Proceedings of the European Cognitive Science Conference 2007

Proceedings of the European Cognitive Science Conference 2007

This volume contains the invited lectures invited symposia symposia papers and posters presented at the 2nd European Cognitive Science Conference held in Greece in May 2007. The papers presented in this volume range from empirical psychological studies and computational models to philosophical arguments meta-analyses and even to neuroscientific experimentation. The quality of the work shows that the Cognitive Science Society in Europe is an exciting and vibrant one. There are 210 contributions by cognitive scientists from 27 different countries including USA France UK Germany Greece Italy Belgium Japan Spain the Netherlands and Australia. This book will be of interest to anyone concerned with current research in Cognitive Science. | Proceedings of the European Cognitive Science Conference 2007

Good Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Practice Rationale and Compliance

Good Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Practice Rationale and Compliance

With over twenty different official regulatory statements worldwide on Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) for pharmaceutical drug or medicinal products two stand out as being the most influential and most frequently referenced. Bridging the gap between U. S. regulations and European Good Manufacturing Practice guidelines Good Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Practice: Rationale and Compliance gleans the most important substance from the U. S. Current Good Manufacturing Practice parts 210 and 211 (US cGMPs 2002) and the European Guide to Good Manufacturing Practice for Medicinal Products for Human and Veterinary Use (EU GMP guide 2002). The author uses his 40+ years of experience in technical management production quality assurance and distribution within the pharmaceutical industry offering a hands-on guide to better understand and implement optimal pharmaceutical practices. This book also compares the principle requirements of GMP and explores the reasoning behind these requirements and ways to comply with them. Relevant topics include personnel documentation premises and equipment production quality control self-inspection recalls and more. This is an essential guidebook for those who wish to expand their pharmaceutical business in any international capacity. | Good Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Practice Rationale and Compliance

Conceptual Landscapes Fundamentals in the Beginning Design Process

Conceptual Landscapes Fundamentals in the Beginning Design Process

Conceptual Landscapes explores the dilemma faced in the early moments of design thinking through a gradient of work in landscape and environmental design media by both emerging and well-established designers and educators of landscape architecture. It questions where and more importantly how the process of design starts. The book deconstructs the steps of conceptualizing design in order to reignite pedagogical discussions about timing and design fundamentals and to reveal how the spark of an idea happens – from a range of unique perspectives. Through a careful arrangement of visual essays that integrate analog digital and mixed-media works and processes the book highlights differences between diverse techniques and triggers debate between design representation technology and creative culture in the field. Taken together the book’s visual investigation of the conceptual design process serves as a learning tool for aspiring designers and seasoned professionals alike. By situating student work alongside that of experienced teachers and landscape architects the book also demystifies outdated notions of individual genius and sheds new light on the nearly universally messy process of discovery bridged across years and diverse creative vocabularies in the conceptual design process. Lavishly illustrated with over 210 full color images this book is a must-read for students and instructors in landscape architecture. | Conceptual Landscapes Fundamentals in the Beginning Design Process

Life and Death Rays Radioactive Poisoning and Radiation Exposure

Life and Death Rays Radioactive Poisoning and Radiation Exposure

This unique book provides an accessible introduction to both the scientific background and the key people involved in the discovery and use of radiation and radioactivity. It begins by providing a short history of radiation exposures and radiation poisoning; from the early inappropriate use of X-rays and radium cures through the misadventures of the Manhattan Project and the Chernobyl disaster to the high-profile and deliberate poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in London with polonium-210 which gave rise to worldwide media attention. The chapters provide a catalogue of deliberate criminal acts unfortunate accidents and inadvertent radiation exposures exploring well-known events in detail as well as some not so well-known occurrences. It works through the topics by focusing on human stories and events and their biological impact. In addition it covers descriptions of the beneficial uses of radiation and radioactivity. This book can be enjoyed by any reader with a general interest in science as well as by students and professionals within the scientific and medical communities. Key features Authored by a subject area specialist who has worked in both clinical practice and academia and was involved with the national media following incidents of national and international importance Provides a unique human perspective into well-known and some lesser known events and a concise history of the discovery of radiation and the events that followed Adds scientific and medical background to a subject of high media interest | Life and Death Rays Radioactive Poisoning and Radiation Exposure

Evolution and Speciation in Plants

Evolution and Speciation in Plants

Plants are autotrophs and sessile while animals are heterotrophs and motile. Sessility has imposed on plants 94% hermaphroditism 23% selfing 3% polyploidization and 39% clonality in comparison to < 5% herma-phroditism < 1% selfing and 2% clonality in motile animals. Whereas plants consist of 374 000 species but 1 664 variety/species animals comprise 1 543 196 species and 210 variety/species. Hence plants have undergone variety diversity while animals have species diversity. In animals and plants the species ratio is reduced from 4. 1 animals : 1. 0 plant to 1. 4 for pollinating animals : 1. 0 pollinated plants. In pollination animals are benefited dietarily but plants are cross pollinated generating new gene combinations – the raw material for evolution and speciation. For the reduced species diversity in plants reasons are traced to 90% hermaphroditism ~ 23% selfing and 39% clonality. Clonality decreases from 100% in 6-7 tissue typed sponges and 3 tissue typed algae drastically to 0. 7% in 60 tissue typed worms but gradually to ~ 23% in 60 tissued typed angiosperms. About 12-15 5-8 and 77-80% of all animal and plant species are distributed in marine freshwater and terrestrial habitats respectively. Animals have conserved the ‘right’ sequence of gametogenesis but plants have gone through a ‘wrong’ sequence prior to settling with right one albeit with double fertilization in angiosperms. Both animals and plants are 80% male heterogametics. Only 0. 5% of them can afford semelparity. While 20 and 57% angiosperms are perennial trees and herbs annual herbs make up 23% only. In all of them 85 > 19 and < 1% are pollinated by fast flying animals wind and water respectively. Increasing pollen load enhances fruit- and seed-set. In contrast to animals the life cycle of plants is direct but complicated. Unlike animals plants have greatly contributed to weathering of rocks and the atmospheric gas composition during the geological past. From dormant spores and seeds of plants life can be restored after thousands of years. | Evolution and Speciation in Plants
