The Rotation of Sun and Stars by Jean-Pierre Rozelot English | PDF | 2009 | 266 Pages | ISBN : 3540878300 | 9.2 MB The Sun and stars rotate in di?erent ways and at di?erent velocity rates. The knowledge of how they rotate is important in understanding the formation and evolution of stars and their structure. The closest star to our Earth, the Sun, is a good laboratory to study in detail the rotation of a G star and allows to test new ideas and develop new techniques to study stellar rotation. More or less massive, more or lessevolved objects, however, can have averydi?erent rotation rate, structure and history. The Philosophy of Geography English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030771547 | 244 Pages | PDF EPUB | 7 MB The relationship between geography and philosophy is still largely in need of being explored. Geographers and philosophers share the responsibility for that. On the one hand, geographers have considered as a dangerous deviation any attempt to elaborate an image of the Earth which was not a mere replica of a cartographic representation. On the other hand, philosophers have generally been uninterested in a discipline offering little chance for critical reflection. In light of these considerations, the purpose of this book is to identify some fundamental philosophical issues involved in the reflection of geography by adopting a perspective which looks at the discipline with a specific focus on its fundamental concepts and distinctions. The Oxford Handbook of Evolutionary Medicine English | 2019 | ISBN: 0198789661 | 967 Pages | PDF | 47 MB Medicine is grounded in the natural sciences, where biology stands out with regard to our understanding of human physiology and the conditions that cause dysfunction. Ironically though, evolutionary biology is a relatively disregarded field. One reason for this omission is that evolution is deemed a slow process. Indeed, the macroanatomical features of our species have changed very little in the last 300,000 years. A more detailed look, however, reveals that novel The Oral Microbiome: Methods and Protocols English | 2021 | ISBN: 1071615173 | 301 Pages | PDF | 8 MB This volume discusses the oral microbiome, and oral and systemic health. The chapters in this book cover topics such as analytical techniques for identifying and measuring oral bacteria; strategies for controlling common sources of variability in oral microbiome methods for viral bacterial and fungal analysis; ways to study oral DNA and RNA samples to identify molecular pathways to disease; approaches to functional assays for oral bacteriophage, antibiotic purging of systemic bacteria; and metaproteomic analysis of various oral samples. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. The Invisible Brain Injury: Cognitive Impairments in Traumatic Brain Injury, Stroke and other Acquired Brain Pathologies English | 2020 | ISBN: 0367254077 | 157 Pages | PDF | 4 MB The Glioma Book English | 2020 | ISBN: 1626234442 | 352 Pages | PDF | 39 MB Glioblastoma (GBM) or glioma is an extremely aggressive and malignant brain tumor, with cell infiltration, rapid invasion, and a high frequency of relapse. The Glioma Book by neurosurgeon Michael Sughrue is a highly personal book - a culmination of two years of writing and more than 1,000 surgeries. It presents a unique viewpoint with the potential to transform the traditional paradigm that too often informs treatment of this universally fatal brain tumor. The book reinterprets the role of the cerebrum and sub-cortex, leverages scientific advances to improve cytoreduction and reduce neurological deficits, and challenges the myth of the "inoperable" glioma.
English | 2021 | ISBN: 9814998052 | 161 pages | True PDF | 6.61 MB In The Generalized Relative Gol'dberg Order and Type: Some Remarks on Functions of Complex Variables, the authors have discussed the generalized comparative growth analysis of entire functions of several complex variables at length. The discussion covers the important branch of complex analysis specially the theory of analytic functions of several variables. The book contains eight chapters. Chapter 1 presents introductory aspects of the topic and some preliminary definitions. In the proceeding chapters (2-8), the authors derive some results about the generalized Gol'dberg order (α,β) and generalized Gol'dberg type (α,β) of entire functions of several complex variables which progressively explores different variations of these variables, (upper and lower, functions, inequalities, growth measures). The book culminates in an explanation of the sum and product theorems depending on the generalized relative Gol'dberg order (α,β). This monograph is intended for mathematical researchers and enthusiasts who wish to expand their understanding about complex variables of several functions and complex and related aspects of complex analysis. [center] The Cognitive Neuroscience of Metacognition by Stephen M. Fleming English | PDF | 2014 | 398 Pages | ISBN : 3642451896 | 7.6 MB Metacognition is the capacity to reflect upon and evaluate cognition and behaviour. Long of interest to philosophers and psychologists, metacognition has recently become the target of research in the cognitive neurosciences. By combining brain imaging, computational modeling, neuropsychology and insights from psychiatry, the present book offers a picture of the metacognitive functions of the brain. Sustainable Agriculture Reviews: Volume 13 by Eric Lichtfouse English | PDF | 2013 | 314 Pages | ISBN : 3319009141 | 7 MB Sustainable agriculture is a rapidly growing field aiming at producing food and energy in a sustainable way for humans and their children. It is a discipline that addresses current issues: climate change, increasing food and fuel prices, poor-nation starvation, rich-nation obesity, water pollution, soil erosion, fertility loss, pest control and biodiversity depletion. This series gathers review articles that analyze current agricultural issues and knowledge, then proposes alternative solutions.
Student Feedback on Teaching in Schools: Using Student Perceptions for the Development of Teaching and Teachers by Wolfram Rollett English | PDF,EPUB | 2021 | 274 Pages | ISBN : 303075149X | 7.2 MB This book provides a comprehensive and informative overview of the current state of research about student perceptions of and student feedback on teaching. After presentation of a new student feedback process model, evidence concerning the validity and reliability of student perceptions of teaching quality is discussed. |
