Principles of Animal Biometeorology

By: Roberto Gomes da Silva,Alex Sandro Campos Maia

The book begins by describing in detail the mechanisms of energy exchange – radiative, convective, conductive and evaporative – together with techniques for their determination. The discussion extends to the importance of CO2, ozone and methane, together with that of aerosol pollutants and the evolution of atmospheric CO2. Subsequent chapters apply the results of the biophysical methods to mammals, birds and aquatic animals. Discussion includes problems of shelter and shade for animals in tropical environments and techniques for the thermal evaluation for shelters and for several tree types. The details of heat exchange between animals and the environment are presented, in separate chapters covering Mammals and Birds and Aquatic Mammals. A chapter on Shade and Shelter describes the importance of shade for animals, factors of shade efficiency, the protections offered by shelter and methods of calculating the protection afforded by both shade and shelter. A Special Methods chapter offers a variety of techniques for evaluating cutaneous and respiratory evaporation, and practical methods for sampling of hairs and the evaluation of hair coat characteristics.

Border as Method, or, the Multiplication of Labor

By: Sandro Mezzadra,Brett Neilson

Far from creating a borderless world, contemporary globalization has generated a proliferation of borders. In Border as Method, Sandro Mezzadra and Brett Neilson chart this proliferation, investigating its implications for migratory movements, capitalist transformations, and political life. They explore the atmospheric violence that surrounds borderlands and border struggles across various geographical scales, illustrating their theoretical arguments with illuminating case studies drawn from Europe, Asia, the Pacific, the Americas, and elsewhere. Mezzadra and Neilson approach the border not only as a research object but also as an epistemic framework. Their use of the border as method enables new perspectives on the crisis and transformations of the nation-state, as well as powerful reassessments of political concepts such as citizenship and sovereignty.

The Doctor's Diet

By: Sandro Demaio

A cookbook based on science and inspired by a love of good food. Like many Australian doctors worried about soaring rates of obesity, diabetes and heart disease, Dr Sandro Demaio, star of the ABC's Ask the Doctor, knows that the single most effective thing we can do to improve our health is to improve our diet. He also knows that many of us are confused by what this means. His first book, The Doctor's Diet, cuts through the noise of conflicting dietary information and presents a simple, affordable and delicious way of eating that is accessible to every Australian. Drawing on his Italian heritage, his medical training and knowledge as an international expert on obesity, he explains that the best diet is one based on unprocessed ingredients, simply and easily prepared. The book features 110 recipes plus clever tips for making sure that preparing and eating good food is the most pleasurable way possible of getting well and staying healthy.

The Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Historical Analysis and Open Questions - Cesena 2004

Cesena, Italy, 4-9 Ocober 2004

By: Claudio Garola,Arcangelo Rossi,Sandro Sozzo

This volume provides a unique overview of recent Italian studies on the foundations of quantum mechanics and related historical, philosophical and epistemological topics. A gathering of scholars from diverse cultural backgrounds, the conference provided a forum for a fascinating exchange of ideas and perspectives on a range of open questions in quantum mechanics. The varied nature of the papers in this volume attests to the achievement of that aim with many contributions providing original solutions to established problems by taking into account recommendations from different disciplines. Contents: If Bertlmann had Three Feet (A Afriat); Macroscopic Interpretability of Quantum Component Systems (R Ascoli); Entanglement State Preparation in Experiments on Quantum Non-Locality (V Berardi & A Garuccio); Mathematics and Epistemology in Planck''s Theoretical Work (1898OCo1915) (P Campogalliani); The Electromagnetic Conception of Nature and the Origins of Quantum Physics (E A Giannetto); An Objective Background for Quantum Theory Relaying on Thermodynamic Concepts (L Lanz & B Vacchini); The Entrance of Quantum Mechanics in Italy: From Garbasso to Fermi (M Leone & N Robotti); Antonio Gramsci''s Reflection on Quantum Mechanics (I Tassani); The Role of Logic and Mathematics in the Heisenberg Formulation of Quantum Mechanics (A Venezia); Space-Time at the Planck Scale: The Quantum Computer View (P A Zizzi); and other papers. Readership: Physicists interested in the foundation of quantum mechanics; historians interested in the history and development of modern physics; philosophers interested in the epistemology and philosophy of modern physics.

Controlling Illegal Drugs

Controlling Illegal Drugs

A Comparative Study

By: Sandro Segre

This study presents and compares the drug policies in use in the United States, Sweden, and Italy to limit the use and abuse of substances such as marijuana, hashish, cocaine, heroin, and amphetamines. It also focuses on attempts to suppress the traffic in these drugs. A primary objective of Segre's work is theoretical: to evaluate and explain, by means of a comparative method applied to the study of individual cases, the respective level of success of these policies, measured according to conventional criteria. The aim of this comparison between Swedish drug policies (a positive case) and U.S. and Italian policies (negative cases) is to evaluate the effect of these policies on drug use. Segre comes to the general conclusion that there is a causal relationship between drug use and drug control. This is deduced from the association between Swedish policies and the limited diffusion of narcotics in Sweden on the one hand; and from the association between U.S. and Italian policies and the wide diffusion of these substances in the United States and in Italy, on the other hand. This study does not aim to give a complete explanation of the high or low use of narcotics. But what Segre does say is that the level of drug consumption could be a consequence of other causes, which are considered here not as independent variables but, on the contrary, as intervening variables. The literature in this field needs to dwell particularly on social and psychological causes. Examples are the influence of parents and peers, attitudes toward the use of drugs or abstention from them, the positive or negative images that persons have of themselves, and the possibility or, rather, the difficulty of establishing significant forms of interpersonal communication. This is a modest, serious contribution to the vexing issue of the causes of drug use in advanced societies.
