Preliminary​This volume provides comprehensive overviews of each European cetacean species' biology including palaeontology, physiology, genetics, reproduction and development, ecology, habitat, diet, mortality and age determination. Their economic significance and management, as well as...
Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function 8e maintains the classic framework with a logical organization that an organic molecule's structure will determine its function and strengthens a focus on helping students understand reactions, mechanisms, and synthetic analysis and their practical...
In-depth, evidence-based resource covering important toxins affecting human health and safety Medical Toxicology of Occupational and Environmental Exposures presents crucial information on various important toxins that affect human health and safety, focusing on their chemical structures,...
Plant Breeding Reviews presents state-of-the-art reviews on plant genetics and the breeding of all types of crops by both traditional means and molecular methods. Many of the crops widely grown today stem from a very narrow genetic base; understanding and preserving crop genetic resources is vital...
Facial Neuropathies, Volume 202 summarizes research and treatment on focal neuropathies to update clinicians on nerve biology and new diagnostic techniques to guide investigation and treatment of mononeuropathies. The book explores research broadly applicable to all types of mononeuropathies as...
Factorization algebras are local-to-global objects that play a role in classical and quantum field theory that is similar to the role of sheaves in geometry: they conveniently organize complicated information. Their local structure encompasses examples like associative and vertex algebras; in these...
The book focuses on the ecology of the most important infectious diseases of wild avian hosts, especially those with high morbidity and mortality rates. Disease ecology is an important scientific approach to study the relationships and interactions between living organisms, their environment, and...
Having earned chemical accuracy and physical reality, quantum transport theory, which dates back to the Landauer theory in the mesoscopic physics field, is expanding its power over material science and chemistry, forming a new subject of non-equilibrium quantum transport theory for charge and heat...
Holistic medicine is: A clinical discipline that integrates both Eastern and Western medical methods and knowledge systems into one An evidence-based medicine that simultaneously embodies both a holistic approach and personalized principles The most straightforward form of medicine that adheres to...
The Middle Zambezi, host to a rich biodiversity, is located in the central part of the Zambezi River Basin which covers eight Southern African Countries. The area is located downstream of three hydropower schemes. In the last decades, the floodplain riparian tree, the Faidherbia albida, vital for...
A Chemometrics Guide for Chromatographers, Volume 33 in the Data Handling in Science and Technology series, helps bring chemometrics and statistics to the chromatographic field, with the aim of making the statistical tools understandable and useful for this community. There are excellent textbooks...
The field of solar and space physics is rapidly evolving, and is the subject of broad interest in the scientific community in research and academia. The solar wind is a major component of solar activity that impacts space weather. This book serves as a reference on the current status of knowledge...
This book covers the importance of particle identification in particle and nuclear physics, general principles of particle identification, and discusses methods for identification of charged and neutral particles, from time-of-flight detectors, Cherenkov detectors, transition radiation detectors,...
Although there exist several books on the interstellar medium (ISM), on gas dynamics, and on star formation, there exists no single comprehensive text relating the large-scale dynamical aspects of the ISM (i.e., its regime of flow) and their connection to the process of star formation. The purpose...
Einstein's theory of general relativity provides our modern description of gravitation, supplanting Newton's law of universal gravitation that held sway for more than 200 years. General relativity describes gravity as a geometric property of space and time, with space-time being curved by an...
This timely text provides a review of the properties of tissue and tissue equivalent materials, including an overview of properties and measurement methodologies, as well as incorporating simulants and relevant sensor systems. Latter chapters explore newer cutting-edge methods of physiological...
Unlike most scientific books on circadian rhythms, this book focuses on mechanistic understanding of the clocks themselves and is about the inner machinery of circadian clocks. One emphasis will be on new insights into clock mechanism derived from structures of circadian clock proteins solved by...
Tidal disruption events are now a well-established new class of nuclear transient, with samples of up to 50 TDEs now observed. With the next generation of wide-field time surveys on the horizon, most notably the NSF Vera Rubin Observatory LSST with first light in 2022, this is the opportunity to...
Humanitarian engineering involves the application of engineering or engineering principles to improve the well-being of marginalized people and disadvantaged communities, usually in the developing world. Humanitarian engineering typically focuses on programs that are affordable, sustainable, and...
