Изобретательская мысль в Советском Союзе развивалась своеобразно. Ее поощряли в избранных областях – космической, военной, научной – и практически игнорировали в бытовой. Иначе говоря, мы совершали важнейшие прорывы в ракетостроении и фундаментальных исследованиях, но серьёзно отставали во всём, что касалось повседневной жизни, от пылесосов до автомобилей. У этой книги две задачи. Первая – рассказать об изобретениях, сделанных нашими соотечестве ...
Настало время стать самым влиятельным человеком на Земле. Представьте, что вы решили прокатиться в прошлое на машине времени, но застряли где-то в Юрском периоде. Как будете выживать? Райан Норт, программист и автор комиксов-бестселлеров, рассказывает, как с помощью научных знаний и технологий, культуры и философии восстановить цивилизацию с нуля. ...
The GnRH Neuron and its Control examines the developmental biology of GnRH neurons including their birth in the nasal placode of the early embryo, perinatal programming, and sexual differentiation, in addition to the hypothalamic mechanisms that control GnRH neurons in adulthood to generate pulsatile and surge modes of GnRH secretion throughout the major life stages including aging. The morphology, electrophysiology, signal transduction pathways ...
Um ein biologisches Experiment richtig planen, durchfuhren und auswerten zu konnen, muss man uber fundierte Kenntnisse grundlegender mathematischer und statistischer Operationen verfugen. Mathe fur Biologen bietet einen leicht verstandlichen Zugang zur Mathematik, Statistik und Datenverarbeitung. Ob in Form von Exponentialrechnungen, Logarithmen oder bei der Berechnung von Molaritaten, Verdunnungen und Volumina – ohne Mathematik geht im Labor ga ...
Despite many successes in the field of conservation, species extinction rates continue to climb and wild areas and habitats continue to be lost. Many look to more (or better) biology and ecology to solve the problem but the obstacles are not just scientific but political. To stop the 6th great extinction the conservation movement must become much stronger, more tenacious, and more effective. By learning from its own history and especially from t ...
In the new edition of this highly successful book, Malcolm Hunter and new co-author James Gibbs offer a thorough introduction to the fascinating and important field of conservation biology, focusing on what can be done to maintain biodiversity through management of ecosystems and populations. Starting with a succinct look at conservation and biodiversity, this book progresses to contend with some of the subject's most complex topics, such as mas ...
Electric Currents in Geospace and Beyond Andreas Keiling, University of California at Berkeley, USA . Octav Marghitu, Institute of Space Sciences, Romania. Michael Wheatland, University of Sydney, Australia. Electric currents are fundamental to the structure and dynamics of space plasmas, including our own near-Earth space environment, or “geospace.”This volume takes an integrated approach to the subject of electric currents by incorporating the ...
Textbooks on the principles of conservation biology abound. Yet, how does one put this theoretical knowledge into practice? The aim of The Conservation Handbook is to provide clear guidance on the implementation of conservation techniques. The wide range of methods described include those for ecological research, monitoring, planning, education, habitat management and combining conservation with development. Nineteen case studies illustrate how ...
