Until the first scientist sets foot on Henders—and the ultimate test of survival begins. For when they reach the island’s shores, the scientists are utterly unprepared for what they find—creatures unlike any ever recorded in natural history.

Book Synopsis Treatise on Zoology - Anatomy, Taxonomy, Biology. The Crustacea, Volume 4 Part B by : J.C. von Vaupel Klein
Download or read book Treatise on Zoology - Anatomy, Taxonomy, Biology. The Crustacea, Volume 4 Part B written by J.C. von Vaupel Klein and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This part B of the fourth volume of The Crustacea contains chapters on: ● Crustaceans in the Biosphere ● Crustaceans and Mankind ● Crustaceans in Art ● Orders Lophogastrida, Stygiomysida, and Mysida [collectively known as Mysidacea] As evident from the number 4B tagged to this volume, vol. 4 as originally planned had to be split into two fascicles, 4A and 4B, simply because of the numbers of pages covered by the various contributions meant for volume 4. The chapters in this book grew out of those in the French edition volumes 7(II) and 7(III)(A). Overall, this constitutes the seventh tome published in this English series, viz., preceded by volumes 1 (2004), 2 (2006), 9A (2010), 9B (2012), 3 (2012), and 4A (2013). Readers/users should note that from vol. 4A onward we have had to abandon publishing the chapters in the serial sequence as originally envisaged by the late Prof. J. Forest, because the various contributions, i.e., both the updates and the entirely new chapters, have become available in a more or less random order.
Book Synopsis The Peacock Mantis Shrimp Do Your Kids Know This? by : Tanya Turner
Download or read book The Peacock Mantis Shrimp Do Your Kids Know This? written by Tanya Turner and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-03 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet the Peacock Mantis Shrimp - it's also known as the Harlequin Mantis Shrimp, Painted Mantis Shrimp, and Clown Mantis Shrimp. While it goes by a lot of names, the Peacock Mantis Shrimp is its most popular name because it can be likened to a colorful peacock (have you seen one of those?). Of course, "harlequin," "painted," and "clown" also gives you an idea as to how colorful this type of shrimp is. It is more colorful than the regular shrimps that can be eaten. While they do look somewhat like the shrimps that are served in restaurants, they also look like lobsters. They don't have claws like lobsters - but they have a pair of clubs called smashers, and their smashers make them the boxers of the sea. While the Peacock Mantis Shrimp's "smasher" can be compared to a boxing glove, it's much tougher than that. In fact, not only can it hit objects in a very powerful way, it is also resistant to breakage. Even when the shrimp's smashers get cracked, they still won't break easily. Having a really strong smasher is like having a really large hammer for breaking things. This is also one of the reasons why this type of shrimp is known to be capable of breaking glass tanks when kept as pets. Another interesting part of the Peacock Mantis Shrimp is its eyes. Their eyes look like two separate attachments on their heads - and they can move (and look) in different directions as well. Excited to learn more about the Peacock Mantis Shrimp? Have a copy of this book and learn more fascinating trivia about this amazing animal.

Download or read book Bioluminescence written by Marc Zimmer and published by Twenty-First Century Books ™. This book was released on 2015-08-01 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do giant squids, mantis shrimp, and fireflies have in common? These animals, along with a wide range of creatures, are able to give off light; this is called bioluminescence. Different species use different chemistries to bioluminesce, and they produce their light for a variety of reasons, including communication, hunting, and self-defense. Bioluminescence is a unique and fascinating adaptation found in the animal kingdom. Surprisingly, about half of all known phyla (a classification for animals that share the same body type) contain some bioluminescent species. Scientists don't yet understand all facets of bioluminescence, but they have managed to harness the glow and use it in a myriad of ways. One of the most important applications involves using bioluminescence as a microscope in medical studies. For example, laboratory scientists can create fluorescent malaria parasites to track the path by which the disease is spread from a mosquito to the animal it bites. Bioluminescent proteins are also helping researchers learn more about cancer, HIV and other viruses, and complex neurological processes. In fact, bioluminescent proteins are so useful to twenty-first-century medicine that two groups of scientists, one in 2008 and the other in 2014, were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work with these proteins and related technologies. Even artists and fashion designers use bioluminescence in their work to create glowing, light-sensitive paintings and clothing lines. Author Marc Zimmer, a world-renowned specialist in fluorescent proteins, takes readers on a glowing journey into the frontiers of bioluminescence.

Book Synopsis A Mathematical Introduction to Robotic Manipulation by : Richard M. Murray
Download or read book A Mathematical Introduction to Robotic Manipulation written by Richard M. Murray and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Mathematical Introduction to Robotic Manipulation presents a mathematical formulation of the kinematics, dynamics, and control of robot manipulators. It uses an elegant set of mathematical tools that emphasizes the geometry of robot motion and allows a large class of robotic manipulation problems to be analyzed within a unified framework. The foundation of the book is a derivation of robot kinematics using the product of the exponentials formula. The authors explore the kinematics of open-chain manipulators and multifingered robot hands, present an analysis of the dynamics and control of robot systems, discuss the specification and control of internal forces and internal motions, and address the implications of the nonholonomic nature of rolling contact are addressed, as well. The wealth of information, numerous examples, and exercises make A Mathematical Introduction to Robotic Manipulation valuable as both a reference for robotics researchers and a text for students in advanced robotics courses.
