Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - You've researched your character extensively, tailored her to your audience,sketched hundreds of versions, andnow you lean back content as you gaze at your finalcharacter model sheet.Butnow what Whether you want to useher in an animated film,television show, video game, web comic, or children's book, you're going to have to make her perform. How a character looks and is costumed starts to tell her story, but her body language reveals even more. Character Mentor shows you how to pose your character, create emotion through facial expressions, and stage your character to create drama. Author Tom Bancroft addresses each topic with clear, concise prose, and then shows you what he really means through commenting on and redrawing artwork from a variety ofstudent 'apprentices.' His assignments allow you to join in and bring your drawing to the next level with concrete techniques, as well as more theoretical analysis. Character Mentor is an apprenticeship in a book. Professional artists from a variety of media offer their experience through additional commentary. These include Marcus Hamilton (Dennis the Menace), Terry Dodson (X-Men), Bobby Rubio (Pixar), Sean 'Cheeks' Galloway (Spiderman animated), and more. With a foreword by comicbook artist Adam Hughes, who has produced work for DC, Marvel Comics, Lucasfilm, Warner Bros. Pictures, and other companies.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Emergency and critical care medicine is one of the fastest growing fields of veterinary practice. Virtually every life-threatening disease can present for emergency evaluation, requiring knowledge of internal medicine, neurology, cardiology, oncology, anesthesia, and much more. Rapid and effective application of this knowledge can mean the difference between life and death for the animal.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In recent years, a tremendous amount of effort has been focused on better understanding the fundamentals of Alzheimer's disease (AD) to facilitate early and accurate diagnosis and appropriately targeted therapeutic treatments. Alzheimer's Disease: Targets for New Clinical, Diagnostic, and Therapeutic Strategies provides a detailed synopsis of the current state of the art of diagnostics and therapeutics and identifies emerging technologies and molecules that show promise in the management and treatment of AD.With contributions from experts drawn from academia, clinical practice, and the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, the book explores: - The basis of AD and the role of Aß oligomers in development of disease - Existing and emerging in vitro biomarker-based methodologies for the diagnosis of AD, focusing on genetic, biochemical, and conformational strategies - In vivo imaging diagnostic approaches - Evolving diagnostic criteria, health regulatory guidelines, biomarkers in clinical trials, and available and emerging therapies - Recent progress in small-molecule disease-modifier drug discovery efforts for AD, specifically in the areas of Aß, tau, and emerging neuroprotective/neurorepair approaches - How a case study of AD raises issues regarding clinical and pathologic criteria, risk factors, and the amyloid hypothesis - The molecular conformational factors that govern the pathogenicity of aggregating proteins, and how these factors could represent new targets for disease-modifying therapies - The latest epidemiological, pathological, biochemical, and behavioral studies that may shed some light on the risk of developing AD and similar dementias after traumatic brain injury Examining current hypotheses and suggesting possible new approaches to therapeutic clinical applications, this volume paves the way for a robust pipeline of therapeutics to combat not only AD, but a whole host of other neurodegenerative diseases.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Interpretive spectroscopy provides a basis for the establishment of cause-and-effect relationships between NIR spectrometer response and the chemical properties of the samples. Without established cause-effect relationships, the measured data has no true predictive significance. This interpretive process is key for achieving an analytical understanding of the measurement. In the expanded second edition of Practical Guide and Spectral Atlas for Interpretive Near-Infrared Spectroscopy, the authors include new research, editorials, supplements, and molecular structural formulas, along with updated references and information on NIR spectra. The thoroughly updated and revised second edition offers a full library of color spectra in a larger format to ensure clarity and reader comprehension.Providing a rich set of reference information required to interpret NIR spectra for research and industrial applications, this book: - Offers more than 300 figures representing all the major functional groups and their NIR frequency ranges - Contains over 120 pages of tables and charts illustrating overlapping spectra - Covers NIR spectra for organic compounds, including alkanes, carboxylic acids, amines, dienes, alkynes, heterocyclic compounds, amino acids, and aldehydes - Provides comprehensive appendices with spectra-structure correlations, example spectra, and other useful data for interpreting NIR spectra.
