How scientists are unravelling one of the most tantalizing questions in paleontology Our understanding of dinosaur behavior has long been hampered by the inevitable lack of evidence from animals that went extinct more than sixty-five million years ago and whose daily behaviors are rarely reflected by the fossil record. Today, with the discovery of new specimens and the development of new and cutting-edge techniques, paleontologists are making major advances in reconstructing how dinosaurs lived and acted. Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior provides an unparalleled look at this emerging field of science, presenting the latest findings on dinosaur behavior and explaining how researchers interpret th...
Učebnice Základy lékařské fyziky srozumitelně popisuje základní fyzikální vztahy a metody, se kterými se student může nejčastěji setkat v klinické nebo experimentální medicíně. Lékařská fyzika je specifická tím, že se zabývá aplikací fyzikálních metod na živý organismus. Je tedy interdisciplinárním vědním oborem, který spojuje fyziku a biologické vědy. Věříme, že páté, aktualizované vydání této knihy, které je rozšířené o nové kapitoly a doplněné novými obrázky, si opět najde své čtenáře nejen z lékařských, ale i dalších oborů, např. z biomedicínského inženýrství. Metody, které jsou v učebnici vysvětleny, se zakl...
