Offering insight into the connections between design choice and the resulting statistical analysis, this book explores how experiments are designed using the language of linear statistical models. It also discusses factorial group screening experiments, regression model design, and an introduction to optimal design.

An account of the comparative anatomy, development, homologies, and evolution of the head, neck, pectoral, and forelimb muscles of vertebrates. It includes hundreds of illustrations that show the homologies between the muscles of all the major extant vertebrate taxa.

Describes wave propagation in magneto-dielectric materials. This text considers the magnetic state of a magnetic ion, for example, at the atomic scale, and provides a mathematical link to wave propagation at the macroscopic scale. It presents qualitative and quantitative arguments to calculate magnetic parameters from first principles.

Based on research and practice, this book comprehensively examines the elements of what is needed to be knowledgeable and creative when designing for emerging markets. It provides an in-depth look at research methods in emerging markets and underserved communities. The authors demonstrate how ecosystems mapping could become an essential tool to define the elements impacting design decisions. They discuss methods to develop solution spaces based on the output from user research studies. The book includes case studies and design examples that provide insights on how to avoid pitfalls in designing outside of the comfort zone and for emerging markets.

It offers cutting-edge research, prescribing lenses and prisms and therapy techniques that will enable even the experienced clinician to provide enhanced care to the brain injury patient.

A specific indefinite presupposes that someone has in mind an individual who has the property denoted by its descriptive content. Having an individual inmind means that the agent knows who the referent is. This affects the information state of the agent, but not the others. The asymmetric information, shared by all conversational participants, requires a common ground to have multiple information states, each for each participant. The information state of the agent who has an individual in mind must be structured into sub-information-states so that each sub-information-state associates the specific indefinite with a different unique individual. It then conveys the information that the agent has some individual in mind, but that it is not known yet who it is. This analysis thus requires a new dynamic semantics which is partially representational and partially denotational. Specific indefinites tend to have widest scope, which is explained by claiming that specific indefinites trigger presuppositions. Presuppositions are assumed to have various scopes with respect to operators in a sentence, and the strongest reading is preferred on rational and economic basis. Stronger readings roughly correspond to wider scopes. This book will be of interest to scholars who work on indefinite NPs, presuppositions, anaphora in belief contexts, and dynamic semantics in general.
