Climate Change and Global Food Security Edited by

R. Lal, N. Uphoff, B.A. Stewart, and D.O. Hansen

Central Science Laboratory, York, England, UK

Series: Books in Soils, Plants, and the Environment, 109

As current methods used in ecological risk assessments for pesticides are largely deterministic, quantifiable results garnered using probabilistic methods are attracting growing interest from industries and governments. This book identifies which methods are most appropriate for pesticide assessment and explores their appropriateness as a common suite for general use. The authors discuss classical and Bayesian approaches, various types of Monte Carlo analysis, first order error analysis, probability bounds analysis, interval analysis, and fuzzy mathematics. The authors then examine how these methods can be used in assessments for other environmental contaminants.

Written by a team of top soil scientists and ecologists, this book discusses the impact of projected climate change on soil quality, water resources, temperature regime, and fluctuations in growing season duration on net primary productivity of different biomes. It addresses soil carbon dynamics under changing climate and the impact of changes in carbon dioxide and ecological environments on agronomic yields and food production in different regions of the world. The book explores world food demands and supply during the 21st century, policy and economic issues related to carbon trading and agricultural production, and research and development priorities for enhancing soil carbon pool and food security.

University of Maine, Orono, USA

As the number of stranger-on-stranger crimes increases, solving these crimes becomes more challenging. Forensic illustration has become increasingly important as a tool in identifying both perpetrators and victims. Now a leading forensic artist, who has taught this subject at law enforcement academies, schools, and universities internationally, offers readers the benefit of her extensive knowledge and experience in this unique book. Containing more than 700 illustrations and photographs, Forensic Art and Illustration is the first book to provide complete coverage of all aspects of the field and includes much previously unavailable information.

In a broad-based, multidisciplinary volume, Forensic Taphonomy: The Postmortem Fate of Human Remains explains the links between the study of death assemblages by archaeologists and paleontologists (taphonomy) and the application of physical anthropology concepts to the medicolegal investigation of death (forensic anthropology). It covers a variety of topics, such as archaeological methods and techniques, chemical aspects of decomposition, decay and mummification, and degradation of DNA and other organic remains. Review articles, case reports, and chapters on methodology round out this book’s unique approach to forensic science.

Written by two of the foremost scientists in paleontology and zoology, this compendium provides a detailed review of animal and plant fossil behavior in both terrestrial and aquatic environments. It includes a wide range of subjects and time periods and also compares patterns of behavior and co-evolution in the past with those of the present-day descendants. There is further discussion on how to evaluate the rates of evolution of behavior and co-evolution at various taxonomic levels. The work is written in a style understandable to students, teachers, and researchers in the various fields. The text includes many new findings never published previously and reports not easily accessed.

Unique in its approach, this work updates our understanding of human variation by employing both laboratory and field perspectives. Written by a team of scientists representing four continents, it reviews the way we examine and analyze human variation with special reference to genetics, growth and development, and physiology. In describing the main factors influencing human variation, it delves into environmental plasticity, lifestyle, and heritability of characteristics. A significant part of the focus is on the methodology and analytical techniques, detailing field and laboratory approaches, and looking at how the two perspectives complement each other.

Epigenetic changes are essential to normal development, but these changes can also cause problems including the disabling of genes that suppress tumors. At present more than a dozen drugs that target epigenetic changes are in clinical trials. Epigenetics in Biology and Medicine offers a comprehensive overview of epigenetics, both in normal functions and disease states. This book presents contributions from international experts, addressing both theoretical and methodological issues. It discusses cell biology and the role of epigenetics in human, animal, and plant diseases. The text also covers DNA methylation inhibitors, histone modifications, epigenomics, and the impact that diet has on epigenetic changes.

With the revolutionary explosion of genetic information discovery in recent decades, it is important to realize the underlying limitations of scientific prediction in genetics. Avoiding unnecessary technical details, this book helps readers accept and embrace a probabilistic view and understand the role of randomness in critical biological processes. It explores the nature of genetic uncertainty from different points of view and at different levels of biological organization. The book also traces the origin of some ideas of randomness starting from the basics of quantum mechanics and molecular genetics to modern evolutionary genetics and the philosophy of mathematics.

Animal Hematotoxicology A Practical Guide for Toxicologists and Biomedical Researchers

The Center for Medicolegal Research & Consultation, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA

G.O. Evans

Pediatric homicide investigations are often clouded by a number of factors, not the least of which is a lack of straightforward information. Designed for quick access, this volume provides an invaluable resource for medical examiners, police, child abuse investigators, and attorneys. Focusing on forensic pathology aspects, this book covers all typical causes of death, including asphyxiation, intentional drowning, abdominal trauma, head injury, poisoning, and intentional starvation. Each of the chapters considers medical and investigative difficulties associated with that particular cause, includes illustrative photographs, and provides the means to confirm the diagnosis.

Hematology data from in vivo toxicology studies remains one of the most predictive measures for human risk, as the same measurements made in preclinical toxicology studies can be made in early clinical trials. Covering the three main blood cell types, this work is designed to clarify topics for new entrants in laboratory animal hematology and toxicology. An entire chapter is devoted to immunotoxicology. The text also addresses pre-analytical and analytical variables, as these tend to be more difficult to control in animal studies. Information has been collated from published papers, textbooks, and unpublished data. Key references are provided to encourage further study.

Series: Research Methods for Mutant Mice

University of California, Los Angeles, California, USA Series: Frontiers in Neuroscience, 6

More than 3000 mutant mice strains have been created through genetic manipulation, and while many molecular techniques are straight forward, analysis of anatomic changes can be a challenge for even the best pathologist. To keep up with current interest in the endocrine system, this volume provides researchers with both a survey and a guide concerning use of the mutant mouse in histological studies of various glands. Applying full color throughout, this atlas illustrates the similarities and differences between the mouse endocrine system and that of other species including humans. It includes approximately 50 highmagnification color plates and a variety of sectioned embryos post conception.

Addressing a rapidly growing area of neuroscience, Methods in Pain Research is a single volume survey of the methods used to study a reaction or “sensory report” in humans that can only be inferred by indirect means in animal or tissues studies. It contains source material, useful advice, guidance to specific details, and examples of current usage. The book examines techniques used in studying pain, including gene linkage, brain imaging methods, the use of transgenic rodent models, painful sensory neuropathy models, and more. The material also covers conventional methods of pain study, such as anatomical and electophysiological techniques. It is a guide to the strategies of experimental design.

This book documents the development and validation of a novel threedimensional sediment transport and morphological numerical model suitable for coastal regions. It discusses the modelling of both suspended and bed-load transport of non-cohesive sediment, important aspects of the morphological updating scheme, and approaches used to model the three-dimensional effects of waves on coastal hydrodynamics. It also presents the results of several validation studies and demonstrates the performance of the model in several theoretical, laboratory, and full-scale test cases. The author critically analyzes the application of the model and acceleration techniques to the complex and dynamic entrance to Willapa Bay, Washington, USA.

Written by an outstanding group of contributors, this book examines the function and structure of coastal lagoonal ecosystems and the natural and anthropogenic drivers of change that affect them, most notably nutrient over-enrichment from coastal watersheds and airsheds. The contributors target the susceptibility of coastal lagoons to eutrophication, the indicators of eutrophic conditions, the influences of natural factors such as major storms and other climate effects, and the resulting biotic and ecosystem impairments that have developed. The book compares biogeochemical and ecological response to nutrient enrichment and other pollutants in lagoonal estuaries to those in other estuarine types.

Demonstrating that many useful resources, such as databases, can benefit most bioinformatics projects, this handbook focuses on how to choose and use various methods and programs available for HMMs. It explores HMM implementations important in bioinformatics, including SAM, HMMER, Wise2, PSI-BLAST, and Meta-MEME, and shows how numerous databases and programs, such as Pfam, SMART, SUPERFAMILY, and PANTHER, are used in bioinformatics projects. With the inclusion of problems sets in each chapter and a CD-ROM of related material, the book discusses the use of HMMs for discovering the homology of a protein family, explains how to build custom HMM databases, and offers solutions to help overcome slow searches.

As no experiment can be successful without good data produced at the first stage, microarray image analysis is a key for high-throughput bioinformatics technologies. However, it has received relatively little attention. This book, the first to focus on this topic, provides an in-depth technical guide to the creation of algorithms for an automated approach to DNA microarray image analysis. The initial chapters provide biological and image analysis background, while the later chapters focus on specific areas of the image analysis process: image transformations, structure extrapolation, and feature identification. Concepts are illustrated throughout by examples relying on real bioinformatics data.
