The Reception of Darwinism in the Iberian World
I Twenty-five years ago, at the Conference on the Comparative Reception of Darwinism held at the University of Texas in 1972, only two countries of the Iberian world-Spain and Mexico-were represented.' At the time, it was apparent that the topic had attracted interest only as regarded the "mainstream" science countries of Western Europe, plus the United States. The Eurocentric bias of professional history of science was a fact. The sea change that subsequently occurred in the historiography of science makes 1972 appear something like the antediluvian era. Still, we would like to think that that meeting was prescient in looking beyond the mainstream science countries-as then perceived-in orde...
Los sistemas de diálogo
El libro ofrece una visión global de los sistemas de diálogo, tanto en su faceta tecnológica como lingüística. Las contribuciones, a cargo de diez especialistas, tienen un marcado carácter pluridisciplinar y recogen planteamientos generales a la vez que proyectos concretos. Es fruto del Curso de Tecnologías Lingüísticas que, centrado en los sistemas de diálogo, organizó la Fundación Duques de Soria durante el periodo 2003-2005. Reúne trabajos en los que se describen tanto aspectos lingüísticos como tecnológicos de los módulos que integran un sistema de diálogo. Las aportaciones se han concebido de modo que puedan ser leídas por expertos de uno y otro campo, poniendo énfas...
Triathlon Medicine
This book offers an ultimate clinical guide to all the medical issues related to triathlon – a very popular Olympic and international sport, and the most modern of all the endurance activities. Triathletes experience a range of environmental conditions and physiological demands, depending on the race, that must be taken into consideration when preparing for medical assistance. The book addresses in detail the topics of cardiovascular adaptations, overuse injuries, overtraining syndrome, endurance anaemia, nutrition and the physiological aspects associated with the discipline. It provides information on the training and technical aspects of the different distances in triathlon disciplines, with a special focus on safety in open-water swimming. Dedicated chapters also cover issues related to female, young, master and para-triathletes. Combining research perspectives with many years of experience practicing in the field, this book offers sport medicine physicians, orthopedists, physical therapists and coaches a comprehensive guide to the evaluation, treatment and prevention of all the overuse conditions and to improving athletes’ performance.
Using Language
Herbert Clark argues that language use is more than the sum of a speaker speaking and a listener listening. It is the joint action that emerges when speakers and listeners, writers and readers perform their individual actions in coordination, as ensembles. In contrast to work within the cognitive sciences, which has seen language use as an individual process, and to work within the social sciences, which has seen it as a social process, the author argues strongly that language use embodies both individual and social processes.
Anaerobic Parasitic Protozoa
In this book internationally acclaimed researchers critically review the most important aspects of research on anaerobic parasitic protozoa, providing the first coherent picture of their genomics and molecular biology since the publication of the genomes. Chapters are written from a molecular and genomic perspective and contain speculative models upon which future research efforts can be based. Topics include: the genomes of Entamoeba histolytica, Trichomonas vaginalis, Giardia and other diplomonads; the cytoskeletons of Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia and Trichomonas vaginalis; genomic.
Defects and doping in Cu2O
This book is the Francesco Biccari's PhD thesis in physics, defended at the Sapienza - University of Rome in February 2010. The thesis deals with the study of the defects and doping of cuprous oxide (Cu2O) a very long studied semiconductor. The interest in Cu2O is due to its optical properties, its low cost and low toxicity which make it a perfect candidate for low cost photovoltaic cells.
Immigration, Security and the Liberal State
Shows how liberal states reconcile the migration trilemma which has pitted markets, rights and security against each other since 9/11.
