Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book provides comprehensive coverage of the three major classes of ordered regression models (cumulative, stage, and adjacent) as well as variations based on the application of the parallel regression assumption. It explores the advantages of ordered regression models over linear and binary regression models for the analysis of ordinal outcomes. The book also highlights several ways to interpret and present the results by using empirical examples from the social and behavioral sciences.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Written by prominent members of the Obesity Medicine Association and a multidisciplinary team of clinicians and researchers, this book presents a wide spectrum of practical treatment protocols for obesity including exercise, pharmacology, behavior modification, and dietary factors, from the point of view of the practicing physician. The book includes information about the new pharmacotherapy available for the treatment of obesity. It also includes a chapter on medical treatment of pediatric obesity that identifies the special needs of children and outlines approaches for managing the obese child. A chapter on binge eating disorder has been added, and the information on pharmacology of bariatric medicine has been updated.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book explores how econometric modelling can be used to provide valuable insight into international housing markets.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Dating back to the early Cambrian period, crustaceans had ample time to undertake endless experimentation with form and function. Today, no other group of plants or animals on the planet exhibit the range of morphological diversity seen among extant Crustacea. With more than 52,000 species, they are placed fourth in terms of overall species diversity. This book comprehensively elucidates the reproduction and development of all the taxonomic groups of Crustacea and bridges the gap between conventional zoologists and molecular biologists. Reproductive modes from the point of embryonic stem cells and primordial germ cells is discussed with a special section on cysts.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book explores fundamental recognition principles between monomers or macromolecules that lead to diverse biological functions. Based on the author's longtime courses, the book helps readers understand the structural aspects of macromolecular recognition and stimulates further research on whether molecules similar to DNA or protein can be synthesized chemically. The author discusses different macromolecular recognitions and covers the energetics of folding of macromolecules. He also provides citations for recent experiments and includes defined chemical structures and well-explained figures.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book presents an exhaustive compilation of the anti-diabetes mellitus activities of more than 1000 plants occurring worldwide. A brief botanical description, distribution, pharmacological properties, and phytochemicals are provided, where appropriate. A list of traditional medicinal plants used to treat diabetes, but not tested for anti-diabetic activity, is also given. Highlighted are anti-diabetes mellitus plant foods along with a list of the edible parts of plants with anti-diabetes mellitus properties. Anti-diabetes mellitus nutraceuticals are described with guidelines for the development of food supplements and formulations of diets appropriate for diabetic patients.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Rock Dynamics: From Research to Engineering will serve as a must-have reference, presenting the results of recent developments in rock dynamics scientic research and rock dynamics engineering applications.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This handbook collects the latest information about various imaging and therapeutic technologies used in preclinical research into a single source. It provides practical details on animal ethics, models, and handling to assist researchers in planning and executing their small animal imaging studies. The book also explains how to measure and quantify images and explores a broad spectrum of disease types and disease sites where small animal imaging and therapy are currently applied, including cardiovascular disease and intracellular targets.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book offers balanced coverage of theoretical, computational, and experimental fluid dynamics. Each chapter introduces a different topic, discusses the pertinent issues, outlines proven techniques for addressing those issues, and supplies references for further research. Covering all major aspects of classical and modern fluid dynamics, the second edition includes the latest research and engineering applications, new sections on emerging fields, new experimental methods, more numerical approaches, and additional applications. This text provides an indispensable resource for those entering and seeking familiarization with the field.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Dynamics is increasingly being identified by consulting engineers as one of the key skills which needs to be taught in civil engineering degree programs. This is driven by the trend towards lighter, more vibration-prone structures, the growth of business in earthquake regions, the identification of new threats such as terrorist attack and the increased availability of sophisticated dynamic analysis tools.Martin Williams presents this short, accessible introduction to the area of structural dynamics. He begins by describing dynamic systems and their representation for analytical purposes. The two main chapters deal with linear analysis of single (SDOF) and multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems, under free vibration and in response to a variety of forcing functions. Hand analysis of continuous systems is covered briefly to illustrate the key principles. Methods of calculation of non-linear dynamic response is also discussed. Lastly, the key principles of random vibration analysis are presented - this approach is crucial for wind engineering and is increasingly important for other load cases. An appendix briefly summarizes relevant mathematical techniques. Extensive use is made of worked examples, mostly drawn from civil engineering (though not exclusively - there is considerable benefit to be gained from emphasizing the commonality with other branches of engineering). This introductory dynamics textbook is aimed at upper level civil engineering undergraduates and those starting an M.Sc. course in the area. 284 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a global phenomenon which is gaining significant momentum across the world. Currently there is little information on how to realise and monitor benefits from implementing BIM across the life-cycle of a built environment asset. This book provides a practical and strategic framework to realise value from implementing BIM by adapting Benefit Realisation Management theory. It presents an approach for practitioners aiming to implement BIM across the life-cycle of built environment assets, including both buildings and infrastructure.Additionally, the book features:wide-ranging information about BIM, the challenges of monitoring progress towards benefit goals and the greater context of implementation; a set of dictionaries that illustrate: how benefits can be achieved, what the benefit flows are and the enabling tools and processes that contribute to achieving and maximising them; a suite of measures that can serve to monitor progress with examples of how they have been used to measure benefits from BIM; real-world examples from across the world and life-cycle phases that show how these benefits can be achieved; and information on international maturity and competency measures to complement the value realisation framework. Including a blend of academic and industry input, this book has been developed in close collaborative consultation with industry, government and international research organisations and could be used for industry courses on BIM benefits and implementation for asset management or by universities that teach BIM-related courses. 346 pp. Englisch.
