This book focuses on the representation of nature in science education in schools in the United States. Given the importance of our relationship with the nonhuman world for the fate of our planet, this work gives special attention to the representation, instruction, and understanding of the relationship between the social and the natural world. It also proposes an alternative, sustainability science-based conceptual framework for ecology and e...

Rapeseed-mustard is the third important oilseed crop in the world after soybean (Glycine max) and palm oil (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.). Brassica (rapeseed-mustard) is the second most important edible oil seed crop in India after groundnut and accounts for nearly 30 per cent of the total oilseeds production, when compared to other edible oils, the rapeseed-mustard oil has the lowest amount of harmful saturated fatty acid. It also contains adequat...

This book is intended to be an introductory text for engineers and physicists who are likely to be involved in the area of optical fiber communications. Its purpose is to provide the student with an explanatory text that can al so be used for "self-study". Thus, key theoretical resul ts have been rather thoroughly derived, and detailed explanations have been given wherever cer­ tain steps have been excluded. Some of the derivations are in new ...

This book presents studies of complexity in the context of nonequilibrium phenomena using theory, modeling, simulations, and experiments, both in the laboratory and in nature.

The structural knowledge of transmembrane proteins is difficult to attain experimentally, as the wet-lab experimental methods are time consuming, expensive, require good infrastructure and contain high false positive results. Hence, the need of in-silico methods for protein secondary structure prediction is being driven by above listed limitations. Over a number of years, various transmembrane region predictors has been developed using computa...

Reconstruction of the maxillofacial region poses tremendous challenges to the maxillofacial surgeon. Recent advances with the use of Platelet rich plasma(PRP) in the last decade or so has provided the maxillofacial surgeon and other reconstructive surgeons a complete new dimension.Athough a varied number of reconstructive options are available to the clinician, most of them are allogenic.Platelet rich plasma (PRP) overcomes such shortcomings i...

The book presents details on the aliphatic foldamers', with a special emphasis on the peptides with homogeneous backbones (ã- and ä-peptides), peptides with heterogeneous backbones (from alternating á-, â-, ã-, ä- and å-amino acids), peptides with backbone modifications (aminoxy-, hydrazine- and ureido peptides), peptides from sugar amino acids and methods for conformational analysis. The material presented in the book is useful for the resear...

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 196. Extreme Events and Natural Hazards: The Complexity Perspective examines recent developments in complexity science that provide a new approach to understanding extreme events.

Come sopravvivere, se tutto intorno a te va in pezzi e sei solo un bambino?, si chiede Ajay, voce narrante di questo nuovo libro di Akhil Sharma. E si dà una risposta precisa: imparando a scriverne. Se la fatica dei giorni diventa materia narrativa, se le persone diventano personaggi, se una biografia famigliare diventa un romanzo, forse chi lo scrive riuscirà a sopravvivere e, chissà, a vivere. Inizia così ad assemblare ricordi, a captare umo...

In this book almost all the aspects related to basics of Agriculture has been covered with the balanced approach. Language of the book is s...

The Fourth Assessment Report of IPCC having clinched in 2007 the evidence of global warming on account of anthropogenic activities, backed with scientific data gathered and analyzed globally, has made it mandatory world over to focus efforts on delineation of the anticipated adverse impacts of global warming on regional temperature and moisture regimes and the linked hydrologic, climatic and biospheric processes. First and foremost is the requ...

PARP Inhibitors for Cancer Therapy provides a comprehensive overview of the role of PARP—poly ADP ribose polymerase—in cancer therapy. The volume covers the history of the discovery of PARP and its role in DNA repair. Additionally, it describes the discovery of the PARP family, and includes a discussion of other DNA maintenance-associated PARPs. As well, the volume features a section on the accessible chemistry behind the development of inhibi...

Put together to honour one of the most influential philosophers in recent times, Mrinal Miri, this book mirrors some of his concerns but goes beyond the format of a festschrift by updating the status of enquiry in the fields of philosophy, politics, literature and society.
