Modelamiento estadístico de datos:
Este libro ha sido elaborado pensando en un lector con conocimientos básicos de probabilidad e inferencia estadística que necesite el uso de algunas herramientas estadísticas, útiles para la exploración, la descripción y el análisis confirmatorio de la información, principalmente de la asociación entre una variable (respuesta o dependiente) y otras variables (independientes, covariables o factores). Para tal fin se utilizan modelos de regresión. El análisis de regresión ha sido una metodología y herramienta estadística empleada en diferentes áreas de la ciencia y la tecnología. Así, ciencias de la salud, epidemiología, biología, demografía, economía, ingeniería, actuaria, ciencias sociales, la pedagogía, la psicología, entre otras áreas, emplean este análisis como medio para hacer visible las relaciones entre variables para coadyuvar en la explicación y pronóstico, basta cambiar el escenario de las aplicaciones e ilustraciones para hacer de este texto un instrumento de apoyo en las áreas señaladas.
Análisis estadístico de datos categóricos
El libro recorre el tema del análisis estadístico de datos categóricos, necesario para que los profesionales de las áreas biológicas, agrícolas, de salud y afines adquieran los conocimientos y herramientas necesarios para un apropiado análisis de datos. En los primeros capítulos se exponen y afianzan conceptos básicos orientados a la comprensión de las herramientas de análisis de datos expuestas en los capítulos posteriores. Se introducen conceptos de estadística no paramétrica como alternativa de análisis, ya que, en la mayoría de los casos, los datos categóricos provenientes de los estudios biológicos no satisfacen los supuestos estadísticos estándar. Se hace especial énfasis en la implementación de los análisis haciendo uso del software libre R.
The Leatherback Turtle
The most comprehensive book ever written on leatherback sea turtles. Weighing as much as 2,000 pounds and reaching lengths of over seven feet, leatherback turtles are the world’s largest reptile. These unusual sea turtles have a thick, pliable shell that helps them to withstand great depths—they can swim more than one thousand meters below the surface in search of food. And what food source sustains these goliaths? Their diet consists almost exclusively of jellyfish, a meal they crisscross the oceans to find. Leatherbacks have been declining in recent decades, and some predict they will be gone by the end of this century. Why? Because of two primary factors: human redevelopment of nestin...
The Seven Pillars of Statistical Wisdom
What gives statistics its unity as a science? Stephen Stigler sets forth the seven foundational ideas of statistics—a scientific discipline related to but distinct from mathematics and computer science. Even the most basic idea—aggregation, exemplified by averaging—is counterintuitive. It allows one to gain information by discarding information, namely, the individuality of the observations. Stigler’s second pillar, information measurement, challenges the importance of “big data” by noting that observations are not all equally important: the amount of information in a data set is often proportional to only the square root of the number of observations, not the absolute number. Th...
Freshwater Biodiversity
Fresh waters are disproportionately rich in species, and represent global hotspots of biodiversity. However, they are also hotspots of endangerment.
Greening Markets
Asia has experienced massive economic growth, characterized by rapid urbanization and industrialization, changing demographics, and increasing consumption and demand for resources. This has contributed to significant environmental degradation. The challenge faced by governments in the region is in identifying and implementing innovative and dynamic policy approaches that are effective at improving environmental quality while sustaining development gains. This report reviews past and ongoing applications of market-based instruments to address air quality, water, and waste management in Asia. It provides recommendations for the use of market-based instruments for more efficient and effective environmental management.

The Routledge Handbook of Anthropology and Reproduction
The Routledge Handbook of Anthropology and Reproduction is a comprehensive overview of the topics, approaches, and trajectories in the anthropological study of human reproduction. The book brings together work from across the discipline of anthropology, with contributions by established and emerging scholars in archaeological, biological, linguistic, and sociocultural anthropology. Across these areas of research, consideration is given to the contexts, conditions, and contingencies that mark and shape the experiences of reproduction as always gendered, classed, and racialized. Over 39 chapters, a diverse range of international scholars cover topics including: Reproductive governance, stratif...
Art and Cosmotechnics
In light of current discourses on AI and robotics, what do the various experiences of art contribute to the rethinking of technology today? Art and Cosmotechnics addresses the challenge of technology to the existence of art and traditional thought, especially in light of current discourses on artificial intelligence and robotics. It carries out an attempt on the cosmotechnics of Chinese landscape painting in order to address this question, and further asks: What is the significance of shanshui (mountain and water) in face of the new challenges brought about by the current technological transformation? Thinking art and cosmotechnics together is an attempt to look into the varieties of experiences of art and to ask what these experiences might contribute to the rethinking of technology today.
Soil Protists
Protists are by far the most diverse and abundant eukaryotes in soils. Nevertheless, very little is known about individual representatives, the diversity and community composition and ecological functioning of these important organisms. For instance, soil protists are commonly lumped into a single functional unit, i.e. bacterivores. This work tackles missing knowledge gaps on soil protists and common misconceptions using multi-methodological approaches including cultivation, microcosm experiments and environmental sequencing. In a first part, several new species and genera of amoeboid protists are described showing their immense unknown diversity. In the second part, the enormous complexity of soil protists communities is highlighted using cultivation- and sequence-based approaches. In the third part, the present of diverse mycophagous and nematophagous protists are shown in functional studies on cultivated taxa and their environmental importance supported by sequence-based approaches. This work is just a start for a promising future of soil Protistology that is likely to find other important roles of these diverse organisms.
