A Primer of Ecological Genetics
Jeffrey K. Conner , and Daniel L. Hartl Manufacturer: Sinauer Associates ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 087893202X |
Book Description
This book covers basic concepts in population and quantitative genetics, including measuring selection on phenotypic traits. The emphasis is on material applicable to field studies of evolution focusing on ecologically important traits. Topics addressed are critical for training students in ecology, evolution, conservation biology, agriculture, forestry, and wildlife management.Many texts in this field are too complex and mathematical to allow the average beginning student to readily grasp the key concepts. A Primer of Ecological Genetics, in contrast, employs mathematics and statisticsfully explained, but at a less advanced levelas tools to improve understanding of biological principles. The main goal is to enable students to understand the concepts well enough that they can gain entry into the primary literature. Integration of the different chapters of the book shows students how diverse concepts relate to each other.

Cladistics: A Practical Primer on CD-ROM
Peter Skelton , Andrew Smith , and Neale Monks Manufacturer: Cambridge University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 0521523419 |
Book Description
Cladistics and phylogenetic reconstruction are difficult subjects for biology students to learn when taught from conventional textbooks. This interactive CD provides students with a complete self-study, introductory course in phylogenetic reconstruction using cladistic analysis. Including animated sequences, questions at the end of each section, and practical exercises, it is the first exclusively pedagogical CD-ROM devoted to the topic. Students who finish the course should have a basic understanding of cladistics and the reconstruction of phylogenetic relationships from morphological and molecular data.

21st Century Complete Guide to RHIC Collider at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, High Energy Nuclear Physics, Particle Physics (CD-ROM)
World Spaceflight News Manufacturer: Progressive Management ProductGroup: Book Binding: CD-ROM ASIN: 1592483631 |
Book Description
This up-to-date electronic book on CD-ROM covers the RHIC (Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider) at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory is a world-class scientific research facility that began operation in 2000, following 10 years of development and construction. Hundreds of physicists from around the world use RHIC to study what the universe may have looked like in the first few moments after its creation. RHIC drives two intersecting beams of gold ions head-on, in a subatomic collision. What physicists learn from these collisions may help us understand more about why the physical world works the way it does, from the smallest subatomic particles, to the largest stars. Current RHIC experiments. Current experiments using the facility include BRAHMS, PHENIX, PHOBOS, and STAR.Established in 1947, the Brookhaven National Laboratory is a multi-program national laboratory operated by Brookhaven Science Associates for the U.S. Department of Energy. Located on Long Island, New York in Upton, BNL employs 3000 scientists, engineers, technicians and support staff and over 4000 guest researchers annually conduct research. Five Nobel Prizes have been awarded for discoveries made at BNL. BNL's role is to produce excellent science and advanced technology by carrying out basic and applied research in long-term, high-risk programs at the frontier of science. Coverage features dramatic color photography and extensive experimental reporting.
This CD-ROM has over 16,000 pages reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software and Reader software for Windows and Mac is included. Advanced search and indexing features are built into Acrobat Reader, providing a complete full-text index. The Acrobat cataloging technology adds enormous value and uncommon functionality.

Lectures on Quark Matter (Lecture Notes in Physics)
Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 3540432345 |
Book Description
This set of lectures deals with the transition from nuclear matter to quark matter. The reader will learn not only about the theory of quark-gluon plasmas but also how they are obtained in the laboratory through heavy-ion collisions or where they can be found in astrophysical objects such as compact stars. The book fills a gap between well-known textbook material and the research literature and is thus perfectly suited for postgraduate students who wish to enter this field, for lecturers looking for advanced material for their courses and for scientists in search of a modern source of reference on these topics.

New States of Matter in Hadronic Interactions: Pan- American Advanced Study Institute (AIP Conference Proceedings / High Energy Physics)
Manufacturer: American Institute of Physics ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0735400865 |
Book Description
Nuclear and particle physicists are searching for evidence of a new state of elementary matter with the constituents of nucleons and quarks, roaming freely in a deconfined state known as the quark-gluon plasma. To create the required conditions for this new phase to occur in the laboratory, relativistic heavy ion experimental facilities have been developed where heavy nuclei can collide at highly relativistic energies. Such collisions have the potential to provide, albeit for a very short time duration, the high energy density and temperature within an extended elementary volume, allowing the formation of this new phase. This text, co-authored by many experts, provides an elementary introduction and also surveys current experimental accomplishments. Many students participated in the write up of the lectures which are thus at an accessible level. An introduction to the research program in Latin America is offered in the spirit of the Pan-American Advanced Study Institute.
