Overview: One of the most striking and persistent ways humans dominateEarth is by changing land-cover as we settle a region. Much of ourecological understanding about this process comes from studies ofbirds, yet the existing literature is scattered, mostly decades old,and rarely synthesized or standardized. .The twenty-seven contributions authored by leaders in the fields ofavian and urban ecology present a unique summary of current researchon birds in settled environments ranging from wildlands to exurban,rural to urban. Ecologists, land managers, wildlife managers,evolutionary ecologists, ur

Overview: First book to explore different aspects of systems biology and their application to the development of the adverse outcome pathway framework.Combines all computational and molecular tools together forSocial pressure to minimize the use of animal testing, the ever-increasing concern on animal welfare, and the need for more human-relevant and more predictive toxicity tests are some of the drivers for new approaches to chemical screening. This book focuses on The Adverse Outcome Pathway, an analytical construct that describes a sequential chain of causally linked events at different lev

Overview: Covers a variety of applications and approaches in the field of solar energy.Discusses direct applications such as solar towers and solar energy for food processing.Provides details of flat-plate-type.This book focuses on solar-energy-based renewable energy systems and discusses the generation of electric power using solar photovoltaics, as well as some new techniques, such as solar towers, for both residential and commercial needs. Such systems have played an important role in the move towards low-emission and sustainable energy sources. The book covers a variety of applications, su

Overview: It is the first complete exposition of the topic.Has applications to the study of two long-standing conjectures.It is self-contained.Includes supplementary material: This volume deals with the theory of finite topological spaces and itsrelationship with the homotopy and simple homotopy theory of polyhedra.The interaction between their intrinsic combinatorial and topologicalstructures makes finite spaces a useful tool for studying problems inTopology, Algebra and Geometry from a new perspective. In particular,the methods developed in this manuscript are used to study Quillen‘sconjectu

Overview: This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 21st International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming (ICALP 94), held at Jerusalem in July 1994. ICALP is an annual conference sponsored by the European Association on Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS). The proceedings contains 48 refereed papers selected from 154 submissions and 4 invited papers. The papers cover the whole range of theoretical computer science; they are organized in sections on theory of computation, automata and computation models, expressive power, automata and concurrency, pattern matching, data st

Overview: Consists of selected contributions to the highly competitive meeting on the Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics WAFR.Robot algorithms are abstractions of computational processes that control or reason about motion and perception in the physical world. Because actions in the physical world are subject to physical laws and geometric constraints, the design and analysis of robot algorithms raise a unique combination of questions in control theory, computational and differential geometry, and computer science. Algorithms serve as a unifying theme in the multi-disciplinary field of roboti

Overview: Offers a much-needed resource for reflection on the nature and benefits of African legal theory.Points out the significance of African Legal Theory to the myriad of contemporary global challenges - wa.The book is a collection of essays, which aim to situate African legal theory in the context of the myriad of contemporary global challenges; from the prevalence of war to the misery of poverty and disease to the crises of the environment. Apart from being problems that have an indelible African mark on them, a common theme that runs throughout the essays in this book is that African le

Overview: The 1995 International Cryogenic Materials Conference (lCMC) was held at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio, in conjunction with the Cryogenic Engineering Conference (CEC) on July 17-21. The interdependent subjects of the two conferences attracted more than eight hundred participants, who came to share the latest advances in low-temperature materials science and technology. They also came for the important by products of the conferences: identification of new research areas, of collaborative research possibilities, and the establishment and renewal of exploratio

Overview: The book aims to review knowledge on the disorders of eating behaviour and body composition in some of the non-primate higher animals and to relate these to similar conditions in humans. With advances in understanding the nature of these disorders and their biological basis, it seems timely to assess what cross-species comparisons can tell us about the general underlying factors at work. This may also help to delineate what may be a general biological basis that humans share with their higher animal comrade species and what may distinguish human from non-human, particularly in a cult

Overview: One of the most intriguing problems of modern number theory is to relate the arithmetic of abelian varieties to the special values of associated L-functions. A very precise conjecture has been formulated for elliptic curves by Birc~ and Swinnerton-Dyer and generalized to abelian varieties by Tate. The numerical evidence is quite encouraging. A weakened form of the conjectures has been verified for CM elliptic curves by Coates and Wiles, and recently strengthened by K. Rubin. But a general proof of the conjectures seems still to be a long way off. A few years ago, B. Mazur [26] proved
