Overview: A valuable source of information for scientists in plant sciences and genomics as well as in applied fields of agriculture and crop plant breeding.Presents recent advancements in increasing crop produWith the predicted increase of the human population and the subsequent need for larger food supplies, root health in crop plants could play a major role in providing sustainable highly productive crops that can cope with global climate changes. While the essentiality of roots and their relation to plant performance is broadly recognized, less is known about their role in plant growth and

Overview: In this volume, archaeologists offer a new direction for burialresearch by expanding the models for mortuary analysis from asite-specific to a regional level. Contributors explore how regionalmortuary approaches allow the introduction of new questions aboutpeer polity interactions and regional alliances-extendingtraditional settlement system and exchange analyses. This volumefeatures case studies examining mortuary sites as components of thearchaeological landscape.978-1-4899-1312-8978-1-4899-1310-4Series ISSN 1568-2722 Series E-ISSN 2730-6984

Overview: This volume contains the lectures presented at the mini-symposium on "Micromechanics" held in conjunction with the CSME Mechanical Engineer­ ing Forum 1990 between the 3rd and 8th June, 1990 at the University of Toronto, Canada. The expressed purpose of this symposium was to discuss some recent developments in the Micromechanics of Materials and how ad­ vances in this field now relate to the solution of practical engineer­ ing problems. Due to the time limit set for this section of the Engineer­ ing Forum as well as the restriction on the number of papers to be pre­ sented, it was no

Overview: First study of scientific reasoning during the BSE epidemic in the UK.Comprehensive discussion of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies that is accessible to non-scientific readers.LongitudinaIn 1986, the emergence of a novel brain disease in British cattle presented a unique challenge to scientists. How that challenge was addressed has been the subject of a public inquiry and numerous academic studies conducted to date. However, none of these investigations has sought to examine the reasoning of scientists during this critical period in the public health of the UK. Using con

Overview: What This Book Is This book is about radar. It will teach you the essentials of radar, the underlying principles. It is not like an engineering handbook which pro­ vides detailed design equations without explaining either derivation or rationale. It is not like a graduate school textbook which may be abstruse and esoteric to the point of incomprehensibility. And it is not like an anthology of popular magazine articles which may be gaudy but superfi­ cial. It is an attempt to distill the very complex, rich technology of radar into its fundamentals, tying them to the laws of nature on
