Requiring no previous knowledge of physics, biology, or chemistry and keeping maths to a minimum, this bestselling textbook adheres to simple and self-contained explanations that make use of examples and illustrations, giving students an introduction to physics in modern medicine.
The book covers all stages of process plant projects from initiation to completion and handover by describing the roles and actions of all functions involved. It discusses engineering, procurement, construction, project management, contract administration, project control and HSE, with reference to international contracting and business practices.
Introductory Organic Chemistry helps students by teaching organic chemistry based on the broader and simplified use of quantum chemistry theories. Presentation of these topics will also help students to apply physical chemistry concepts (of thermodynamics and quantum chemistry) to organic chemistry and show how they are interrelated.
Over the last fifteen years, the face of knot theory has changed due to various new theories and invariants coming from physics, topology, combinatorics and alge-bra. It suffices to mention the great progress in knot homology theory (Khovanov homology and Ozsvath-Szabo Heegaard-Floer homology), the A-polynomial which give rise to strong invariants of knots and 3-manifolds, in particular, many new unknot detectors. New to this Edition is a discussion of Heegaard-Floer homology theory and A-polynomial of classical links, as well as updates throughout the text.
Knot Theory, Second Edition is notable not only for its expert presentation of knot theory's state of the art but also for its accessibility. It is valuable as a profes-sional reference and will serve equally
This book looks at how the Kurdish and Iraqi quests for nationhood have led to the transformation of Iraqi Kurdistan into an unrecognised quasi-state, and the devolution of the Iraqi state into a recognised quasi-state.
A publication of the French Society of Microscopies, this book is devoted to an important aspect of electron diffraction. The description of convergent-beam electron diffraction and of LACBED is preceded by several preparatory chapters, in which the principles of diffraction and the nature of electron-matter interactions are clearly set out.
Developments in and applications of laser spectroscopy and laser imaging are growing rapidly. This book is a concise collection of laser analysis and imaging techniques, providing a solid overview of the field.
Certain small solid particles are surface-active at fluid interfaces and thus are able to stabilize materials previously considered impossible to stabilize. Liquid marbles, particle-coated non-sticking liquid droplets, is one of these materials. This book discusses the principles, properties, and numerous applications of liquid marbles.

In many developing countries the exponentially growing electricity demand can be covered by using locally available, sustainable low-enthalpy geothermal resources (80-150 DegreesC). Such low-enthalpy sources can make electricity generation more independent from oil imports or from the over-dependence on hydropower. Until now this huge energy resource has only been used by some developed countries like the USA, Iceland and New Zealand.
The reason why low-enthalpy geothermal resources are not used for electricity generation is that there is still a misconception that low-enthalpy thermal fluids are fit only for direct application. The advancement of drilling technology, development of efficient heat exchangers and deployment of high sensitive binary fluids
This book offers an in-depth understanding of the management and operation of a lubricant blending plant.. It describes the different types of equipment used to blend lubricants, provides guidance on how best to use this equipment, and offers tips to avoid problems.
There are few fields in which approaches to therapy are changing so rapidly and controversy is so rampant as in the treatment of the menopause. The previous editions of The Management of the Menopause were benchmark publications and the Third Edition lives up to that standard. Leading experts contribute detailed reviews and analyses of the most controversial and important issues in the field.
The world of pharmacy management is changing rapidly. Reflecting this, Managing Pharmacy Practice: Principles, Strategies, and Systems takes a new approach to pharmacy management. The editor explores basic management principles and their role in pharmacy practice. Expert contributors discuss concepts such as social influence, professionalism, leadership, conflict management, and personnel management and how they apply to modern pharmacy in an age of changing consumer and employee habits, desires, and behaviors. Highlighting the growing impact of technology throughout pharmacy and healthcare, the book prepares students for the challenges they will face in this rapidly changing profession.
This book presents current methods for determining the impact of pollutants on the biosystem and enzymes, instrumentation, and statistical methods. Encompassing the breadth and depth of the field, this book explores analytical methods for determining physical, chemical, biological, and microbiological characteristics of water, waste water, soil, plant material, and air as well as plant and animal communities. Including sampling, instrumentation, and monitoring methods, the book facilitates analysis for a wide range of chemical pollutants. Topics include bioassays, environmental radioactivity, biomonitoring, environmental impact assessment/auditing, and indoor air and noise pollution.
