Learning to Smell

Olfactory Perception from Neurobiology to Behavior

By: Donald A. Wilson,Richard J. Stevenson

Written by a neurobiologist and a psychologist, this volume presents a new theory of olfactory perception. Drawing on research in neuroscience, physiology, and ethology, Donald A. Wilson and Richard J. Stevenson address the fundamental question of how we navigate through a world of chemical encounters and provide a compelling alternative to the "reception-centric" view of olfaction. The major research challenge in olfaction is determining how the brain discriminates one smell from another. Here, the authors hold that olfaction is generally not a simple physiochemical process, but rather a plastic process that is strongly tied to memory. They find the traditional approach—which involves identifying how particular features of a chemical stimulus are represented in the olfactory system—to be at odds with historical data and with a growing body of neurobiological and psychological evidence that places primary emphasis on synthetic processing and experiential factors. Wilson and Stevenson propose that experience and cortical plasticity not only are important for traditional associative olfactory memory but also play a critical, defining role in odor perception and that current views are insufficient to account for current and past data. The book includes a broad comparative overview of the structure and function of olfactory systems, an exploration into the mechanisms of odor detection and olfactory perception, and a discussion of the implications of the authors' theory. Learning to Smell will serve as an important reference for workers within the field of chemical senses and those interested in sensory processing and perception.

The Art of Tennis

An Innovative Review of Tennis Highlights 2019-2021

By: Dominc J. Stevenson

Opening with Wimbledon 2019, The Art of Tennis covers the excitement of the sport up to the profound silence of the Covid-19 pandemic—when no tennis was played for a year—through Wimbledon 2021. As play began to resume, there were many questions surrounding its return, and the author examines these and how the sport of tennis fights to prevail as the virus continues to redefine modern life. The book follows the latest comebacks from Roger Federer, Serena Williams, and Andy Murray and looks at how Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Alexander Zverev reached their first major finals. In the women's game, Barbora Krejčíková, Bianca Andreescu, and Sofia Kenin make big stage breakthroughs, and Naomi Osaka continues to rule on hard courts. In late 2020, the calendar looked different. The tours adapted as best they could, and some remarkable tennis took place in empty arenas. 2021 saw tournaments finding a way to coincide with the virus that is reshaping daily life. With thoughtful observations, author Dominic Stevenson comments on the many aspects of professional tennis, both on and off the courts, providing his own unique perspective on this beautiful sport.

Flavins and Flavoproteins 1996

Proceedings of the Twelfth International Symposium, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, 30 June--6 July 1996

By: Charles Haddon Williams

This publication, a collection of 174 papers, encompasses the fundamental and intricate photochemistry and electron transfer of flavins and flavoproteins, the mechanisms associated with enzymes utilising flavins (such as dehydrogenases, reductases, oxidases, monooxygenases, synthases, peroxidases), the three-dimensional structures of flavoproteins and flavoenzymes and the emerging role of flavins and flavoproteins in medicine. Flavins and Flavoproteins 1996 continues the series which has appeared every three years since 1965. Presented are overviews of key areas of flavin research, coupled with the most recent understanding of the chemistry/photochemistry of flavins and the structure/function relationship of numerous proteins/enzymes that use flavins as essential cofactors. Key Features: Detailed studies on the structure and mechanism of flavoenzymes are reported together with newly discovered medical aspects; New research of high quality with extensive data, figures and bibliographies; The interaction of flavins with other electron carriers such as the cytochromes, metals, and non-heme iron centres is investigated with a variety of spectrophotometric techniques; NMR and crystallography studies have provided new three-dimensional structures of several flavoenzymes and flavoproteins; Numerous papers on an extensive number of flavoenzymes and complex flavoproteins are presented.

Learning Principles, Processes and Practices

By: Rosemary J. Stevenson,Joy Palmer

This book gives an up-to-date and lively account of the cognitive psychology of learning and places it firmly in the context of educational practice. It is a judicious mix of theoretical principles and the application of these principles to practical situations in the classroom. It is, therefore, an ideal text for students, teachers and educationalists alike. Psychology students will also benefit from this book, which emphasizes the practical applications of cognitive psychology. The authors discuss a number of important and topical issues, such as the differences between problem solving, memorizing and understanding, metacognition and motivation, and relate these issues to teaching in the core areas of the curriculum."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Operations Management

By: William J. Stevenson,Mehran Hojati,James Cao,Hydeh Mottaghi,Behrouz Bakhtiari

The material in this book is intended as an introduction to the field of operations management. The topics covered include both strategic issues and practical applications. Among the topics are forecasting, product and service design, capacity planning, management of quality and quality control, inventory management, scheduling, supply chain management, and project management. My purpose in revising this book continues to be to provide a clear presentation of the concepts, tools, and applications of the field of operations management. Operations management is evolving and growing, and I have found updating and integrating new material to be both rewarding and challenging, particularly due to the plethora of new developments in the field, while facing the practical limits on the length of the book. This text offers a comprehensive and flexible amount of content that can be selected as appropriate for different courses and formats, including undergraduate, graduate, and executive education"--
