Overview: Introduces general robotic micromanipulation methods of handling small organisms.Includes use cases of zebrafish larva.Summarizes emerging issues on robotic micromanipulation for research and applicat.This book offers readers a series of robotic methods for manipulating zebrafish larva, one of the most popular model vertebrates widely used in biomedical research and clinical applications. The authors leverage advanced control theories, image processing algorithms, and artificial intelligence to establish a robot-assisted automated or semi-automated zebrafish larva-targeted micromanip

Overview: This volume is based on the proceedings of an Advanced Study Institute (ASI) sponsored by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) held October 1984 in Corfu, Greece. The meeting received finan­ cial support from the United States Department of Energy and the United States National Cancer Institute. A plethora of recent developments in the molecular biology of DNA are leading to new ideas concerning how DNA alterations might be involved in the mechanism of radiation carcinogenesis. Evidence is accumulating that genetic sequences, known as oncogenes, are involved in the translati

Overview: Covers the breadth of remote sensing that is applicable to archaeology including satellite images, GIS, ground-penetrating radar, and maritime settings.The cases included are international and covers Over the last few decades, a revolution took place in our ability to observe and “explore” our home planet using spaceborne and airborne remote sensing instruments. This revolution resulted from the new capability of observing on a large, regional and global, scale surface patterns and features, and from using multispectral instruments to observe surface signatures not visible to the hum

Overview: Advanced exploitation of ESA satellite data in the framework of climate change.Broad overview of Earth System Science applications.Presents leading-edge research activities of ESA‘s young scientists.ITo better understand the various processes and interactions that govern the Earth system and to determine whether recent human-induced changes could ultimately de-stabilise its dynamics, both natural system variability and the consequences of human activities have to be observed and quantified.In this context, the European Space Agency (ESA) published in 2006 the document “The Changing E

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind.

Through participant observation, ethnographic study, and in-depth qualitative interviews—often occurring during times of protest or even violent action—this book studies a variety of urban

Overview: Includes a substantial addition of unique and enriching exercises.Exists as one of the few Works to combine both the geometric parts of Riemannian geometry and analytic aspects of the theory.Presents .Intended for a one year course, this text serves as a single source, introducing readers to the important techniques and theorems, while also containing enough background on advanced topics to appeal to those students wishing to specialize in Riemannian geometry. This is one of the few Works to combine both the geometric parts of  Riemannian geometry and the analytic aspects of the theo

Overview: "Rheumatic Disease" is the second monograph in a new series on management and treatment in major clinical subspecialties and patient groups. Further volumes will be published over the next few years. Each book is complete in its own right. The whole series, however, has been prepared to fill a gap, perceived by the publisher, myself and the volume authors, between standard text­ books of medicine and therapeutics and research reviews, sympo­ sia‘ and original articles in specialist fields. Each volume aims to provide a concise, up to date account of treatment in its subject area with

Overview: Provides a solid introduction in regression-based normative methods without being overly technical.Comes with a comprehensive open-source software package to help efficiently derive regression-based n.Over the last 20 years, so-called regression-based normative methods have become increasingly popular. In this approach, regression models for the mean and the residual variance structure are used to derive the normative data. The regression-based normative approach has some important advantages over the traditional normative approach, e.g., it allows for deriving more fine-grained norm
