Cynthia Eller explores the intellectual history of the myth, which arose from male scholars who mostly wanted to vindicate the patriarchal family model as a higher stage of human development. Eller tells the stories these men told, analyzes the gendered assumptions they made, and provides the necessary context for understanding how feminists of the 1970s and 1980s embraced as historical "fact" a discredited nineteenth-century idea.

Free Download Generalized Linear Mixed Models with Applications in Agriculture and Biology by Josafhat Salinas Ruíz , Osval Antonio Montesinos López , Gabriela Hernández Ramírez , Jose Crossa Hiriart English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 434 Pages | ISBN : 3031327993 | 25 MB This book offers an introduction to mixed generalized linear models with applications to the biological sciences, basically approached from an applications perspective, without neglecting the rigor of the theory. For this reason, the theory that supports each of the studied methods is addressed and later - through examples - its application is illustrated. In addition, some of the assumptions and shortcomings of linear statistical models in general are also discussed.  Free Download Alison M.

Free Download Gasotransmitters: Physiology and Pathophysiology by Anton Hermann, Guzel F. Sitdikova, Thomas M. Weiger English | PDF | 2012 | 209 Pages | ISBN : 3642303374 | 3.8 MB Since the epochal discovery of the radical and highly toxic gas nitric oxide (NO) as a signaling molecule, two other no less toxic gases - carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) - have been found to also be involved in a plethora of physiological and pathophysiological functions. The gases termed gasotransmitters play an increasingly important role in understanding how signalling into and between cells is modulated and fine-tuned. The advent of gasotransmitters has profoundly changed our way of thinking about biosynthesis, liberation, storage and action mechanisms in cellular signaling. In recent years an impressive amount of new data, distributed throughout the existing literature, has been generated. For this book the editors have recruited distinguished colleagues in the field to summarize and review important biological, pharmacological and medical functions and their implications, as well as methods for the detection of gasotransmitters.

 Free Download Gamification Design for Educational Contexts: Theoretical and Practical Contributions by Armando Toda, Alexandra I. Cristea, Seiji Isotani English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 140 Pages | ISBN : 3031319486 | 14.5 MB Have you ever wondered how to best add game-like elements to your (online) courses? What makes some game features desirable, and others boring? This book covers gamification design in educational domains. It is aimed at practitioners, researchers and academics alike. Gamification design is a recent and relevant topic in many domains; however, it is not well explored in the domain of education, with only a few frameworks available and most of these being only academic (e.g., theoretical) and not addressing practical issues related to education practitioners (e.g., teachers and instructors). The book is divided into 3 parts, in part 1 we explain some basic concepts related to gamification and gamification design, its importance for the education domain, possible negative effects if gamification design is neglected, and aspects that are still not encompassed by this field. Following, part 2 focus on explaining data-driven gamification design concepts as well as a research framework on how to use data mining algorithms to analyze and interpret data to generate strategies that can be used in education domain. It also presents a conceptual framework on how to apply those strategies in the education domain, focusing on the teacher and instructor; Finally, part 3 presents discussions regarding the concepts covered in the book, as well as possible research directions  FractureFX 2.1.1 for Maya 2017-2023 (x64) | 22 MB Fracture FX's scalable and event-based architecture provides artists with complete control over destruction simulations, resulting in faster shot finals and less man-hours per shot.
