The Behavioural Biology of Zoo Animals

Zoo animals as a population are a diverse array of species from all around the globe. When managed in captivity it is important that key aspects of natural ecology are factored into animal care as well as considerations relating to welfare life history and behavioural needs. The Behavioural Biology of Zoo Animals is the first book on captive animal behaviour and how this applies to welfare. The book enables all aspects of zoo husbandry and management (nutrition enclosure design handling and training enrichment population management) to be based on a sound knowledge of the species its evolutionary history and its natural history. Chapters from expert authors cover a vast range of taxa from primates and elephants to marine mammals and freshwater fish to reptiles birds and invertebrates. A final part looks to the future considering animal health and wellbeing the visitor experience and future visions for zoos and aquariums. For on-the-ground practitioners as well as students of zoo biology animal science and welfare this book provides an explanation of key areas of behavioural biology that are important to fulfilling the aims of the modern zoo (conservation education research and recreation). It explains how evidence from the wild can be implemented into captive care to support the wider aims of the zoo shedding light on the evidence-based approaches applied to zoo biology and animal management.

Motion Structures Deployable Structural Assemblies of Mechanisms

The Open Access version of this book available at http://www. routledge. com has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4. 0 license. Motion structures are simply assemblies of resistant bodies connected by movable joints. Unlike conventional structures they allow large shape transformations to satisfy practical requirements and they can be used in: shelters emergency structures and exhibition stands aircraft morphing wings satellite solar panels and space antennas morphing core materials for composites medical implants for minimum invasive surgery. Though traditionally the subject falls within structural engineering motion structures are more closely related to other mechanisms and they draw on the principles of kinematic and geometrical analysis in their design. Indeed their design and analysis can be viewed as an extension of the theory of mechanisms such as rigid origami and can make effective use of a wealth of mathematical principles. This book outlines the relevant underlying theory of motion structural concepts and uses a number of innovative but simple structures as examples. | Motion Structures Deployable Structural Assemblies of Mechanisms

Cells in Evolutionary Biology Translating Genotypes into Phenotypes - Past Present Future

This book is the first in a projected series on Evolutionary Cell Biology the intent of which is to demonstrate the essential role of cellular mechanisms in transforming the genotype into the phenotype by transforming gene activity into evolutionary change in morphology. This book —Cells in Evolutionary Biology — evaluates the evolution of cells themselves and the role cells have been viewed to play as agents of change at other levels of biological organization. Chapters explore Darwin’s use of cells in his theory of evolution and how Weismann’s theory of the separation of germ plasm from body cells brought cells to center stage in understanding how acquired changes to cells within generations are not passed on to future generations.

Pattern Language for Game Design

Chris Barney’s Pattern Language for Game Design builds on the revolutionary work of architect Christopher Alexander to show students teachers and game development professionals how to derive best practices in all aspects of game design. Using a series of practical rigorous exercises designers can observe and analyze the failures and successes of the games they know and love to find the deep patterns that underlie good design. From an in-depth look at Alexander’s work to a critique of pattern theory in various fields to a new approach that will challenge your knowledge and put it to work this book seeks to transform how we look at building the interactive experiences that shape us. Key Features: Background on the architectural concepts of patterns and a Pattern Language as defined in the work of Christopher Alexander including his later work on the Fifteen Properties of Wholeness and Generative Codes. Analysis of other uses of Alexander’s work in computer science and game design and the limitations of those efforts. A comprehensive set of example exercises to help the reader develop their own patterns that can be used in practical day-to-day game design tasks. Exercises that are useful to designers at all levels of experience and can be completed in any order allowing students to select exercises that match their coursework and allowing professionals to select exercises that address their real-world challenges. Discussion of common pitfalls and difficulties with the pattern derivation process. A guide for game design teachers studio leaders and university departments for curating and maintaining institutional Pattern Languages. An Interactive Pattern Language website where you can share patterns with developers throughout the world (patternlanguageforgamedesign. com). Comprehensive games reference for all games discussed in this book. Author Chris Barney is an industry veteran with more than a decade of experience designing and engineering games such as Poptropica and teaching at Northeastern University. He has spoken at conferences including GDC DevCom and PAX on topics from core game design to social justice. Seeking degrees in game design before formal game design programs existed Barney built his own undergraduate and graduate curricula out of offerings in sociology computer science and independent study. In pursuit of a broad understanding of games he has worked on projects spanning interactive theater live-action role-playing game (LARP) design board games and tabletop role-playing games (RPGs).

Human-Centred Autonomous Shipping

Tracing the development of autonomous and automated shipping from a hype of unmanned ships to a more realistic use of automation to augment humans in maritime operations this book shows why human factors and human-centred design are essential to the endeavour. Themes addressed in the book include technology and cybersecurity regulation and classification and competence and skills. It combines commentary and insight from experts across the industry as well as academia and describes a roller-coaster ride from conceptual idea via a period of hype where technologists and engineers enthusiastically advocated a rapid development as many others in the maritime industry felt compelled but struggled to follow and finally to a more measured view as cumulative experience started to show the limitations risks and the lack of a generic business case. This book is intended for anyone working in researching in or simply interested in shipping and the maritime domain and the evolution of autonomous shipping.
