This exploration of SEE as a key competence in the primary school classroom features practical guidance on developing social and emotional education throughout the school environment, and assesses its benefits to students, teachers, and parents alike.

One of the pervasive phenomena in the history of science is the development of independent disciplines from the solution or attempted solutions of problems in other areas of science.

This book explains system dynamics using analogies familiar to mechanical engineers, while introducing new content in an intuitive fashion. Offers an online instructor section with in-class experiments, and incorporates MATLAB (R) programming examples throughout.

Each chapter of this book focuses on an area of sleep medicine, offering examples of content mapping to Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) competencies, learning objectives, instructional methods and assessment tools.

This work advocates the restoration of the North American tallgrass prairie, which is rapidly disappearing. Historical descriptions of prairie aesthetics are outlined. A worldwide mixing of plant species makes prairie restoration particularly important.

Historic techniques, instrumentation and positioning, photographic techniques, cranial anatomy and the cranial flap, and intracranial anatomy as seen from the frontolateral or pterional approach are clearly discussed and illustrated from the operating (right sided) surgeons' perspective.

Physical symptoms are fascinating phenomena to examine. Despite the pervasiveness, importance, and sheer amount of time and money devoted to discussing and curing common physical symptoms and sensations, very little empirical work has been devoted to examining the psychological and perceptual factors related to sensory experience.

Lateral preferences are strange, puzzling, and on the surface, not particularly adaptive aspects of behavior. Yet when one looks at human behaviors more carefully, one becomes aware that asymmet rical behaviors favoring one side or the other are actually a fairly universal characteristic of human beings.

Eric Kandel and his colleagues have provided us with the most exciting contemporary approach to the conceptualization and study of cellular mechanisms for behavior.

This Third Edition of Principles of Seed Science and Technology. A new chapter on seed enhancement has been added to reflect the significant advancements made in the last 10 years on new physiological and molecular biology techniques to further enhance seed performance.

Specifically targeted at the food industry, this state-of-the-art text/reference combines all the principal methods of statistical quality and process control into a single, up-to-date volume.

TO THE SECOND EDITION When preparing the manuscript for the original edition of this book we were only partly aware of the pace at which the field of membrane transport was developing and at which new ideas as well as new techniques would be applied to it.

The last twenty years have witnessed an enormous development of nuclear physics. The further development of our understanding of the nucleus has depended, and still depends, on the development of ever more powerful experimental techniques for measuring nuclear properties and more powerful theoretical techniques for correlating these properties.

The mediastinum is a virtual compartment in the chest cavity that is the seat of several vital organs and structures that can be involved in a variety of pathologic processes, including congenital and developmental abnormalities, inflammatory conditions, and benign and malignant neoplasms.

National Intellectual Capital (NIC), comprised mainly of human capital, market capital, process capital, renewal capital and financial capital, is a valuable intangible asset and a key source of national competitive advantage in today's knowledge economy.

Software Engineering Techniques Applied to Agricultural Systems presents cutting-edge software engineering techniques for designing and implementing better agricultural software systems based on the object-oriented paradigm and the Unified Modeling Language (UML).

This multidisciplinary examination of the four major professional sports leagues in the USA-football, basketball, ice hockey, and baseball-analyzes the leagues' long-term competitive advantage from economic, political, and strategic management perspectives.

This book provides up-to-date analytical tools to address challenging operational problems in renewable energy production facilities, such as wind- and solar-based generation units. It includes many illustrative examples.

With comprehensive treatment of applied mathematical modeling in economics, population biology, and environmental science, this popular publication has been updated to textbook format for its second edition, which emphasizes control and optimization.

This book offers tools to analyze complex societal issues using insights gained from informed estimates and calculations. It demonstrates the transition from physics to laws and treaties focusing on such issues as national security, environment, and energy.

This book, written for the logistics manager and researcher, presents an authoritative survey of the modern theory and application of logistics, including case studies in which decision support tools for large-scale logistics applications are developed.

This book introduces a wide variety of mathematical methods, such as signal processing, systems identification, and stochastic differential equations, to an undergraduate audience interested in biological dynamics. Includes exercises and examples.

This book provides an introduction to modern statistics. It also offers an integrated treatment of mathematical statistics and statistical computation, emphasizing statistical modeling, computational techniques, and applications.
