Much Like Us: What Science Reveals about the Thoughts, Feelings, and Behaviour of Animals
by Norbert SachserWhat really differentiates us from our relatives in the animal world? And what can they teach us about ourselves? Taking these questions as his starting point, Norbert Sachser presents fascinating insights into the inner lives of animals, revealing what we now know about their thoughts, feelings and behaviour. By turns surprising, humourous and thought-provoking, Much Like Us invites us on a journey around the animal kingdom, explaining along the way how dogs demonstrate empathy, why chimpanzees wage war and how crows and ravens craft tools to catch food. Sachser brings the science to life with examples and anecdotes drawn from his own research, illuminating the vast strides in understanding that have been made over the last 30 years. He ultimately invites us to challenge our own preconceptions – the closer we look, the more we see the humanity in our fellow creatures.

Muelle e os salta-pedras
by Rafael EstradaAlguma vez vos contei a história de Muelle? Muelle era um menino com nariz de rato, olhar sonhador e cabelos de ouriço. Acreditava que podia fazer qualquer coisa a que se propusesse, tão inocente que ele era. —Gostaria de saltar como os salta-pedras —disse um dia, quase sem saber porquê, suficientemente alto, como que para que os demais o ouvissem. A sua mãe, Ballesta, sorriu como fazem as mães; Resorte, o seu pai, tossiu como tossem os pais; e o avô, acenou com a cabeça para cima e para baixo. Tudo isto acontecia numa manhã ensolarada, quando o Inverno começava já a despedir-se de Pedregal. A relva, deixava-se cair para um lado e depois para o outro, porque o vento assim o queria. Ballesta, mais que ninguém, conhecia a tendência de Muelle a imaginar coisas impossíveis. Penteava-lhe os dois remoínhos insubmissos, com toda a paciência de uma mãe, e preguntou-lhe: —Que loucura é essa de sonhar com saltar, como se não houvesse salta-pedras? —Ah, não é nenhuma loucura, mamã! Certamente que se pode fazer com um pouquito de práctica. —Mas filho, não compreendes que isso é como dizer que à força de te regar, poderás algum dia chegar a dar laranjas ou peras? Muelle desviou a cabeça e franziu o nariz, esforçando-se por entender o que a sua mãe lhe queria dizer. Depois, com um sorriso respondeu-lhe: —Tu sabes que não é a mesma coisa, mamã. Em momento algum lhe ocorreu discutir com o seu filho, porque sabia quão teimoso ele conseguia ser. Por isso, continuou a penteá-lo, olhando para a janela, talvez esperando que dali pudesse vir algum tipo de resposta. Como assim não aconteceu, encolheu os ombros, deixando os remoínhos e Muelle como impossíveis. —Anda, querido —disse-lhe—, toma o pequeno-almoço. Tudo isto acontecia numa manhã ensolarada, quando o Inverno já começava a despedir-se de Pedregal. A

Multi-Species Dementia Studies: Towards an Interdisciplinary Approach
by Nicholas Jenkins, Anna Jack-Waugh and Louise RitchieDementia is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity in the 21st century. Responding to the global dementia challenge, however, affects more than humans alone. We live in a multi-species world but often think about dementia in mono-species ways. From the lab to the living room, other beings are “on the scene” and our relations with them affect how we understand, experience, and respond to dementia. Drawing on cutting-edge work across the social and biological sciences, this book offers readers the tools to respond to dementia in multi-species ways. By exploring a range of topics, from pathology to personhood, contributors highlight how thinking about dementia as a more-than-human phenomenon may enable new ways of responding to our global dementia challenge.
Multidisciplinary Applications of Marine Resources: A Step towards Green and Sustainable Future
by Mohd Rafatullah Riti Thapar Kapoor Masoom Raza Siddiqui Moonis Ali KhanThis book focuses on untapped marine resources for production of biofuel, biogas, bio-fertilizers, nutraceuticals, pharmaceutical and other value-added products. The applications of marine biomass and microbes in human welfare, whether individual or synergistic use, for waste management, climate change mitigation, eco-restoration, and environment protection have also been covered. This book also looks at the solutions to the problem of fossil fuel, which is one of the major sources of environmental pollution and global warming. In this context, marine-based biorefinery represents a promising approach to mitigate climate change as bio-based products are good alternatives to fossil-based fuels and synthetic chemicals due to their capacity for net-negative carbon emissions. This book is a reference material for researchers and scientists working in the field of biorefinery, pharmaceutical industry, bioremediation of contaminants and carbon neutrality for environmental safety.
Multimodal Management of Canine Osteoarthritis (Manson Ser.)
by Steven M. FoxMultimodal Management of Canine Osteoarthritis, Second Edition takes an evidence-based approach to the canine patient with osteoarthritis, pursuing the objective of the best available medicine by a variety of means: multiple drugs, agents, adjuncts and delivery methods. Appreciating that surgical intervention may initially be required, particularly for stabilizing a joint, the major focus in this work is the conservative management of osteoarthritis. A clear and visual approach is taken with the overlapping of two three-pointed triangles of management: medical and non-medical. The completely updated new edition offers a major new chapter on Regenerative Medicine in collaboration with Drs Sherman Canapp and Brittany Jean Carr. It is recommended for any small animal veterinary practitioner, as well as researchers and students of the RCVS CertAVP.
Multiple Sequence Alignments: Which Program Fits My Data?
by Theodor SperleaThis book is a practical guide for biologists who use multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) for their data analysis and are looking for a comprehensive overview of the many different programs. Despite their important role in data analysis, there is uncertainty among researchers about exactly how MSA programs work - not to mention how and why the different analyzes lead to different results. Which program is the right one for evaluating my data and how can I ensure that I have drawn all relevant findings from the alignments? This book offers helpful explanations and background information without requiring extensive bioinformatics knowledge and slowly introduces the reader to the topic.In the first part of the book, the possible fields of application as well as the formats that are usually produced by MSA programs are described in detail. The central algorithms as well as the internal processes of the most common MSA programs of the past and the present are also explained in an uncomplicated manner in greater detail. The second part of the book is a detailed, data-based comparison between MSA programs, which is intended to help you decide which program to use for your next alignment.

by Theodor SperleaDieses Buch ist ein praktischer Ratgeber für Biologinnen und Biologen, die Multiple Sequenzalignments (MSAs) für ihre Datenanalysen verwenden und einen verständlichen Überblick über die vielen verschiedenen Programme suchen. Trotz ihres wichtigen Stellenwertes in der Datenanalyse herrscht Unsicherheit unter den Forschenden wie MSA-Programme genau funktionieren - ganz zu schweigen davon, wie und warum die unterschiedlichen Analysen zu verschiedenen Ergebnissen führen. Welches Programm ist für die Auswertung meiner Daten das richtige und wie kann ich sicherstellen, alle relevanten Erkenntnisse aus den Alignments gezogen zu haben? Dieses Buch bietet hilfreiche Erklärungen und Hintergründe ohne große bioinformatische Vorkenntnisse vorauszusetzen und führt die Leserinnen und Leser langsam in die Thematik ein.Im ersten Teil des Buches werden die möglichen Einsatzfelder wie auch die Formate, die üblicherweise von MSA-Programmen produziert werden, im Detail beschrieben. Ebenso werden auf unkomplizierte Weise die zentralen Algorithmen sowie die inneren Abläufe der gängigsten MSA-Programme der Vergangenheit und der Gegenwart in größerer Detailtiefe erklärt. Den zweiten Teil des Buches bildet ein ausführlicher datenbasierter Vergleich zwischen MSA-Programmen, der als Entscheidungshilfe für die Programmauswahl für dein nächstes Alignment dienen soll.
