Essence of Memory


Book Description

This selection of reviews gives an up-to-date picture of memory research. Great progress has been made in identifying the memory trace at the molecular and cellular level and individual reviews address the major mechanisms by which changes in synaptic strength can persist. Exciting research at the systems level is also reviewed including the growing importance of changes in inhibitory interneurons and how they play a role in memory formation. Finally, reviews present cognitive and neurobiological models of human memory that explain, characterize and organize the act of memory within a coherent framework. - Provides an unique overview that covers all perspectives and methodological approaches to memory - Broad coverage of memory research from molecular to human studies in one source - Up-to-date reviews give the latest important ideas on memory formation







Daily Progress Journal


Book Description

The Daily Progress Journal is a 90-day productivity journal, which incorporates several practices designed to facilitate behavior change, character development, and personal fulfillment. The journal is designed to be used every day - 90 entries in 90 days - for its maximum effectiveness, as consistency and compounded daily effort are essential in developing new habits/thought patterns and eliminating destructive ones. '90 in 90' is a notorious term within the recovering community, as implementing anything new - exercise, diet, meditation, attending recovery meetings - takes concerted and consistent effort. As a result of completing the '90 in 90' challenge, individuals had a solid foundation that would serve as a firm bedrock for their behavior change journey. This journal was created by recovering individual, Jamie Langlois, who has persistently sought meaning in life after addiction. The practices included in this book reflect her current daily routine, which has been instrumental in maintaining her freedom from alcohol, drugs and other destructive behavior patterns.




Hypersonic Aerothermodynamics


Book Description

A modern treatment of hypersonic aerothermodynamics for students, engineers, scientists, and program managers involved in the study and application of hypersonic flight. It assumes an understanding of the basic principles of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, compressible flow, and heat transfer. Ten chapters address: general characterization of hypersonic flows; basic equations of motion; defining the aerothermodynamic environment; experimental measurements of hypersonic flows; stagnation-region flowfield; the pressure distribution; the boundary layer and convective heat transfer; aerodynamic forces and moments; viscous interactions; and aerothermodynamics and design considerations. Includes sample exercises and homework problems. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
