Book Description
This discussion addresses effective learning practices for chemistry, general chemistry in particular. The approaches are appropriate for any physical science. The strategy is to master the subject as a means to achieving the short term goal of good grades, but more importantly, the long goals of applying the concepts and techniques in a variety of practical contexts well beyond the final examination. We discuss common approaches that do not work and lead to frustration and then suggest strategies that are both effective and satisfying.

Shortest Path Solvers. From Software to Wetware
Author: Andrew Adamatzky
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319775103
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 442
Book Description
This book offers advanced parallel and distributed algorithms and experimental laboratory prototypes of unconventional shortest path solvers. In addition, it presents novel and unique algorithms of solving shortest problems in massively parallel cellular automaton machines. The shortest path problem is a fundamental and classical problem in graph theory and computer science and is frequently applied in the contexts of transport and logistics, telecommunication networks, virtual reality and gaming, geometry, and social networks analysis. Software implementations include distance-vector algorithms for distributed path computation in dynamics networks, parallel solutions of the constrained shortest path problem, and application of the shortest path solutions in gathering robotic swarms. Massively parallel algorithms utilise cellular automata, where a shortest path is computed either via matrix multiplication in automaton arrays, or via the representation of data graphs in automaton lattices and using the propagation of wave-like patterns. Unconventional shortest path solvers are presented in computer models of foraging behaviour and protoplasmic network optimisation by the slime mould Physarum polycephalum and fluidic devices, while experimental laboratory prototypes of path solvers using chemical media, flows and droplets, and electrical current are also highlighted. The book will be a pleasure to explore for readers from all walks of life, from undergraduate students to university professors, from mathematicians, computers scientists and engineers to chemists and biologists.

Accessing Biodiversity and Sharing the Benefits
Author: Santiago Carrizosa
Publisher: IUCN
ISBN: 2831708168
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
The book aims to address the lack of information on the experiences of others by providing a comparative analysis of national access and benefit-sharing laws and policies in the 41 Pacific Rim countries that signed the CBD. It provides key insights on the main characteristics of selected access and benefit-sharing (ABS) policies and laws, their development, and implementation process. It contains a detailed comparative analysis of existing laws and policies. It presents four case studies of countries with regulations in place and contrasts them with four case studies of countries that are struggling to develop their regulations. It ends by discussing options of an international regime on ABS and a summary analysis of the main lessons and recommendations from the study.
