Invertebrate Medicine By Gregory A. Lewbart
2006 | 360 Pages | ISBN: 0813818443 | PDF | 15 MB
I bought this book hoping that it would help me out with the invertebrate managerie I've collected over the years for my family. Not a month would go by that some medical mishap would occur within my collection. A Tricladid would sprain his ankle, an Isopod would be horsing around with my Portuguese Man O War and get stung, or just the simple colds and coughs that Sea Cucumbers never seem to be rid of. In the past, let's say that my Cuttlefish gets pinkeye, there was absolutely no where around here that I could go for help. I once took an asthmatic Flat Worm to the local vet here and he couldn't help me. Even the almighty Internet didn't have the answers for me. Then a friend of mine, who raises and races Clams, turned me on to this book. It is a bit pricey, but it's saved me so much time and money in the long run. Now, I can take care of most medical emergencies here at home. Just the other day I referenced the book and helped my Giant African Slug give birth to a beautiful baby boy slug. There are wonderful illustrations that help guide you in the treatment of MCL sprains in Sea Sponges, corrective eyeglasses for Apple Snails, and bronchitis in Gelatinous Zooplankton. Truly a boon for lovers of mushy animals.

Introduction to Finite Element Method -: With Interdisciplinary Examples by Prof. Dr. N. S. V. Kameswara Rao
English | January 11, 2021 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B08SGWNML4 | 287 pages | Rar (PDF, AZW3) | 17 Mb
This book is aimed at presenting the theory and practice of Finite Element Method (FEM) in a manner which makes it is easy to learn the concepts, analysis, and methodology of FEM through simple derivations and worked out examples in interdisciplinary areas. While there are many advanced books and manuals on the subject, there are very few books illustrating the method through simple examples and computations. The emphasis is on hands on learning of the FEM through manually worked out examples. The book consists of 6 chapters covering the subject matter with several worked out examples in interdisciplinary areas. FEM has become a powerful tool for solving complex problems in engineering and sciences in the past several decades. This is so since the computational procedures involved are very general and can be formulated in variational and (or) weighted residual forms. The method involves physical discretisation of the domain into finite elements, evaluation of element characteristics and re-assembling the domain represented by the element characteristics and then solving the resulting system response equations. The discretisation of the domain is only physical and mathematical treatment can be as exact as may be required either through improved element characteristics and (or) through refined discretisation (increased and smaller sized elements - (refined mesh). This makes the FEM superior and conceptually different from other numerical methods. The above topics are covered in the book with examples of analysis of simple structures such as rods, trusses, beams and beam columns, frames and elastic solids. Effects of temperature, initial strains, loads and boundary conditions on these structures are also illustrated. Chapters on Applications of the method to Foundation analysis and design, and Flow through porous media along with manually worked out examples are included. The book also presents the background details needed for various applications such as in foundation analysis and design, elasticity, seepage studies etc. The main features of the book are summarised as follows.

Introduction to Brain and Behavior By Bryan Kolb
2005 | 622 Pages | ISBN: 0716770695 | DJVU | 17 MB
Drawing on decades of teaching and research experience, Bryan Kolb and Ian Whishaw offer a proven framework for exploring the biological basis of behavior. Each chapter of An Introduction to Brain and Behavior explores a specific question asked by working neuroscientists and students (i.e. "Why do we have a brain?" "How is the nervous system organized?"). This approach brings coherence to a vast subject, and helps students understand what information is important as their study of brain and behavior progresses chapter to chapter.
Interpersonal Cognition By Mark W. Baldwin PhD
2004 | 481 Pages | ISBN: 159385112X | PDF | 3 MB
Presenting state-of-the-art research from leading investigators, this volume examines the processes by which people understand their interpersonal experiences. Provided are fresh perspectives on how individuals glean social knowledge from past relationships and apply it in the here and now. Also explored are the effects of biases and expectancies about significant others on relationship satisfaction and personal well-being. Broad in scope, the book integrates findings from experimental social psychology with insights from developmental, personality, and clinical psychology. Throughout, chapters strike an appropriate balance between theory and method, offering an understanding of the core issues involved as well as the tools needed to study them.
