Human Evolution

Human Evolution

Steven J. C. Gaulin

Cognella, Inc
2016
nidottu
Human Evolution: Processes and Adaptations is designed for introductory courses in biological anthropology. The book develops the theory and methods of the modern evolutionist and, with many clear examples, shows how to apply them to make sense of the biological traits that define our species. Featuring a scientific, issue-oriented perspective on human evolution – how it works, what it can and cannot do, and what it reveals about human nature – this textbook uses engaging analogies to make current research accessible to beginning students. This fourth edition includes new or expanded chapters on fossils and on genetics.More than a mere survey of the requisite topics, this book weaves the threads of natural selection, genetics, adaptation, speciation, classification, fossils, and human behavior into a coherent picture where each element usefully illuminates the others. In an approachable 250 pages, students learn not just the subject matter of biological anthropology, but acquire an evolutionary tool kit they can use to explore any biological question. Use of this tool kit is modeled through analyses that are of topical interest to the students, such as sex and sexuality. Human Evolution is a fresh, stand-alone text with key concepts depicted in more than 90 illustrations, and is designed to stimulate instructors and students alike.

Portfolio and Investment Analysis with SAS

Portfolio and Investment Analysis with SAS

John B Guerard; Ziwei Wang; Ganlin Xu

SAS Institute
2019
pokkari
Choose statistically significant stock selection models using SAS(R) Portfolio and Investment Analysis with SAS(R): Financial Modeling Techniques for Optimization is an introduction to using SAS to choose statistically significant stock selection models, create mean-variance efficient portfolios, and aggressively invest to maximize the geometric mean. Based on the pioneering portfolio selection techniques of Harry Markowitz and others, this book shows that maximizing the geometric mean maximizes the utility of final wealth. The authors draw on decades of experience as teachers and practitioners of financial modeling to bridge the gap between theory and application. Using real-world data, the book illustrates the concept of risk-return analysis and explains why intelligent investors prefer stocks over bonds. The authors first explain how to build expected return models based on expected earnings data, valuation ratios, and past stock price performance using PROC ROBUSTREG. They then show how to construct and manage portfolios by combining the expected return and risk models. Finally, readers learn how to perform hypothesis testing using Bayesian methods to add confidence when data mining from large financial databases.

It's 1998. The turn of the millennia is near. Interior Designer Lois Pushkin's sole goal in life is to make it in the unforgiving, competitive design climate of Los Angeles, California and prove her mother wrong. Escaping the Pacific Northwest for a sunnier climate, Lois begins to work her way up in one of the best architecture firms in the city. When her aunt dies, Lois inherits an apartment building and thinks she's cashed in on her golden goose. After quitting her job, Lois starts her own firm in a trendy, expensive location believing the apartments are going to pay her way. Then, her crazy aunt's other shoe drops and Lois is instantly cash poor and asset rich. With no big money clients, her new design firm is a breath away from all falling apart. After the perfect job drops into her lap, Lois is finally off and running to make a name for herself with the celebrity jet set. Everything is coming together - work, love, money - until it all comes to a screeching halt when her best paying, most famous client dies. The LAPD labels the death as a suicide, until Lois becomes a Person of Interest and the shoes really start dropping.

Contact Problems

Contact Problems

L. A. Galin

Springer
2010
nidottu
L.A. Galin’s book on contact problems is a remarkable work. Actually there are two books: the first, published in 1953 deals with contact problems in the classical theory of elasticity; this is the one that was translated into English in 1961. The second book, published in 1980, included the first, and then had new sections on contact problems for viscoelastic materials, and rough contact problems; this section has not previously been translated into English. In this new translation, the original text and the mathematical analysis have been completely revised, new material has been added, and the material appearing in the 1980 Russian translation has been completely rewritten. In addition there are three essays by students of Galin, bringing the analysis up to date.

The DICE Approach

The DICE Approach

Helen C. Kales; Laura N. Gitlin; Constantine G. Lyketsos

Michigan Publishing Services
2019
nidottu
Internationally renowned and now available to the public! The DICE Approach™ is the leading evidence-informed method for assessing and managing the behavioral symptoms of dementia. The creators of The DICE Approach™ have written an easy-to-understand and use manual to help guide family or facility caregivers through the use of the method. There are an estimated 16 million informal (family or friend) caregivers of people living with dementia in the US and those numbers will increase rapidly as baby boomers age. While dementia is often thought of by the general public as a “memory” disorder”, memory problems are almost universally accompanied by behavioral symptoms including depression, anxiety, apathy, hallucinations, agitation, aggression and many more. One or more of these behaviors will affect nearly every person with dementia over the course of the illness, causing one of the most difficult, stressful and costly aspects of care, and often, stress, burden and depression in caregivers. These symptoms are most often treated with psychiatric medications, but in many cases, we are merely sedating the person with dementia, rather than dealing with the problems and triggers underlying the behavioral symptom. Recognizing this critical gap in care, Drs. Kales, Gitlin and Lyketsos created and published The DICE Approach™ in 2014 in the form of a research paper. The approach was designed to be an easy to use, step by step method for assessing and managing behaviors in dementia. DICE stands for Describe, Investigate, Create, and Evaluate. It is an adaptation of the reasoning process used by dementia behavior specialists as well as in numerous research trials involving training family caregivers to spot behavioral triggers and to use behavioral management skills. Since then, The DICE Approach™ has gained national and international attention and is now used in many dementia clinics, hospitals and long-term care facilities. Using feedback from caregivers trained in the method, Dr. Kales, along with Drs. Gitlin and Lyketsos, have created the official manual for The DICE Approach™. Its 124 color pages provide expert training in each step of the approach. In addition, the manual contains easy to understand information about brain changes and behaviors in dementia, commonly used medications, how to build and interact with your support team, and how caregivers can care for themselves during the chaos and stress of caring for others. This is the essential guidebook for anyone who cares for a person living with dementia whether at home or within a facility.

This, the fifth and final volume in the Trinity Tales series, completes a cycle that began with tales from the 1960s. It invites readers to step into the world of Trinity College as it was in the first decade of this century through the reflections of students who attended the university during those years. Within its pages lie the stories of twenty-eight graduates from a mix of diverse backgrounds whose experiences may dispel the myths of what it means to be a ‘Trinity student’. The collection reveals the rapidly changing world of the early 2000s. This was a time of the internet revolution, when social media first affected student life, when mobile phones and laptops became ubiquitous, when handwritten work was passing into history, when The Buttery closed its doors – and all this coming against the backdrop of an overheating then imploding Irish economy. This kaleidoscope of recollections captures a student body in transformation and features stories of personal discovery and achievement against the odds. For some it proved a life-changing era when sexual, racial or class barriers were confronted. This volume concludes a remarkable half-century journey, portraying the lives of others, and of ourselves.
