Info

The investigation begins in the United States with Robert Provine, a neuroscientist and psychologist at the University of Maryland who has devoted his career to the study of the evolution of human laughter and the neural mechanisms that produce it. We follow Provine into the classroom, the lab, and finally, the field - in this case, a college cafeteria - as he explains what his studies of laughter have revealed about the human brain. But laughter did not begin with humans. The film burrows deeper into its evolutionary origins with Dutch ethologist Jan Van Hoof, another pioneer of the laughter sciences. Van Hoof takes us inside his chimpanzee observation cabin to witness his behavioral experiments with the primates, showing us how he determined what constitutes chimpanzee laughter, and how he distinguishes between different vocalizations and facial expressions. From these discipline-defining studies, A NATURAL HISTORY OF LAUGHTER expands outwards as Mitsch's scientist subjects track the broader implications of their findings. They leave us with a series of suggestive questions. How do animals experience emotions? Is laughter at the root of human empathy? Does laughter contribute to or indicate overall health? Prompting these thoughts and many others, this informative film is bound also to make you laugh - but not in the ways you expected. Item no. : FC03210840 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 48 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 348.00 PHASE PHASE PHASE EQUILIBRIA EQUILIBRIA - GENERATION GENERATION OF OF PHASE PHASE DIAGRAMS DIAGRAMS FROM FROM FREE FREE ENERGY ENERGY CURVES CURVES Illustrates the relationship between the relative positions of free energy curves and the natures of phase diagrams or phase transformations. Several cases are considered: a single-lens diagram, a maximum in the solidus and liquidus lines (positive azeotrope), a two-phase eutectic, a two-phase peritectic, a three-phase eutectic, and a three-phase peritectic. Demonstrates applications of the lever rule and looks at its industrial application in the iron-carbon and alumina-magnesia systems that incorporate several of the transformations. Item no. : YZ07860296 Format : DVD Duration : 23 minutes Price : USD 220.00 PHASE PHASE EQUILIBRIA EQUILIBRIA - TERNARY TERNARY DIAGRAMS DIAGRAMS DERIVED DERIVED FROM FROM BINARI BINARIES BINARI BINARIES ES Examines the relationship of phase diagrams to many real cases of materials technology.

Item no. : DZ22170091 Format : DVD Duration : 20 minutes Audience : Grades 3-8 Copyright : 2011 StdBkNo : 1934119318 Price : USD 149.00 REGENERATION REGENERATION Regeneration is a documentary film that follows the studies of scientists as they explore the possibilities of regenerative medicine in humans. Computer-generated images can present an idea of what would happen if the human body possessed regenerative capabilities similar to those of certain animals. An arm grows back after amputation; a foot regenerates in just a few days; a head blossoms on the trunk of a decapitated body. Currently human embryo research is forbidden, but alternative research on animal stem cells is showing that it just may be possible to adapt the miracle of re-growth to humans. This one-hour documentary tells the fascinating story of the search for Regeneration.
