Galfard Christophe: Life Is In Your
Hands

Life Is In Your Hands

A comprehensive overview of the behavioral ecology of a highly social group of North American mammalsBest known for their large colonies, complex burrows, and frequent alarm calls, prairie dogs are diurnal, herbivorous rodents endemic to the grasslands of western North America. Prairie Dogs synthesizes forty-five consecutive years of John Hoogland's pioneering field research on the ecology and social behavior of these remarkable animals, including many far-reaching discoveries published here for the first time. Hoogland investigates all four species of prairie dogs that inhabit the western United States, offering invaluable insights about cooperation and competition among social animals living under natural conditions. He examines topics ranging from alarm calls, mating, predation, and vigilance to conservation, dispersal, population dynamics, and potential avenues for future research. Hoogland presents a wealth of new findings, describing how prairie dogs give alarm calls not only for offspring but also for more distant kin such as nieces, nephews, and first cousins. He documents how females reap substantial benefits from copulating with more than one male; how they avoid incest with offspring, parents, and siblings but regularly copulate with more distant kin; how nonparental infanticide is a major cause of juvenile mortality and varies directly with colony density; and how females of one species improve reproductive success by killing nearby ground squirrels. Rich in personal stories and comparisons with more than five hundred other species ranging from amoebas to humans, this beautifully illustrated book is essential reading for behavioral ecologists and conservation biologists as well as mammalogists and curious naturalists. Hoogland's magnum opus offers a master class in how to do careful long-term research.

Rethinking Why and How Childhood Adversity Shapes Development

The Nature of Nurture

Debating the use of genomic tools and their societal impactOver the past decade, the field of human genetics has produced an extraordinary range of discoveries-including the refinement of polygenic scores, which use a person's DNA to estimate their likelihood of developing a trait or disease. But are these new technologies ready to leave the research lab and be deployed in schools, fertility clinics, and the wider world? In What We Inherit, Sam Trejo and Daphne Martschenko offer different perspectives on the societal impact of the rapidly unfolding DNA revolution. Trejo, a sociologist and expert on the complex ways people's genes influence their life's trajectory, believes that new genomic tools-if used thoughtfully-can improve society; Martschenko, a bioethicist who specializes in the thorny social issues raised by biomedical advances, is more cautious. They debate both the risks and the opportunities posed by such new technologies as at-home genetic tests and polygenic embryo selection-all while engaging in a wide-ranging dialogue on ideology, biology, and social inequality. While grappling with these new technologies, Trejo and Martschenko remind us that we inherited from our ancestors not only DNA but also wrong-headed ideas about genes. Together, they caution against two particularly harmful genetic myths: that genes determine an individual's future, and that race and genetics are inherently connected. A polygenic score, for example, is not a definitive marker for disease. And race is a sociopolitical construct, not a biological identity. Trejo and Martschenko argue that, to avoid exacerbating social inequality, we need to begin regulating genomic tools sooner rather than later.

How New Technologies and Old Myths Are Shaping Our Genomic Future

What We Inherit

Training in clinical chemistry is acquired via different avenues that include didactic lectures on pathophysiology of disease, methodologies and practical aspects of testing, and through attendance of operations meetings, sign-out sessions, seminars and tutorials. There is little instruction on how to apply the vast amount of knowledge gained in the process to practice. In other branches of medicine, cases are regularly presented with clinical information and therapeutic interventions which form the basis of training. Diagnostic Reasoning: Laboratory-Based Case Studies in Clinical Chemistry fills this gap for clinical chemistry. The concise and practical approach of the book, including real-life scenarios, is an excellent resource for pathology trainees, clinical laboratory science students, clinical chemistry fellows, clinical laboratory professionals, and clinicians. These cases help professionals remain competent in the field and be successful in their board exams. The cases are stated as they present, often with no or few clinical details accompanying the sample request with only barcoded samples arriving into the laboratory. In a busy laboratory, thousands of these cases are received daily and it is impossible to review the clinical information associated with the specimens.

Additive manufacturing enables integrated part manufacture of superalloy parts, especially for the aerospace and power industries. The understanding of non-equilibrium physics, solidification processing routes, metallurgy and computational simulation is essential to enable designers, and practitioners to design and develop superalloy parts.

Neurotoxicity is epidemic in modern society. While in recent years there has been an explosion of basic toxicological research concerning neurotoxicity, this information has not been translated for clinical practice. As a result, health professionals are in the dark as to the potential causes of neurotoxicity, the signs and symptoms, and the treatment. The Neurotoxicity Guidebook, 2nd Edition will provide an overview of the field of applied neurotoxicology, in-depth case reports showing a method for evaluating cases of neurotoxicity, in-depth coverage of some specific neurotoxic agents, and an introduction to treating neurotoxicity cases.

Why Our Species is on the Edge of Extinction

The Decline and Fall of the Human Empire

Glial Mechanisms in Sleep and Circadian Biology presents a comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of the role of glial cells in numerous, often unexpected, aspects of sleep. It seamlessly links glial cell activity to the multi-system processes that affect sleep. Experts in the field discuss how glial cells influence the sleep-wake cycle, the accumulation and discharge of sleep drive, the timing of sleep and wake across the 24-hour day, and how glial cells may govern important sleep functions (e.g., brain plasticity and metabolism). This is a book that could well change scientists’ and practitioners’ traditional beliefs about the factors underlying sleep. Users will find the book's content at the forefront of one of the hottest topics in basic sleep research. Over the last decade, scientists have made breakthrough discoveries revealing that sleep is not only a product of neurons, but of neuronal-glial interactions.
