first state-of-the-art review of this dynamic field in a decade. The comprehensive coverage includes basic approaches, such as improvements in the development of primary and secondary models, statistical fitting strategies, and novel data collection methods. The authors explore important developing areas, including specific applications, challenges in applying models to foods, variability and uncertainly, and new modeling strategies. They provide detailed descriptions of non-linear regression fitting, methods, and approaches relevant to 'real world' situations, and extensive applications of predictive models.

Product Details:
* Hardcover: 616 pages
* Publisher: Wiley-VCH (March 20, 2006)
* Language: English
* ISBN-10: 352731265X

Book Description
The first book on this young, highly dynamic, and expanding field.
This comprehensive, interdisciplinary text focuses on those pathogenic bacteria that are of high scientific and public health interest, yet which also display great potential for the development of new diagnostic, prophylactic and therapeutic procedures.
The authors cover all aspects of pathogenomics, including methods, genomics and applications. In addition, the ongoing development of genome, transcriptome, proteome and bioinformatic analyses of pathogenic microorganisms and their host interactions makes for a comprehensive introduction to the field of modern genomic analysis.
This result is invaluable to researchers and students wishing to gain a general overview of microbial functional genome analysis and pathogenesis, while also representing a good starting point for those new to the area.
