In ebook "Diel vertical migration of zooplankton in lakes and oceans: Causal explanations and adaptive significances" the physiological–behavioural mechanisms are central topics. Light intensity changes trigger complex photobehaviour, guiding the animals into a timely descent and a prudent ascent. Photobehaviour has no obvious relation with adaptive goals and in the opinion of some is, therefore, not important. However, without light intensity changes DVM would not occur.

Ebook "TASER® conducted electrical weapons: Physiology, pathology, and law" are rapidly replacing the club for law-enforcement control of violent subjects within many countries around the globe. A TASER CEW is a hand-held device that delivers a 400-volt pulse with a duration tuned to control the skeletal muscles without affecting the heart at a distance of up to 6.5 meters over tiny wires. If necessary, it begins with an arcing voltage of 50,000 V to penetrate thick clothing; the 50,000 V is never delivered to the body itself.

Ebook "E-cell system: Basic concepts and applications" is to provide a comprehensive guide for the E‑Cell System version 3 in terms of the software features and its usage. While the publicly available E‑Cell Simulation Environment version 3 User's Manual provides the technical details of model building and scripting, it does not describe some of the underlying concepts of the E‑Cell System. The first part of the book addresses this issue by providing the basic concepts of modeling and simulation with the E‑Cell System.

Ebook "A systems biology approach to blood" is divided into three main sections: basic components, physiological processes, and clinical applications. Using blood as a window, one can study health and disease through this unique tool box with reactive biological fluids that mirrors the prevailing hemodynamics of the vessel walls and the various blood cell types. Many blood diseases, rare and common can and have been exploited using systems biology approaches with successful results and therefore ideal models for systems medicine.

Ebook "Bioinspired smell and taste sensors" discusses the field of bioinspired smell and taste sensors which includes many new areas: sensitive materials, physiological modelling and simulation, and more. Similar to biological chemical sensing systems, bioinspired smell and taste sensors are characterized with fast responsive, high specificity and sensitivity. One of the most important parts of the field is that of sensitive elements originated from biological components, which enable the detection of chemical signals by mimicking the biological mechanisms.
