A Translation of Bloodsucking Ticks (Ixodoidea)—Vectors of Diseases of Man and Animals
First published in 1968, this is a 1972 translation of the groundbreaking book A Translation of Bloodsucking Ticks (Ixodoidea)—Vectors of Diseases of Man and Animals, by Yu. S. Balashov. The book examines the morphology and anatomy of ticks, their life cycle, feeding and feeding mechanisms, activity stages, reproduction, and how they serve as agents and vectors for transmissible infections and viruses.
An Annotated Reprint of Yu. S. Balashov's 1972 Book Bloodsucking Ticks (Ixodoidea)-Vectors of Diseases of Man and Animals
Some scientific books become enduring classics, providing exceptional value and insights long after their creation. The 1972 translation of Yuri Balashov's Bloodsucking Ticks (Ixodoidea)-Vectors of Diseases of Man and Animals is one such book. Despite being more than 50 years old, Balashov's book provides unique insights on the morphology, biology, and physiology of both hard and soft ticks and the features that have made them such successful vectors of disease. Now, this new annotated reprint combines the wisdom of the original volume with a wealth of updates and comments, particularly regarding the taxonomy changes that have occurred since the original publication. Arriving at a time when tick-borne diseases are experiencing a global resurgence, this volume will become an essential resource for public health entomologists and others working to control ticks and the viruses, bacteria, and protozoa they transmit.
Persistence and Spacetime
Material objects persist through time and survive change. How do they manage to do so? What are the underlying facts of persistence? Do objects persist by being "wholly present" at all moments of time at which they exist? Or do they persist by having distinct "temporal segments" confined to the corresponding times? Are objects three-dimensional entities extended in space, but not in time? Or are they four-dimensional spacetime "worms"? These are matters of intense debate, which is now driven by concerns about two major issues in fundamental ontology: parthood and location. It is in this context that broadly empirical considerations are increasingly brought to bear on the debate about persist...
Silica Glass and Binary Silicate Glasses
Physical Sciences Data, Volume 15: Handbook of Glass Data: Silica Glass and Binary Silicate Glasses, Part A presents information on the systems capable of forming glasses by cooling melts. This book provides data on the crystallization rates of glasses. Organized into six chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the melt properties for the glass-forming systems. This text then examines the notion of a component that is very significant for determining the number of components in each investigated glass. Other chapters consider the contents of several oxides of the same element but in different valent state as the reason to transfer a glass to the category of the increased number of components. This book discusses as well the analytical composition of glass. The final chapter deals with flotation method using tetrabromoethane and benzene mixture. This book is a valuable resource for glass specialists, chemists, engineers, scientists, and information science workers.
