Earth's Knell The First Landing

By: JT Duxbury

What would you give to begin a new life on a pristine planet with just ten other people. No pollution, no over population of humans. Just fresh air, clear water and fertile ground as far as the eye can see. But then you discover there are some rather large primates living nearby, and those primates have a way of communicating. As a matter of fact, except for their appearance they are very human like. The scenario has some rather blizzard prospects to it, and the crew of the Colony 6 experience a good many of them. Be with the crew as they setout to complete their mission of establishing a colony of humans on a planet fifty light-years from Earth.

Earth's Knell, The Second Landing

By: JT Duxbury

Discription Eight of the ten astronauts sent to colonize a planet revolving around a star fifty-five light years from Earth had perished. With just two to do the work of ten, the mission may be doomed. And, one of the remaining crewmembers has been injured from the cryogenic sleep, leaving Drake VanDam the last man standing. Hominids and Neanderthals roam the planet in search of a better way of life, while one alien from Earth tries to complete a mission designed for ten. There is a love story, a love triangle, a war story, and a new day dawning. With the rewards of a wonderful life for a space explorer who works hard to beat the

Collective Animal Behavior

By: David J. T. Sumpter

Fish travel in schools, birds migrate in flocks, honeybees swarm, and ants build trails. How and why do these collective behaviors occur? Exploring how coordinated group patterns emerge from individual interactions, Collective Animal Behavior reveals why animals produce group behaviors and examines their evolution across a range of species. Providing a synthesis of mathematical modeling, theoretical biology, and experimental work, David Sumpter investigates how animals move and arrive together, how they transfer information, how they make decisions and synchronize their activities, and how they build collective structures. Sumpter constructs a unified appreciation of how different group-living species coordinate their behaviors and why natural selection has produced these groups. For the first time, the book combines traditional approaches to behavioral ecology with ideas about self-organization and complex systems from physics and mathematics. Sumpter offers a guide for working with key models in this area along with case studies of their application, and he shows how ideas about animal behavior can be applied to understanding human social behavior. Containing a wealth of accessible examples as well as qualitative and quantitative features, Collective Animal Behavior will interest behavioral ecologists and all scientists studying complex systems.

Elements of Simulation

By: Byron J.T. Morgan

The use of simulation in statistics dates from the start of the 20th century, coinciding with the beginnings of radio broadcasting and the invention of television. Just as radio and television are now commonplace in our everyday lives, simulation methods are now widely used throughout the many branches of statistics, as can be readily appreciated from reading Chapters 1 and 9. The book has grown out of a fifteen-hour lecture course given to third-year mathematics undergraduates at the University of Kent, and it could be used either as an undergraduate or a postgraduate text. Simulation may either be taught as an operational research tool in its own right, or as a mathematical method which cements together different parts of statistics and which may be used in a variety of lecture courses. In the last three chapters indications are made of the varied uses of simulation throughout statistics. Alternatively, simulation may be used to motivate subjects such as the teaching of distribution theory and the manipulation of random variables, and Chapters 4 and 5 especially will hopefully be useful in this respect.

Analysis of Quantal Response Data

By: Byron J.T. Morgan

This book takes the standard methods as the starting point, and then describes a wide range of relatively new approaches and procedures designed to deal with more complicated data and experiments - including much recent research in the area. Throughout mention is given to the computing requirements - facilities available in large computing packages like BMDP, SAS and SPSS are also described.
