Frog Pressure Sensing

Sinopse

Frog Pressure Sensing explores the remarkable ability of frogs to detect water vibrations, a crucial sense given their lack of external ears. This book reveals how frogs use specialized anatomy, including the tympanic membrane, to sense their aquatic environment; a mechanism vital for locating prey and avoiding predators. The book bridges biology, physics, and neuroscience to explain how these amphibians convert subtle pressure changes into neural signals, offering a novel perspective on the frog's inner ear as a highly sensitive pressure gradient receiver.

 
The book progresses from the physics of water vibration to the frog's auditory system and neural processing. It presents diverse evidence, including electrophysiological recordings and high-speed video analysis, to show how frogs pinpoint prey. By understanding this sensory modality, readers gain insights into the frog's behavior and broader principles of sensory processing, challenging traditional views of frog hearing.

 
This knowledge has practical applications in designing underwater acoustic sensors and autonomous underwater vehicles.

Rescuing Penny Jane - One...

Anônimo

Drawing on her work at a shelter, her experiences living with two rescue dogs of her own, and years of research, bestselling author and Boston Globe columnist Amy Sutherland takes us on an unforgettable journey into the special world of rescue and shelter dogs—and the growing number of dedicated people who are deeply invested in saving these precious lives. 
Terrified Penny Jane; brassy but filthy Dixie Lou; tough-guy Dingo; and the crazed, nippy jester, Walter Joe. These are not your average cute-and-cared-for, well-trained pups—these are shelter dogs. Scared, aggressive, so painfully shy that they can’t look you in the eye, they have languished so long without attention that they are slipping into a dark place, and soon will no longer be able to bond with people. 
A member of the elite corps of volunteers at Boston’s Animal Rescue League, Amy Sutherland began walking shelter dogs in 2001 and has patiently helped train canines with serious behavior problems. Rescuing Penny Jane is the story of her adventures with these remarkable dogs, from working at a shelter, helping dozens of animals discover that the right person can give them love, hope, and a whole new life, to adopting two rescue dogs of her own and fostering half a dozen more. In addition to her touching, funny, and insightful anecdotes, Sutherland travels the country talking to leading shelter experts, animal behaviorists, and activists. 
An affecting, entertaining portrait of the relationships between shelter dogs and those who care for them, Rescuing Penny Jane is a book that dog lovers and all who care about animals will treasure.

Islands in the Snow - A journey...

Mark Horrell

Two days east of Lukla was a pleasant yak pasture surrounded by high peaks. When Col. Jim Roberts set out to look for it in 1953, he ended up making the first ascent of Mera Peak and sowing the seeds of Himalayan tourism. 
Mera Peak has become a popular goal for trekkers and novice mountaineers, but few people climb to its true summit, and fewer still travel beyond it to find the secret yak pasture that sparked Roberts’ journey. 
The yak pasture was the Hongu Valley, a hidden sanctuary of grassland, lakes and glaciers linking Mera Peak with the Everest region and Island Peak to the north. Fifty years after Roberts, Mark Horrell embarked on a trek through Nepal’s Khumbu region to follow in his footsteps, climb the two trekking peaks at either end of the valley, and resolve a long-standing mystery about Mera Peak’s height. 
Join Mark on a captivating journey through this enchanting region of high mountains and remote valleys.

Rashtrakuta Empire - Military...

Rolf Hedger

The Rashtrakutas were one of the most powerful dynasties in Indian history, ruling vast territories across the Deccan and beyond. Their origins, however, remain a subject of debate among historians due to conflicting inscriptions and interpretations. Some sources trace their roots to the Kannada-speaking regions, while others suggest connections to northern India. Despite the uncertainty, it is widely accepted that the Rashtrakutas emerged as a prominent force in the Deccan by the 8th century.
The dynasty first gained prominence under the rule of Dantidurga, who established Rashtrakuta authority by overthrowing the Chalukyas of Badami. However, evidence suggests that the Rashtrakutas had been a significant regional power even before his reign. The earliest references to the name "Rashtrakuta" appear in inscriptions from the 6th and 7th centuries, indicating that they were already influential feudatories before rising to imperial status. Some scholars believe they originally served as administrators or military governors under the Chalukyas before asserting their independence.
The question of the dynasty’s ethnic and linguistic identity has long been debated. Some sources claim that they were of Kannada origin, citing inscriptions and literary works composed in the Kannada language under their patronage. Others argue that they may have had northern Indian roots, pointing to their interactions with Rajput and Gurjara clans. Regardless of their precise origins, the Rashtrakutas embraced the cultural diversity of the Deccan, ruling over a population that spoke multiple languages, including Kannada, Sanskrit, and Marathi.

FUBAR - America's Right-Wing...

Anônimo

The United States has survived clueless presidential administrations before. But no matter how enormous the crisis -- the Great Depression, Vietnam, Watergate, Monica Lewinsky's thong -- America's always come out looking like, well, America. 
This time, however, something's different. Things aren't just screwed up; they're f&#!d up beyond all recognition. Welcome to F.U.B.A.R., a hilariously scathing satirical rundown of the Radical Right's takeover of America, by the creators of Air America's Majority Report. 
If you're a liberal who's somehow not panicked over the state of our union, or if you're a Republican who's just having voter's remorse, or if you think what's happening to the country is just politics as usual, F.U.B.A.R. will open your eyes to our current national nightmare. With completely unfair and unbalanced analysis, authors Sam Seder and Stephen Sherrill take readers on a whirlwind tour of what's left of the United States, exposing the truth about the Right's blueprint for total domination -- over your money, your mind, your sex life, and even your place in the afterlife (yes, they have a plan for that, too). 
Finally, Seder and Sherrill offer a helpful and hopeful vision for a future that remarkably doesn't look like a cross between the Matrix and Mayberry. F.U.B.A.R. is the wake-up call America has been waiting to receive -- and it will probably be wiretapped.

Trivia Hub

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
High School Musical is a 2006 American musical television film produced by Disney Channel. The film stars Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, and follows students Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez as they audition for the school musical, causing division among the school's social cliques. The film's success led to sequels, spin-offs, a television series, and stage adaptations. It premiered on January 20, 2006, and generated 7.7 million viewers in the U.S., breaking the then-record for the highest premiere for the network. The film's soundtrack was also a commercial success. High School Musical is considered a modern adaptation of Romeo & Juliet. The film's success has had a significant impact on the Disney Channel and its programming.
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
High School Musical was conceived after writer Peter Barsocchini was inspired by a high school basketball teammate who wanted to be a ballet dancer. This idea of a basketball player also having musical aspirations became the central theme of the movie.
The movie's development was also influenced by the success of musical episodes in Disney Channel's Even Stevens and That's So Raven. Disney executives recognized the appeal of the musical format among their young audience.
High School Musical was filmed in Utah, using East High School and Murray High School as primary locations. Additional filming took place in Los Angeles.
The movie's budget was a relatively low $4.2 million, but its success led Disney Channel to increase budgets for future television films. This allowed the network to develop more "tentpole" movies based on music or popular franchises.
