Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Hubble Space Telescope is one of the most important scientific and engineering endeavors of our time. It has given humankind the first truly clear view of the heavens and has revolutionized almost every area of modern astronomy. The author of this text, David Leckrone, worked as a project scientist on Hubble for 33 years. From 1992-2009 he was the Senior Project Scientist for Hubble at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. In that role he had an insider's view of the trials and triumphs of the Hubble mission, including its extraordinary scientific discoveries and the personal journeys of the astronomers who made them, the adventure of five successful shuttle-based servicing missions, and the quiet heroism of the many scientists, engineers and managers who rose to the occasion when Hubble was in trouble. This book is loosely a personal memoir but can more accurately be called a 'Hubble family memoir' for which Leckrone serves as narrator. Based on numerous interviews and personal observations, Life With Hubble tells the human stories and describes the professional achievements of scores of talented and dedicated individuals who made major contributions to the Hubble legacy. It spans the years from 1990, when Hubble was launched and when the affliction of spherical aberration was discovered in its optics, through the final servicing mission in 2009 and up to the present day. There are also numerous flashbacks from earlier years. This book is aimed at an informed, non-professional audience, including those who have followed the saga of Hubble throughout its lifetime.Key Features - Gives an informed, behind the scenes narrative, telling an interesting and historically important story - Aimed at both a general audience, and interested members of the astronomical community - Gives cogent, understandable scientific explanations - Well illustrated with historically relevant photos and Hubble imagery - Based on extensive recorded interviews with key scientists and engineers. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Leadership and Challenges in Medical Physics: A Strategic and Robust Approach aims to help present aspiring future medical physics leaders with effective, strategic and robust leadership skills in a world dominated by austerity economics, inter-professional competition and sometimes unchecked commoditization.Chapters are dedicated to healthy leadership and leadership styles, organizational politics, organizational psychology and negotiating skills. A compendium of SWOT themes provides leaders with a ready resource of possible ideas to trigger initial SWOT brainstorming and discussions when developing strategic plans with their own group or team. In addition, the script is peppered with reflection/discussion points or case studies to promote a systematic and well-thought out approach to strategic planning.Medical physicists working in the clinical environment undergo a structured education and training programs to keep on track with the fast progress of technological development in their field. Medical physicists feel that these programs provide little experience in how to deal with the real-world issues facing them when they move from the relative security of their academic physics departments to the realities of modern, multi-professional healthcare systems.This book guides a professional medical physicist to become a strategic and robust leader, emphasizing that a people-oriented approach to leadership is crucial for team motivation and stressing the difference between leadership and management. It is divided into 10 chapters to narrate various aspects of leadership and its influence on growth and recognition of the profession. The text is laced with reflection/discussion points or case studies to promote a systematic and well-thought-out approach to strategic planning. I agree with the point of view of the author that no book will turn someone into a leader-ultimately a person has to make oneself a leader! The book is recommended for medical physicists, postgraduate students and educators in health professions.Reva Garg 2021 Optics and Photonics News, The Optical Society.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book is the first of its kind to cover the underlying principles and biomedical applications of thermoacoustic tomography (TAT). Written in a tutorial format, it describes the fundamentals of TAT; details advanced approaches for quantitative TAT; explores the development of several image enhancing schemes including both software and hardware approaches; examines array-based TAT systems; considers high-resolution TAT approaches and combinations of TAT with other imaging methods; addresses contrast agent-based molecular TAT; and discusses clinical applications and animal studies in the areas of brain, breast, joint, thyroid, liver and vascular imaging. It is a valuable resource for students, academics, and industry specialists, including biomedical engineers, electrical engineers, physicists and mathematicians.Key Features - The first authored (not-edited) book on nanoscale energy transport - Principles and applications are emphasized - Full coverage of all key topics - Written by a leading researcher who's pioneering contributions have help helped develop the field.…
