Deciphering Growth (Research and Perspectives in Endocrine Interactions)

Springer, 2005

An organism’s body size tells us a lot about how it makes a living, suggesting that body size is a key parameter in evolution. We outline three large-scale trends in body size evolution. Bergmann’s Rule is the tendency for warm-blooded species at high latitudes to be larger than their close relatives nearer the equator....

Nonlinear Analysis and Synthesis Techniques for Aircraft Control (Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences)

Springer, 2007

Despite many significant advances in the theory of nonlinear control in recent years, the majority of control laws implemented in the European aerospace industry are still designed and analysed using predominantly linear techniques applied to linearised models of the aircrafts’ dynamics. Given the continuous increase in the complexity of...

Semiconductor Lasers I: Fundamentals (Optics and Photonics) (Pt. 1)

Academic Press, 1998

More than three decades have passed since lasing in semiconductors was first observed in several laboratories in 1962 (Hall et al., 1962; Holonyak, Jr. et al., 1962; Nathan et al., 1962; Quist et al., 1962). Although it was one of the first lasers to be demonstrated, the semiconductor laser had to await several important developments, both...

Possibility

Oxford University Press, 2009

Possibility offers a new analysis of the metaphysical concepts of possibility and necessity, one that does not rely on any sort of "possible worlds." The analysis proceeds from an account of the notion of a physical object and from the positing of properties and relations. It is motivated by considerations about how we actually speak of...

Embodied Minds in Action

Oxford University Press, 2009

In Embodied Minds in Action, Robert Hanna and Michelle Maiese work out a unified treatment of three fundamental philosophical problems: the mind-body problem, the problem of mental causation, and the problem of action. This unified treatment rests on two basic claims. The first is that conscious, intentional minds like ours are essentially...

Fundamentals of Relational Database Management Systems (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2007

Information is a valuable resource to an organization. Computer software provides an efficient means of processing information, and database systems are becoming increasingly common means by which it is possible to store and retrieve information in an effective manner. This book provides comprehensive coverage of fundamentals of database management...

Measurement Systems And Sensors

Artech House Publishers, 2005

One of the tendencies in measurement technology development is the development of measurement systems. By the measurement systems, we refer to a set of material and organizational resources, as well as programs for information processing, aggregated in order to obtain, transmit, and process measuring data, and to display and...

Atlas of Morphology and Functional Anatomy of the Brain

Springer, 2005

The recent advances in neuroimaging techniques, particularly magnetic re- nance (MR), have greatly improved our knowledge of brain anatomy and related brain function. Morphological and functional investigations of the brain using high-definition MR have made detailed study of the brain possible and provided new data on anatomo-functional...

Recent Trends in Information Reuse and Integration

Springer, 2011

We are delighted to see this edited book as the result of our intensive work over the past year. We succeeded in attracting high quality submissions of which we could only include 19 papers in this edited book. The present text aims at helping the reader whether researcher or practitioner to grasp the basic concept of reusability...

Progress in Turbulence V: Proceedings of the iTi Conference in Turbulence 2012 (Springer Proceedings in Physics)

Springer, 2013

This volume collects the edited and reviewed contributions presented in the 5^th iTi Conference in Bertinoro covering fundamental aspects in turbulent flows. In the spirit of the iTi initiative, the volume is produced after the conference so that the authors had the possibility to incorporate comments and discussions raised during...

Ionosphere and Applied Aspects of Radio Communication and Radar

CRC Press, 2008

This book describes the main aspects of radio propagation due to different natural and manmade phenomena occurring in ionospheric plasma. It discusses the possibility of stable radio communication links based on local scattering at field-elongated plasma inhomogeneities including natural inhomogeneities as well as artificial inhomogeneities. The...

Drug Use for Grown-Ups: Chasing Liberty in the Land of Fear

Penguin Press, 2021

“Hart’s argument that we need to drastically revise our current view of illegal drugs is both powerful and timely . . . when it comes to the legacy of this country’s war on drugs, we should all share his outrage.” —The New York Times Book Review
