Revision of the Modified Mouthparts Species Group of Hawaiian Drosophila (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

The Ceratostoma, Freycinetiae, Semifuscata, and Setiger Subgroups, and Unplaced Species

By: Karl N. Magnacca,Patrick M. O Grady

The modified mouthparts group is perhaps the largest of the four major Hawaiian Drosophila clades, yet has received relatively little taxonomic attention during the past 40 years. This study reviews unplaced species and the ceratostoma, freycinetiae, semifuscata, and setiger subgroups, with descriptions of 22 new species. We hope this work encourages greater study of the biology of this important group.

Future Earth

Advancing Civic Understanding of the Anthropocene

By: Diana Dalbotten,Gillian Roehrig,Patrick Hamilton

Earth now is dominated by both biogeophysical and anthropogenic processes, as represented in these two images from a simulation of aerosols. Dust (red) from the Sahara sweeps west across the Atlantic Ocean. Sea salt (blue) rises into the atmosphere from winds over the North Atlantic and from a tropical cyclone in the Indian Ocean. Organic and black carbon (green) from biomass burning is notable over the Amazon and Southeast Asia. Plumes of sulfate (white) from fossil fuel burning are particularly prominent over northeastern North America and East Asia. If present trends of dust emissions and fossil fuel burning continues in what we call the Anthropocene epoch, then we could experience high atmospheric CO2 levels leading to unusual warming rarely experienced in Earth's history. This book focuses on human influences on land, ocean, and the atmosphere, to determine if human activities are operating within or beyond the safe zones of our planet's biological, chemical, and physical systems. Volume highlights include: Assessment of civic understanding of Earth and its future Understanding the role of undergraduate geoscience research and community-driven research on the Anthropocene Effective communication of science to a broader audience that would include the public, the K-12 science community, or populations underrepresented in the sciences Public outreach on climate education, geoscience alliance, and scientific reasoning Future Earth is a valuable practical guide for scientists from all disciplines including geoscientists, museum curators, science educators, and public policy makers.

How Successes and Failures in School Relate to Adolescent Smoking, Drinking, Drug Use, and Delinquency

By: Jerald G. Bachman,Patrick M. O'Malley,John E. Schulenberg,Lloyd D. Johnston,Peter Freedman-Doan,Emily E. Messersmith

Does success in school protect teenagers from drug use? Does drug use impair scholastic success? This book tackles a key issue in adolescent development and health - the education-drug use connection. The authors examine the links and likely causal connections between educational experiences, delinquent behavior, and adolescent use of tobacco, alco

TEAM SINAI

By: PATRICK O'GRADY

The United States maintains the policy, "We do not negotiate with terrorists" Tension is building at the highest level of government as questions continue to be asked by insiders, about the most publicly forgotten loss of life amongst the military in a century. The CIA and other agencies continue to track a mole within the Department of Defense. All leads point towards a single terrorist training organization with connections world wide. A funding operation brought the terrorist onto American soil and soon after it was discovered that an American was among the terrorists. A team of soldiers was assembled to put an end to the questions and to the terrorists. The team had been brought together for each of their specialties. Each member has also witnessed events over the years that in some manner connect them to this mission. Once American hostages are taken the former 101st MFO veterans find themselves once again in the sands of the Sinai.

Drosophila

A Guide to Species Identification and Use

By: Therese A. Markow,Patrick O'Grady

Anyone wishing to tap the research potential of the hundreds of Drosophila species in addition to D.melanogaster will finally have a single comprehensive resource for identifying, rearing and using this diverse group of insects. This is the only group of higher eukaryotes for which the genomes of 12 species have been sequenced.The fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster continues to be one of the greatest sources of information regarding the principles of heredity that apply to all animals, including humans. In reality, however, over a thousand different species of Drosophila exist, each with the potential to make their own unique contributions to the rapidly changing fields of genetics and evolution. This book, by providing basic information on how to identify and breed these other fruitflies, will allow investigators to take advantage, on a large scale, of the valuable qualities of these other Drosophila species and their newly developed genomic resources to address critical scientific questions.* Provides easy to use keys and illustrations to identify different Drosophila species* A guide to the life history differences of hundreds of species* Worldwide distribution maps of hundreds of species* Complete recipes for different Drosophila diets* Offers an analysis on how to account for species differences in designing and conducting experiments* Presents useful ideas of how to collect the many different Drosophila species in the wild

Big Data for Urban Sustainability

A Human-Centered Perspective

By: Stephen Jia Wang,Patrick Moriarty

This book presents a practical framework for the application of big data, cloud, and pervasive and complex systems to sustainable solutions for urban environmental challenges. It covers the technologies, potential, and possible and impact of big data on energy efficiency and the urban environment. The book first introduces key aspects of big data, cloud services, pervasive computing, and mobile technologies from a pragmatic design perspective, including sample open source firmware. Cloud services, mobile and embedded platforms, interfaces, operating system design methods, networking, and middleware are all considered. The authors then explore in detail the framework, design principles, architecture and key components of developing energy systems to support sustainable urban environments. The included case study provides a pathway to improve the eco-efficiency of urban transport, demonstrating how to design an energy efficient next generation urban navigation system by leveraging vast cloud data sets on user-behavior. Ultimately, this resource maps big data’s pivotal intersection with rapid global urbanization along the path to a sustainable future.
