Contents Preface 1 An Introduction to Remote Sensing 2 Sensors and Instruments 3 Satellite Systems 4 Data Reception Archiving and Distribution 5 Lasers and Active Aircraft Remote Sensing Systems 6 Ground Wave and Sky Wave Radar Techniques 7 Active Microwave Instruments IndexRemote sensing may be taken to mean the observation of or gathering information about a target by a device separated from it by some distance The expression remote sensing was coined by geographers at the US Office of Naval Research in the 1960s at about the time that the use of spy satellites was beginning to move out of the military sphere and into the civilian sphere Remote sensing is often regarded as being synonymous with the use of artificial satellites and in this regard one may call to mind glossy calendars and coffee-table books of LANDSAT images of various parts of the Earth of the satellite images that are frequently shown on television weather forecasts Satellites do play an important role in remote sensing but it should be appreciated that remote sensing activity not only precedes the expression but dates from long before the launch of the first artificial satellite There are a number of ways of gathering remotely sensed data which do not involve satellites and which indeed have been in use for very much longer than satellites For example virtually all of astronomy can be regarded as being built upon the basis of remote sensing data However this book is concerned with terrestrial remote sensing Jacket 122 pp.…

Hugo Munsterberg was the first social scientist at Harvard who sought to merge protestant orientation of American philosophy psychology and sociology with German positive and experimental science. In doing so he affirmed an independent social utility for science in a way that emphasizes positivism's essential assumption that social causes exit are discoverable by objective experimentation and can be rationally utilized to construct a better society. 264 pp. …

Contents Preface 1 A source book of commercial geography 2 Economic statistics 3 Commodities Index"The great geographical fact on which commerce depends is that different parts of the world yield different products or furnish the same products under unequally favourable conditions Hence there are two great results of commerce the first to increase the variety of commodities at any particular place; the second to equalise more or less according to the facilities for transport the opportunities for obtaining any particular commodity in different places between which commerce is carried on Among the difficulties of transport to be overcome we here include all the profits necessarily levied in the transference of goods from hand to hand profits of exchangeThe variety of products in different places is due either to artificial production whether by cultivation or manufacture or to original distribution The original distribution of minerals of economic value is an important matter for consideration in commercial geography but under this head we must consider not merely the latitude and longitude of the place of occurrence but all the varied conditions local political or historical which help to render mineral deposits commercially available Original distribution under the same provisos is likewise the prime consideration in the case of forest products where the forests have not been planted by the hand of man" jacket 376 pp.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A consolidated and comprehensive reference on ligand-binding assaysLigand-binding assays (LBAs) stand as the cornerstone of support for definition of the pharmaco-kinetics and toxicokinetics of macromolecules, an area of burgeoning interest in the pharmaceutical industry. Yet, outside of the Crystal City Conference proceedings, little guidance has been available for LBA validation, particularly for assays used to support macromolecule drug development. Ligand-Binding Assays: Development, Validation, and Implementation in the Drug Development Arena answers that growing need, serving as a reference text discussing critical aspects of the development, validation, and implementation of ligand-binding assays in the drug development field.Ligand-Binding Assays covers essential topics related to ligand-binding assays, from pharmacokinetic studies, the development of LBAs, assay validation, statistical LBA aspects, and regulatory aspects, to software for LBAs and robotics and other emerging methodologies for LBAs. Highlights include:\* A general discussion of challenges and proven approaches in the development of ligand-binding assays\* More detailed examination of characteristics of these assays when applied to support of pharmacokinetic and toxicokinetic studies of compounds at different stages in the discovery or development timeline\* A concise, but detailed, discussion of validation of ligand-binding assays for macromolecules\* A practical approach to 'fit-for-purpose' validation of assays for biomarkers, those molecules receiving increased attention as potentially demonstrating that the target chosen in discovery is being modulated by the candidate therapeutic, both in nonclinical and clinical studiesWritten by a team of world-recognized authorities in the field, Ligand-Binding Assays provides key information to a broad range of practitioners, both in the pharmaceutical and allied industries and in related contract research organizations and academic laboratories and, perhaps, even in the field of diagnostics and clinical chemistry.…
