As the capability and utility of robots has increased dramatically
with new technology, robotic systems can perform tasks that are
physically dangerous for humans, repetitive in nature, or require
increased accuracy, precision, and sterile conditions to radically
minimize human error. The Robotics and Automation Handbook
addresses the major aspects of designing, fabricating, and enabling
robotic systems and their various applications. It presents kinetic
and dynamic methods for analyzing robotic systems, considering
factors such as force and torque. From these analyses, the book
develops several controls approaches, including servo actuation,
hybrid control, and trajectory planning. Design aspects include
determining specifications for a robot, determining its
configuration, and utilizing sensors and actuators. The featured
applications focus on how the specific difficulties are overcome in
the development of the robotic system. With the ability to increase
human safety and precision in applications ranging from handling
hazardous materials and exploring extreme environments to
manufacturing and medicine, the uses for robots are growing
steadily. The Robotics and Automation Handbook provides a solid
foundation for engineers and scientists interested in designing,
fabricating, or utilizing robotic systems.
This volume presents a series of protocols and methods, some of
which are not widely used by researchers/practitioners, and will
aid in the execution of different laboratory techniques. Forensic
DNA Typing Protocols, Second Edition is arranged into a series of
related chapters. Chapter 1-3 examines two different aspects of RNA
analysis for body fluid identification. Chapters 4-7 focuses on the
storage of biological materials and the extraction of DNA from hard
tissues. Chapters 8-10 present methods for monitoring the quality
of DNA extracts, and steps to aid in the purification of DNA.
Chapters 11-16 talk about methods on non-standard markers, such as
INDELs, Y chromosome STRs, and mitochondrial DNA. Detailed
procedures and data analysis for phenotypes and ancestry are
explored in Chapter 17-19. The last chapter (20) looks at the
application of DNA typing to the identification of non-human
material to species level. Written in the highly successful Methods
in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions
to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and
reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols,
and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Practical
and thorough, Forensic DNA Typing Protocols, Second Edition, is a
valuable resource for forensic specialists, researchers, and anyone
interested in the field of forensic science.

Sabin Americana is rich in original accounts of discovery and
exploration, pioneering and westward expansion, the U.S. Civil War
and other military actions, Native Americans, slavery and
abolition, religious history and more.Sabin Americana offers an
up-close perspective on life in the western hemisphere,
encompassing the arrival of the Europeans on the shores of North
America in the late 15th century to the first decades of the 20th
century. Covering a span of over 400 years in North, Central and
South America as well as the Caribbean, this collection highlights
the society, politics, religious beliefs, culture, contemporary
opinions and momentous events of the time. It provides access to
documents from an assortment of genres, sermons, political tracts,
newspapers, books, pamphlets, maps, legislation, literature and
more.Now for the first time, these high-quality digital scans of
original works are available via print-on-demand, making them
readily accessible to libraries, students, independent scholars,
and readers of all ages.++++The below data was compiled from

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the
1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable,
high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
This volume presents a series of protocols and methods, some of
which are not widely used by researchers/practitioners, and will
aid in the execution of different laboratory techniques. Forensic
DNA Typing Protocols, Second Edition is arranged into a series of

This book provides research assistance for 99 current and
provocative issues students can use to write a brief argumentative
paper. In 2030, it is projected that 65 percent of the population
will be over 65. The U.S. Government Census Bureau reveals that
over an adult's working life, college graduates typically earn
close to $1 million more than high school graduates. About 43
percent of American families spend more than they earn each year.
These three factoids represent a tiny fraction of the potential
research subjects contained in 99 Jumpstarts to Research: Topic
Guides for Finding Information on Current Issues, Second Edition, a
completely revised follow-up to the original edition. Every
jumpstart—each focused upon a current, timely issue—contains
ideas for narrowing the topic, research keywords, suggested best
books and databases, and Internet sites. This book supports both
faculty and students in identifying compelling topics, effectively
evaluating and selecting resources in today's information-overload
world, and deriving enjoyment from the research and writing
process.
Building on the success and maintaining the 99 Jumpstarts format of
the two previous books, 99 Jumpstarts for Kids' Social Studies
Reports is divided into broad topical sections. Each topic is
arranged in alphabetical order under its section. Topics are all
new to this title and include the Ancient World, Historic World
Events, State and Local History, US History, Government and
Citizenship, Sociology, Culture and Economics. The book includes
the following sections in each Jumpstart: A cited quote about the
topic, Related Jumpstarts, New Words, You are There, Topics to
Consider, Books, Internet, For the Teacher, and a relevant
activity. Each Jumpstart provides a helpful pathfinder that enables
students to efficiently access information and learn new
information literacy skills as they research topics of personal
interest or gather information for school reports. Grades 3-8.
This third entry in the Jumpstarts series focuses on Science topics
for upper elementary and middle school students. Maintaining the 99
Jumpstarts format of the two previous books, 99 Jumpstarts for Kids
Science Research is divided into ten broad topical sections. Each
topic is arranged in alphabetical order under its section. Topics
include Body Parts, Energy, Animals, Heavens, Weather, Matter,
Medicine, Technology, Environment, and Geology. This pathfinder
approach aides students in the research process, helping them
define important terms, offer beginning questions to help narrow
their topic, furnish source ideas and some fun activities to
explore each topic. Grades 4-8.

Jonathan Swift and Philosophy is the first book to analyse and
interpret Swift's writing from a philosophical angle. By placing
key texts of Swift in their philosophical and cultural contexts and
providing background to their history of ideas, it demonstrates how
well informed Swift's criticism of the politics, philosophy, and
science of his age actually was. Moreover, it also sets straight
preconceptions about Swift as ignorant about the scientific
developments of his time. The authors offer insights into, and
interpretations of, Swift's political philosophy, ethics, and his
philosophy of science and demonstrate how versatile a writer and
thinker Swift actually was. This book will be of interest to
scholars of philosophy, history of ideas, and 18th century
literature and culture.
