Amphibian and Reptile Adaptations to the Environment Interplay Between Physiology and Behavior

Amphibian and Reptile Adaptations to the Environment Interplay Between Physiology and Behavior

Despite their diversity amphibians and reptiles share many physiological traits such as their dependence on external heat sources for body temperature regulation that are of pivotal importance to their ability to cope with the environment. Considerable variation in physiological capabilities exists in these groups and often can be related to seasonal and geographic differences in environmental parameters. This book provides a comprehensive and integrative view of the interplay between physiology and behavior in amphibians and reptiles leading to a better understanding of the subject. The book covers topics that have recently been in the spotlight for scientific research on the physiology behavior and conservation of amphibians and reptiles. It brings together recent information from a range of disciplines that address critical topics for understanding their biology. As these studies are scattered across articles in specialized journals this book provides a single and expanded source summarizing such advancements. Amphibian and Reptile Adaptations to the Environment: Interplay Between Physiology and Behavior maintains a solid scientific basis for the biological topics covered. However it presents the material in a clear and direct manner so that it is accessible even to non-biologists interested in the basic biology behavior and ecology of these animals as well as how these elements are connected to their conservation. | Amphibian and Reptile Adaptations to the Environment Interplay Between Physiology and Behavior

The Potential Effect Of Two New Biotechnologies On The World Dairy Industry

The Potential Effect Of Two New Biotechnologies On The World Dairy Industry

Biotechnology is expected by many observers to have a significant impact on the world dairy industry over the next decade. In this timely volume Lovell Jarvis analyzes the potential effect of two biotechnologies—multiple ovulation and embryo transfers (MOET) and recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST—on the dairy industry around the world. According to Jarvis's research the effects of these two technologies will vary greatly between the developed and developing nations. He predicts that the technologies will be most profitable for the developed nations where their use will increase milk production and strengthen their positions in dairy export markets. Developing country dairy sectors will probably lose from the use of these two biotechnologies as their own international trade position will be weakened though their own consumers should benefit. Jarvis concludes his study with a look at alternative approaches that might improve the competitive position of developing countries in the dairy sector. | The Potential Effect Of Two New Biotechnologies On The World Dairy Industry

Socio-Hydrological Dynamics in Bangladesh Understanding the Interaction Between Hydrological and Social Processes Along the Jamuna Floodplain

Socio-Hydrological Dynamics in Bangladesh Understanding the Interaction Between Hydrological and Social Processes Along the Jamuna Floodplain

Bangladesh is a large delta where most people live in the overpopulated floodplains. Flooding is a normal phenomenon which causes much suffering. How to reduce this suffering through better managing floods is a big societal challenge. To date societal initiatives to address this challenge mainly consist of the construction of embankments along the river bank to control hydrological processes and ‘discipline’ the river. Yet such embankments generate their own hydrological and societal responses in sometimes unexpected ways. The study of these interactions and feedback mechanisms between hydrological and social processes is a new academic field one that is particularly relevant in a dynamic delta such as Bangladesh. This research sets out to explore the phenomena opportunities and risks generated by the interactions between physical and societal processes along the Jamuna River in Bangladesh. It conceptualize these interactions as temporally dynamic and spatially diverse combinations of fighting and living with water. The research proposes the concept of Socio-hydrological spaces (SHSs) to enrich the study of socio-hydrology. A SHS is a geographical area in a landscape. Its particular combination of hydrological and social features gives rise to the emergence of distinct interactions and dynamics (patterns) between society and water. The SHSs concept suggests that the interactions between society and water are place-bound and specific because of differences in social processes technological choices and opportunities and hydrological dynamics. Through the concept of SHS this research does not only contribute to advance the knowledge about socio-hydrological dynamics in Bangladesh but also provides more general insights for flood risk management. | Socio-Hydrological Dynamics in Bangladesh Understanding the Interaction Between Hydrological and Social Processes Along the Jamuna Floodplain

Conscious Mind in the Physical World

Conscious Mind in the Physical World

We have seen remarkable progress in our detailed understanding of the physical world from the smallest constituents of atoms to the remotest distances seen by telescopes. However we have yet to explore the phenomenon of consciousness. Can physical things be conscious or is consciousness something else forever outside the range of physics? And how does consciousness interact with physical things? A lively account of quantum theory and its puzzles Conscious Mind in the Physical World examines two developments in particular that have altered the context of discussions about consciousness. One is computer technology which allows us to make machines that can calculate at speeds far greater than the human brain while the other is the study of the microscopic world. The book explores philosophical issues such as idealism and free will and speculates on the relationship of consciousness to quantum mechanics. This resource will stimulate physicists with an interest in philosophy philosophers interested in physics and anyone fascinated about the waking state of the mind.

Groundwater around the World A Geographic Synopsis

Groundwater around the World A Geographic Synopsis

This book presents a unique and up-to-date summary of what is known about groundwater on our planet from a global perspective and in terms of area-specific factual information. Unlike most textbooks on groundwater it does not deal with theoretical principles but rather with the overall picture that emerges as a result of countless observations studies and other activities related to groundwater in all parts of the world. The focus is on showing the role and geographical diversity of groundwater—a natural resource of great importance in daily life but poorly understood by the general public and even by many water sector professionals. The book starts by analysing groundwater in the context of the hydrological cycle. Subsequently groundwater systems as physical units with their boundaries mainly defined by geological conditions are reviewed. The next chapter looks at groundwater as a resource paying attention among others to its quantity and quality to the differentiation between renewable and non-renewable resources and to the techniques for withdrawing groundwater. This is followed by a systematic documentation of the quantities of groundwater withdrawn and used around the world and of the corresponding shares of groundwater in each of the main water use sectors. After that steadily growing needs for groundwater management interventions are identified resulting from local human activities and global change (including demography economic development and climate change). Finally groundwater resources management is addressed and real-life cases are described that illustrate actions taken and experiences with different issues in different parts of the world. The authors attempted to write this book in such a way that it is accessible to a wider readership than just groundwater professionals. It will also benefit non-groundwater specialists who work in groundwater-related fields (water managers land use planners environmentalists agronomists engineers economists lawyers and journalists) by broadening their understanding of groundwater and making them aware of the huge variety of groundwater settings. Groundwater specialists will use the book as a convenient reference on the geographical diversity of groundwater. Part of the contents or interpretations offered may even be new to them or enhance their knowledge of some aspects. The many maps tables and references will save much time for those who would otherwise have to search elsewhere for basic information on the globe’s groundwater. | Groundwater around the World A Geographic Synopsis

Revising Green Infrastructure Concepts Between Nature and Design

Revising Green Infrastructure Concepts Between Nature and Design

Consider this … How do we handle the convergence of landscape architecture ecological planning and civil engineering? What are convenient terms and metaphors to communicate the interplay between design and ecology? What are suitable scientific theories and technological means? What innovations arise from multidisciplinary and cross-scalar approaches? What are appropriate aesthetic statements and spatial concepts? What instruments and tools should be applied? Revising Green Infrastructure: Concepts Between Nature and Design examines these questions and presents innovative approaches in designing green landscape or nature as infrastructure from different perspectives and attitudes instead of adding another definition or category of green infrastructure. The editors bring together the work of selected ecologists engineers and landscape architects who discuss a variety of theoretical aspects research projects teaching methods and best practice examples in green infrastructure. The approaches range from retrofitting existing infrastructures through landscape-based integrations of new infrastructures and envisioning prospective landscapes as hybrids machines or cultural extensions. The book explores a scientific functional approach in landscape architecture. It begins with an overview of green functionalism and includes examples of how new design logics are deducted from ecology in order to meet economic and environmental requirements and open new aesthetic relationships toward nature. The contributors share a decidedly cultural perspective on nature as landscape. Their ecological view emphasizes the individual nature of specific local situations. Building on this foundation the subsequent chapters present political ideas and programs defining social relations toward nature and their integration in different planning systems as well as their impact on nature and society. They explore different ways of participation and cooperation within cities regions and nations. They then describe projects implemented in local contexts to solve concrete problems or remediate malfunctions. These projects illustrate the full scope presented and discussed throughout the book: the use of scientific knowledge strategic thinking communication with municipal authorities and local stakeholders design implementation on site and documentation and control of feedback and outcome with adequate indicators and metrics. Although diverse and sometimes controversial the discussion of how nature is regarded in contrast to society how human-natural systems could be organized and how nature could be changed optimized or designed raises the question of whether there is a new paradigm for the design of social relations to nature. The multidisciplinary review in this book brings together discussions previously held only within the respective disciplines and demonstrates how they can be used to develop new methods and remediation strategies. | Revising Green Infrastructure Concepts Between Nature and Design
