New Technologies for Glutamate Interaction Neurons and Glia (Neuromethods, 207)


Free Download New Technologies for Glutamate Interaction: Neurons and Glia (Neuromethods, 207) by Maria Kukley
English | March 23, 2024 | ISBN: 107163741X | 385 pages | MOBI | 15 Mb
This volume explores the latest technologies used to study the co-existence of neuronal and neuron-glia synapses in the brain. The chapters in this volume are organized into three parts. Part One covers recent advancements in the technical approaches for studying glutamatergic signalling between neurons. Part Two highlights approaches to study the functional role of astrocytes at neuronal synapses. Part Three focuses on fast signalling at neuron-glia synapses, and highlights relevant methods for investigating these unusual synapses, including slice electrophysiology and in vivo gene delivery techniques. In the Neuromethods series style, all chapters contain key advices from experts in the field that are valuable for performing successful experiments on the topic in your laboratory.

Interaction between the Epikarst and Surface Karstification (Case Studies)


Free Download Interaction between the Epikarst and Surface Karstification (Case Studies)
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031699351 | 193 Pages | PDF (True) | 85 MB
The book deals with the relationship and interaction between epikarst and surface karstification in seven chapters. The focus of the book is the development of the epikarst of different karst types and the genetics between the epikarst and landscape features. Chapter 1 gives a general description on the epikarst. Chapter 2 describes the sediment structure of subsidence dolines and interprets their development. It illustrates the interaction between the epikarst and surface karstification in different environments and rocks, which is primarily based on geoelectric resistance data of the bedrock of the karst. The investigations include covered karsts (Chapters 3 and 4), glaciokarsts (Chapter 4), a dolomite terrain (Chapter 6) and tropical karren (Chapter 7).

Human-Robot Interaction An Introduction (2nd Edition)


Free Download Human-Robot Interaction: An Introduction
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1009424238 | 323 Pages | PDF | 84 MB
The role of robots in society keeps expanding and diversifying, bringing with it a host of issues surrounding the relationship between robots and humans. This introduction to human-robot interaction (HRI) by leading researchers in this developing field is the first to provide a broad overview of the multidisciplinary topics central to modern HRI research. Written for students and researchers from robotics, artificial intelligence, psychology, sociology, and design, it presents the basics of how robots work, how to design them, and how to evaluate their performance. Self-contained chapters discuss a wide range of topics, including speech and language, nonverbal communication, and processing emotions, plus an array of applications and the ethical issues surrounding them. This revised and expanded second edition includes a new chapter on how people perceive robots, coverage of recent developments in robotic hardware, software, and artificial intelligence, and exercises for readers to test their knowledge.

Applied Conversation Analysis Social Interaction in Institutional Settings


Free Download Jessica Nina Lester, "Applied Conversation Analysis: Social Interaction in Institutional Settings"
English | ISBN: 1506351263 | 2018 | 312 pages | EPUB, PDF | 3 MB + 3 MB
Focusing on applied conversation analysis (CA), Applied Conversation Analysis: Social Interaction in Institutional Settings by Jessica N. Lester and Michelle O’Reilly offers practical insights and guidelines for CA scholars studying social interactions in institutional settings. Written in an accessible style and packed with case studies, examples, activities, and practical tips, the book takes readers through the entire process of planning and carrying out an applied CA research study. By highlighting challenges, debates, and important questions, each chapter provides the theoretical foundation necessary for making informed decisions at every stage of a research project. The book is divided into three sections (context and planning, doing a project using conversation analysis, and disseminating your research) to mirror the research process.

Formative Experiences The Interaction of Caregiving, Culture, and Developmental Psychobiology


Free Download Carol M. Worthman PhD, Paul M. Descriptionsky PhD, Daniel S. Schechter MD, "Formative Experiences: The Interaction of Caregiving, Culture, and Developmental Psychobiology"
English | 2013 | pages: 623 | ISBN: 1107635187, 0521895030 | PDF | 4,3 mb
This interdisciplinary book offers a unique exploration of the formative effects of children’s early life experiences, with an emphasis on interactions among neurodevelopmental, behavioral, and cultural dynamics. The authors draw on insights from psychobiological, clinical, and cross-cultural comparative research that maps the robustness of these developmental dynamics across species and societies. Multidisciplinary case studies focus on specific periods of development, or windows of susceptibility, during which caregiving and other cultural practices potentially have a long-lasting impact on brain and behavior. Chapters describe in detail: how social experience interacts with neurodevelopmental disorders; how epigenetic mechanisms mediate the effects of early environment; the interaction of temperament and environmental influences; the implications of early life stress or trauma for mental health and well-being; and the cultural shaping of sexual development and gender identity. The authors also explore key aspects of and common experiences associated with modern childhood, including teasing, bullying, the function of social play, emotional regulation, and management of attention disorders. The final section translates insights from this work into a fresh appraisal of child-rearing practices, clinical interventions, and global public health policy that affect the mental health and well-being of children around the world.
