Genomics has revolutionized biological research over the course of the last two decades. Genome maps of key agricultural species have offered increased understanding of the structure, organization, and evolution of animal genomes. Building upon this foundation, researchers are now emphasizing research on genome function. Published with the World AquacultureSociety,Functional Genomics in Aquaculture looks at the advances in this field as they directly relate to key traits and species in aquaculture production.Functional Genomics in Aquaculture opens with two chapters that provide a useful general introduction to the field of functional genomics. The second section of the book focuses on key production traits such as growth, development, reproduction, nutrition, and physiological response to stress and diseases. The final five chapters focus on a variety of key aquaculture species. Examples looking at our understanding of the functional genomes of salmonids, Mediterranean sea bass, Atlantic cod, catfish, shrimp, and molluscs, are included in the book.Providing valuable insights and discoveries into the functional genomes of finfish and shellfish species, Functional Genomics in Aquaculture, will be an invaluable resource to researchers and professionals in aquaculture, genetics, and animal science.Content: Chapter 1 Functional Genomics Research in Aquaculture: Principles and General Approaches (pages 1-40): Shikai Liu, Yu Zhang, Fanyue Sun, Yanliang Jiang, Ruijia Wang, Chao Li, Jiaren Zhang and Zhanjiang (john) LiuChapter 2 Genomic Resources for Functional Genomics in Aquaculture Species (pages 41-77): Jiaren Zhang, Yanliang Jiang, Fanyue Sun, Yu Zhang, Ruijia Wang, Chao Li, Shikai Liu and Zhanjiang (john) LiuChapter 3 Production, Growth, and Insulin?Like Growth Factor?I (IGF?I) Gene Expression as an Instantaneous Growth Indicator in Nile Tilapia Oreochromis Niloticus (pages 79-89): Christopher L.

Full-Field Measurements and Identification in Solid Mechanics By
2012 | 485 Pages | ISBN: 1848212941 | PDF | 14 MB
This timely book presents cutting-edge developments by experts in the field on the rapidly developing and scientifically challenging area of full-field measurement techniques used in solid mechanics - including photoelasticity, grid methods, deflectometry, holography, speckle interferometry and digital image correlation. The evaluation of strains and the use of the measurements in subsequent parameter identification techniques to determine material properties are also presented.Since parametric identification techniques require a close coupling of theoretical models and experimental measurements, the book focuses on specific modeling approaches that include finite element model updating, the equilibrium gap method, constitutive equation gap method, virtual field method and reciprocity gap method. In the latter part of the book, the authors discuss two particular applications of selected methods that are of special interest to many investigators: the analysis of localized phenomenon and connections between microstructure and constitutive laws. The final chapter highlights infrared measurements and their use in the mechanics of materials.Written and edited by knowledgeable scientists, experts in their fields, this book will be a valuable resource for all students, faculties and scientists seeking to expand their understanding of an important, growing research areaContent: Chapter 1 Basics of Metrology and Introduction to Techniques (pages 1-30): Andre Chrysochoos and Yves SurrelChapter 2 Photoelasticity (pages 31-60): Fabrice Bremand and Jean?Christophe DupreChapter 3 Grid Method, Moire and Deflectometry (pages 61-92): Jerome Molimard and Yves SurrelChapter 4 Digital Holography Methods (pages 93-124): Pascal Picart and Paul SmigielskiChapter 5 Elementary Speckle Interferometry (pages 125-156): Pierre Jacquot, Pierre Slangen and Dan BorzaChapter 6 Digital Image Correlation (pages 157-190): Michel Bornert, Francois Hild, Jean?Jose Orteu and Stephane RouxChapter 7 From Displacement to Strain (pages 191-222): Pierre FeisselChapter 8 Introduction to Identification Methods (pages 223-246): Marc BonnetChapter 9 Parameter Identification from Mechanical Field Measurements using Finite Element Model Updating Strategies (pages 247-274): Emmanuel Pagnacco, Anne?Sophie Caro?Bretelle and Patrick IennyChapter 10 Constitutive Equation Gap (pages 275-300): Stephane Pagano and Marc BonnetChapter 11 Virtual Fields Method, The (pages 301-330): Michel Grediac, Fabrice Pierron, Stephane Avril, Evelyne Toussaint and Marco RossiChapter 12 Equilibrium Gap Method (pages 331-362): Fabien Amiot, Jean?Noel Perie and Stephane RouxChapter 13 Reciprocity Gap Method (pages 363-378): Stephane Andrieux, Huy Duong Bui and Andrei ConstantinescuChapter 14 Characterization of Localized Phenomena (pages 379-410): Jacques Desrues and Julien RethoreChapter 15 From Microstructure to Constitutive Laws (pages 411-438): Jerome Crepin and Stephane RouxChapter 16 Thermographic Analysis of Material Behavior (pages 439-468): Jean?Christophe Batsale, Andre Chrysochoos, Herve Pron and Bertrand Wattrisse

Nancy T. de Grummond, Brunilde S. Ridgway, "From Pergamon to Sperlonga: Sculpture and Context (Hellenistic Culture and Society)"
English | 2001 | pages: 405 | ISBN: 0520223276 | PDF | 28,1 mb
This volume brings together the work of leading scholars on two of the most important, yet puzzling, extant ensembles of Hellenistic Age sculpture: the Great Altar at Pergamon, with its Gigantomachy and scenes from the life of Telephos, and the Cave at Sperlonga in Italy, with its epic themes connected especially with the adventures of Odysseus. From Pergamon to Sperlonga has three aims: to update the scholarship on two important monuments of ancient art and architecture; to debate questions of iconography, authorship, and date; and to broaden the scope of discussion on these monuments beyond the boundaries of studies done in the past. In addition, the volume brings forward new ideas about how these two monuments are connected and discusses possible means by which stylistic influences were transmitted between them.

From Pain to Violence: The Traumatic Roots of Destructiveness, Second Edition By Felicity de Zulueta(auth.)
2006 | 406 Pages | ISBN: 0470019360 | PDF | 2 MB
Violence is all around us; yet, despite its widespread prevalence, we remain unclear about its causes. In this book Felicity de Zulueta - begins by defining "violence" as distinct from "aggression", and then attempts to trace its origins, highlighting the polarization between those who believe mankind to be innately violent and those who see violence as the outcome of man's life experiences. As a result of her investigations, the author suggests that the current high level of violence may well be linked to the effects of childhood and adult trauma which appear to be far more widespread than has hitherto been acknowledged. These findings are relevant to understanding why "normal" people can become violent in certain conditions. This is a second edition and has been fully updated. A new chapter on terrorism has been added.Content: Chapter 1 A Case of Violence (pages 9-18): Chapter 2 The Myth of Original Sin and the Death Instinct (pages 19-33): Chapter 3 Aggression and Violence (pages 34-52): Chapter 4 From Attunement to Attachment and the Trauma of Loss (pages 53-76): Chapter 5 The Psychobiological Roots of Violence (pages 77-90): Chapter 6 Secure and Insecure Attachments in the Formation of the Self (pages 91-113): Chapter 7 Self and Other (pages 114-136): Chapter 8 In Defence of the Self (pages 137-158): Chapter 9 The Unspeakable: Child Sexual Abuse (pages 159-184): Chapter 10 Psychological Trauma and Attachment (pages 185-210): Chapter 11 From Psychological Trauma to Violence and Psychiatric Illness (pages 211-233): Chapter 12 Cultures and Violence (pages 235-263): Chapter 13 The Dehumanisation of the 'Other' (pages 264-292): Chapter 14 The Traumatic Origins of Legitimate Violence (pages 293-321): Chapter 15 Love and Hate (pages 322-345):
