**Selected for Doody’s Core Titles® 2024 in Neuroscience**MRI/DTI Atlas of the Human Brainstem in Transverse and Sagittal Planes presents a detailed view of the human brainstem in DTI/MRI. It is the first ever MRI or histological atlas to present detailed diagrams of sagittal views of the brainstem. Presenting data of unprecedented quality, images are juxtaposed with detailed diagrams in the transverse and sagittal planes. The atlas features a 50 micron resolution for the GRE and 200 microns for the FAC and DWI, 8000 times higher than that seen in a clinical MRI and 1000 times higher than that seen in a clinical DTI scan, all based on one brain. This atlas is important for neuroscientists, neurosurgeons, pathologists, anatomists, neurophysiologists, radiologists, radiotherapists (e.g., for cyberknife guidance), and graduate students in neuroscience.

The COVID-19 pandemic isn't over, but even as governments around the world strive to put it behind us, they're also starting to talk about what happens next. How can we prevent a new pandemic from killing millions of people and devastating the global economy? Can we even hope to accomplish this?Bill Gates believes the answer is yes, and in this book he lays out clearly and convincingly what the world should have learned from COVID-19 and what all of us can do to ward off another disaster like it. Relying on the shared knowledge of the world's foremost experts and on his own experience of combating fatal diseases through the Gates Foundation, he first makes us understand the science of corona diseases. Then he helps us understand how the nations of the world, working in conjunction with one another and with the private sector, can not only ward off another COVID-like catastrophe but also go far to eliminate all respiratory diseases, including the flu.Here is a clarion call - strong, comprehensive, and of the gravest importance - from one of our greatest and most effective thinkers and activists.

Psychoanalysis, Science and Power reexamines the current state of psychoanalysis and science and technology studies as they have been influenced by Robert Maxwell Young's work. Young urged that psychoanalysis, particularly in its Kleinian incarnation, illuminated new aspects of science and technology studies, and vice versa.

This book is a Winner in the 13th Annual National Indie Excellence Awards for 2019. www.indieexcellence.com It is not recycling!It is not green rooftops!It is not even energy efficient buildings that can help us fight global warming; they only kick the can further down the road. They helped us put off solving the problem until later and that later is now.We can't slowdown global warming with green initiatives anymore. We have crossed that tipping point. Global warming is now feeding on itself!Every natural disaster, be it earthquake, landslide, forest fire, hurricane or a flood, adds gigatons of carbon to the atmosphere. More carbon means more warming and more destruction. This vicious cycle is now spinning on its own!It is Artificial Intelligence alone that can comprehend global warming in its entirety and offer amazing solutions to fight it. 'The Ugly Fight' a unique book puts together a comprehensive approach to accelerating the fight against global warming through the power of Artificial Intelligence, which can be our partner in this epic battle to reverse our carbon footprint. Is AI a double-edged sword? You bet! When we nurture AI to fight global warming, undoubtedly it will threaten our jobs. Now the challenge is not just to combat climate change but to survive the collateral damage. It is an ugly fight indeed. This book illustrates with real-world examples the possible ways to unleash AI on global warming and at the same time shelter the unemployed.

The validation of equipment, processes and methods is a basic requirement that nowadays has to be met in most industries. This handbook deals with the validation of computerized systems in general as well as with analytical method validation. The many detailed practical examples focus on thermal analysis of materials, such as plastics and rubber.The handbook is intended for newcomers interested in the theoretical and regulatory aspects of validation and for thermal analysis practitioners who have to validate their equipment and methods.Contents:Part 1: Validation of Computerized SystemsRecent Changes in Regulations and Regulatory GuidanceInstrument Qualification, Computerized System Validation and Method ValidationRegulatory Requirements for Computerized System ValidationComputerized System ValidationWriting the User Requirements Specification (URS)Auditing the System SupplierInstallation Qualification and Operational Qualification (IQ and OQ)Performance Qualification (PQ) or End User TestingPart 2: Method ValidationMeasurement Errors and Uncertainty of MeasurementValidation of Analytical Procedures and MethodsInterlaboratory Studies in Thermal AnalysisMethod Development Through to SOPPractical ExamplesAppendix 1: 21 CFR Part 11 and EU GMP Annex 11Appendix 2: Basic StatisticsAppendix 3: Standard Test Methods for Thermal Analysis

Measurements and experiments are made each and every day, in fields as disparate as particle physics, chemistry, economics and medicine, but have you ever wondered why it is that a particular experiment has been designed to be the way it is. Indeed, how do you design an experiment to measure something whose value is unknown, and what should your considerations be on deciding whether an experiment has yielded the sought after, or indeed any useful result? These are old questions, and they are the reason behind this volume. We will explore the origins of the methods of data analysis that are today routinely applied to all measurements, but which were unknown before the mid-19th Century. Anyone who is interested in the relationship between the precision and accuracy of measurements will find this volume useful. Whether you are a physicist, a chemist, a social scientist, or a student studying one of these subjects, you will discover that the basis of measurement is the struggle to identify the needle of useful data hidden in the haystack of obscuring background noise.

Despite its technical sophistication, scientific research often has flaws in procedure, logic, and language that ultimately undermine its value. In Essentials of Scientific Research, Devon D. Brewer covers indispensable principles and practices for conducting sound scientific research that are rarely taught or mentioned in textbooks. These frequently overlooked principles and practices are based on common sense and logic. In this book, he focuses on four aspects of doing scientific research: steps and procedures common to all fields, communicating research, working and interacting with others in scientific settings, and intellectual and ethical matters. Brewer uses observations from scientists and philosophers throughout history to highlight the timeless nature of the Essentials. Drawing on his own and others' experiences, he gives practical advice on how to do scientific research well. This book is a reliable reference to consult again and again in negotiating the challenges of research.

This book is devoted to the topic of Systemic Research In The Field Of Human Psychophysiology. In this topic, the following question was interesting to researchers: "Why with principled psychophysiological sameness of humans, qualities differ?" Answers to this and many other questions were found as a result of 40 years of fundamental research carried out by an expert in Chinese culture Andrey Davydov and his colleagues.Among ancient Chinese monuments Russian researcher A. Davydov discovered the Catalog of human population. The title of this ancient source is Shan Hai Jing (Catalog of Mountains and Seas). Official science still does not know for certain the dating of Shan Hai Jing and the author of this text. However, in this source A. Davydov found detailed descriptions of psychophysiological structure of 293 subtypes of the biological type Homo sapiens. Thus, the answer to the question "What is human psyche and what is its structure?" was found."The Catalog of human population is a description of a human as a type by subtype structures. Subtype structure ("psyche", "soul") is a combination of individual archetypes, recorded at the genetic level (principle). Expressions and interaction of subtype structures in manipulation modes and phenological algorithms are described with adjustments for gender, age and cultural differences. Information is recorded on six factors." This definition was developed by A. Davydov-the author of discovery and decryption of the Catalog of human population.Despite that this scientific discovery was made back in the 80s of the XX century, was verified in scientific institutions, has a wide range of practical applications, and for the past 20 years is being used by those who known about it-unfortunately, it shared the fate of many scientific discoveries, which do not fit into traditional scientific concepts. As is known, if something is contrary to an existing paradigm, then it gets rejected as pseudoscience, quackery, flawed experience or simply a figment of imagination. For this reason, the scientific community still prefers to remain silent about the Catalog of human population, even though some very eminent academics have long known about A. Davydov's discovery.The matter was complicated by that for almost a decade a group of officers of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation led by Colonel Andrey Dmitrievich Polonchuk persecuted and tried to physically destroy A. Davydov and his colleague in research-psychologist Olga Skorbatyuk. As a result, they suffered extensive damage to their health, had to leave their homeland and flee to the USA where they were granted political asylum. However, this story is described in detail in another book of the Catalog Of Human Souls series titled Shan Hai Jing-A Book Covered In Blood, while this book is devoted to some of the scientific monographs, presentations made at scientific conferences and scientific articles.This is certainly a very small amount of materials compared to the volume of research carried out between 1974 and 2014 by the author of the scientific discovery of the Catalog human population A. Davydov and his colleagues at the Special Scientific Info-Analytical Laboratory-Catalog Of Human Souls. The reasons for this are wide field for research, strenuous work schedule, and, of course, value priorities.For some time now, we prefer to present results of our scientific research not in scientific articles, but in popular science books, intended for a wide audience. In our view, this is quite logical, as it makes more sense to take the time to tell about the Catalog of human population to those, who are actively using it on practice, instead of those, who prefer ephemeral values such as scientific degrees, awards and authority in the world of science instead of knowledge and benefits, which this knowledge provides. We hope that our colleagues will understand and forgive us for this.

Two hundred years after its publication, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein continues to speak to modern concerns about science, technology, and society. The story of Victor Frankenstein and his creature has become a cultural touchstone through myriad theatrical renditions, movies, and other adaptations and allusions. But Shelley's original tale is far richer and more relevant to contemporary issues than the common interpretation of Frankenstein as a warning against scientific hubris.The authors of the essays in The Rightful Place of Science: Frankenstein examine the roots and origins of Shelley's tragically flawed scientist and his benighted creature. They consider Frankenstein as a parable of creativity and responsibility that can help us better understand our current creative dilemmas. And they show how Shelley's text foreshadows future technological innovations, and the challenges we anticipate from emerging fields such as synthetic biology and artificial intelligence. The bicentennial of this story of a scientist who failed to care for his creation provides an opportunity to explore creativity and responsibility across literary, scientific, social, and cultural dimensions.
