Remote Sensing for Hydrocarbon Exploration


Free Download Remote Sensing for Hydrocarbon Exploration by Andreas Laake
English | EPUB | 2022 | 394 Pages | ISBN : 3030733181 | 462.70 MB
This book provides insights into the benefits of using remote sensing data from a geoscientist’s perspective, by integrating the data with the understanding of Earth’s surface and subsurface. In 3 sections, the book takes a detailed look at what data explorationists use when they explore for hydrocarbon resources, assess different terrain types for planning and hazards and extract present-day geologic analogs for subsurface geologic settings.

Sensing Sound Evolutionary Neurobiology of a Novel Sense of Hearing


Free Download Sensing Sound Evolutionary Neurobiology of a Novel Sense of Hearing
by Bernd Fritzsch

English | 2023 | ISBN: 1138497177 | 229 pages | True PDF | 29.25 MB
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.
