Vascular Organization of Angiosperms A New Vision

Vascular Organization of Angiosperms A New Vision

This study of plant anatomy is based on newly available data on the structure and spatial organization of the vascular system of plants. For the first time by means of a new technique of intracellular moulding the vascular system can be observed in its length. Many examples are chosen from among the major groups of the plant kingdom to illustrate the vast field of applications of histological moulding: anatomical structures that have so far been little understood or unknown are described and hypotheses relative to the cambial functioning are presented. Following a summary of basic concepts of xylem anatomy the text is illustrated with many diagrams and photographs of moulds made for the most part with scanning electron microscope. The successive steps of the technical implementation of moulding are described with precision. The book is addressed not only to scientists and students but also to professionals concerned with wood trees and plants in general. | Vascular Organization of Angiosperms A New Vision

Experimental Comparisons of Usability Evaluation Methods A Special Issue of Human-Computer Interaction

Experimental Comparisons of Usability Evaluation Methods A Special Issue of Human-Computer Interaction

This special issue contains essays regarding the CHI '95 conference which featured a panel titled Discount or Disservice? Discount Usability Analysis: Evaluation at a Bargain Price or Simply Damaged Merchandise? Wayne Gray who organized the panel presented a controversial critique of studies that had evaluated various usability evaluation methods (UEMs). The level of interest in this discussion led Gray to propose a review article that dealt with the issues in a more systematic fashion. The resulting essay written by Gray and his collaborator Marilyn Salzman conducted an in-depth review of a series of influential studies that used experimental methods to compare a variety of UEMs. Gray and Salzman's analysis was framed using Cook and Campbell's (1979) well-known discussion of various forms of validity. They used this to evaluate numerous details of these comparative studies and they concluded that the studies fell short on the criteria by which good experimental studies are designed and interpreted. | Experimental Comparisons of Usability Evaluation Methods A Special Issue of Human-Computer Interaction

Sensing Sound Evolutionary Neurobiology of a Novel Sense of Hearing

Sensing Sound Evolutionary Neurobiology of a Novel Sense of Hearing

Hearing is a prerequisite for the evolution of language and thus the development of human societies. It is the only major sense whose evolution can be traced back to vertebrates starting with sarcopterygians. The book explores the evolution of auditory development that has remained largely unexplored in contemporary theories of neurosensory brain evolution including the telencephalon. It describes how sensory epithelia from the basilar papilla evolved in the ear and connected dedicated cochlear neurons to neuronal centers in the brain and deals with how sound is converted through sound modulations into reliably decoded messages. The loss of hearing with age is expected to reach 2. 6 billion people by 2050. As such the book explains and reviews hearing loss at the molecular level to the behavioral level and provides suggestions to manage the loss. | Sensing Sound Evolutionary Neurobiology of a Novel Sense of Hearing

Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal

Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal

Making an artificial brain is not a part of artificial intelligence. It will be a revolutionary journey of mankind exploring a science where one cannot write an equation a material will vibrate like geometric shape and then those shapes will change to make decisions. Geometry of silence plays like a musical instrument to mimic a human brain; our thoughts imagination everything would be a 3D shape playing as music; composing music would be the brain’s singular job. For a century the Turing machine ruled human civilization; it was believed that irrespective of complexity all events add up linearly. This book is a thesis to explore the science of decision-making where events are 3D-geometric shapes events grow within and above never side by side. ​ The book documents inventions and discoveries in neuroscience computer science materials science mathematics and chemistry that explore the possibility of brain or universe as a time crystal. The philosophy of Turing the philosophy of membrane-based neuroscience and the philosophy of linear sequential thought process are challenged here by considering that a nested time crystal encompasses the entire conscious universe. Instead of an algorithm the pattern of maximum free will is generated mathematically and that very pattern is encoded in materials such that its natural vibration integrates random events exactly similar to the way nature does it in every remote corner of our universe. Find how an artificial brain avoids any necessity for algorithm or programming using the pattern of free will. | Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal

Thermitic Thermodynamics A Computational Survey and Comprehensive Interpretation of Over 800 Combinations of Metals Metalloids and Oxides

Thermites which are generally considered to be reactive mixtures of powdered metals and metal oxides are an important subset of energetic materials. The underlying thermodynamic properties of a given mixture dictate whether it may undergo a self-sustaining reaction liberating heat in the process. Thermodynamic information in the existing scientific literature regarding thermitic combinations is scattered and incomplete. Currently a comprehensive overview of this nature would be of great use to those working in the areas of pyrotechnics pyrometallurgy high-temperature chemistry and materials science. Thermitic Thermodynamics solves this problem by describing the results of calculations on over 800 combinations of metal metalloid and metal oxide reactants. Other features include: A first-of-its-kind adiabatic survey of binary thermitic reactions Provides an overview of key trends in exothermic metal-metal oxide reactivity Describes the role of non-oxide product formation in thermitic systems Explains how to interpret the results of thermochemical calculations effectively An invaluable resource this book provides an accessible introduction for students and is also an enduring guide for professionals. | Thermitic Thermodynamics A Computational Survey and Comprehensive Interpretation of Over 800 Combinations of Metals Metalloids and Oxides
