First Aid Guide for Writers

Miller, Paul

McGraw - Hill Custom College Series

A textbook for students with limited background in mathematics and computer coding, emphasizing computer tutorials that guide readers in producing models of neural behavior.
This introductory text teaches students to understand, simulate, and analyze the complex behaviors of individual neurons and brain circuits. It is built around computer tutorials that guide students in producing models of neural behavior, with the associated Matlab code freely available online. From these models students learn how individual neurons function and how, when connected, neurons cooperate in a circuit. The book demonstrates through simulated models how oscillations, multistability, post-stimulus rebounds, and chaos can arise within either single neurons or circuits, and it explores their roles in the brain. 
The book first presents essential background in neuroscience, physics, mathematics, and Matlab, with explanations illustrated by many example problems. Subsequent chapters cover the neuron and spike production; single spike trains and the underlying cognitive processes; conductance-based models; the simulation of synaptic connections; firing-rate models of large-scale circuit operation; dynamical systems and their components; synaptic plasticity; and techniques for analysis of neuron population datasets, including principal components analysis, hidden Markov modeling, and Bayesian decoding. 
Accessible to undergraduates in life sciences with limited background in mathematics and computer coding, the book can be used in a “flipped” or “inverted” teaching approach, with class time devoted to hands-on work on the computer tutorials. It can also be a resource for graduate students in the life sciences who wish to gain computing skills and a deeper knowledge of neural function and neural circuits.

Behind The Microphone is a novel based on the often funny, and frequently turbulent, broadcasting career of a fictional character by the name of Pat Milligan. Reading, chapter-to-chapter, about the wild experiences that Pat endures as he rises from small town radio announcer to the top of his field is like reading a series of short stories. Most of the chapters are funny. Some are exciting. All of them are interesting. Pat's teeth-clenching fear of flying causes him to change jobs more often than once. His job advancements are based on him being the right guy, at the right place, at the right time, more than on his skills or experience. The fact that he worked cheap early in his career helped. There was almost no stunt that he wouldn't pull on his radio programs to entertain his listeners. Behind The Microphone affords every reader the opportunity to spend some time in the radio stations where Pat Milligan worked and get to know some of the fictional zany broadcasting people he worked with. Behind The Microphone chronicles Pat's career path in imaginary situations as he interacts with imaginary characters whom he meets, as his radio career takes him from city to city and station to station. Much like the author, Pat started as a lowly announcer and went on to become a successful broadcasting executive. The bumpy road that Pat took to get from the bottom to a top management position in the radio industry is what this novel is all about. Sometimes it's funny. Sometimes it's dramatic, and sometimes it's just plain crazy.

"Lancaster, Ohio -- What a Town, What a Time!" is a sometimes poignant, often funny, true story of a young boy's life in a small Ohio town during the Great Depression years through World War II. With the support of large, easy to read type and lots of really interesting vintage photos, it contains the author's personal recollections of the events, the colorful town characters, and his always exciting life in general during one of the most unusual times in America's history. Although it contains plenty of interesting historical material from the era, it is more of a colorful autobiography than a history book. As the author moves from childhood to young adult he shares with the readers some of his early experiences as a novice radio announcer, including his hilarious enncounters with a few of the famous people he interviewed on the radio before he moved up to an executive broadcast position and ended his radio career as a vice president of the broadcast division of the Washington Post Company.

Pesticide Application Methods is the standard work on the subject for all those involved in crop protection. This fully updated Fourth Edition takes account of the considerable changes in legislation, especially within the European Union, affecting some pesticides and how they can be applied. With greater emphasis now on protecting the environment, an additional chapter in this edition describes the importance of managing treatments to minimise spray drift, and the chapter on applying biopesticides has been updated, with the assistance of Paul Miller and Roy Bateman respectively. Basic information on the role of pesticides in integrated pest management is given with a discussion on the importance of defining the target and choice of spray spectrum to optimise delivery. The range of droplets and types of equipment for different methods of application, including seed treatment, are described with information on safe use and maintenance. Pesticide Application Methods, 4th Edition, provides an essential reference for all those involved in crop protection, including entomologists, plant pathologists, weed scientists and agricultural engineers, whether researchers, consultants or those training in international, government or academic organisations, or the plant science industry. Libraries in all universities and research establishments where agricultural and biological sciences are studied or taught should have copies of this excellent new edition on their shelves.
