This book presents groundbreaking robotic experiments on how and why spatial language evolves. It provides detailed explanations of the origins of spatial conceptualization strategies, spatial categories, landmark systems and spatial grammar by tracing the interplay of environmental conditions, communicative and cognitive pressures. The experiments discussed in this book go far beyond previous …
Anatomy Quizbook is an interactive learning book that will help students and tutors – indeed anyone interested in anatomy – learn, test and improve their knowledge of the human body.Readers are presented with carefully selected questions and diagrams addressing core learning in clinically-relevant anatomy. This selective rather than exhaustive approach will especially suit time-poor scholar…
This book summarizes the development of highly tolerant cultivars via plant breeding, genomics, and proteomic approaches. This book could supplement data for budding researchers by providing extensive ongoing measures to improve the detoxification competence of appropriate species via wide range of plant improvement approaches. It also offers insights into heavy metal signalling,metal chelation…

Current Concepts provides a rational diagnostic strategy for clinical, surgical and support teams. Crohn's Disease? Current Concepts is a…
The book provides a comprehensive description of the basic ultrasound principles, normal anatomy of the lower limb muscles and classification of muscle strain injuries. Ultrasound images are coupled with anatomical schemes explaining probe positioning and scanning technique for the various muscles of the thigh and leg. For each muscle, a brief explanation of normal anatomy is also provided, tog…
This thesis presents a highly innovative study of the ultrafast structural and vibrational dynamics of hydrated phospholipids, the basic constituents of cell membranes. As a novel approach to the water-phospholipid interface, the author studies phosphate vibrations using the most advanced methods of nonlinear vibrational spectroscopy, including femtosecond two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy.…
The Forest of the Lacandon Maya: An Ethnobotanical Guide, with active links to audio-video recordings, serves as a comprehensive guide to the botanical heritage of the northern Lacandones. Numbering fewer than 300 men, women, and children, this community is the most culturally conservative of the Mayan groups. Protected by their hostile environment, over many centuries they maintain autonomy fr…
In this Festschrift celebrating the career of Thom H. Dunning, Jr., selected researchers in theoretical chemistry present research highlights on major developments in the field. Originally published in the journal Theoretical Chemistry Accounts, these outstanding contributions are now available in a hardcover print format, as well as a special electronic edition. This volume provides valuable c…
Sesuai dengan namanya, buku singkat ini dimaksudkan untuk memberikan pengenalan fisiologi manusia kepada para mahasiswa di berbagai cabang ilmu teknik dan bagaimana pendekatan yang dapat dilakukan oleh mereka yang memiliki latar belakang ilmu teknik. Buku ini juga akan memberikan pengantar bagi mahasiswa di bidang ilmu fisika lainnya tentang pendekatan yang dapat digunakan dalam memahami dan me…
Dalam proses belajar fisika, saya menjadi, seperti siswa fisika lainnya, akrab dengan banyak persamaan fundamental dan solusinya, tetapi saya tidak benar-benar dapat melihat hubungannya. Saya sangat senang ketika saya memahami bahwa sebagian besar persamaan tersebut memiliki asal usul yang sama: Simetri. Bagi saya, hal yang paling indah dalam fisika adalah ketika sesuatu yang tidak dapat dipaha…
