Download or read book Wilkins Walling Journal written by Charles Compton Wilkins and published by Willow Bend Books. This book was released on 2003 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Browne. Charles Compton Wilkins' journals were written so that generations yet unborn could read and be proud of their pioneering ancestors, who, at great risk and privations, left their comfortable homes and forged west to the land of their dreams: Texas. Genealogists will delight in the wealth of names contained in this family history of Charles Compton Wilkins and his beloved wife, Mary Ella Walling. Much more than genealogical data, this narrative history is written in a relaxed manner that brings family members to life. Anyone interested in American history will appreciate the detailed account that begins with the marriage of Charles'grandparents, John Dougherty Doxey and Betsy Conway, in 1813. This pioneering family left Maryland to brave the wilderness, settling first in Missouri. Readers will finda vivid portrait of 19th century America within these pages. The hazards and joys of everyday life; social and economic issues; and interesting details such as the cost of land, crops and livestock; are tied to events of historical significance. Numerous photographs enhance the text. Family charts are included for Comptons, Herndons, Ryons, Wilkins, Salmons, Digges, Whiteheads, Burrowes, Carmans and Wrights. 2004, 8? x 11, paper, 294 pp. $33.00 B0916 ISBN: 1-58549-916-1

Download or read book The Development of Mature Walking written by David Sutherland and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important monograph summarizes a comprehensive study on the maturation of walking in normal children. Research, undertaken at one of the world's leading gait analysis centers, involved over 400 studies on a total of nearly 300 children in ten age-groups from one to seven years. Data are presented on anthropometric measurements; tests of developmental progress; time/distance parameters such as stride length and walking velocity; twelve joint angles on each side measured throughout the gait cycle; dynamic electromyography of phasic activity in seven lower-extremity muscle groups; and force measurements including vertical force, fore/aft shear, medial/lateral shear and torque. At each age, composite joint-angle graphs and time/distance parameters are brought together with film tracings of a representative child in that age group. In addition, advanced methods of statistical analysis have been applied to the joint-angle data to define prediction regions within which ninety-five percent of normal children should lie throughout the gait cycle. Finally, a "decision tree" is presented from which a fitted age can be inferred for a subject based on non-age-specific data gathered in a motion analysis lab. Practical applications are demonstrated in a chapter devoted to two case studies.

Download or read book Borders and Border Walls written by Andréanne Bissonnette and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the recent evolution of borderlines around the world as an attempt to control transnational movements with a view to securitization of borders rooted in the need to control mobility and preserve national identities. This book moves beyond physical borders and studies new manifestations of borders such as technological and symbolic walls. It brings together scholars from various academic fields such as geography, political science, and border studies to examine the various movements, functions and articulations of international borders. It explores two main issues: how international borders have become enforced lines of demarcation and division, reinforcing national identity and impacting national and regional dynamics; and the material and immaterial, discursive and concrete expressions of borders and the impacts of the transformation of bodies into threat to be monitored, as daily lives become sites of border enforcement. Offering multidisciplinary insights on the growing phenomenon of border walls, this book will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students of Border Studies, European Studies, International Relations, Political Geography, and Regional Studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This comprehensive book presents an integrated study of human movement and applies this knowledge to human performance and physical activity across the lifespan. The Biophysical Foundations of Human Movement, Second Edition, considers basic methods and concepts, typical research questions, key historical developments, professional training and organizations, and suggestions for further reading within each subdiscipline. The authors offer a unique perspective on the subdisciplines by exploring not only the basic science but also the changes in human movement and movement potential that occur throughout the lifespan as well in response to training, practice, and other lifestyle factors.".

Book excerpt: Forensic science includes all aspects of investigating a crime, including: chemistry, biology and physics, and also incorporates countless other specialties. Today, the service offered under the guise of "forensic science’ includes specialties from virtually all aspects of modern science, medicine, engineering, mathematics and technology. The Encyclopedia of Forensic Sciences, Second Edition, Four Volume Set is a reference source that will inform both the crime scene worker and the laboratory worker of each other’s protocols, procedures and limitations. Written by leading scientists in each area, every article is peer reviewed to establish clarity, accuracy, and comprehensiveness. As reflected in the specialties of its Editorial Board, the contents covers the core theories, methods and techniques employed by forensic scientists – and applications of these that are used in forensic analysis. This 4-volume set represents a 30% growth in articles from the first edition, with a particular increase in coverage of DNA and digital forensics Includes an international collection of contributors The second edition features a new 21-member editorial board, half of which are internationally based Includes over 300 articles, approximately 10pp on average Each article features a) suggested readings which point readers to additional sources for more information, b) a list of related Web sites, c) a 5-10 word glossary and definition paragraph, and d) cross-references to related articles in the encyclopedia Available online via SciVerse ScienceDirect.

Download or read book Evidence Based Equine Nutrition written by Teresa Hollands and published by CABI. This book was released on 2023-09-30 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uniquely provides both the scientific basis of equine nutrition and the translation of that science into practical, day-to-day feeding advice. It summarises the latest research to provide readers with the evidence base needed to both confidently advise those who want to understand the science behind equine nutrition, and apply that evidence into practical advice for anyone who just wants to know how to feed horses. Both veterinary and animal science courses struggle to provide adequate nutrition training within their syllabuses. Much of the general information available is poorly explained and not evidence based. This book fills that gap, with the author team relaying over 50 cumulative years' experience teaching equine nutrition to both practising clinicians and students. A recommended resource to support the teaching of veterinary nutrition, this book should also be found on the bookshelf of all veterinarians, animal scientists, trainers, nutritionists, and nutritional advisors.
