Comprender del comportamiento del clima, es de interes en diversos sectores de la produccion. En este sentido, el libro presenta resultados de la investigacion que tenia como proposito describir la incidencia ejercida por el clima en los requerimientos de agua del cultivo de la papa en la region central de Boyaca. Para esto, se presenta un modelo que relaciona la intensidad, duracion y frecuencia de las lluvias (IDF), para describir y predecir el comportamiento de la precipitacion, a traves del analisis probabilistico de la informacion registrada en estaciones agroclimatologicas, ubicadas en la cuenca del rio de la region, donde predomina el cultivo objeto de estudio. Posteriormente, se determinan requerimientos de agua para el cultivo, del calculo y relacion entre: la evapotranspiracion del pasto (ETo), el coeficiente unico (Kc), la evapotranspiracion bajo condiciones estandar (ETc), el coeficiente dual (suma del coeficiente de la evaporacion (Ke) y de la transpiracion (Kcb)) y el coeficiente de estres hidrico. Finalmente, al implementar los modelos anteriores con la caracterizacion del tuberculo y los registros de una estacion agroclimatologica durante 51 anos; se describe el comportamiento del clima, los requerimientos de agua en los posibles periodos del cultivo en cada uno de estos anos y se identifican las epocas que presentaron condiciones climatologicas favorables o desfavorables. Con esta informacion y el modelo IDF se pueden establecer periodos de retorno de los eventos criticos de precipitacion que incidiran en los calendarios de siembra.

Animal disease models are a vital tool to study diseases and associated conditions. Studies on animal models can, in some cases, be used as a basis for modeling and understanding human diseases. Biomedical scientists face a challenge to choose the correct animal model to study disease pathology, and neurological diseases are no exception to this rule. Animal Models for Neurological Disorders covers different animal models which have been used for studying neurological disorders. 13 topical chapters have been contributed by a group of experts on the subject with an aim to cover emerging experimental models of a range of neurological diseases encountered in the clinic including Alzheimers disease, psychosis, Parkinsons, Huntingtons disease, vascular dementia, schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis and brain tumors, among others. The chapters also inform readers about relevant clinical correlations in each disease model where appropriate. Animal Models for Neurological Disorders is intended for all scholarly researchers and students of biomedical sciences, pharmacology, medicine (oncology, neurology, psychiatry), pharmacy, biochemistry, and biotechnology. The organized contents of the book also serve as a quick reference point for scientists working in applied areas of neuroscience including the study of neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive dysfunction in living organisms.

This reference presents information about models utilized in experimental medicine and pharmaceutical research and development for several human diseases. Written by experts in immunology, cancer biology and pharmacology, the book provides readers with handy notes and updated data on animal models that are critical to research planning and lab execution. The main feature of the book is a set of 12 structured chapters that focus on a specific disease such as cancer, infectious diseases, autism, autoimmune diseases, Alzheimers disease and anemia.

Il chimico, biologo e filosofo Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier (1743-1794) e stato uno dei piu importanti personaggi della storia della scienza (enuncio la prima versione della legge di conservazione della massa) ed e unanimemente riconosciuto come il padre della chimica. A causa del suo ruolo di esattore fiscale, venne considerato coinvolto con la monarchia deposta dalla rivoluzione francese e ghigliottinato.GMTYRileva linguaAfrikaansAlbaneseAmaricoAraboArmenoAzeroBascoBengaleseBielorussoBirmanoBosniacoBulgaroCatalanoCebuanoCecoChichewaCinese sempCinese tradCoreanoCorsoCreolo HaitianoCroatoCurdoDaneseEbraicoEsperantoEstoneFilippinoFinlandeseFranceseFrisoneGaelico scozzeseGalizianoGalleseGeorgianoGiapponeseGiavaneseGrecoGujaratiHausaHawaianoHindiHmongIgboIndonesianoIngleseIrlandeseIslandeseItalianoKannadaKazakoKhmerKirghisoLaoLatinoLettoneLituanoLussemburgheseMacedoneMalayalamMaleseMalgascioMalteseMaoriMarathiMongoloNepaleseNorvegeseOlandesePashtoPersianoPolaccoPortoghesePunjabiRumenoRussoSamoanoSerboSesothoShonaSindhiSingaleseSlovaccoSlovenoSomaloSpagnoloSundaneseSvedeseSwahiliTagikoTailandeseTamilTedescoTeluguTurcoUcrainoUnghereseUrduUsbecoVietnamitaXhosaYiddishYorubaZulu AfrikaansAlbaneseAmaricoAraboArmenoAzeroBascoBengaleseBielorussoBirmanoBosniacoBulgaroCatalanoCebuanoCecoChichewaCinese sempCinese tradCoreanoCorsoCreolo HaitianoCroatoCurdoDaneseEbraicoEsperantoEstoneFilippinoFinlandeseFranceseFrisoneGaelico scozzeseGalizianoGalleseGeorgianoGiapponeseGiavaneseGrecoGujaratiHausaHawaianoHindiHmongIgboIndonesianoIngleseIrlandeseIslandeseItalianoKannadaKazakoKhmerKirghisoLaoLatinoLettoneLituanoLussemburgheseMacedoneMalayalamMaleseMalgascioMalteseMaoriMarathiMongoloNepaleseNorvegeseOlandesePashtoPersianoPolaccoPortoghesePunjabiRumenoRussoSamoanoSerboSesothoShonaSindhiSingaleseSlovaccoSlovenoSomaloSpagnoloSundaneseSvedeseSwahiliTagikoTailandeseTamilTedescoTeluguTurcoUcrainoUnghereseUrduUsbecoVietnamitaXhosaYiddishYorubaZulu La funzione vocale e limitata a 200 caratteriOpzioni : Cronologia : Opinioni : Donate Chiudere

Entertaining and insightful -- Evening StandardOne of the most important books of the year... Compelling Jamie Bartlett, Literary ReviewTimely -- New Statesman As the world becomes better connected and we grow ever more dependent on technology, the risks to our infrastructure are multiplying. Whether its a hostile state striking the national grid (like Russia did with Ukraine in 2016) or a freak solar storm, our systems have become so interlinked that if one part goes down the rest topple like dominoes.In this groundbreaking book, former government minister Oliver Letwin looks ten years into the future and imagines a UK in which the national grid has collapsed. Reliant on the internet, automated electric cars, voice-over IP, GPS, and the internet of things, law and order would disintegrate. Taking us from high-level government meetings to elderly citizens waiting in vain for their carers, this book is a wake up call for why we should question our unshakeable faith in technology. But its much more than that: Letwin uses his vast experience in government to outline how businesses and government should respond to catastrophic black swan events that seem distant and implausible - until they occur.

Terrific and enthralling New ScientistFifty years ago, in July 1969, Apollo 11 became the first manned mission to land on the Moon, and Neil Armstrong the first man to step on to its surface. He and his crewmates, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, were the latest men to risk their lives in this extraordinary scientific, engineering and human venture that would come to define the era. In Apollo 11: The Inside Story, David Whitehouse reveals the true drama behind the mission, putting it in the context of the wider space race and telling the story in the words of those who took part based around exclusive interviews with the key players. This enthralling book takes us from the early rocket pioneers to the shock America received from the Soviets launch of the first satellite, Sputnik; from the race to put the first person into space to the iconic Apollo 11 landing and beyond, to the agonising drama of the Apollo 13 disaster and the eventual winding-up of the Apollo program. Here is the story as told by the crew of Apollo 11 and the many others who shared in their monumental endeavour. Astronauts, engineers, politicians, NASA officials, Soviet rivals all tell their own story of a great moment of human achievement.
