Pop Sociobiology Reborn: The Evolutionary Psychology of Sex and Violence (2002)
Authors: Kitcher Philip 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Here’s a recipe for winning fame and fortune as an architect of the new-and improved human sciences. First, make a bundle of claims to the effect that certain features are universal among human beings, or among human males, or among human females. Next, couple each claim with a story of how the pertinent features were advantageous for primitive hominids, or males, or females, as they faced what ever challenges you take to have been prevalent in some lightly sketched savannah environment. (Don’t worry that your knowledge of past environments is rather thin-Be creative!) Finally, announce that each feature in the bundle has been shaped by natural selection, and so corresponds to something very deep in human nature (male human nature, female human nature), something that may be over lain with a veneer of culture but that molds our behavior and the forms of our societies. Accompany everything with hymns to the genius of Darwin, broadsides against “blank slate” views of the human mind, and vigorous denunciations of the lack of rigor and clarity that has hitherto reigned in the human sciences.
Narrative and Moral Life
Authors: Meyers Diana Tietjens 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The obvious answer to the first question is that people tell lots of stories— stories about themselves and their own experiences; about people they know and their experiences; about people, past and present, whose lives they know of secondhand; and about people whom they imagine. Schematically, intentional agency involves a purpose moving someone to act in order to bring about an outcome.
Win-Win Ecology
Authors: Rosenzweig Michael L 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
As humanity presses down inexorably on the natural world, people debate the extent to which we can save the Earth’s millions of different species without sacrificing human economic welfare. But is this argument wise? Must the human and natural worlds be adversaries? In this book, ecologist Michael Rosenzweig finds that ecological science actually rejects such polarization. Instead it suggests that, to be successful, conservation must discover how we can blend a rich natural world into the world of economic activity. This revolutionary, common ground between development and conservation is called reconciliation ecology: creating and maintaining species-friendly habitats in the very places where people live, work, or play. The book offers many inspiring examples of the good results already achieved. The Nature Conservancy, for instance, has a cooperative agreement with the Department of Defense, with more than 200 conservation projects taking place on more than 170 bases in 41 states. In places such as Elgin Air Force Base, the human uses-testing munitions, profitable timbering and recreation--continue, but populations of several threatened species on the base, such as the long-leaf pine and the red-cockaded woodpecker, have been greatly improved. The Safe Harbor strategy of the Fish & Wildlife Service encourages private landowners to improve their property for endangered species, thus overcoming the unintended negative aspects of the Endangered Species Act. And Golden Gate Park, which began as a system of sand dunes, has become, through human effort, a world of ponds and shrubs, waterfowl and trees. Rosenzweig shows that reconciliation ecology is the missing tool of conservation, the practical, scientifically based approach that, when added to the rest, will solve the problem of preserving Earth’s species.
Happy Accidents

Abstract
About 2,100 years ago, Rabbi Simon ben Shetah was in the market for an ass. After some bargaining with its Arab owner-and probably some refreshment-he brought his new beast home, complete with its harness. When he arrived, his students helped him with it. Suddenly, they shouted, “Rabbi,God’s blessing enriches.” Suspended around the animal’s neck, they had discovered a precious gem.
The Clinical Practice Of Critical Care Neurology
Authors: Wijdicks Eelco F M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This book is an invaluable review of neurologic critical care in the intensive care unit. The emphasis is on management in day-to-day practice. Part I is devoted to basic management of critically ill patients with acute neurologic diseases. Part II covers the technology and procedures used in the intensive care unit. Part III discusses the management of specific disorders in critical care neurology. Part IV deals with the management of postoperative neurosurgical complications. Part V covers the management of systemic complications. The final section, Part VI, discusses decisions at the end of life and other responsibilities. An appendix is devoted to the calculation of important variables and provides reference tables for daily practice. For quick reference in the intensive care unit the most useful tables and figures have been extracted by the author and reprinted in an accompanying pocket-sized booklet. For this thoroughly revised second edition, there are five new chapters on the organization of the intensive care unit and code of conduct of the neurointensivist, acute spinal disorders, the management of common postoperative neurosurgical complications (two chapters), ethics and legal problems, and withdrawal of life support. Also new to this edition are algorithms on outcome prediction in the specific disorders. This scholarly and yet accessible and practical book spans the entire field of acute neurology but remains cohesive as it is single-authored. Like the first edition, the second will be widely used by neurologists, specialists in neurologic intensive care, neurologists training in neurologic critical care and stroke fellowships, anesthesiologists, neurosurgeons, critical care specialists of all types, emergency physicians, residents in neurology and neurosurgery, and neuroscience nurses.
Green Solvents in Green Chemistry
Authors: Nelson William M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The criteria for what determines a green solvent will depend upon the use and ultimate fate of the solvent during the chemical process. Likewise, the determination of what constitutes appropriate solvent usage in green chemistry might include any of the following actions. Redesign of the exact chemical nature of the solvent via synthesis; Identification of equally useful but less toxic substitutes of another chemical class for use instead of a “traditional” solvent; or Reduction/elimination of the use of solvents in particular chemical processes. The discussion of green solvents will include chemistry, ecology, and philosophy. The choice of solvents will include new criteria in addition to the traditional considerations of synthesis yield (if we are dealing with reactions), perfect product recovery (separations), or commercial usefulness. What, then, constitutes an appropriate solvent for green chemistry? Fundamentally, it must be a solvent, which allows completion of the task, but in an environmentally conscious manner. Environmental toxicity is a key factor affecting choice of solvents. These chemicals should be minimally toxic to human health and the environment, and should not contribute to pollution (DeVito, 1996a).
Sense, Reference, and Philosophy
Authors: Katz Jerrold J 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Sense, Reference, and Philosophy develops the far-reaching consequences for philosophy of adopting non-Fregean intensionalism, showing that long-standing problems in the philosophy of language, and indeed other areas, that appeared intractable can now be solved. Katz proceeds to examine some of those problems in this new light, including the problem of names, natural kind terms, the Liar Paradox, the distinction between logical and extra-logical vocabulary, and the Raven paradox. In each case, a non-Fregean intentionalism provides a philosophically more satisfying solution.
Stress Testing Protocol
Authors: Ellestad Myrvin H 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Many of the protocols described in the previous edition of this book are of historical interest only and have been deleted. These include Kaltenbach’s Climbing Step Test; the hypoxemia test; the Harvard Step Test; the catecholamine, ergonovine, and histamine tests; and the test of left-ventricular wall function using the kymocardiograph.
The protocol for stress testing should be structured to include the following:
1. Continuous ECG monitoring.
2. Hard copy ECG recording when desired, preferably several simultaneous leads before, during, and after exercise and at 1-minute intervals during exercise. A minimal recording of muscle potential is essential to an artefact free recording with averaged beats at 1-minute intervals.
3. A type of activity that can be performed by the sedentary, poorly developed, and underconditioned subject as well as by the trained athlete.
ECG Patterns and Their Significance
Authors: Ellestad Myrvin H 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It is truly remarkable that although electrocardiographic (ECG) changes were first recognized as markers for ischemia about 1918, here more than 80 years later we are still discovering that there is more to learn in this area. In the last few years numerous papers point out new ECG markers that have utility and I predict this trend will continue into the future. This chapter has been revised to present the more commonly used (conventional) electrocardiogram exchanges separately from the less commonly recognized changes (unconventional).
Although computers are being used more to evaluate the ECG changes associated with exercise, it is still essential to carefully scrutinize the ECG visually, since computer measures are far from error-free. Also, technical writers of computer programs are always years behind the latest knowledge base. This chapter presents many ways of evaluating the exercise ECG that have not been incorporated into a computer program and may never be. Careful inspection of tracings from appropriate lead systems, using properly applied electrodes and recording systems with a good frequency response, can usually result in accurate evaluation of changes now known to be clinically significant. If you want to be an expert in the evaluation of exercise tests, you will find many concepts mentioned here that will set you apart from those who examine only the ST segment.
Predictive Implications
Authors: Ellestad Myrvin H 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Prediction of disease is one of the primary functions of stress testing. We would like to be able to predict in each patient:
1. The anatomical condition of the coronary arteries
2. The functional status of the heart
3. The ultimate outcome of the patient as influenced by the above two parameters
It is commonly but erroneously assumed that items 2 and 3 are easy to determine when we know item 1. So many factors influence the outcome of any given patient with clinically significant coronary artery disease (CAD) that knowing the anatomical condition of the coronary arteries as assessed by the angiogram may give very little information about items 2 and 3, especially if we are only examining the coronary angiogram. We should not be too surprised when a patient with a normal maximum exercise test suddenly has an infarction or ventricular fibrillation a few weeks later. Although this occurs infrequently, the dynamic nature of coronary atheroma certainly can result in sudden reductions in perfusion with all the attendant dramatic sequelae. In this chapter, I present some of the concepts necessary to understand how information derived from stress testing can be used to predict the patient’s outcome.
Radionuclide Techniques in Stress Testing
Authors: Ellestad Myrvin H 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Many factors influence selection of an appropriate stress test for a particular patient. These include the clinical question to be answered, the intended use of the data in decision-making, the patient’s condition and institutional circumstances of expertise and resource availability. This chapter deals with the indications of diagnostic confirmation, assessment of severity, prognosis, risk stratification as well as selection and assessment of therapy in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease, unstable angina and acute myocardial infarction. Radionuclide cardiac stress testing has grown rapidly over the past two to three decades, so that all areas cannot be encompassed. For more detailed overviews, the reader is referred to several available monographs. As currently widely performed, stress single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) gated myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) yields data not only with regard to relative myocardial perfusion for assessment of coronary reserve, but also analyzes wall motion, wall thickening and reliably provides measurement of post stress and resting ejection fractions. The images are acquired at various times after the stress during which the tracer has been injected, but the data reflect perfusion under the stress conditions during which the injection was made. It has largely replaced both stress radionuclide angiography and stress gated blood pool studies. These techniques are more cumbersome to adapt to the exercising patient and degraded by the motion accompanying the exercise state during which the data must be acquired in these techniques.
Stable or Robust? What’s the Difference?
Authors: Jen Erica 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Exploring the difference between “stable” and “robust” touches on essentially every aspect of what we instinctively find interesting about robustness in natural, engineering, and social systems. It is argued here that robustness is a measure of feature persistence in systems that compels us to focus on perturbations, and often assemblages of perturbations, qualitatively different in nature from those addressed by stability theory. Moreover, to address feature persistence under these sorts of perturbations, we are naturally led to study issues including: the coupling of dynamics with organizational architecture, implicit assumptions of the environment, the role of a system’s evolutionary history in determining its current state and thereby its future state, the sense in which robustness characterizes the fitness of the set of “strategic options” open to the system, the ability of the system to switch among multiple functionalities, and the incorporation of mechanisms for learning, problem solving, and creativity.
Computation in the Wild
Authors: Forrest Stephanie , Balthrop Justin , Glickman Matthew , Ackley David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The explosive growth of the Internet has created new opportunities and risks by increasing the number of contacts between separately administered computing resources. Widespread networking and mobility have blurred many traditional computer system distinctions, including those between operating system and application, network and computer, user and administrator, and program and data. An increasing number of executable codes, including applets, agents, viruses, email attachments, and downloadable software, are escaping the confines of their original systems and spreading through communications networks. These programs coexist and coevolve with us in our world, not always to good effect. Our computers are routinely disabled by network-borne infections, our browsers crash due to unforeseen interactions between an applet and a language implementation, and applications are broken by operating system upgrades. We refer to this situation as computation in the wild, by which we mean to convey the fact that software is developed, distributed, stored, and executed in rich and dynamic environments populated by other programs and computers, which collectively form a software ecosystem. The thesis of this chapter is that networked computer systems can be better understood, controlled, and developed when viewed from the perspective of living systems.
Fertilization, Implantation, and Endocrinology of Pregnancy
Authors: Carr Bruce R , Rehman Khurram S 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The complex and coordinated set of events leading to sperm and egg maturation and transport in the female genital tract that culminates in fertilization is one of the most remarkable phenomena in nature. This set of events is followed by the equally important unique processes of implantation, fetal maturation, and parturition. The hormonal changes that regulate these events are dependent on the close interaction of the fetal-placental-maternal unit.
Psychological Adjustment and Family Relationships in Children and Adolescents with Spina Bifida
Authors: Greenley Rachel Neff , Holmbeck Grayson N , zukerman Jill , Buck Colleen F 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In recent years, researchers and clinicians have been interested in identifying factors associated with psychosocial adjustment among children and adolescents with spina bifida. Spina bifida is a heterogeneous condition characterized by an incomplete development of the spinal column. Subtypes of spina bifida include spina bifida occulta, identified by an abnormal spinal opening without spinal cord or nerve damage, and spina bifida cystica, characterized by the presence of a protruding fluid-filled sac that encloses the meninges (meningocele) or the meninges and spinal column (myelomeningocele). Finally, lipomeningocele is a subtype of spina bifida characterized by the presence of a fatty mass that herniates through the spinal column and attaches to the spinal cord, tethering the cord and often the associated nerve roots (Fletcher et al., 2004).
Banksia goodiiin Western Australia: Interacting Effects of Fire, Reproduction, and Plant Growth on Viability
Authors: Drechsler Martin 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This study demonstrates the use of RAMAS Metapop to simulate the very slow dynamics of Banksia goodii, a species of shrub with almost negligibly small vital rates, which strongly depend on disturbance, namely fire. A special feature of the model is the interaction of several processes: the random occurrence of fires, the development of fecundity after a fire, the aging of plants, and the growth of the population. All these processes can be considered explicitly in the software. B. gooddii is a rare rhizomatous shrub that is endemic to southwestern Australia (Lamont and Markey 1995). Despite frequent fires and summer drought, adult mortality is very low and the main mortality factor is the loss of adults through land clearing (Witkowski and Lamont 1997, Lamont et al. 1993). Reproduction in the species is also very low. There is a significant Allee effect (Allee 1949), such that plants in populations below eight individuals do not produce any seeds at all. Seeds are only produced by adults (plants above 20 years age) and only between 3 and 30 years after a fire. Seeds die after 10 years (Witkowski and Lamont 1997). They are stored on the canopies of the adults and are released only after a fire. Only few of the seeds germinate, and the mortality of seedlings and young plants, especially in a fire, is very high.
Erodium paularense in Spain: Relevance of Microhabitats in Population Dynamics
Authors: Albert Mariía J , Draper David , Iriondo José M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Erodium paularense Fern. Gonz. and Izco (Geraniaceae) is a woody rosulate chamaephyte that is endemic to central Spain. It is confined to a single locality in the Lozoya Valley (Madrid), where there are three small populations that grow on isolated dolomitic outcrops in a widely extended siliceous landscape. This species occupies two different microhabitats: the crevices and cavities of rocks, and the shallow soils (lithosols) of the nearby grassy communities (González-Benito et al. 1995, Albert et al. 2001a). New populations recently discovered in the province of Guadalajara (200 km from the Lozoya Valley), growing on andesite outcrops, have been ascribed to this species, although comparative genetic studies show great differences between the populations at the two locations (Martín et al. 1999). This species has been classified as endangered (EN) (VV.AA. [Various Authors] 2000) according to the World Conservation Union (IUCN) criteria. In addition to its narrow distribution and the small size of the populations, plants have very low reproductive success (González-Benito et al. 1995, Albert et al. 2001b). Fruit set is about 16%, and mean number of viable seeds per fruit is only 0.31 (out of five possible seeds per fruit). Adult plants produce, on average, four seeds per plant in one reproductive season (Albert et al. 2001b), and there is not a permanent soil seed bank. Available data also show evidence of seed predation by ants and low seedling recruitment (M. J. Albert, J. M. Iriondo, and A. Escudero, unpublished data). Furthermore, populations are also subject to human impact, such as cattle herbivory (Albert et al., in press) and the effects of recreational activities and plant collection.
Puritan Tiger Beetle (Cicindela puritana)on the Connecticut River: Habitat Management and Translocation Alternatives
Authors: Omland Kristian Shawn 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Puritan tiger beetles (Cicindela puritana) dwell on sandy beaches along large bodies of slow-moving water. As adults, they are fast and furious diurnal hunters of other arthropods, which makes them exciting insects to watch and popular (as are all tiger beetles) among entomologists; as larvae, they are treacherous sit-and-wait predators, and they also prey on other arthropods (Knisley and Schultz 1997, Leonard and Bell 1999). The species is endemic to the Connecticut River and Chesapeake Bay of eastern North America (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1993); furthermore, molecular research has shown that populations in those two areas are diagnosably distinct, and therefore each is an evolutionarily significant unit in its own right (Vogler et al. 1993). The number of populations of Puritan tiger beetles on the Connecticut River declined precipitously from no fewer than 12 around the turn of the twentieth century to exactly 2 by the late 1980s (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1993). As a result, the species was listed as threatened by the U. S. federal government (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1990).
