Sommario/riassunto |
|
Social protection is an increasingly important part of the social policy dialogue in Africa, and yet because of its relatively new place in a rapidly evolving agenda, evidence on critical design choices such as targeting, and on impacts of social protection interventions, is mostly limited to case studies or small, unrepresentative surveys. This impressive collection makes a major contribution to building the evidence base, drawing on rigorous analysis of social protection programmes in several African countries, as well as original research and thinking on key topical issues in the social |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This new edition explores the many new developments in the understanding of human color vision, covering levels from genetics to perception, and studied with state-of-the-art methods in genetics, morphology, imaging techniques, electrophysiology, psychophysics, and computational neuroscience. Among the topics discussed are the genetics of the photopigments; the anatomy and physiology of photoreceptors, and retinal and cortical pathways; color perception; the effects of disorders; theories on neuronal processes and the evolution of human color vision. The book gives a comprehensive overview of the different disciplines in human color vision in a way that makes it accessible to specialists and non-specialist scientists alike. This new edition of Human Color Vision features expanded clinical coverage and includes new chapters on Age-dependency in Color Vision and Higher Levels of Color Vision Psychophysics. |
