A new, comprehensive review of the radiographic examination of the post-operative GI tract. Operative techniques and normal post-operative anatomy are depicted with many schematic line drawings. Normal changes, as well as early and late complications are discussed and abundantly illustrated.

This introduction to scientific ballooning thoroughly covers large stratospheric balloons, planetary balloons, and rubber balloons used for aerological observation. It also presents advanced design concepts for a larger super pressure balloon.

This guide for early diagnosis and treatment of ocular and cerebral diseases offers fifty years of research on the physiology of intraocular pressure and ocular blood flow and their relation to early diagnosis and therapy of vascular diseases of the eye and brain.

This volume shows how the dynamics of meso-structures and cultures are driven by macro- and micro-level forces pushing on individual and collective actors as they build corporate units and develop parameters defining membership in particular social categories.

The Sixth Edition continues the tradition of this great book by applying anatomic knowledge to state-of-the-art imaging. Chapters have been reorganized to help the reader better interpret imaging studies by clearly demonstrating what to expect and where to look for disease spread from each individual organ.

This book presents a detailed, practical guide for modern NGO diplomacy and negotiation. Its clearly developed steps, from team building to decision making and coalition building to cultural awareness, suggest opportunities for creating positive outcomes.

Drawing on positive psychology, flow studies and theories of motivation, this book conceptualizes engagement as a learning experience, explaining how it occurs (or fails to occur) and how schools can make adaptations to maximize it among adolescent students.

This compact introduction covers transient performance and stabilization via state or output feedback; disturbance attenuation and robust control; asymptotic regulation and disturbance rejection, Linear Matrix Inequalities and more. Includes MATLAB examples.

In its new edition, this book reviews the challenges facing quality assurance and control (QA/QC) in today's biopharmaceutical environment, putting into perspective the need for a graded approach to QA/QC from early clinical trials through market approval.

Its discovery has frequently been deemed the mathematical equivalent of finding Beethoven's tenth symphony.This volume is the fourth of five volumes that the authors plan to write on Ramanujan's lost notebook. In contrast to the first three books on Ramanujan's Lost Notebook, the fourth book does not focus on q-series.

Increasing system complexity has created a pressing need for better design tools and associated methodologies and languages for meeting the stringent time to market and cost constraints.

Provides the professional with an overview of current methodologies in the field, with emphasis on the implementation of current research.

Deals with quantum theory at an advanced algebraic level. This work features many structures, which allow the reader to better understand the applications of operational quantum theory, and to provide conceptually appropriate descriptions of the subject. It aims to understand more deeply what one is working with in nonrelativistic quantum theory.

Understandable by anyone concerned with crystals or solid state properties dependent on structurePresents a general system using simple notation to reveal similarities and differences among crystal structuresMore than 300 selected and prepared figures illustrate structures found in thousands of compounds

Uses a biopsychosocial approach to assessment and management of GI disorders in childrenIncludes a section of clinical case studies that includes common patient and family questions and answers

Here is an overview of fluid flow and heat exchange, treating fluids broadly including flows in packed beds and fluidized beds. Summarizes equations of heat transfer, including the challenge of getting heat from here to there and from one stream to another.

This book addresses the emerging technology for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) and WiMax, the technology that enables wireless users to communicate at any time from any location without having to find a WiFi hotspot.

Statistical Methods for Dynamic Treatment Regimes shares state of the art of statistical methods developed to address questions of estimation and inference for dynamic treatment regimes, a branch of personalized medicine.

This book presents the basis of Poincare plot and focus especially on traditional and new methods for analysing the geometry, temporal and spatial dynamics disclosed by the Poincare plot to evaluate heart rate variability (HRV).

This introduction provides an overview of the theory and practice of GPS receivers. Readers will learn the fundamentals, in addition to the design of custom, industry standard, and JPL/NASA GPS receivers.

This detailed development of the theory of noise mechanisms and measurements also covers general noise characteristics and relevant computational methods. The monograph uses underlying theory and key results to summarize the vast ambient noise literature.

Focusing on an evolving and ever more popular field, this workbook provides the hands-on experience which has been lacking for qualified bioinformatics researchers. Instead of delving in depth, a broad but necessary overview is provided for each topic.

The updated and expanded 3rd edition of Statistics in Criminal Justice introduces basic statistics and statistical concepts, tailored to the real world of crime and justice, with each chapter building in sophistication to prepare for the concepts that follow.

This concise, up-to-date textbook is designed for the standard sophomore course in differential equations. The basic ideas, models, and solution methods are presented in a user friendly format that is accessible to engineers, scientists, economists, and mathematics majors.

The authors of this book are pioneers of the passive, integrative sampling approach and developers of globally applied semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs). The book will boost understanding of how passive samplers such as SPMD function by examining basic exchange processes that mediate the concentration of SVOCs in a sampling matrix.

Algebra is abstract mathematics - let us make no bones about it - yet it is also applied mathematics in its best and purest form. Algebra emerged from the struggle to solve concrete, physical problems in geometry, and succeeded after 2000 years of failure by other forms of mathematics.

" Introduction to Wine Laboratory Practices and Procedures was written for the multitude of people entering the wine industry and those that wish to learn about wine chemistry and enology.
