Recent Advances in Entomological Research
In recent years the field of entomology, due in part to the penetration of other disciplines, has made rapid progress. “Recent Advances in Entomological Research: From Molecular Biology to Pest Management” includes 25 chapters contributed by more than 40 distinguished entomologists and introduces the latest progress in entomology, from molecular biology, insect-plant interactions and insecticide toxicology, to emerging technologies in pest management. Not only is the book interesting and informative, but it provides useful, innovative research advances and will serve as a valuable resource for entomologists, zoologists, botanists and other researchers in the field of plant protection. Tong-Xian Liu is a professor of entomology at the College of Plant Protection, Northwest A&F University, China. Le Kang is a professor of entomology at the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China.
Innovative Computing
This book gathers peer-reviewed proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Innovative Computing (IC 2020). This book aims to provide an open forum for discussing recent advances and emerging trends in information technology, science, and engineering. Themes within the scope of the conference include Communication Networks, Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management, Web Intelligence, and any related fields that depend on the development of information technology. The respective contributions presented here cover a wide range of topics, from databases and data mining, networking and communications, the web and Internet of Things, to embedded systems, soft computing, social network analysis, security and privacy, optical communication, and ubiquitous/pervasive computing. Readers such as students, researchers, and industry professionals in the fields of cloud computing, Internet of Things, machine learning, information security, multimedia systems, and information technology benefit from this comprehensive overview of the latest advances in information technology. The book can also benefit young investigators looking to start a new research program.

Resistance is Fertile
"For decades, government, industry, and the mainstream media have extolled the virtues of biotechnology. Their dominant message -- that biotechnology can improve everything from our health and diet to our environment and economy -- is unmistakably celebratory. We hear about biotechnology's power to reverse environmental degradation, help medical researchers identify disease genes, and increase industrial efficiency, output, and jobs. Government and industry rarely tell us about biotechnology's negative side effects. Not only are genetically engineered crops still failing to deliver consistently higher yields; there is also mounting evidence that genetically engineered organisms come with a h...
Stories and the Brain
This book explains how the brain interacts with the social world—and why stories matter. How do our brains enable us to tell and follow stories? And how do stories affect our minds? In Stories and the Brain, Paul B. Armstrong analyzes the cognitive processes involved in constructing and exchanging stories, exploring their role in the neurobiology of mental functioning. Armstrong argues that the ways in which stories order events in time, imitate actions, and relate our experiences to others' lives are correlated to cortical processes of temporal binding, the circuit between action and perception, and the mirroring operations underlying embodied intersubjectivity. He reveals how recent neur...
