Perspectives in Ethology

Perspectives in Ethology

P.P.G. Bateson; Peter H. Klopfer

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
2011
nidottu
This volume is subtitled "Alternatives" because we wanted to devote at least a part of it to the alternative ways in which members of the same species behave in a given situation. Not so very long ago the supposition among many ethologists was that if one animal behaved in a particular way, then all other members of the same age and sex would do the same. Any differences in the ethogram between individuals were to be attributed to "normal biological variation. " Such thinking is less common nowadays after the discovery of dramatic differences between members of the same species which are of the same age and sex. Alternative modes of behavior, though now familiar, raise particularly interesting questions about current function, evolutionary history, and mechanism. Do the differences rep­ resent equally satisfactory solutions to a given problem? Are some of the solutions the best that those animals can do, given their body size and general condition? Is an alternative solution adopted because so many other individuals have taken the first? If so, do the frequencies reached at equilibrium depend on differential survival of genetically distinct types or do they result from decisions taken by individual animals? If the alternatives are induced during development, as are the castes of social insects, what is required for such triggering? The questions about alternative ways of behaving are addressed in some of the chapters in this volume.

The Caregiver's Toolbox

The Caregiver's Toolbox

Carolyn P. Hartley; Peter Wong

Taylor Trade Publishing
2015
pokkari
Millions of Americans are or will be amateur caregivers for ill spouses, parents, or friends. Caregivers today, more than ever, use technology to help manage schedules, medication routines and pharmacy reminders, legal and financial affairs, as well as travel and expenses. Yet recent insurance options and health care’s emerging digital world make for an overwhelming, complex process. If you are one of the 64 million current caregivers, could you access your parents’ critical documents in an emergency, using their user IDs and passwords? Do you know how often your parents or parents-in-law are taking medications, how often your loved one goes to the doctor, and how to be involved in medical and life decisions? Statistics show 85 percent of caregivers are not trained in caregiving, so many people are likely winging it, picking up pieces of information here and advice there. The Caregiver’s Toolbox is your guide to cool apps and online tools, insider tips on how to reduce your medical bills, your privacy rights as a caregiver, where to go for free and low-cost help, and much more. It clearly shows which tools will relieve your stress, and those that may add stress. The authors dedicate much of their professional lives to helping people navigate the health care matrix.

Bacterial Integrative Mobile Genetic Elements

Bacterial Integrative Mobile Genetic Elements

Adam P. Roberts; Peter Mullany

CRC Press
2013
sidottu
As our understanding of mobile genetic elements continues to grow we are gaining a deeper appreciation of their importance in shaping the bacterial genome and in the properties they confer to their bacterial hosts. These include, but are by no means limited to, resistance to antibiotics, and heavy metals, toxin production and increased virulence, production of antibiotics and the ability to utilize a diverse range of metabolic substrates. We are also gaining an understanding of diversity of these elements and their interactions with each other; a property which continually complicates any attempt to classify them. We are learning more about the molecular mechanisms by which they translocate to new genomic sites both within genomes and between different bacteria. This book provides a timely, state of the art update on the properties of an important selection of different bacterial integrative mobile genetic elements and the myriad of different ways in which they move and influence the biology of the host bacterium. The chapters are all written by authors who have undertaken pioneering work in their respective fields, making this book vital reading for all who are interested in the biology of bacteria and the mobile elements they carry.

Bird Keeping as a Source of Lung Cancer and Other Human Diseases

Bird Keeping as a Source of Lung Cancer and Other Human Diseases

Peter A.J. Holst; P. Zwart

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH Co. K
1991
nidottu
Birdkeeping is becoming increasingly popular, but could it threaten good health? This book discusses the evi- dence suggesting that keeping pet birds is a strong risk factor for lung cancer. Its relation to a number of other endpoints, including death before age 60 and spontaneous abortion, is also examined. In addition, the book looks at the diseases that can be transmitted from birds to man - a fairly unknown field in general medicine. For instance, birds are a source of airborne particles that can cause allergic reactions in humans. People who keep birds as pets tend to have a higher incidence of shortness of breath, colds, sore throats and other flu-like symptoms than those in households without birds. The evidence presented in this book is the result of a ten-year general practice survey. Some recommendations for future research are given.

sidottu
As the basis for this book, the authors have analyzed more than 100,000 ultrasound examinations performed between 1995 and 2008 in patients with thyroid and parathyroid disease, as well as many thousands of diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound-guided minimally invasive procedures. The opening chapters include discussion of current ultrasound techniques, pitfalls, and ultrasound examination of the thyroid in children. Detailed attention is then devoted to findings in the normal thyroid and in the presence of diffuse and focal changes. Further chapters focus on such topics as the role of ultrasound after thyroid surgery and ultrasound diagnosis of parathyroid disease, recurrent goiter, and neck masses. Ultrasound-guided minimally invasive techniques, such as fine-needle aspiration biopsy and percutaneous laser ablation, are considered in depth. This up-to-date and richly illustrated book will interest and assist specialists in ultrasound diagnostics, radiologists, endocrinologists, and neck surgeons.

Topics in Mathematical Fluid Mechanics

Topics in Mathematical Fluid Mechanics

Peter Constantin; Arnaud Debussche; Giovanni P. Galdi; Michael Ružicka; Gregory Seregin

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH Co. K
2013
nidottu
This volume brings together five contributions to mathematical fluid mechanics, a classical but still very active research field which overlaps with physics and engineering. The contributions cover not only the classical Navier-Stokes equations for an incompressible Newtonian fluid, but also generalized Newtonian fluids, fluids interacting with particles and with solids, and stochastic models. The questions addressed in the lectures range from the basic problems of existence of weak and more regular solutions, the local regularity theory and analysis of potential singularities, qualitative and quantitative results about the behavior in special cases, asymptotic behavior, statistical properties and ergodicity.

Werkstoffe der Elektrotechnik

Werkstoffe der Elektrotechnik

Henricus P.J. Wijn; Peter Dullenkopf

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH Co. K
2014
nidottu
Dieses Buch befaßt sich mit den Grundlagen der Eigenschaften der Werk­ stoffe der Elektrotechnik und soll dem Leser einen Begriff über Anwendungs­ möglichkeiten der verschiedenen Werkstoffe vermitteln. Obwohl in erster Linie für Universitätsstudenten der Fachrichtung Elektrotechnik gedacht, wird es wahr­ scheinlich allen nutzen können, deren Interesse an Bauelementen der Elektrotechnik sich nicht allein darauf beschränkt, daß das Bauelement in der Schaltung richtig funktioniert, was zweifellos das Wichtigste ist, sondern die darüber hinaus ihre Neugier nach dem Verständnis des physikalischen Vorganges im Werkstoff be­ friedigen möchten. Das Verhalten von dielektrischen, magnetischen und Halbleiter-Werkstoffen in elektrischen und magnetischen Feldern wird behandelt. Es wurde davon ab­ gesehen, viele spezielle Werkstoffeigenschaften zu nennen, weil diese oft nur in Sondergebieten der Elektrotechnik eine Rolle spielen. Das Buch ist mehr oder weniger ein gedrucktes Manuskript einer Vorlesung "Werkstoffe der Elektro­ technik", wodurch auch die Reihenfolge der Themen gegeben ist. Wir glauben, daß es nicht Aufgabe einer Planvorlesung ist, den Studenten mit einer Vielzahl von allen möglichen Eigenschaften von Werkstoffen zu konfrontieren. Im Vordergrund sollte das Verständnis der Zusammenhänge zwischen den verschiedenen Werkstoff­ eigenschaften stehen. Die Studenten sollen mit den Grundlagen, Begriffen und Größenordnungen vertraut gemacht werden, damit es ihnen möglich wird, die Funktionen der Werkstoffe in Bauelementen der Elektrotechnik zu verstehen, und, wenn sie wollen, auch ihre Kenntnisse mit Hilfe der Fachliteratur auf dem Gebiet der Festkörperelektronik zu erweitern.

Mentalization-Based Treatment for Pathological Narcissism

Mentalization-Based Treatment for Pathological Narcissism

Robert P. Drozek; Brandon Unruh; Anthony Bateman; Peter Fonagy

Oxford University Press
2023
nidottu
Despite the growing cultural and empirical interest in narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder, therapists often feel confused and overwhelmed about how to help patients struggling with these problems. “Mentalization” refers to the ability to read, access, and reflect on mental states in oneself and other people. Research shows that people with narcissism can suffer from extreme difficulties mentalizing themselves and others, leading to instability in their mood, interpersonal relationships, and sense of self. Mentalization-based Treatment for Pathological Narcissism: A Handbook provides much needed guidance about how to effectively help patients suffering from narcissistic vulnerabilities. Mentalization-based treatment, or MBT, is an evidence-based therapy for patients with personality disorders, helping patients to reflect on mental states in themselves and others, resulting in significant improvements in everyday functioning. This book reviews the deficits in mentalizing associated with pathological narcissism, describes how to give the diagnosis of narcissism to patients, outlines how to structure therapy sessions, and offers step-by-step techniques about “what to do and say” when sitting with these patients. Utilizing vibrant case examples and verbatim scripts from actual psychotherapies, the authors explain how to address the most common clinical challenges associated with narcissism: disconnection from emotions; impairments in empathy; rigid thinking; monologues and intellectualization; unstable self-esteem; and tendencies to blame other people for disruptions in their relationships.
