Functional and Dysfunctional Sexual Behavior: A Synthesis of Neuroscience and Comparative Psychology

Academic Press, 2007

For a long time I was fascinated by trying to understand the behavioral, endocrine and neural mechanisms controlling rat sexual behavior, independently of whether such an understanding was of any use or not. My favorite afternoon distraction was to walk over to the lab and see how the experiments were going, and if possible I...

MATLAB for Engineering and the Life Sciences (Synthesis Lectures on Engineering)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2011

In 2004, Joel Cohen published a paper in the Public Library of Science (PLoS) Biology, titled “Mathematics is Biology’s Next Microscope, only Better; Biology is Mathematics’ Next Physics, Only Better”. The premise of the article was that in the near future there will be an explosion in both math and biology...

Air Pollution from Motor Vehicles: Standards and Technologies for Controlling Emissions

World Bank Publications, 1997

Contributions by Surhid Gautam and Lit-Mian Chan. This book presents a state-of-the art review of vehicle emission standards and regulations and provides a synthesis of worldwide experience with vehicle emission control technologies and their applications in both industrial and developing countries. Topics covered include: * The two principal...

Ecosystem Engineers, Volume 4: Plants to Protists (Theoretical Ecology Series)

Academic Press, 2007

The purpose of this collection is to present some of the diversity of ideas and studies about species that can be classifi ed as “ecosystem engineers.” As with any developing concept, we fi nd disagreement about the meaning and usefulness of this term in the literature and among ourselves. The idea for the book...

$Electric Refractory Materials$

Electric Refractory Materials

CRC Press, 2000

This book provides a state-of-the-art overview of electric refractory materials as exotic materials (i.e., metallic and semiconducting refractory materials) from fundamental properties to application in a wide variety of electronics. The metallic ceramics or metalloids are the transition metal carbides, nitrides, and diborides of...

Nanostructure control of materials

CRC Press, 2006

The World is confronted with a plethora of potentially disruptive technologies – some, such as nanotechnology, will inevitably challenge our cherished social, economic and industrial stability over the next two decades. Rational design and manufacture of materials properties through nanostructure control will profoundly...

The Audio Programming Book

MIT Press, 2010

This comprehensive handbook of mathematical and programming techniques for audio signal processing will be an essential reference for all computer musicians, computer scientists, engineers, and anyone interested in audio. Designed to be used by readers with varying levels of programming expertise, it not only provides the foundations for...

Image and Signal Processing for Networked eHealth Applications (Synthesis Lectures on Biomedical Engineering)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2006

In all societies and in all eras, health has been an issue of major importance. Our times are, of course, no different in this, except for one thing: the kind and amount of resources available to us are augmented. During the last couple of centuries, technology has certainly been the most important new resource made available to...

Advances in Chemical Physics: Modern Nonlinear Optics, Volume 119, Part 3, 2nd Edition

John Wiley & Sons, 2001

Few of us can any longer keep up with the flood of scientific literature, even in specialized subfields. Any attempt to do more and be broadly educated with respect to a large domain of science has the appearance of tilting at windmills. Yet the synthesis of ideas drawn from different subjects into new, powerful, general...

Marine Chemical Ecology (Marine Science)

CRC Press, 2001

The interdisciplinary field of marine chemical ecology is an expanding and dynamic science. It is no surprise that the breadth of marine organisms studied expanded in concert with developments in underwater technology. With its up-to-date subject reviews by experts, Marine Chemical Ecology is the most current, comprehensive book on the...

One-Dimensional Nanostructures (Lecture Notes in Nanoscale Science and Technology)

Springer, 2008

One-dimensional (1D) nanostructures represent a group of nanomaterials with highly anisotropic morphologies, the smallest dimension falling in the range of 1–100 nm. Typical examples of 1D nanostructures include nanowires and nanotubes. Semiconductor nanowires are characterized by the efficient transport of electrons and excitons, and...

Thermodynamics of Biochemical Reactions

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

This book is about the thermodynamics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions that make up the metabolism of living organisms. It is not an introductory text, but the fundamental principles of thermodynamics are reviewed. The reader does need some background in thermodynamics, such as that provided by a first course in physical...
