Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Congenital Diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) occurs in approximately 1 in every 2,500 births and the cause is yet unknown. In CDH the diaphragm fails to form correctly, allowing herniation of the abdominal contents into the thoracic cavity and results in pulmonary hypolplasia. This book describes the embryology, genetics, antenatal diagnosis, management, associated congenital anomalies and long-term outcomes of children with CDH. It is a valuable up-to-date reference for pediatricians, neonatologists and allied health professionals who care for children with CDH.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 192 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Linear algebra occupies a central place in modern mathematics. Also, it is a beautiful and mature field of mathematics, and mathematicians have developed highly effective methods for solving its problems. It is a subject well worth studying for its own sake. This book contains selected topics in linear algebra, which represent the recent contributions in the most famous and widely problems. It includes a wide range of theorems and applications in different branches of linear algebra, such as linear systems, matrices, operators, inequalities, etc. It continues to be a definitive resource for researchers, scientists and graduate students.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 264 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Magnesium alloys have been attractive to designers due to their low density (two thirds that of aluminium), the sixth most abundant on earth, is ductile and the most machinable of all the metals. This has been a major factor in the widespread use of magnesium alloy castings and wrought products, powder metallurgy components, sacrificial anodes for the protection of other metals, tools. The present book, 'New Features on Magnesium Alloys', gives us an overview in some special areas of magnesium alloys concerning technological applications and eco-friendly requirements. Each chapter brings us a new facet relating to the magnesium alloy application: magnesium alloys quasicrystals used to magnesium alloys reinforcement; rare earth metals as alloying components in magnesium implants for orthopaedic applications; magnesium alloys surface treatment by applying physical vapor deposition processes; casting magnesium alloys subjected to laser treatment; ductility enhancement on special magnesium alloys; welding and joining processing of magnesium alloys; transport application of magnesium and its alloys.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 188 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This up-to-the-minute work is set against the backdrop of remarkable advances in Neonatal care. Including selected updates of contemporary issues concerning basic research and clinical practice, the present book investigates pathogenetic mechanisms implicated in fetal brain injury, sleep apnea, as well as covering the field of neonatal gastroenterology and nutrition care. It stimulates further research by fully acquainting the reader with the current knowledge and future perspectives in the sphere of an epidemiologic study for low birthweight, and the introduction of an effective, evidence-based innovational newborn program of care. Multidisciplinary specialists in Neonatology will find this book to be an essential resource, fundamental for a successful neonatal outcome.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 134 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book pretends to bring the state-of-art research results on advanced control from both the theoretical and practical perspectives. The fundamental and advanced research results as well as the contributions in terms of the technical evolution of control theory are of particular interest. This book can serve as a bridge between people who are working on the theoretical and practical research on control theory, and facilitate the proposal of development of new control techniques and its applications. In addition, this book presents educational importance to help students and researchers to know the frontiers of the control technology.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 292 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book contains 15 chapters reporting air pollution of interest to experts in academia and industrial plants dealing with the environmental issues. These chapters emphasize the problems of air pollution involving the human sector as an essential part in the control of air pollutants. The book contains an analysis of various geographic regions and evaluation of different activities related to these areas. Descriptive analyzes present the generation of air pollution and its effect on society and materials evaluations. The major sources of emission of pollutants and the damage that they originate in the towns and industrial plants are reported. This volume provides methods and tools for assessment according to each location. Other important aspects are the activities of governmental authorities, the academic and sectors for solving the environment problem.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 338 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book is devoted to different aspects of tectonic researches, especially to modern geodynamic processes. Syntheses of recent and earlier works, combined with new results and interpretations, are presented here for diverse tectonic settings. Most of chapters include up-to-date materials of detailed geological-geophysical investigations, which can help more clearly understand the essence of mechanisms of different tectonic processes. Among general problems of tectonics are discussed processes in axes of slow-spreading mid-ocean ridges on example of central part of Mid-Atlantic Ridge and in continental collision zones. Formation of sedimentary basins are considered on examples of Niger Delta, Triassic Cuyana Basin (Argentina), and Mesozoic and Cenozoic basins of the Alpine margin (Tunisia); neotectonic processes examined in Turkey and Morocco; tectonic evolution of the southern margin of Laurasia in the Paleozoic discussed as well as interrelation of western Troms-Lofoten and the Lewisian complexes in the Midle Paleoproterozoic.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 348 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Pesticides are considered as potential molecules to combat insects, pests, diseases and weeds in agricultural, horticultural cropping system as well as health management systems. Pesticides of chemical origin are highly effective against the target organism. However, the chemical pesticides have toxic effects on several non-target species and the growing environmental concerns raises the issues of safety and evaluation of toxicity. In this book the effects of chemical pesticides on fishes, earthworms, beneficial microbes and natural enemies in agricultural ecosystems are discussed. Furthermore, pesticides have the properties to disrupt endocrine and non-traditional pesticide compounds have been elaborately narrated. The recent technology on use of biomarkers in pesticide assay is described in two chapters. Some of plants having pesticidally active compounds are described. Use of biotechnological approaches for insect pest management and a new approach to recognize larva in the field by LIRA classifier system are two more interesting chapters of the book.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 396 pp. Englisch.
