Reproductive Biology of Teleost Fishes is the first integrated
review of the reproductive biology of the bony fishes, which are
the most species-rich and diversified group of vertebrates.
Teleosts display remarkable variation in their modes of
reproduction, and this volume is intended to provide a framework
for understanding the remarkable reproductive diversity of this
group. It describes their reproductive biology using, wherever
possible, phylogenetic analyses and life-history theory as a means
to interpret the information. The book addresses the genetic,
physiological, behavioural, ecological, evolutionary and applied
aspects of teleost reproduction in a comparative framework that
emphasises the adaptive basis of reproductive diversity.
Reproductive Biology of Teleost Fishes provides a comprehensive
synthesis of fish reproduction that will be of great interest to
life scientists, particularly ecologists, evolutionary biologists,
physiologists and advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and
research workers requiring a comprehensive overview of fish
reproduction. The book is suitable for courses in fish biology and
ecology, reproductive physiology and reproductive genetics. It also
addresses applied questions and will be of value for courses on
fisheries science and aquaculture. Libraries in all universities
and research establishments where biological sciences, fisheries
science and aquaculture are studied and taught should have several
copies of this important book on their shelves.
This book demonstrates how to model the entire target acquisition
process using either visible or infrared imaging systems. Beginning
with an overview on electro-optical system design, the text
introduces the complexity of various design considerations. A
discussion of the differing types of visible and infrared sensors
outlines basic wavelength issues and provides definitions of
baseline hardware solutions.
The Second Edition of the Exam Pro on Partnership Taxation extends
the approach of the original as a partnership tax study guide with
questions and answers. Completely revised and updated, it includes
lectures and study questions on the deduction for qualified
business income under section 199A, the new regulations on
allocating partnership recourse debt, and the choice of entity for
conducting business and investment activities. New sample exams at
the basic, intermediate and advanced levels give you an even better
shot to ace your partnership tax exam. The book is designed to help
JD and LLM students from the first day of class. It begins with
over 50 short lectures on topics in partnership tax ranging from
basic to advanced, illustrated by over 280 study questions, each
with a complete explanation of the right (and wrong) answers.
Several of the lectures focus on the basic accounting concepts that
are essential to understanding partnership tax, to give students
with no prior accounting background the tools they need to succeed
in this subject. The book includes twelve sample exams (a total of
120 more questions) that, like the lectures, increase in difficulty
from basic to advanced, labeled so that students can pick the exams
that are right for them and the course they are taking. Full
answers to each of the exam questions are provided, with
cross-references to the lectures and the study questions. Robert R.
Wootton, Professor Emeritus of Practice of Law, and Sarah B.
Lawsky, Professor of Law, teach partnership tax at Northwestern
Pritzker School of Law.
This concise volume provides essential advice and guidelines for all those medical personnel involved in the administration of radiation for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Legislation has been introduced in Europe and the UK to reduce patient radiation doses. In the UK, the Ionising Radiation (Protection of Patients Undergoing Medical Examination or Treatment) Regulations, known colloquially as the POPUMET Regulations, require medical personnel to have received essential training in radiation protection. This volume covers the background material required by those taking approved training courses and summarizes the core of knowledge that forms the basis of the POPUMET regulations.
