Lead Babies: Breaking the Cycle of Learning Disabilities, Declining IQ, ADHD, Behavior Problems, and Autism By Joanna Cerazy MEd, Sandra Cottingham PhD
2009 | 213 Pages | ISBN: 1601641923 | PDF | 10 MB
This groundbreaking study reveals the continuing danger that lead contamination presents to health-particularly in the earliest stages of life. Disclosure about the lead content in house paint, gasoline, canned food, and tap water revolutionized the manufacturing of those products a generation ago, but lead-based products are still produced and pose a health hazard as lead remains in the environment years after its initial use. The deleterious effects of lead on early cognitive development are well documented, but the data in this reference regarding in utero lead transfer contains critical new information that shows the effects on infants and families. Week-by-week brain development in unborn and newborn children is demonstrated, explaining lead's damage potential at each stage and how that household sources and surroundings-including soil, plumbing, imported canned goods, and house dust-are outlined and simple precautions that can reduce or minimize exposure are discussed. With an awareness that has allowed a generation of injured children to be born, and empowers the reader to break this destructive cycle.

Invariant Algebras And Geometric Reasoning By Hongbo Li
2008 | 533 Pages | ISBN: 9812708081 | PDF | 9 MB
The demand for more reliable geometric computing in robotics, computer vision and graphics has revitalized many venerable algebraic subjects in mathematics - among them, Grassmann-Cayley algebra and geometric algebra. Nowadays, they are used as powerful languages for projective, Euclidean and other classical geometries. This book contains the author's most recent, original development of Grassmann-Cayley algebra and geometric algebra and their applications in automated reasoning of classical geometries. It includes three advanced invariant algebras - Cayley bracket algebra, conformal geometric algebra, and null bracket algebra - for highly efficient geometric computing. They form the theory of advanced invariants, and capture the intrinsic beauty of geometric languages and geometric computing. Apart from their applications in discrete and computational geometry, the new languages are currently being used in computer vision, graphics and robotics by many researchers worldwide.

Human Evolutionary Biology: Human Anatomy and Physiology from an Evolutionary Perspective By Arndt Von Hippel
1995 | 576 Pages | ISBN: 0961580828 | PDF | 2 MB
This is a remarkable book, despite some flaws. In a fast paced, informal, conversational voice, von Hippel presents an incredible amount of information, most of it very interesting. The emphasis is on physiology, not anatomy, and it is grounded in evolutionary concepts. Thus, while things work remarkably well, designs are certainly not what you would get starting from scratch - although Hippel sometimes shows that there are so many conflicting constraints that many apparently simpler designs would not work. Hippel, a doctor, is interested in clinical problems and treatments, as well as evolution and how things work in other life forms. He is also the type of scientist who draws scientific lessons from the most mundane phenomenon of everyday life. I personally enjoyed his sense of humor and crusty manner, although you might not if you are a lawyer or politician. The problem with the book is that while Hippel explains things clearly enough, there is a limit to how well you can convey material without the graphical aids found in good textbooks, nor is Hippel that clear in his own mind about just what kind of background he expects his readers to have. I tended to enjoy most of the sections I was not fully following: I would read quickly and pick up interesting nuggets. Still, readers without any background in molecular biology are likely to miss a lot and may have difficulty with the first few chapters.

Heteroepitaxy of Semiconductors: Theory, Growth, and Characterization By John E. Ayers
2007 | 447 Pages | ISBN: 0849371953 | PDF | 8 MB
Heteroepitaxy has evolved rapidly in recent years. With each new wave of material/substrate combinations, our understanding of how to control crystal growth becomes more refined. Most books on the subject focus on a specific material or material family, narrowly explaining the processes and techniques appropriate for each. Surveying the principles common to all types of semiconductor materials, Heteroepitaxy of Semiconductors: Theory, Growth, and Characterization is the first comprehensive, fundamental introduction to the field. This book reflects our current understanding of nucleation, growth modes, relaxation of strained layers, and dislocation dynamics without emphasizing any particular material. Following an overview of the properties of semiconductors, the author introduces the important heteroepitaxial growth methods and provides a survey of semiconductor crystal surfaces, their structures, and nucleation. With this foundation, the book provides in-depth descriptions of mismatched heteroepitaxy and lattice strain relaxation, various characterization tools used to monitor and evaluate the growth process, and finally, defect engineering approaches. Numerous examples highlight the concepts while extensive micrographs, schematics of experimental setups, and graphs illustrate the discussion. Serving as a solid starting point for this rapidly evolving area, Heteroepitaxy of Semiconductors: Theory, Growth, and Characterization makes the principles of heteroepitaxy easily accessible to anyone preparing to enter the field.

Haywired: Pointless By Mike Rigsby
2009 | 210 Pages | ISBN: 1556527799 | PDF | 11 MB
I really like the fresh ideas that this book shows, as a student of electronics I always like books with new ideas, this book however seems like it's missing something. I don't know what exactly, sorry. If you are looking into this book, I would suggest you look into Make Magazine, it's along the same lines but you will see many more projects and I think you will get many more ideas from it.

Hans Jonas: Life, Technology and the Horizons of Responsibility by Lewis Coyne
2021 | ISBN: 1350102392, 1350102393 | English | 248 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Hans Jonas (1903-1993) was one of the most important German-Jewish philosophers of the 20th century. A student of Martin Heidegger and close friend of Hannah Arendt, Jonas advanced the fields of phenomenology and practical ethics in ways that are just beginning to be appreciated in the English-speaking world. Drawing here on unpublished and newly translated material, Lewis Coyne brings together for the first time in English Jonas's philosophy of life, ethic of responsibility, political theory, philosophy of technology and bioethics.
