Genetic Theory of Reality

Genetic Theory of Reality

James Mark Baldwin left a legacy that has yet to be fully examined one with profound implications for science and the humanities. In some sense it paralleled that of his friend Charles Sanders Peirce whose semiotics became understood only a century later. Baldwin was trying to make sense of complex biological and social processes that only now have come into the limelight as biological sciences have re-emerged in psychology. Baldwin's focus on development based on the observation of his own children and extrapolated to his general theoretical scheme is fully in line with where contemporary biological sciences are heading. This is exemplified by the bounded flexibility of the work of the genetic system. The general principle of persistent exploration of the environment with the result of creating novelty which was the core of Baldwin's theoretical system has since the 1960s become the guiding idea in genetics. Contemporary developmental science is rooted in Baldwin's thinking. In his new introduction Jaan Valsiner shows that Baldwin's Genetic Theory of Reality demonstrates how human beings are in their nature social beings establishes an alternative conceptualization of evolutionary theory and formulates a system of developmental logic all of which serve as the foundation for developmental psychology as a whole. This is a work of social science rediscovery long overdue.

Principles of Toxicology Testing

Principles of Toxicology Testing

Nationally toxicology programs have evolved from a traditional exploration of the chemistry and applied toxicity of chemicals and drugs to a more comprehensive study of toxicology and toxicology testing as independent entities. Consequently the second edition of Principles of Toxicology Testing starts with basic toxicological principles including absorption distribution metabolism and elimination of toxins including chemicals and drugs. The book then continues with animal (in vivo) and in vitro toxicology testing methods associated with toxicological analysis and preclinical drug development. As in the first edition the book begins with an introduction into the fundamentals of toxicology (Section I) to prepare readers for the subsequent topics and continues through with a discussion of toxicokinetics and human risk assessment. This introductory material is useful in understanding the applications of toxicology testing. Section II describes the fundamental principles of toxicology testing in animals in greater detail. This section describes acute toxicity studies as well as subchronic and chronic studies performed on animals. Special emphasis is placed on study design and determination of classical indicators for acute and chronic testing such as the LD50. The book examines other short- and long-term animal toxicity testing methodologies including dermal ocular and reproductive toxicity testing. In addition mutagenicity and carcinogenicity studies are also discussed in separate chapters. Section III introduces and discusses in vitro alternatives to animal toxicology tests. This section emphasizes cell culture methodology and cellular methods for acute systemic toxicity target organ toxicity and local toxicity. The contributors present the advantages and disadvantages of alternative methods. They also describe the use of high-throughput screening and its applications the concepts of standardizatio

Ultrasonic Nondestructive Testing of Materials Theoretical Foundations

Ultrasonic Nondestructive Testing of Materials Theoretical Foundations

Ultrasonic Nondestructive Testing of Materials: Theoretical Foundations explores the mathematical foundations and emerging applications of this testing process which is based on elastic wave propagation in isotropic and anisotropic solids. In covering ultrasonic nondestructive testing methods the book emphasizes the engineering point of view yet it relies on the physics and mathematics aspects involved in elastic wave propagation theory. As a result this resource becomes a missing link in the literature by combining coverage of the theoretical aspects of testing and providing intuitive assessments of numerous standard problems to illustrate fundamental assertions. Content includes a brief description of the theory of acoustic and electromagnetic fields to underline the similarities and differences as compared to elastodynamics. It also covers vector algebra and analysis elastic plane and Rayleigh surface waves and ultrasonic beams as well as transducer radiation inverse scattering and ultrasonic nondestructive imaging. Includes numerical computations to explain wave propagation phenomena and compare results of analytical formulations Although ultrasonic nondestructive testing can often be roughly understood in terms of plane waves and beams this book addresses the key issues of transducer radiation and defect scattering and imaging respectively. The authors physically formulate point source synthesis and in mathematical terms they use representation integrals with Green functions always including intuitive interpretations with mathematical evaluations. Replacing cumbersome index notation with a coordinate-free version this reference offers step-by-step documentation of relevant tensorial elastodynamic cases involving isotropic and anisotropic materials. It provides all necessary mathematical tools readers require to understand the mathematical and physical basis for ultrasonic nondestructive testing. | Ultrasonic Nondestructive Testing of Materials Theoretical Foundations

Genetics and Randomness

Genetics and Randomness

Analyzes Randomness in Major Genetic Processes and Events No matter how far science advances the proportion of what is knowable to what is random will remain unchanged and attempts to ignore this critical threshold are futile at best. With the revolutionary explosion in genetic information discovery it is crucially important to recognize the underlying limitations of scientific prediction in genetics. Genetics and Randomness furthers the understanding of the role randomness plays in critical biological processes. The book also navigates the complex nature of genetic uncertainty from different points of view and at various levels of biological organization. Avoids Unnecessary Technical Details and Specific Terminology Exploring areas ranging from basic quantum mechanics and molecular genetics to modern evolutionary genetics and the philosophy of mathematics this well-organized text discusses: Spontaneity of mutations and their relation to subatomic randomness Deep links between subatomic fluctuations and long-term macroscopic changes in living organisms The multitude of random events that occur during development Segregation genetic drift and natural selection Randomness and uncertainty are not occasional and regretful deviations from the true principles upon which life is built. Genetics and Randomness illustrates the ubiquitous nature of randomness as an integral feature of all essential processes effectively embracing a probabilistic understanding of the phenomena of life.
