22051General, organic, and biological chemistry : structures of life : 3rd ed.
A clear and friendly writing style, reader-focused approach, and real-world, health-related applications have made Karen Timberlake a best-selling allied health author. Filled with real-world, health-related applications, this readable presentation breaks allied health chemistry concepts into bite-sized pieces—with a step-by-step approach that provides clear and thorough understanding. Conceptual questions at the end of each chapter test comprehension of the material. New Green Chemistry Notes include “Biodiesel: An Alternative Fuel,” “Greenhouse Gases,” and “Energy Saving Light Bulbs.” The Third Edition is available with MasteringChemistry™, the most advanced chemistry homework and tutorial system available.
22052General, organic, and biological chemistry : structures of life : 4th ed.
The Fourth Edition emphasizes connections between chemistry and students’ future careers and develops the problem-solving skills students need beyond the classroom. Each chapter now includes NEW chapter-opening Career Interviews and Career Focus features to illustrate the role chemistry plays in modern, health-related professions. A new Analyze the Problem feature furthers critical-thinking skills by showing students how to break down a word problem into the components needed to solve.
22053General, organic, and biological chemistry : structures of life : 6th ed.
It introduces more problem-solving strategies, more problem-solving guides, new Analyze the Problem with Connect features, new Try It First and Engage features, conceptual and challenge problems, and new sets of combined problems–all to help students develop the problem-solving skills they’ll need beyond the classroom.

22055Genes, culture, and personality
This book the emphasis is on understanding the genetic and environmental causes of these differences. Genes, Culture, and Personality is an expansive account of the state of current knowledge about the causes of individual differences in personality and social attitudes. Based on almost two decades of empirical research, the authors have made a significant contribution to the debate on genetic and cultural inheritance in human behavior.

22058Genetic variations of filaggrin encoding gene (FLG) in the Vietnamese population revealed from whole-exome sequencing
Filaggrin is a key protein that facilitates terminal differentiation of the epidermis and maintains skin barrier function. Mutations in the gene encoding filaggrin (FLG) have been identified to cause ichthyosis vulgaris, increase the risk of atopic dermatitis and other skin diseases. In this study, we established the database of FLG gene obtained by whole-exome sequencing (WES) of 244 Vietnamese. We also estimated allele and genotype frequencies of the FLG gene in this Vietnamese population and predicted the impact of novel variants on protein function using in silico analysis tools. The detected variants included 126 nonsynonymous, six nonsense mutations, six frameshift insertions/deletions, and one non-frameshift deletion, mostly located in exon 3. Of which, there were 11 novel variants have been identified and four of them were predicted as detrimental for encoding protein. Remarkable pathogenic variants were mostly nonsense variants, showing the main genetic factor underlying the pathology of diseases caused by FLG.
22059Genetics : a conceptual approach : 3rd edition
Based on the author’s 27 years of teaching experience, Genetics: A Conceptual Approach, Third Edition, builds upon features that have made past editions so successful: an engaging writing style; relevant applications; an accessible and instructive art program; an emphasis on problem-solving; and, most importantly, a strong focus on concepts and connections. To bring these key concepts into sharper focus, Ben Pierce has selectively reduced the amount of detail and has streamlined coverage to focus on essential concepts.
22060Genetics : analysis & principles : 3rd ed.
Genetics: Analysis and Principles is a one-semester, introductory genetics textbook that takes an experimental approach to understanding genetics. By weaving one or two experiments into the narrative of each chapter, students can simultaneously explore the scientific method and understand the genetic principles that have been learned from these experiments.
