David S. Moore

This book offers historical and state-of-the-art molecular spectroscopy methods and applications in dynamic compression science, aimed at the upcoming generation in physical sciences involved in studies of materials at extremes. It begins with addressing the motivation for probing shock compressed molecular materials with spectroscopy and then reviews historical developments and the basics of the various spectroscopic methods that have been utilized. Introductory chapters are devoted to fundamentals of molecular spectroscopy, overviews of dynamic compression technologies, and diagnostics used to quantify the shock compression state during spectroscopy experiments. Subsequent chapters describe all the molecular spectroscopic methods used in shock compression research to date, including theory, experimental details for application to shocked materials, and difficulties that can be encountered. Each of these chapters also includes a section comparing static compression results. The last chapter offers an outlook for the future, which leads the next-generation readers to tackling persistent problems.

Martian Red Blood - and - Lunar LabyrinthBy: David S. MooreMartian Red BloodJason Furbach of the Boston Police Department is asked to investigate an auto accident resulting in the death of the CEO of an interplanetary shipping company. But his investigation soon leads to the first manned base on Mars where a murder has taken place-- and the two deaths appear to be related.Lunar LabyrinthAn astronaut dies on Moon Base One and FBI detective Jason Furbach is sent to the Moon to investigate. But he soon learns that his wife and children back on Earth will be killed unless he lies about what he has discovered.About the AuthorDavid S. Moore graduated from the University of Washington, B.S. 1971. He taught math and programming at the high school level for several years before leaving teaching to work in computer programming. He retired in 2020 after more than 30 years in the software industry and is now concentrating on writing. Moore has been married since 1993 and has two adult children.https: //david-seldon-moore.blog/

Now available with Macmillan’s new online learning tool Achieve, Introduction to the Practice of Statistics, 10th edition, prepares students for the application of statistics in the real world by using current examples and encouraging exploration into data analysis and interpretation. The text enforces statistical thinking by providing learning objectives and linked exercises to help students master core statistics concepts and think beyond the calculations. Achieve for Introduction to the Practice of Statistics integrates outcome-based learning objectives and a wealth of examples with assessment in an easy-to-use interface. Students are provided with rich digital resources that solidify conceptual understanding, as well as homework problems with hints, answer-specific feedback, and a fully worked solution.

Moore uses a conceptual approach to statistics and shows students how to use these ideas to think about the statistical claims they see.

See statisics through the eyes of a biologist as Practice of Statistics in the Life Sciences utilizes examples and exercises curated from across the life sciences in order to connect you to the material.

Why do we grow up to look, act, and feel as we do? Through most of the twentieth century, scientists and laypeople answered this question by referring to two factors alone: our experiences and our genes. But recent discoveries about how genes work have revealed a new way to understand the developmental origins of our characteristics. These discoveries have emerged from the new science of behavioral epigenetics--and just as the whole world has now heard of DNA, "epigenetics" will be a household word in the near future. Behavioral epigenetics is important because it explains how our experiences get under our skin and influence the activity of our genes. Because of breakthroughs in this field, we now know that the genes we're born with don't determine if we'll end up easily stressed, likely to fall ill with cancer, or possessed of a powerful intellect. Instead, what matters is what our genes do. And because research in behavioral epigenetics has shown that our experiences influence how our genes function, this work has changed how scientists think about nature, nurture, and human development. Diets, environmental toxins, parenting styles, and other environmental factors all influence genetic activity through epigenetic mechanisms; this discovery has the potential to alter how doctors treat diseases, and to change how mental health professionals treat conditions from schizophrenia to post-traumatic stress disorder. These advances could also force a reworking of the theory of evolution that dominated twentieth-century biology, and even change how we think about human nature itself. In spite of the importance of this research, behavioral epigenetics is still relatively unknown to non-biologists. The Developing Genome is an introduction to this exciting new discipline; it will allow readers without a background in biology to learn about this work and its revolutionary implications.
