Population Genetics for Animal Conservation (Conservation Biology)

Population Genetics for Animal Conservation (Conservation Biology), 9780521685375 (0521685370), Cambridge University Press, 2009

It is widely accepted among conservation biologists that genetics is, more than ever, an essential and efficient tool for wild and captive population management and reserve design. However, a true synergy between population genetics and conservation biology is lacking. Following the first International Workshop on Population Genetics for Animal Conservation in 2003, the scientific committee felt that, given the global urgency of animal conservation, it was imperative that discussions at the conference were made accessible to graduate students and wildlife managers. This book integrates 'the analytical methods approach' with the 'real problems approach' in conservation genetics. Each chapter is an exhaustive review of one area of expertise, and a special effort has been made to explain the statistical tools available for the analysis of molecular data as clearly as possible. The result is a comprehensive volume of the state-of-the-art in conservation genetics, illustrating the power and utility of this synergy.

Programming Algorithms in Lisp: Writing Efficient Programs with Examples in ANSI Common Lisp

Apress, 2021

This book started after teaching an intensive course on algorithms to working programmers in Kyiv, in spring 2016. It took more than 3 years to complete, and, meanwhile, I also did three iterations of the course. Its aim is to systematically explain how to write efficient programs and, also, the approaches and tools for...

Intermediate Robot Building

Apress, 2010

Greetings robot builder!

Over the years, I’ve created many homemade robots (some of which, only the builder could love). However, with each successive robotic generation, I try to gradually expand my knowledge of electronics, mechanics, machining, software, and art by experimenting with new techniques, features, or parts...

The Homemade Workshop: Build Your Own Woodworking Machines and Jigs

Popular Woodworking, 2015

Less cost! More features! Bragging rights!
Let's face it: Woodworking isn't cheap. Wood and materials alone can cost a small fortune. And well-designed commercial woodworking machines are often so expensive that they are beyond the reach of many home woodworkers. So what's a woodworker to do? Do what Stumpy Nubs does and...
