Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Rodents are the most commonly used species in biomedical research. Individuals conducting rodent research are often responsible to ensure that all areas of anesthesia and analgesia are performed humanely. Anesthetic agent selection, anesthetic monitoring, and postoperative pain assessment and management are essential to the institutional animal care and use program and contribute significantly to the 3Rs by reducing pain and/or distress and refining various procedures. The Handbook of Laboratory Animal Anesthesia and Pain Management: Rodents is the first book to capture multiple advances in this important area that greatly impacts various experimental methodologies. Richly illustrated in full color, the book serves as a quick reference source for investigators, veterinarians, technicians, and other animal caretakers charged with the care and use of rodents in a research setting. The unique format of this book also makes it extremely valuable to IACUC members, institutional officials, and occupational health and safety professionals. Key features: Presents practical information in easily accessible 'bullet point' format Covers anesthetic machine and related equipment, anesthetic management and monitoring, anesthesia and analgesia pharmacology, euthanasia, and record keeping Written by well-recognized experts in the laboratory animal community Provides extensive references to direct the reader to sources for further study of alternative techniques and their procedures Concludes with a thorough chapter on Regulatory Management of Rodent Anesthesia which has global application.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This biography centers on the late Elizabeth Leonard Scott's use of statistical reasoning to promote the status of women in academia. Scott (1917- 1988) was a professor of statistics at the University of California at Berkeley (UCB). She was known for her scientific research in mathematical statistics, astronomy, and biostatistics, but she is especially remembered for her work on the status of academic women.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Full of real-world case studies and practical advice, Exploratory Multivariate Analysis by Example Using R, Second Edition focuses on four fundamental methods of multivariate exploratory data analysis that are most suitable for applications. It covers principal component analysis (PCA) when variables are quantitative, correspondence analysis (CA) and multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) when variables are categorical, and hierarchical cluster analysis. The authors take a geometric point of view that provides a unified vision for exploring multivariate data tables. Within this framework, they present the principles, indicators, and ways of representing and visualising objects that are common to the exploratory methods. The authors show how to use categorical variables in a PCA context in which variables are quantitative, how to handle more than two categorical variables in a CA context in which there are originally two variables, and how to add quantitative variables in an MCA context in which variables are categorical. They also illustrate the methods using examples from various fields, with related R code accessible in the FactoMineR package developed by the authors.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Over recent years electronic spectroscopy has developed significantly, with key applications in atmospheric chemistry, astrophysics and astrochemistry. High Resolution Electronic Spectroscopy of Small Molecules explores both theoretical and experimental approaches to understanding the electronic spectra of small molecules, and explains how this information translates to practice.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book deals with certain aspects of material science, particularly with the release of thermal energy associated with bond breaking. It clearly establishes the connection between heat transfer rates and product quality. The editors then sharply draw the thermal distinctions between the various categories of welding processes, and demonstrate how these distinctions are translated into simulation model uniqueness. The book discusses the incorporation of radiative heat transfer processes into the simulation model.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Adsorption and desorption in solution play significant roles in separations, detoxification of waste streams, in purification, chromatography, heterogeneous catalysis, metabolism of medicinal drugs, and beyond. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are well-ordered 3-dimensional hybrid organic-inorganic polymers. Mesoporous MOFs with pore sizes 2-50 nm are particularly suitable for adsorption and adsorption-based separations of large molecules of organic and bio-organic compounds. This book covers fundamental research on using mesoporous MOFs for emerging applications of major industrial, environmental and academic importance, especially for purification and separations of water and liquid fossil fuels.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book brings an overview of the necessary notions related to Lp-stability, impulsive delayed systems, switched systems, approximate dynamic programming, reinforcement learning, Markov processes, ergodicity, and scheduling protocols, followed by some realistic applications and engineering problems. Each of the eight chapters is written and organized to be as self-contained as possible through introductory sections tailored to provide the motivation and essential background of the theories required to develop selected applications and solve engineering problems of interest. The coherent and versatile framework presented by this book can be applied to various settings.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The construction industry is challenged with building materials components of which are more and more difficult, if not impossible, to identify. Building material emissions have been implicated as a major source of indoor air pollution, and toxic gases, often unidentified, are generated in building fires.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book is a combination of two research fields: data mining and multimedia. It investigates various techniques related to mining multimedia documents based on text, image and video features. It provides an insight into the open research problems benefitting advanced undergraduates, graduates, researchers, scientists and practitioners in the fields of medicine, biology, production, education, government, national security and economy.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This practical guide to the design and construction of tunnels in rock covers all the critical steps, from geotechnical site investigations through to construction supervision. The book provides recommendations for practitioners on such topics as laboratory testing, durability of rock and acceptance for unlined water conveyance tunnels, overstressing of deep and long tunnels, risk-based evaluation of excavation methods, contract strategies, and post-construction inspections. Key considerations and lessons learned from selected case projects are presented based on the author's international experience of 30+ years and 1000 km of tunneling for civil, hydropower, and mining infrastructure.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Pinnipeds are a fascinating group of marine mammals that play a crucial role as apex predators and sentinels of the functioning and health of marine ecosystems. They are found in the most extreme environments from the Polar regions to the tropics. Pinnipeds are comprised of about 34 species, and of those at least 25% live permanently in tropical zones. This book reviews and updates current research on the biology, marine ecology, bio-monitoring, and conservation of tropical pinniped populations, including their behavior, anthropogenic stressors, and health. It also looks at challenges to be faced for the conservation of tropical pinnipeds, many of which are threatened species.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The book is intended for students of graduate and postgraduate level, researchers in mathematical sciences as well as those who want to apply the spectral theory of second order differential operators in exterior domains to their own field. In the first half of this book, the classical results of spectral and scattering theory: the selfadjointness, essential spectrum, absolute continuity of the continuous spectrum, spectral representations, short-range and long-range scattering are summarized. In the second half, recent results: scattering of Schrodinger operators on a star graph, uniform resolvent estimates, smoothing properties and Strichartz estimates, and some applications are discussed.
