Four decades ago, feeling a rumble beneath your feet and seeing the lights flicker may not have been a passing train or mild earthquake, but something more powerful…an atomic detonation a few hundred miles from your home. This is the secret the government kept for years: atomic weapons testing were being conducted across the country, and few people know about it. Atomic bombs were literally being dropped in our backyards - witness actual newsreel footage of an unarmed nuke that was accidentally dropped on a South Carolina town.

Academic Press | 2003-11-26 | ISBN: 0121531570 | 490 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Thanks to advances in genetics and genomics, research on inner ear development has flourished. Better approaches and experimental models have shed light on the function of a variety of vertebrate genes and their related proteins. This latest volume of Current Topics in Developmental Biology delves into this new research to show how the discovery of more genes involved in the development of the inner ear leads to the generation of new models that examine a wealth of issues — from the origins of human deafness to the roles of genes during inner ear induction, development and differentiation. The wide variety of experimental approaches will help readers to understand the broad range of issues related to inner ear morphogenesis and other concepts from complementary areas of investigation. This state-of-the-art overview will be essential reading for researchers, clinicians and students alike.
* Scores of high-quality, full- color figures
* Detailed schemes on the structure and timing of ear development

Melodic Black Metal | Mp3 320 Kbps | 94 MB | Germany
| “ | Their previous album ‘Schlachten Und Legenden’ was already a fine album which displayed the potential of these “Bergische L?wen” pretty good. Now, two years later, Obscurity release, with a minor delay, their new album ‘V?rar’, this sympathical band’s fourth album. Don’t expect happy pagan power metal to clap along, but rough metal which is just as well played east of our national borders, with of course a link to the Scandinavian sound. Drums, bass, guitars and no furthers frills. All that Obscurity add are the guest vocals of Arkadius (Suidakra) and Path Of Golgonda’s Manuel, whom I believe to participate on ‘Battle Metal’. | ” |

Piracy - The East Africa / Somalia Situation
Publisher: Oil Companies International Marine Forum | ASIN: R20090515B | edition 2009 | PDF | 42 pages | 1,16 mb
| “ | Introduction Piracy is a term used to describe acts of armed robbery, hijacking and other malicious acts against ships in international waters. They are carried out with the intent of stealing valuables onboard and/or extorting money from ship owners and/or other third party interests by holding the ship or crew to ransom. The International Maritime Bureau (IMB) defines piracy as “the act of boarding any vessel with an intent to commit theft or any other crime, and with an intent or capacity to use force in furtherance of that act”. Since this definition reflects the popular understanding of the word ‘piracy’, this term will be used throughout this booklet to describe any such act against a ship. Armed attacks on merchant vessels transiting the Gulf of Aden, and other waters near the Horn of Africa, have increased in frequency over the past months. There were 140 approaches and at least 39 vessels actually detained by pirates in 2008 (Source: UKMTO). Such acts have usually been conducted with the use or threat of violence, which can be particularly traumatic for those directly involved, as well as their families |

Togas Tulandi and Roger Gordon Gosden,”Preservation of Fertility “
Informa HealthCare | May 15, 2004 | ISBN: 1842142429 | 300 pages | PDF | 2.7 mb
In September 2004, a woman from Belgium gave birth to a child after receiving an ovarian-tissue transplant. This was a culmination of several efforts to preserve fertility in women who undergo treatment for cancer. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are particularly toxic to eggs and sperm, and to the trauma of the diagnosis of cancer and its subsequent treatment is added the tragedy of subsequent infertility. For young women in whom ovarian damage is likely to result from treatment for cancer, there are various possibilities, including the freezing of eggs, the creation of embryos that can be subsequently frozen, the storage of ovarian tissue, and the transplantation of ovaries. All of these procedures are associated with considerable practical, scientific, ethical, and legal problems that involve a range of medical and health professionals as well as the patient. Tulandi and Gosden take on these issues in Preservation of Fertility, which is largely dedicated to the subject of the protection of male and female fertility in situations in which cancer needs to be treated rapidly.

Research Funding in Neuroscience: A Profile of the McKnight Endowment Fund
Research Funding in Neuroscience: A Profile of the McKnight Endowment Fund
Publisher: Academic Press | ISBN: 0123736455 | edition 2006 | PDF | 192 pages | 8,65 mb
The book is a history of the McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience and an assessment of its effectiveness in advancing neuroscience. The book discusses the Fund’s early and steady commitment to basic science as well as it’s tradition of leveraging relatively modest dollars to make a big difference in careers and the field overall.
The fund exists strictly to give awards and create a community of peers through an annual conference dedicated to research. In near unison, scientists who have received awards say they were able to test a risky idea, get their career off the ground, or make a significant change in their career because of McKnight’s flexible dollars.
The book consists of three parts: (1) origins–including both the funder and the scientists who shaped the program; (2) a review of the science to show how McKnight awardees have advanced the field; and (3) 10 keys to success. We also have an interview with Julius Axelrod (one of the early advisors, done shortly before his death in 2004) and stories of how awardees used their McKnight grants, plus other information.

A Theory of Distributed Objects
A Theory of Distributed Objects
Publisher: Springer | Pages: 300 | June 2005 | ISBN 3540208666 | PDF | 6 MB
Distributed and communicating objects are becoming ubiquitous. In global, Grid and Peer-to-Peer computing environments, extensive use is made of objects interacting through method calls. So far, no general formalism has been proposed for the foundation of such systems. Caromel and Henrio are the first to define a calculus for distributed objects interacting using asynchronous method calls with generalized futures, i.e., wait-by-necessity — a must in large-scale systems, providing both high structuring and low coupling, and thus scalability. The authors provide very generic results on expressiveness and determinism, and the potential of their approach is further demonstrated by its capacity to cope with advanced issues such as mobility, groups, and components. Researchers and graduate students will find here an extensive review of concurrent languages and calculi, with comprehensive figures and summaries. Developers of distributed systems can adopt the many implementation strategies that are presented and analyzed in detail. Preface by Luca Cardelli

Contemporary Cultural Theory: An Introduction
Contemporary Cultural Theory: An Introduction
Publisher: UCL Press | ISBN: 1857281276 | edition 1994 | PDF | 208 pages | 1 mb
This and concise introduction to cultural theory aims to bring a sense of historical and theoretical scale to cultural studies in Britain. As a comprehensive and accessible guide to the often tricky manoeuverings of social and cultural theory in recent years, it should serve as a guide to students studying the many disciplines now informed by cultural theory. “Contemporary Cultural Theory” identifies six alternative paradigms in cultural studies - utilitarianism, culturalism, marxism, structuralism, feminism and postmodernism - and explores the socio-discursive contexts within which each of these have developed. Andrew Milner is the author of “John Milton and the English Revolution”, and co-editor of “Postmodern Conditions” and “Discourse and Difference”. This book is intended for undergraduate courses in cultural studies, sociology, media and communication and literary criticism.

Topics covered in this section include solar and lunar eclipses, tides, seasons, and Earth’s magnetic field. “Earth’s History” - examines the basic principles used by geologists to determine the age of rocks and the use of fossil evidence in determining the sequence of geological events. There is a comprehensive survey of the history of life on Earth and a general description of each of the geological eons. A sequence of pages traces the history of the North American continent through each geological period, showing the prevailing conditions and the kind of life forms that have flourished there. “Earth’s Rocks” - is concerned with the processes that create and modify Earth’s geology. The relative abundance of minerals on our planet; the formation of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks; and the processes of plate tectonics are examined in this section. “Air and Oceans” - is an overview of the shallow but complex layer of gas and water that surrounds our planet and supports all animal and plant life. The types and causes of all significant weather phenomena are covered here, as well as the intimate connections between the oceans and the atmosphere. Heat transfer between air and oceans and the planet-wide systems of circulation driven by solar energy are also explained here. “Erosion and Weathering” - looks at the constant wearing down of the Earth’s rocks by the combined actions of the atmosphere and the oceans. Mechanical and chemical weathering, the formation and movement of soil, and the geological forms produced by the actions of rivers and glaciers are all featured in this section. Wind erosion and the formation and spread of desert landscapes are also covered. “Comparisons” - gives the relative scales of major planetary features, such as oceans, rivers, continents, and mountain ranges.

James Waller - Becoming Evil: How Ordinary People Commit Genocide and Mass Killing
James Waller - Becoming Evil: How Ordinary People Commit Genocide and Mass Killing
Oxford University Press | 2002 | ISBN: 0195148681 | Pages: 336 | PDF | 8.66 MB
Political or social groups wanting to commit mass murder on the basis of racial, ethnic or religious differences are never hindered by a lack of willing executioners. In Becoming Evil, social psychologist James Waller uncovers the internal and external factors that can lead ordinary people to commit extraordinary acts of evil.
Waller debunks the common explanations for genocide- group think, psychopathology, unique cultures- and offers a more sophisticated and comprehensive psychological view of how anyone can potentially participate in heinous crimes against humanity. He outlines the evolutionary forces that shape human nature, the individual dispositions that are more likely to engage in acts of evil, and the context of cruelty in which these extraordinary acts can emerge. Illustrative eyewitness accounts are presented at the end of each chapter. An important new look at how evil develops, Becoming Evil will help us understand such tragedies as the Holocaust and recent terrorist events. Waller argues that by becoming more aware of the things that lead to extraordinary evil, we will be less likely to be surprised by it and less likely to be unwitting accomplices through our passivity.
From the Turks’ massacre of Armenians in 1915 through the Serbians’ slaughter of Bosnian and Albanian Muslims during the 1990s, the 20th century was an era of mass killing. Social psychologist Waller (Face to Face: The Changing State of Racism Across America) develops a four-layered theory of how everyday citizens became involved. First considering factors in evolutionary psychology such as humans’ instinctive xenophobia and desire for social dominance Waller examines psychosocial influences on the killers, from people’s willingness to obey authority even when causing others physical pain (the famous Milgram experiments of the early 1960s play a role here) to elements of rational self-interest (subscribing to, or at least not dissenting from, the norms of a military or other group). Waller’s third element focuses on how some groups can create a “culture of cruelty,” in which initially reluctant individuals ultimately commit heinous acts. In his last and most interesting section, Waller shows how a perpetrator learns to see his victim as a less-than-human “other,” so that, in some cases, the victim is even blamed for his or her death. There is no new research here, and Waller’s theory is quite complex. But he clearly and effectively synthesizes a wide range of studies to develop an original and persuasive model of the processes by which people can become evil.
