Recognising and Responding to Animal Emotion in a Shared World

Recognising and Responding to Animal Emotion in a Shared World

How is it that depending on the setting the same cat can be perceived as a homeless annoyance a potential research subject or a thinking and feeling family member? The answer is bound up in our perception of non-human animals’ capacity to experience emotions and this book draws on contemporary evidence-based research observations interviews and anecdotal case scenarios to explore the growing knowledge base around animal emotion. Acknowledging that animals can experience feelings directly affects the way that they are perceived and treated in many settings and the author explores the implications when humans apply – or ignore – this knowledge selectively between species and within species. This information is presented within the unique context of a proposed hierarchy of perceived non-human animals' emotional abilities (often based on human interpretation of the animal’s emotional capacity) with examples of how this manifests at an emotional spiritual and moral level. Implications for specific groups living with caring for or working with non-human animals are examined making the book of particular interest to those working studying or researching in the veterinary professions; animal ethics law and welfare; and zoology biology and animal science. This book will also be fascinating reading for anyone interested in simply learning more about the animals with whom we share this planet. For some readers it will validate the reciprocal emotional bond they feel for living creatures. For others it will raise questions about the moral treatment of sentient non-human beings breaking down the human protective barrier of cognitive dissonance and activating a cycle of change. | Recognising and Responding to Animal Emotion in a Shared World

The Omega-Factor Promoting Health Preventing Premature Aging and Reducing the Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death

The Omega-Factor Promoting Health Preventing Premature Aging and Reducing the Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death

Omega-3 fatty acids can limit the inflammation that is the underlying cause of many severe diseases of modern civilization including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The Omega-Factor: Promoting Health Preventing Premature Aging and Reducing the Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death presents information on the mechanisms whereby inflammation damages organs and the blood vessels serving them as well as the hard science on the mechanisms by which the omega-3 fatty acids protect those tissues. It also features peer-reviewed evidence from clinical trials on these topics. The book gives cutting-edge information from state-of-the-art developments such as the test that can be done to measure the omega-3 status of one’s own tissues the “Omega-3 Index” which can give many years of early warning so that one can take preventive steps and decrease the odds of a heart attack stroke or kidney disease. It explains why a Mediterranean diet plan rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids is protective and it features a six-day meal plan with recipes that will improve body levels of omega-3s. This book helps readers understand the differences between various sources of omega-3 fatty acids namely flaxseed vs fish oil vs algae-derived oils. Features • Provides evidence-based information on why blood vessels require omega-3 fatty acids to maintain health • Details best sources of the various fatty acids including plant-based sources • Includes “at-home tests” to assess cardiovascular status • Presents literature on how to improve chances of avoiding heart attacks peripheral arterial disease strokes kidney disease and Type 2 diabetes The Omega-Factor: Promoting Health Preventing Premature Aging and Reducing the Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death is an essential resource for healthcare professionals clinicians and dietitians as well as for the reader who aims to achieve the goal of a much longer health-span not just a longer lifespan. | The Omega-Factor Promoting Health Preventing Premature Aging and Reducing the Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death

Genomics Data Analysis False Discovery Rates and Empirical Bayes Methods

Genomics Data Analysis False Discovery Rates and Empirical Bayes Methods

Statisticians have met the need to test hundreds or thousands of genomics hypotheses simultaneously with novel empirical Bayes methods that combine advantages of traditional Bayesian and frequentist statistics. Techniques for estimating the local false discovery rate assign probabilities of differential gene expression genetic association etc. without requiring subjective prior distributions. This book brings these methods to scientists while keeping the mathematics at an elementary level. Readers will learn the fundamental concepts behind local false discovery rates preparing them to analyze their own genomics data and to critically evaluate published genomics research. Key Features:* dice games and exercises including one using interactive software for teaching the concepts in the classroom* examples focusing on gene expression and on genetic association data and briefly covering metabolomics data and proteomics data* gradual introduction to the mathematical equations needed* how to choose between different methods of multiple hypothesis testing* how to convert the output of genomics hypothesis testing software to estimates of local false discovery rates* guidance through the minefield of current criticisms of p values* material on non-Bayesian prior p values and posterior p values not previously published | Genomics Data Analysis False Discovery Rates and Empirical Bayes Methods

AI for Creativity

AI for Creativity

What is computational creativity? Can AI learn to be creative? One of the human mind’s most valuable features is the capacity to formulate creative thoughts an ability that through quantum leap innovations has propelled us to the current digital age. However creative breakthroughs are easier said than done. Appearing less frequently and more sporadically than desired it seems that we have not yet fully cracked the creative code. But with the rapid advances in artificial intelligence which have come to provide an ever-closer proximity with the cognitive faculties of mankind can this emerging technology improve our creative capabilities? What will that look like and will it be the missing link in the man–machine enigma? AI for Creativity provides a fascinating look at what is currently emerging in the very cutting-edge area of artificial intelligence and the tools being developed to enable computational creativity that holds the propensity to dramatically change our lives.

Large Hadron Collider Phenomenology

Large Hadron Collider Phenomenology

With the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) under construction and due to come online in 2007 it is appropriate to engage in a focused review on LHC phenomenology. At a time when most of the experimental effort is centered on detector construction and software development it is vitally important to direct the experimental community and in particular new researchers on the physics phenomena expected from the LHC. Large Hadron Collider Phenomenology covers the capabilities of LHC from searches for the Higgs boson and physics beyond the standard model to detailed studies of quantum chromodynamics the B-physics sectors and the properties of hadronic matter at high energy density as realized in heavy-ion collisions. Written by experienced researchers and experimentalists this reference examines the basic properties and potentials of the machine detectors and software required for physics analyses. The book starts with a basic introduction to the standard model and its applications to the phenomena observed at high energy collisions. Later chapters describe the key technological challenges facing the construction of the LHC machine the operating detectors of the LHC and the vast computing grid needed to analyze the data. In the final sections the contributors discuss the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) explore questions and predictions for the LHC program and examine the physics opportunities of the LHC using information from the forward region. By surveying the difficult challenges of the LHC development while also assessing the novel processes that the LHC will perform Large Hadron Collider Phenomenology aids less seasoned physicists as well as existing researchers in discovering the numerous possibilities of the LHC.
