Using animal models combined with recent advances in molecular genetics, imaging technologies and behavior assays has allowed neuroendocrinologists to unravel mechanisms underlying the development and function of neuroendocrine systems, includingtheir cell biology, neuronal circuit definition and function, and their physiological and behavioral outputs. Model Animals in Neuroendocrinology: From Worm to Mouse to Man demonstrates the opportunities that different model animals give to our basic understanding of neuroendocrine functions and mechanisms of action and the translational implications of this understanding. A variety of model animals, including, invertebrates, fish, birds, amphibians, rodents and large mammals are used throughout the book, detailing their genetic analysis, nervous systems and the importance of species conservation, all of which play a key role in neuroendocrine research. This book will provide students, scientists and practitioners with a contemporary account of what can be learnt about the functions of neuroendocrine systems from studies across animal taxa.

A guide to the application of the theory and practice of computing to develop and maintain software that economically solves real-world problemHow to Engineer Software is a practical, how-to guide that explores the concepts and techniques of model-based software engineering using the Unified Modeling Language. The author--a noted expert on the topic--demonstrates how software can be developed and maintained under a true engineering discipline. He describes the relevant software engineering practices that are grounded in Computer Science and Discrete Mathematics.Model-based software engineering uses semantic modeling to reveal as many precise requirements as possible. This approach separates business complexities from technology complexities, and gives developers the most freedom in finding optimal designs and code. The book promotes development scalability through domain partitioning and subdomain partitioning. It also explores software documentation that specifically and intentionally adds value for development and maintenance. This important book:* Contains many illustrative examples of model-based software engineering, from semantic model all the way to executable code* Explains how to derive verification (acceptance) test cases from a semantic model* Describes project estimation, along with alternative software development and maintenance processes* Shows how to develop and maintain cost-effective software that solves real-world problemsWritten for graduate and undergraduate students in software engineering and professionals in the field, How to Engineer Software offers an introduction to applying the theory of computing with practice and judgment in order to economically develop and maintain software.
