Tidal Carbon Cycling

Sinopse

Tidal Carbon Cycling explores the significant, yet often overlooked, role of tides in the ocean's carbon cycle, a critical component of global climate regulation. It argues that tidal mixing enhances the vertical transport of nutrients and carbon, fueling phytoplankton growth. This process acts as a biological pump, drawing atmospheric carbon dioxide into the ocean, with some of it being sequestered in the deep sea for long periods. Did you know that the efficiency of this biological pump is directly influenced by the strength and location of tidal mixing?

The book synthesizes observational data, numerical modeling, and theoretical frameworks to demonstrate the influence of tides on carbon uptake. It begins by explaining the basics of tidal dynamics and ocean mixing before examining the link between tidal mixing and primary productivity. It then explores the fate of biologically fixed carbon, including its transport and long-term storage. Finally, it addresses the implications for climate change mitigation.

The book stands out by focusing on the understudied impact of tides, differentiating itself from research that emphasizes wind-driven or convective mixing. This comprehensive approach, suitable for students and researchers in oceanography and climate science, provides a deeper understanding of oceanography, climatology, and biogeochemistry. It emphasizes the real-world applications, such as improving climate models and informing carbon sequestration strategies, and highlights the potential for "blue carbon" initiatives in coastal ecosystems.

Intimate Subjects - Touch and...

Simeon Koole

An insightful history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Britain told through a single sense: touch.
When, where, and who gets to touch and be touched, and who decides? What do we learn through touch? How does touch bring us closer together or push us apart? These are urgent contemporary questions, but they have their origins in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Britain, when new urban encounters compelled intense discussion of what touch was, and why it mattered. In this vividly written book, Simeon Koole excavates the history of these concerns and reveals how they continue to shape ideas about “touch” in the present.
Intimate Subjects takes us to the bustling railway stations, shady massage parlors, all-night coffee stalls, and other shared spaces where passengers, customers, vagrants, and others came into contact, leading to new understandings of touch. We travel in crammed subway cars, where strangers negotiated the boundaries of personal space. We visit tea shops where waitresses made difficult choices about autonomy and consent. We enter classrooms in which teachers wondered whether blind children could truly grasp the world and labs in which neurologists experimented on themselves and others to unlock the secrets of touch. We tiptoe through London’s ink-black fogs, in which disoriented travelers became newly conscious of their bodies and feared being accosted by criminals. Across myriad forgotten encounters such as these, Koole shows, touch remade what it meant to be embodied—as well as the meanings of disability, personal boundaries, and scientific knowledge.
With imagination and verve, Intimate Subjects offers a new way of theorizing the body and the senses, as well as a new way of thinking about embodiment and vulnerability today.

How To Make It In Nursing As A...

Patrice M Foster

Are you a man looking to get into nursing and do not know how to?
Do you wish to understand just what it takes to become a nurse in a female-dominated field?
If so, then you have come to the right place.
This book will usher you into the world of being a male nurse and thriving at it!
For a better part of the last decade, nursing has been considered a female domain, with men being looked at as anomalies in the field. The view that men cannot make good nurses has thus led to widespread stereotypes of men who get into the field. Men in nursing are generally often viewed with suspicion, with people even questioning their sexual orientation.
However, as you will learn in this book, nursing had originally been a field meant for men. During the old periods up until the 19thcentury, large-scale caregiving was a role that was meant for men. Thus, this already defeats the stereotype that men lack the necessary temperament to get into nursing.
Furthermore, men who get into nursing consider it the most fulfilling profession that they could choose and simply want to care for people.
So, perhaps you may be wondering…
Why is it hard for men to get into nursing?
What are some of the challenges male nurses face in the profession?
How do female nurses react to and treat their male colleagues?
What are male nurses doing to change the negative perception of men in the field?
What does the future hold for male nurses?
If these and many questions are bothering you, then this is the book that answers them and more, as it covers the ins and outs of becoming a male nurse and how to make the best of it.

The Shocking Truth about Animal...

Zoey Fraisers

Animal testing has long been a cornerstone of scientific research, serving as a method to understand biological processes, test the safety and efficacy of products, and develop medical treatments. It involves the use of live animals in experiments and observational studies to explore the effects of drugs, chemicals, and other substances on biological systems. This practice, while often viewed as essential, is fraught with controversy, ethical dilemmas, and scientific scrutiny. 
The origins of animal testing can be traced back to ancient Greece, where philosophers like Aristotle and Erasistratus conducted rudimentary experiments on animals to study anatomy and physiology. Over centuries, as medicine and technology advanced, the scope and complexity of animal testing expanded. By the 19th and 20th centuries, animal experimentation had become an institutionalized component of biomedical research, contributing to groundbreaking discoveries such as vaccines, antibiotics, and surgical techniques. 
Today, animal testing is pervasive across multiple industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemicals. It is primarily used to evaluate the safety of products, ensure regulatory compliance, and develop new treatments for diseases. Animals such as mice, rats, rabbits, and primates are commonly employed because of their physiological similarities to humans, which researchers argue make them suitable models for studying human biology.
