Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - More clinics and large practices are investing in Computed Tomography (CT) equipment, meaning veterinary surgeons are often confronted with unfamiliar technical challenges like positioning and handling of the equipment. Even after obtaining the CT images, the interpretation can often be confusing, particularly when surgeons are not used to reading axial and transverse images.Split into two parts, looking first at the principles of CT and then drilling down to specific procedures by body region, this book is packed with over 200 high quality images, practical protocols and easy-to-locate information. It provides much needed support in choosing the right equipment, providing the exact protocol and coming to a final diagnosis.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book explores the remarkable journeys that ducks, geese, and swans undertake each year in search of suitable migratory stopover and wintering habitats. It delves into the seasonal challenges that dictate the lives of waterfowl, highlighting their mobility, evolved behaviors, and nutritional strategies that allow them to be successful in an ever-changing world. The narrative combines scientific insights with field observations, offering a detailed understanding of the remarkable adaptations of this heavily studied group of birds and the conservation efforts undertaken to ensure their sustainability.The book discusses the major migratory routes in North America, such as the Atlantic, Mississippi, Central, and Pacific Flyways, and how waterfowl rely on diverse wetlands and anthropogenically influenced landscapes as critical habitat. The importance of these habitats for feeding and resting is emphasized, as is the growing pressure from habitat loss and climate change.In addition, the book examines the unique behaviors of waterfowl during the non-breeding period. It shows that wintering areas are not just endpoints of migration but vital ecosystems where birds prepare for the next breeding cycle. The book also explains current conservation efforts aimed at non-breeding habitats, with a final chapter on future challenges and opportunities for waterfowl conservation.Overall, the book serves as a thoroughly researched synthesis of our historical and contemporary understanding of waterfowl as a group of species that have captivated humans for centuries and motivated unmatched levels of conservation investment. By weaving information on movement patterns, behaviors, habitat use, nutritional requirements, survival, and management strategies to address current and future threats, it underscores the interconnectedness of landscapes and the urgent need to protect them. Readers are left with a greater appreciation for the complexity of waterfowl during the nonbreeding period and the challenges waterfowl face in an increasingly human-altered world. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Unlock the full potential of quantitative trading with Prescriptions for Quant Traders Using R-a practical, hands-on guide for turning data into trading decisions.This book is written for quantitative traders, financial analysts, and data scientists who want more than theory. Organized into ten structured parts, it delivers step-by-step 'prescriptions' using R-script-driven tasks that solve real-world trading problems. Each prescription is designed to be immediately actionable, so readers can move from concept to implementation without guesswork.What makes this book different is its clarity, utility, and its link to online video walk-throughs of R scripts. The text flows seamlessly without interruptions, yet a comprehensive bibliography ensures depth and rigor. Every chapter blends explanation with executable code, enabling traders to: - Design systematic trading strategies in R - and understand why they work. - Apply robust statistical and econometric methods to financial data for better predictions. - Evaluate risk and performance metrics to refine strategies with confidence. - Automate workflows so insights move faster from model to market. Whether you are a retail trader aiming to compete with professionals, a financial analyst seeking sharper models, or a data scientist expanding into trading, this book bridges the gap between theory and practice.Readers will find special value in the prescription-based approach. Just as a doctor prescribes remedies, these scripts deliver targeted solutions to trading challenges-from portfolio optimization and volatility forecasting to Bayesian inference and machine learning integration.In a marketplace where retail participation continues to grow, Prescriptions for Quant Traders Using R equips you with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to approach trading systematically.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Although veterinary professionals can now provide technologically sophisticated medical care for animals, every day they ask themselves questions that lie outside the realm of science. How do I overcome my dread of this hostile client How can I protect myself from moral stress What level of intervention is ethically appropriate for this patient What does professionalism mean for me While the work can be immensely rewarding, the veterinary sector can be very challenging. It is a world where clinical care is influenced and professionalism affected by multiple factors relating to colleagues, patients, animal caregivers and wider societal contexts. We deal every day with human problems that science alone can't solve.This book offers new ways to think about these issues through the emerging interdisciplinary field of veterinary humanities. It breaks new ground in bringing together insights from multiple academic perspectives - history, art, ethics, social sciences and many more - to think about veterinary topics in a new way through contributions from more than forty authors. Some are veterinary professionals with expertise in humanities and social science, others explore the veterinary world from a primary background in the humanities and social sciences. Addressing topics from across the veterinary sector, their writing ranges from deeply personal reflections to academic essays.FEATURES¿ 32 chapters by different authors with veterinary and/or humanities expertise¿ Linking sections that relate these contributions to overarching themes¿ UK-based scholarship with wider relevance¿ Structured to stimulate reflection and discussion, in university, in the workplace or anywhere people consider what it means to be involved in the veterinary world.This anthology will be particularly relevant to those training or working in the veterinary sector, whatever your role or level of experience. Other readers who are interested in animal welfare and human-animal relationships will also find it accessible, because the book assumes no clinical knowledge and offers no clinical guidance. It's a book about being human and working with animals, intended to help you think about what that means for you.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This is the seventh book in a set of ten published under the collective title of Foundations of Quantitative Finance. The targeted readers are students, researchers, and practitioners of quantitative finance who find that many sources for financial applications are written at a level assuming significant mathematical expertise.The goal for this series is to provide a complete and detailed development of the many foundational mathematical theories and results one finds referenced in popular resources in finance and quantitative finance. The included topics have been curated from vast mathematics and finance literature for the express purpose of supporting applications in quantitative finance. The hope is that this series will advance the reader's career.The series is logically sequential. Books I, III, and V develop foundational mathematical results needed for the probability theory and finance applications of Books II, IV, and VI, respectively. Books VII, VIII, and IX then develop results in the theory of stochastic processes, and Book X develops applications of these stochastic and other models to finance. All ten volumes are extensively self-referenced.Book VII introduces and develops properties of Brownian motion, arguably the most famous of stochastic processes, as well as two other classes of stochastic processes with properties enjoyed by Brownian motion, namely, Markov processes and martingales. Brownian motion is the central idea needed for most continuous time models in finance, and indeed most applications of stochastic processes. For some with more experience, this book will be the place to start in the series, while others will find Books I-VI provide a needed foundation.Published and forthcoming titles in the Robert R.
