Practical Neonatal Endocrinology

Amanda Ogilvy-Stuart , Paula Midgley, " Practical Neonatal Endocrinology"
Cambridge University Press; 1 edition (August 7, 2006) | ISBN: 0521838495 | 228 pages | PDF | 1,2 Mb

This handbook of neonatal endocrinology provides a wealth of practical information on the diagnosis and management of suspected endocrine pathology. Interpretation of endocrine function in the newborn period can be difficult because of the transition following hormonal influences of the mother and placenta. The situation is even more complex in infants born prematurely. The unique format presented here is clinically orientated from presentation, diagnosis and management, including immediate, medium and long-term. It clearly explains and describes how and when samples should be taken, order of priority, sample volumes required, length of time one can expect before results are available and normal values. This book gives guidance as to what to tell parents, providing addresses of support groups. This is very much a practical 'hands-on, how-to' approach with flow-charts. It also provides a formulary and investigation methodology section and a brief description of physiology.

The Equations of Oceanic Motions

Peter Müller , "The Equations of Oceanic Motions"
Cambridge University Press (October 9, 2006) | ISBN: 0521855136 | 302 pages | PDF | 1,4 Mb

Modelling and prediction of oceanographic phenomena and climate is based on the integration of dynamic equations. The Equations of Oceanic Motions derives and systematically classifies the most common dynamic equations used in physical oceanography, from large scale thermohaline circulations to those governing small scale motions and turbulence. After establishing the basic dynamical equations that describe all oceanic motions, Müller then derives approximate equations, emphasizing the assumptions made and physical processes eliminated. He distinguishes between geometric, thermodynamic and dynamic approximations and between the acoustic, gravity, vortical and temperature-salinity modes of motion. Basic concepts and formulae of equilibrium thermodynamics, vector and tensor calculus, curvilinear coordinate systems, and the kinematics of fluid motion and wave propagation are covered in appendices. Providing the basic theoretical background for graduate students and researchers of physical oceanography and climate science, this book will serve as both a comprehensive text and an essential reference.

Lean Evolution Lessons from the Workplace

Nick Rich , Nicola Bateman, Ann Esain, Lynn Massey, Donna Samuel, "Lean Evolution Lessons from the Workplace"
Cambridge University Press (September 4, 2006) | ISBN: 0521843448 | 226 pages | PDF | 1,3 Mb

Lean thinking is a powerful method that allows organizations to improve the productivity, efficiency, and quality of their products or services. Achieving these benefits requires good teamwork, clear communication, intelligent use of resources, and a commitment to continuous improvement. This book shows how lean thinking can be applied in practice, highlighting the key challenges and pitfalls. The authors, based at a leading centre for lean enterprise research, begin with an overview of the theory of lean thinking. They then explain the core tools and techniques and show how they can be applied successfully. The detailed implementation of lean thinking is illustrated by several case studies, from a range of industries, in which the authors had unprecedented access to the management teams. With its focus on implementation and practical solutions, this book will appeal to managers at all levels, as well as to business students and researchers in lean thinking.

Cisco IOS in a Nutshell

James Boney,«Cisco IOS in a Nutshell»
O'Reilly | ISBN: 0596008694 | CHM | 1,75 mb | 796 Pages | 2005 Year

Cisco routers are everywhere that networks are. They come in all sizes, from inexpensive units for homes and small offices to equipment costing well over $100,000 and capable of routing at gigabit speeds. A fixture in today's networks, Cisco claims roughly 70% of the router market, producing high-end switches, hubs, and other network hardware. One unifying thread runs through the product line: virtually all of Cisco's products run the Internetwork Operating System, or IOS.

Quantitative Thermochronology: Numerical Methods for the Interpretation of Thermochronological Data

Jean Braun, Peter van der Beek, Geoffrey Batt , "Quantitative Thermochronology: Numerical Methods for the Interpretation of Thermochronological Data"
Cambridge University Press (May 22, 2006) | ISBN: 0521830575 | 270 pages | PDF | 2,1 Mb

Thermochronology, the study of the thermal history of rocks, enables us to quantify the nature and timing of tectonic processes. Quantitative Thermochronology is a robust review of isotopic ages, and presents a range of numerical modeling techniques to allow the physical implications of isotopic age data to be explored. The authors provide analytical, semi-analytical, and numerical solutions to the heat transfer equation in a range of tectonic settings and under varying boundary conditions. They then illustrate their modeling approach built around a large number of case studies. The benefits of different thermochronological techniques are also described. Computer programs on an accompanying website at www.cambridge.org/9780521830577 are introduced through the text and provide a means of solving the heat transport equation in the deforming Earth to predict the ages of rocks and compare them directly to geological and geochronological data. Several short tutorials, with hints and solutions, are also included.
