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...

Nonlinear Stochastic Operator Equations

Academic Press, 1986

A previous volume, Stochastic Systems (1983), was the first systematic book bringing nonlinear and stochastic equations within the reach of engi neers and physicists concerned with the difficulties of real systems and fron tier problems in which conventional techniques such as linearization and perturbation are not sufficient...

IMS Application Developer's Handbook: Creating and Deploying Innovative IMS Applications

Academic Press, 2011

Many books have been written about IMS, so why do we think another is needed? Most of the existing books are written from the perspective of those who implement the technology, either network vendors or operators. There is no such focus for developers. The standards that form the basis of IMS are complex – as they are...

Hydrogen and Fuel Cells: Emerging Technologies and Applications (Sustainable World)

Academic Press, 2005

The next several years will see a massive emergence of hydrogen fuel cells as an alterative energy option in both transportation and domestic use. The long-range expectation is that hydrogen will be used as a fuel, produced either from renewable energy, fossil, or nuclear sources, offering an environmentally acceptable and efficient source of...

Power Electronics Handbook, Second Edition: Devices, Circuits and Applications (Engineering)

Academic Press, 2006

Power electronics, which is a rapidly growing area in terms of research and applications, uses modern electronics technology to convert electric power from one form to another, such as ac-dc, dc-dc, dc-ac, and ac-ac with a variable output magnitude and frequency. Power electronics has many applications in our every day life such as...

An Introduction to Trading in the Financial Markets SET: An Introduction to Trading in the Financial Markets: Technology: Systems, Data, and Networks

Academic Press, 2011

This book is the third in a set of books that address the trading markets. We use the term “trading markets” because that is the most general term we can find for the portion of the financial markets sometimes imprecisely referred to as the securities markets. (We explained these distinctions in Book 1, An Introduction to Trading...

Statistical Methods, Second Edition

Academic Press, 2003

This broad text provides a complete overview of most standard statistical methods, including multiple regression, analysis of variance, experimental design, and sampling techniques. Assuming a background of only two years of high school algebra, this book teaches intelligent data analysis and covers the principles of good data collection....

Food Process Engineering and Technology (Food Science and Technology)

Academic Press, 2008

We begin this book with the theme of the 13th World Congress of the International Union of Food Science and Technology (IUFoST), held in Nantes, France, in September 2006, in recognition of the vital role of food and food processing in our life. The necessity to subject the natural food materials to some kind of treatment...

Glucose Metabolism in the Brain, Volume 51 (International Review of Neurobiology.)

Academic Press, 2002

Glucose is an essential energy source for the adult human brain. When blood glucose levels fall by half from a normal fasting value (to about 2–3 mM), there is some cognitive impairment and, at glucose levels below 1 mM, mental confusion is evident and coma may result from sustained glucose deprivation. Recent studies...

Sertoli Cell Biology (Vol 1)

Academic Press, 2004

In 1993 Lonnie Russell and Michael Griswold edited a book titled The Sertoli Cell, which has served as a major resource for investigators interested in male reproduction. It is appropriate that now—more than 10 years later—the advances in this field are summarized in this new text. It is also appropriate that...

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...
