Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An accessible and enjoyable introduction to pathology and the mechanisms of disease, this book puts pathology into its historical, scientific and clinical context. Organized in four main themes - What is a Disease, Defense Against Disease, Circulatory Disorders and Disorders of Cell Growth - the text highlights key mechanisms and their interplay in producing symptoms, signs and disease. Supplemented throughout with colorful cartoons, and much-praised clinical scenarios, this entertaining look at pathology offers historical anecdotes and helpful key-points boxes.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This is a highly illustrated guide to the diagnosis and management of nail conditions in children. With new material on genetics and on developments such as dermoscopy, it will be invaluable as a reliable clinical reference for both dermatologists and pediatricians, as well as those in family practice.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book provides a comprehensive overview of music data analysis, from introductory material to advanced concepts. It covers various applications including transcription and segmentation as well as chord and harmony, instrument and tempo recognition. It also discusses the implementation aspects of music data analysis such as architecture, user interface and hardware. It is ideal for use in university classes with an interest in music data analysis. It also could be used in computer science and statistics as well as musicology.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book provides a complete overview of the theory, design, and applications of unmanned aerial vehicles. It covers the basics, including definitions, attributes, manned vs. unmanned, design considerations, life cycle costs, architecture, components, air vehicle, payload, communications, data link, and ground control stations. Chapters cover types and civilian roles, sensors and characteristics, alternative power, communications and data links, conceptual design, human machine interface, sense and avoid systems, civil airspace issues and integration efforts, navigation, autonomous control, swarming, and future capabilities.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This graduate text also suits software developers in computational mechanics. It explores the numerical algorithms underpinning finite element software, covering all the major numerical methods used in computational mechanics. It runs from the basics of linear algebra and matrix theory to advanced topics, illustrated with numerical examples.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Geothermal energy stands out because it can be used as a baseload resource. This book, unlike others, examines the geology related to geothermal applications. Geology dictates (a) how geothermal resources can be found, (b) the nature of the geothermal resource (such as liquid- or vapor-dominated) and (c) how the resource might be developed ultimately (such as flash or binary geothermal plants). The compilation and distillation of geological elements of geothermal systems into a single reference fills a notable gap.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The growing mobility needs of travellers have led to the development of increasingly complex and integrated multi-modal transit networks. A pre-condition for the development of an effective multi-modal transit system is the integration of ICT tools that will support the needs of transit operators and travellers. To achieve this, reliable real-time simulation and short-term forecasting of passenger demand and service network conditions are required to provide both real-time traveller information and synchronised transit service planning and operations control. Modelling Intelligent Multi-Modal Transit Systems introduces the current trends in this newly emerging area.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Regulatory agencies worldwide have issued directives or such requirements for air quality standards in embryology laboratories. This practical guide reviews the application of clean room technology or controlled environments specifically suited for Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Units. Its comprehensive coverage includes material on airborne particles and volatile organic compounds, including basic concepts, regulation, construction, materials, certification, clinical results in humans, and more.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Public Transport Planning with Smart Card Data handles three major topics: how passenger behaviour can be estimated using smart card data, how smart card data can be combined with other trip databases, and how the public transport service level can be better evaluated if smart card data is available. The book discusses theory as well as applications from cities around the world and will be of interest to researchers and practitioners alike who are interested in the state-of-the-art as well as future perspectives that smart card data will bring.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This volume describes the theory and methods of environmental risk assessment, the use of environmental effect, fate and hazard information in risk management of chemicals and contaminated land, explains why an integrated assessment is needed both for the risk of chemicals and polluted sites. Efficient tools such as early warning and environmental monitoring with special sensors, or in situ measurements and decision making, modeling and mapping are discussed in details. A nanotechnology method, using the special molecule of cyclodextrin, is introduced as a versatile tool in environmental assessment and monitoring.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book highlights the significance of the plant sources of serotonin and melatonin in the fields of medicine, agriculture and food science.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The genomes of many individuals can be assembled and analyzed using convenient and widely available computer programs running on every desktop or laptop computer. This rapid development has resulted in an entirely new sub-discipline of evolutionary biology called 'phylogenomics,' the integration of phylogenetic sequencing data and analyses implemented using entire genomes. This book introduces the principles and practices of phylogenomics, making it available to a broad cross-section of evolutionary biologists, systematists, organismal biologists, conservationists, and ecologists.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Cannabis sativa is best known as the plant source of marijuana, the world's most widely consumed illicit recreational drug. However, it is also extremely useful as a source of stem fiber, edible seed oil, and medicinal compounds, all of which are undergoing extraordinarily promising research, technological applications, and business investment. This book is a comprehensive reference reviewing, analyzing, and summarizing botanical, horticultural, genetic, ecological, chemical, medical, historical, sociological, legal and business considerations that are critical for the wise advancement and management of cannabis.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The purpose of this book is to enhance communication between the two different fields of business: technology versus health and social care. Through this, the aim is to promote new innovations. This book provides information about various technologies to people working in the care sector. It also presents vital information to the technology developers regarding the real needs for technology, as well as the requirements that need to be taken into consideration. This book will be useful for engineers developing well-being-related systems, software, or devices; for people working with people with specialist needs; for well-being and health service provides as well as for educators teaching related courses; and for upper-level undergraduate students and graduate students studying related topics.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The main aim of this book is to introduce the concept of photonic information processing technologies to the graduate and post-graduate students, researchers, engineers and scientists. It is expected to give the readers an insight into the concepts of photonic techniques of processing as a system, the photonic devices as required components which are applied in the areas of communication, computation and intelligent pattern recognition.
