Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the second edition of this reference, students will learn the critical skill of clinical decision-making by reading about real-life case scenarios along with a description of the course of action to follow and direct insight into the process. With brand new cases covering both typical and rare issues, the readers can learn from the successes and mistakes of their colleagues. The content is presented in a format following the elements of patient/client management from Guide to Physical Therapist Practice, 2nd Edition (]2001, APTA), the standard for physical therapy practice. Each example includes learning objectives, guiding questions, discussion, and references and corresponds to one or more of the four preferred practice patterns (Musculoskeletal, Neuromuscular, Cardiovascular/Pulmonary, and Integumentary) as outlined by the Guide. The variety in type of cases offered makes this resource appropriate for use with students over the span of a course as well as for clinicians wishing to work through more challenging patient scenarios.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Adoption of Bluetooth wireless technology has made great strides in the last few years. One of the biggest steps forward' the standardization of Java APIs for Bluetooth wireless technology (JABWT)' is explained in detail in this book. The JABWT standard, defined by the JSR-82 specification, supports rapid development of Bluetooth applications that are portable, secure, and highly-usable. Wireless device manufacturers have responded to the JABWT specification by announcing mobile phones and other products that will run JABWT applications. Bluetooth Application Programming with the Java APIs explains in detail how to write Bluetooth applications using the Java APIs to exploit the power of both technologies. Written by the specification lead for JSR-82 and two other key participants in the definition of JABWT, this book provides the authoritative explanations and concrete examples you need to get started right away.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The advent of high-speed, affordable computers in the last two decades has given a new boost to the nonparametric way of thinking. Classical nonparametric procedures, such as function smoothing, suddenly lost their abstract flavour as they became practically implementable. In addition, many previously unthinkable possibilities became mainstream; prime examples include the bootstrap and resampling methods, wavelets and nonlinear smoothers, graphical methods, data mining, bioinformatics, as well as the more recent algorithmic approaches such as bagging and boosting. This volume is a collection of short articles - most of which having a review component - describing the state-of-the art of Nonparametric Statistics at the beginning of a new millennium.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The term 'Stefan problem' is generally used for heat transfer problems with phase-changes. This book emphasises studies related to classical Stefan problems and reports the basic concepts and analysis of classical Stefan problems. It derives the modified Gibbs-Thomson relation on the basis of some thermodynamical and metallurgical considerations.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Decommissioning nuclear facilities is a relatively new field, which has developed rapidly in the last ten years. It involves materials that may be highly radioactive and therefore require sophisticated methods of containment and remote handling. The wastes arising from decommissioning are hazardous and have to be stored or disposed of safely in order to protect the environment and future generations. Nuclear decommissioning work must be carried out to the highest possible standards to protect workers, the general public and the environment. This book describes the techniques used for dismantling redundant nuclear facilities, the safe storage of radioactive wastes and the restoration of nuclear licensed sites.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Since the last publication of the Ernst and Young book on Tandem security in the early 90's, there has been no such book on the subject. We've taken on the task of supplying a new Handbook whose content provides current, generic information about securing HP NonStop servers. Emphasis is placed on explaining security risks and best practices relevant to NonStop environments, and how to deploy native security tools (Guardian and Safeguard). All third party vendors who supply security solutions relevant to NonStop servers are listed, along with contact information for each vendor. The Handbook is a source for critical information to NonStop professionals and NonStop security administrators in particular. However, it is written in such a way as to also be extremely useful to readers new to the NonStop platform and to information security. This handbook familiarizes auditors and those responsible for security configuration and monitoring with the aspects of the HP NonStop server operating system that make the NonStop Server unique, the security risks these aspects create, and the best ways to mitigate these risks.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Modal logics, originally conceived in philosophy, have recently found many applications in computer science, artificial intelligence, the foundations of mathematics, linguistics and other disciplines. Celebrated for their good computational behaviour, modal logics are used as effective formalisms for talking about time, space, knowledge, beliefs, actions, obligations, provability, etc. However, the nice computational properties can drastically change if we combine some of these formalisms into a many-dimensional system, say, to reason about knowledge bases developing in time or moving objects.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - There is rapid growth of the research and application area known as Lab-on-a-Chip. This book describes this technology that has revolutionized the world of chemical and biochemical analysis and synthesis. It contains a collection of papers on microtechnology, microfluidics, analytical methods and applications.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The area of stochastic programming was created in the middle of the last century, following fundamental achievements in linear and nonlinear programming. However, because of the inherent difficulty of stochastic optimization problems, it took a long time until efficient solution methods were developed. In the last two decades a dramatic change in our abilities to solve stochastic programming problems took place. This Handbook Volume brings together leading experts in the most important sub-fields of stochastic programming to present a rigorous overview of basic models, methods and applications of stochastic programming. The work is intended for researchers, students, engineers and economists, who encounter in their work optimization problems involving uncertainty. Important research volume for Management Scientists, Operations Researchers, Industrial Engineers, Econometricians, and Applied Mathematicians.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) has become the technique of choice for many areas of radiation dosimetry. The technique is finding widespread application in a variety of radiation dosimetry fields, including personal monitoring, environmental monitoring, retrospective dosimetry (including geological dating and accident dosimetry), space dosimetry, and many more. In this book we have attempted to synthesize the major advances in the field, covering both fundamental understanding and the many applications. The latter serve to demonstrate the success and popularity of OSL as a dosimetry method.
