A guide to the issues relevant to the design, analysis, and interpretation of toxicity studies that examine chemicals for use in the environmentStatistical Analysis of Ecotoxicity Studies offers a guide to the design, analysis, and interpretation of a range of experiments that are used to assess the toxicity of chemicals. While the book highlights ecotoxicity studies, the methods presented are applicable to the broad range of toxicity studies. The text con...

This second edition expands on the previous volume by incorporating state-of-the-art electrophysiological and anatomical methods and their application to the study of several systems of the brain involved in a range of functions. Chapters in this edition cover topics such as the value and difficulty of multi-site recordings using depth or surface electrodes; an assessment of different electrophysiological techniques used in non-human animals and humans; applying single-unit and ensemble re...

This book takes a ground-breaking approach to peace theory and practice at a time of multiplying global crises. It draws on the Lacanian-Hegelian dialectical materialism to rethink the way we think peace, conflict and violence as amongst multiple, overlapping crises including climate change, contemporary conflict, the threat of nuclear war, pandemics, the rise of far-right racism and growing class divisions.Such an approach may seem surprising. While Lacanian-Hegelian scholars have...

This volume covers the latest advancements in staining techniques, and protocols and process data using various bioinformatic approaches. The chapters in this book are divided into broad themes of traditional immunohistochemistry, advanced spatial proteomics, and spatial genomics. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readil...

This second edition volume expands on the previous edition with new protocols that offer biochemical, biophysical, and biological assays for studying macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and D-dopachrome tautomerase (D-DT). The chapters in this book cover topics such as generation of MIF peptides via solid phase peptide synthesis; fragment screening of MIF by surface plasmon resonance; MIF NMR chemical shift perturbation mapping; methods to determine the role of MIF in cilia biogen...

This book offers a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to understanding and preventing police misconduct in the twenty-first century. Drawing on empirical research across multiple jurisdictions, it explores how our understanding of police misconduct has evolved over time, tracing the changing view of how misconduct emerges, evolves, and persists within law enforcement organisations. Through detailed analyses of stress, typologies, disciplinary systems, prediction and early intervention,...

This book provides a fresh perspective on the relationships between gravitation, electrodynamics, and quantum physics. Designed for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers with a background in mathematical physics, it organizes key ideas into a series of paradigms inspired by the history of scientific discoveries, from Aristotle and Euclid to modern physics. Framed within the language of modern differential geometry, these paradigms rely on essential concepts such as fiber bundles a...

This volume details methods on abscission that can be applied by scientists studying organ abscission. Chapters guide readers through organ abscission on diverse species including rice, Setaria viridis, Arabidopsis, yellow lupine, tomato and Nicotiana benthamiana, rose, oil palm, apple, litchi, Areca catechu, and fir. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, li...

This Palgrave Pivot strives to recount and understand Indigenous Law, as set within a remote community in northern Australia. It pays close attention to the realpolitik and high-level political functioning of Indigenous Laws, which inspires a discussion of how this Law models the relational, influences governance and emplaces people in an ordered kincentric lifeworld. The book argues that Indigenous Law can be examined for the ways in which it is a deliberate, stabilizing and powerful forc...

This book offers a radically different perspective on the topic of health inequity. Carey, Tai, and Griffiths use Perceptual Control Theory (PCT) to deconstruct current approaches to understanding, investigating, and addressing problems of health inequity. In the book, the authors propose that health inequity is not a problem per se. Disrupted control, they argue, is the problem that needs to be addressed.From this perspective, research, policy, and health practices direct...
