Desert Peoples: Archaeological Perspectives
Peter Hiscock Manufacturer: Blackwell Publishing Limited ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1405100915 |
Book Description
Desert Peoples: Archaeological Perspectives provides an overview of hunter-gatherers in desert landscapes. Written by an international roster of experts, this volume examines the key concepts vital to understanding human adaptation to marginal environments and the behavioral and belief systems that underpin these concepts. Desert Peoples brings together studies from deserts as diverse as the sand dunes of Australia, the US Great Basin, the coastal and high altitude deserts of South America, and the core deserts of Africa. Ultimately, Desert Peoples ' comparative approach profiles current understandings and debates about cultural and ecological processes affecting hunter-gatherer societies in deserts.

Modulating Aging and Longevity (Biology of Aging and its Modulation)
Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1402013698 |
Book Description
After decades of systematic collection of data describing age-related changes in organisms, organs, tissues, cells and macromolecules, biogerontologists are now in a position to construct general principles of ageing and explore various possibilities of intervention using rational approaches. While not giving serious consideration to the claims made by charlatans, it cannot be ignored that several researchers are making genuine attempts to test and develop various means of intervention for the prevention and treatment of age-related diseases, for regaining the functional abilities and for prolonging the lifespan of experimental organisms. This book provides the most up-to-date information and a critical evaluation of a variety of approaches being tried for modulating aging and longevity, including dietary supplementation with antioxidants, vitamins and hormones, genetic engineering, life-style alterations, and hormesis through mild stress. The goal of research on ageing is not to increase human longevity regardless of the consequences, but to increase active longevity free from disability and functional dependence.

CRC Handbook of Chromatography: Polymers (CRC handbook of chromatography)
Manufacturer: Crc Pr I Llc ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0849330734 |
Book Description
Handbook of Chromatography features tables and chromatograms, theoretical discussions, and practical applications on the topic. Tables and chromatograms are based on polymer analyses abstracted from literature references dating from 1981-1991. Compounds presented in the tables and chromatograms include residual monomers, plasticizers, additives, antioxidants, and products from the thermal degradation (pyrolysis) of a broad range of synthetic polymers. Theoretical discussions focus on new developments in the respective areas of gas, pyrolysis-gas, liquid, and size exclusion chromatographic separations. Capillary column technology, inverse gas chromatography (IGC), supercritical fluid extractions (SFE), and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) are also covered. A Practical Applications subsection provides a list of commercial suppliers of column packings and packed columns for gas and liquid chromatography. The book will be an excellent reference for chromatographers, organic chemists, and analytical chemists.

ASIN: 3540669736 |
Book Description
Lattice-gas cellular automata (LGCA) and lattice Boltzmann models (LBM) are relatively new and promising methods for the numerical solution of nonlinear partial differential equations. The book provides an introduction for graduate students and researchers. Working knowledge of calculus is required and experience in PDEs and fluid dynamics is recommended. Some peculiarities of cellular automata are outlined in Chapter 2. The properties of various LGCA and special coding techniques are discussed in Chapter 3. Concepts from statistical mechanics (Chapter 4) provide the necessary theoretical background for LGCA and LBM. The properties of lattice Boltzmann models and a method for their construction are presented in Chapter 5.Customer Reviews:
