This book introduces readers to the fundamental concepts of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and its most important analysis algorithms using a hands-on approach based on the open-source RHRV software. HRV refers to the variation over time of the intervals between consecutive heartbeats. Despite its apparent simplicity, HRV is one of the most important markers of autonomic nervous system activity and it has been recognized as a useful predictor of several pathologies. The book discusses all the basic HRV topics, including the physiological contributions to HRV, clinical applications, HRV data acquisition, HRV data manipulation and HRV analysis using time-domain, frequency-domain, time-frequency, nonlinear and fractal techniques.

Free Download Antarctic Peninsula Climate Variability: Historical and Paleoenvironmental Perspectives By
2003 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0875909736 | PDF | 11 MB
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Antarctic Research Series.The Antarctic Peninsula region represents our best natural laboratory to investigate how earth’s major climate systems interact and how such systems respond to rapid regional warming. The scale of environmental changes now taking place across the region is large and their pace rapid but the subsystems involved are still small enough to observe and accurately document cause and affect mechanisms. For example, clarification of ice shelf stability via the Larsen Ice Shelf is vital to understanding the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet, its climate evolution, and its response to and control of sea level. By encompassing the broadest range of interdisciplinary studies, this volume provides the global change research and educational communities a framework in which to advance our knowledge of the causes behind regional warming, the dramatic glacial and ecological responses, and the potential uniqueness of the event within the region’s paleoclimate record. The volume also serves as a vital resource for public policy and governmental funding agencies as well as a means to educate the large number of ecotourists that visit the region each austral summer.Content:

Free Download Intraseasonal Variability in the Atmosphere-Ocean Climate System By Dr. William K. M. Lau, Dr Duane E. Waliser (auth.)
2005 | 437 Pages | ISBN: 3540222766 | PDF | 18 MB
As the first comprehensive and authoritative review of intra-seasonal variability (ISV), this multi-author work balances coverage of observation, theory and modeling and provides a single source of reference for all those interested in this important, multi-faceted natural phenomenon and its relation to major short-term climatic variations. Commencing with an overview of ISV and observations from an historical perspective, the book offers successive chapters that deal with the role of ISV in monsoon variability on the monsoon regions of South Asia, East Asia and South America, in North America, and in the oceans. The coupling between ocean and atmosphere is considered, together with the function of angular momentum and Earth rotation. Later chapters deal with modeling ISV in the atmosphere and oceans, and the connection between the Madden and Julian Oscillations, and El Nino/Southern Oscillation with short-term climate are considered.

"John Dewey famously pointed out, ‘We don’t learn from experience. We learn from reflecting on experience.’ Here’s your chance to learn as the three authors reflect on the (successful) struggle to build a Lean production and management system at Zingerman’s Mail Order. Thousands of people visit and benchmark ZMO. This book delivers the backstory in a richly illustrated way."

Free Download International water scarcity and variability: managing resource use across political boundaries By Dinar, Ariel;Dinar, Shlomi
2017 | 227 Pages | ISBN: 0520283074 | EPUB | 10 MB
Introduction : the debate on climate change and water security — Theory of scarcity-variability, conflict, and cooperation — Emergence of cooperation under scarcity and variability — Institutions and the stability of cooperative arrangements under scarcity and variability — Incentives to cooperate : political and economic instruments — Evidence-how do basin riparian countries cope with water scarcity and variability — Conclusion and policy implications;"International Water Scarcity and Variability considers international water management challenges created by water scarcity and environmental change. Although media coverage and some scholarship tend to cast natural resource shortages as leading inexorably toward war, Shlomi Dinar and Ariel Dinar prove that there are many examples of and mechanisms for more peaceful dispute resolution regarding natural resources, even in the face of water paucity and climate change. The authors base these arguments on both global empirical analyses and case studies. Using numerous examples that focus on North America, Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East, this book asks scholars and policy makers to consider strategies and incentives to help lessen conflict and motivate cooperation under scarcity and increased variability of water resources"–Provided by ✅Publisher.
