Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Thisvolumehasitsbeginningsinalaboratoryproject,developmentofaradiolocator for the Wi-Fi network that was growing by leaps and bounds on the campus of Indiana University at that time. What started as a very focused and practical attempt to improve network management, touched in its lifetime upon broader issues of the use of radio spectrum, design of system architectures for the wireless medium, and image formation outside the limits of geometrical optics. Ihaveintendedthisbookmostlyfortheaudienceofengineersandsystemdesi- ers, in the growing eld of radio communication among small, portable, ubiquitous devices that have become hybrid platforms for personal communication and p- sonal computing. It is also a book addressed to network professionals, people to whom radio is largely a black box, a medium that they usually rely upon, but s- dom fully understand. In fact, in the course of my work in the eld, I have witnessed, to my dismay, a wide disconnect between the networking world and the radio technology that n- working has come to depend upon so heavily. Perhaps, because digital wireless communication is seen as digital rst and wireless second, there is often a m- placed emphasis on its information-processingside, with the methodologycentered around the discrete symbol, and with little intuition of the underlying physics. I had it once suggested to me, in apparent seriousness, to use radio cards for intra-system communication within a radiolocator! Wireless communication is radio, plain and simple.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 204 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -For nearly two decades, anesthesiologists and obstetricians have turned to this handbook as the definitive reference for obstetric anesthesia. Authoritative yet concise, it has been designed as a practical guide to all aspects of anesthesia for childbirth and related obstetric procedures, including perinatal pharmacology, relief of labor pain, fetal monitoring, anesthesia for cesarean delivery, high risk pregnancy, and in vitro fertilization.The fifth edition of Obstetric Anesthesia Handbook has been reorganized and revised to both update the content and help expedite the retrieval of the most pertinent information. New chapters include 'Pain of Labor and Delivery' and 'Effects of Epidural Analgesia on Labor and the Infant.' An appendix has been added that includes the most recent national guidelines for obstetric anesthesia. With numerous illustrations and tables, as well as updates regarding new medications and techniques, this esteemed handbook is more valuable than ever.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 488 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The field of minimally invasive spine intervention continues to evolve rapidly. Numerous changes and developments have been added to our tools and capabilities over the past decade. Image-Guided Spine Interventions, Second Edition, describes the v- ied and numerous tools that are available to the physicians who are involved in providing these procedures to appropriate patients. This book embraces clinical evaluation, pharmacological requirements, p- cedural recommendations, and a spectrum of procedures that will be of interest to the minimally invasive spine interventionalist. It covers a broad range of material that is presented by experts in each field, such as discography, percutaneous discectomy, vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty, epidural steroid injections, selective nerve root blocks, autonomic nerve blocks, spinal stimulator implantation, and spine v- cular intervention. This book will be useful to all physicians who deal with back pain, including pain anesthesiologists, spine neurosurgeons, orthopedists, and radiologists. Both editors have clinical practices devoted solely to spine pro- dures and pain management. This rewarding area has grown rapidly, and it provides great opportunities for clinical development as well as potential to aid a very needy patient population. We sincerely hope this work will be useful in helping our colleagues ¿ new and old ¿ establish, grow, and refine a minimally invasive spine interventional practice.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 416 pp. Englisch.
