Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - If you understand how drugs work (pharmacodynamics), how they are handled by the body (pharmacokinetics), how they interact with each other, and how drug treatments are assessed, then you will become a better prescriber. A Textbook of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics gives you that understanding.Fully revised throughout and extensively illustrated, the fifth edition of this well-established textbook has been streamlined to focus on what medical students and junior doctors really need to know in order to understand the implications of prescribing one drug over, or in combination with, another. The text provides current information on all areas of drug prescribing with updated discussion and guidance on such topics as adverse drug reactions, 'personalized medicine', gene and cell-based therapy, advances in cancer therapy, and mechanisms of drug action and treatment guidelines in HIV and mycobacterial infections therapy. A new chapter on alternative medicines and nutraceuticals has been introduced and Further Reading lists have been updated to include key medical websites.All medical students and junior doctors who read this book will learn not only how to use drugs safely and effectively, but, importantly, the rationale behind effective prescribing decisions.…

Kombiprodukt. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Integrating interesting and widely used concepts of financial engineering into traditional statistics courses, Introduction to Probability and Statistics for Science, Engineering, and Finance illustrates the role and scope of statistics and probability in various fields.The text first introduces the basics needed to understand and create tables and graphs produced by standard statistical software packages, such as Minitab, SAS, and JMP. It then takes students through the traditional topics of a first course in statistics. Novel features include: - Applications of standard statistical concepts and methods to the analysis and interpretation of financial data, such as risks and returns- Cox-Ross-Rubinstein (CRR) model, also called the binomial lattice model, of stock price fluctuations- An application of the central limit theorem to the CRR model that yields the lognormal distribution for stock prices and the famous Black-Scholes option pricing formula- An introduction to modern portfolio theory- Mean-standard deviation diagram of a collection of portfolios- Computing a stock's betavia simple linear regressionAs soon as he develops the statistical concepts, the author presents applications to engineering, such as queuing theory, reliability theory, and acceptance sampling; computer science; public health; and finance. Using both statistical software packages and scientific calculators, he reinforces fundamental concepts with numerous examples.…

Kombiprodukt. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Internationally, much attention is given to causes, prevention, and rehabilitation of cracking in concrete, flexible, and composite pavements. The Sixth RILEMInternational Conference on Cracking in Pavements (Chicago, June 16-18, 2008) provided a forum for discussion of recent developments and research results.This book is a collection of papers from the Conference, and includes contributions on a variety of topics:- Modeling of the initiation and propagation of pavement cracking- Top-down and bottom-up fatigue cracking mechanisms- Laboratory testing techniques and evaluation effectiveness- Construction approaches and their relation to crack development- Crack surveys and nondestructive evaluation- In-situ experimental studies: field construction and rehabilitation techniques to inhibit pavement cracking- Performance of crack preventative techniques and pavement service life prediction- Interlay system effectiveness- Pavement cracking evaluation using accelerated pavement testing- Hot-mix asphalt overlay characterization- Pavement interface modeling and testing- Laboratory and field model validation- Low-temperature cracking mechanisms and field studies- Cracking in semi-rigid and stabilized pavement layers- Analytical and experimental investigations of concrete joints- White topping performancePavement Cracking: Mechanisms, Modeling, Detection, Testing, and Case Histories is particularly of interest to academics, researchers, andpractitioners involved in pavement mechanics and performance.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Focusing on the unresolved debate between Newton and Huygens from 300 years ago, The Nature of Light: What is a Photon discusses the reality behind enigmatic photons. It explores the fundamental issues pertaining to light that still exist today. Gathering contributions from globally recognized specialists in electrodynamics and quantum optics, the book begins by clearly presenting the mainstream view of the nature of light and photons. It then provides a new and challenging scientific epistemology that explains how to overcome the prevailing paradoxes and confusions arising from the accepted definition of a photon as a monochromatic Fourier mode of the vacuum. The book concludes with an array of experiments that demonstrate the innovative thinking needed to examine the wave-particle duality of photons. Looking at photons from both mainstream and out-of-box viewpoints, this volume is sure to inspire the next generation of quantum optics scientists and engineers to go beyond the Copenhagen interpretation and formulate new conceptual ideas about light-matter interactions and substantiate them through inventive applications. 452 pp. Englisch.…
