Introduction to MATLAB with Numerical Preliminaries

John Wiley & Sons, 2004

MATLAB is an abbreviation for MATrix LABoratory and it is ideally suited for computations involving matrices. Since all of the sciences routinely collect data in the form of (spreadsheet) matrices, MATLAB turns out to be particularly suitable for the analysis of mathematical problems in an assortment of fields. MATLAB is very easy to...

Insect Outbreaks Revisited

John Wiley & Sons, 2012

The abundance of insects can change dramatically from generation to generation; these generational changes may occur within a growing season or over a period of years. Such extraordinary density changes or "outbreaks" may be abrupt and ostensibly random, or population peaks may occur in a more or less cyclic fashion. They can be...

Bacteriocins: Ecology and Evolution

Springer, 2006

Microbes produce an extraordinary array of defense systems. These include bacteriocins, a class of antimicrobial molecules with narrow killing spectra, produced by bacteria. The book describes the diversity and ecological role of bacteriocins of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, presenting a new classification scheme for the former and a...

Dog Behaviour, Evolution, and Cognition (Oxford Biology)

Oxford University Press, 2008

This is the first book to collate and synthesise the recent burgeoning primary research literature on dog behaviour, evolution and cognition. The author presents a new ecological approach to the understanding of dog behaviour, demonstrating how dogs can be the subject of rigorous and productive scientific study without the need to confine...

Groundwater in the Environment: An Introduction

John Wiley & Sons, 2006

This accessible new textbook provides a thorough introduction to all aspects of groundwater systems and their management. Using straightforward language and analogies to everyday experiences, it explains the origins, nature, and behavior of subsurface water without resorting to complicated mathematics.

Groundwater in the...

Handbook of Environmental Fluid Dynamics, Two-Volume Set: Handbook of Environmental Fluid Dynamics, Volume One: Overview and Fundamentals

CRC Press, 2012

With major implications for applied physics, engineering, and the natural and social sciences, the rapidly growing area of environmental fluid dynamics focuses on the interactions of human activities, environment, and fluid motion. A landmark for the field, the two-volume Handbook of Environmental Fluid Dynamics presents the basic...

Integrated Operations in the Oil and Gas Industry: Sustainability and Capability Development

IGI Global, 2012

The concept of a capability platform can be used to argue how firms engage networked relationships to embed learning/performance into distinctive practices rather than focusing only on technology. In fact the capability language allows us to unpack the role of technology by emphasizing its interaction with people, process, and...

Global Issues: An Introduction

John Wiley & Sons, 2016

Now reorganized and updated throughout, the fifth edition of this well-regarded introductory global issues text continues to reflect the most important aspects of an increasingly globalized world.

Reorganized into more accessible chapters better suited to semester-long courses, with new sections covering development,...

Ecological Genomics: Ecology and the Evolution of Genes and Genomes

Springer, 2013

Researchers in the field of ecological genomics aim to determine how a genome or a population of genomes interacts with its environment across ecological and evolutionary timescales. Ecological genomics is trans-disciplinary by nature. Ecologists have turned to genomics to be able to elucidate the mechanistic bases of the biodiversity their...

Scientific Data Management: Challenges, Technology, and Deployment

CRC Press, 2009

Dealing with the volume, complexity, and diversity of data currently being generated by scientific experiments and simulations often causes scientists to waste productive time. Scientific Data Management: Challenges, Technology, and Deployment describes cutting-edge technologies and solutions for managing and analyzing vast...

Remote Sensing of Snow and Ice

CRC Press, 2005

Although our planet is characterized by water, the extent to which water in its frozen state plays a role in the functioning of the Earth is perhaps underappreciated. Snow and ice cover about a sixth of the Earth’s surface, as snow lying on the ground, as glaciers and larger masses of terrestrial ice, including the huge...

The World Computer: Derivative Conditions of Racial Capitalism (Thought in the Act)

Duke University Press, 2021

In The World Computer Jonathan Beller forcefully demonstrates that the history of commodification generates information itself. Out of the omnipresent calculus imposed by commodification, information emerges historically as a new money form. Investigating its subsequent financialization of daily life and colonization of semiotics,...
