Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A critical assessment of how public policy affects the health of immigrants, this interdisciplinary volume is an integral contribution to the study of immigration in modern developed nations. Authors employ a welfare state analysis to examine the political and economic systems that shape public policy, turning to several Canadian and international case studies that demonstrate how these policies specifically impact immigrant experiences and health outcomes. Exploring ideals of multiculturalism, solidarity, and equity, Dennis Raphael's edited collection is an excellent resource for students interested in comparative health care systems, health economics, and global immigrant experiences.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Surface observations and upper air sounding at the southern region of Iraq had shown the existence of wind maxima with low - level jet stream characteristics, few hundred meters from the surface of the earth, extending over Northern Arabian Gulf. The LLJ study is focused on the large amount of vertical wind shear associated with them and the unpredictable supergeostrophic wind speed they have.The Low - level wind maxima are significant for transport of dust and pollutants, and aviation operations. An effort was made to analyze, classify and to predict field characteristics of the boundary layer in the region, and to study the current understanding of local Low - Level Jet stream behavior and their spatial and temporal variability.According to stability and similarity scheme, Radiosonde data was analyzed to classify boundary layer conditions and the transitions among these conditions. The book is important for professional weather forecasting, aviation operations as it deteriorates horizontal and vertical visibility. Also the turbulence associated with these wind maxima is important for wind energy projects. Theoretical meteorologists may also interested with the dynamical treatment 128 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Do language means have the power to breach the information quality of news reporting Yes, they do. Media organizations operate in the public space and hence they have the ability to impinge on public opinion! That is why the society demands socially responsible behavior from the media. The flagship of media activities is the production of news reporting. This is presented as a reflection of current reality and as such atrributed such positive values as being truthful, objective, and balanced.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A modification to the Wallace reduction is presented that ensures that the delay is the same as for the conventional Wallace reduction. The modified reduction method greatly reduces the number of half adders; producing implementations with 80 percent fewer half adders than standard Wallace multipliers, with a very slight increase in the number of full adders.In case of CMOS, addition of a single input increases the device count by 2 and thus increases the propagation delay. New logic styles were developed to minimize the propagation delay and chip area. 72 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The field of pharmacy is as old as mankind, yet as new as present-day medicines. The scope of pharmacy practice includes more traditional roles such as compounding and dispensing medications and it also includes more modern services related to health care, including clinical services, reviewing medications for safety and efficacy and providing drug information. Pharmacists, therefore, are the experts on drug therapy. A pharmacist is a drug specialist not disease specialist. Pharmacy is not a single subject it's a multidisciplinary subject. To turn into proficient pharmacist, one first need to learn the pharmaceutical, medical and other terms, words and abbreviations linked to the health profession. Most of them used today are derived from Greek and Latin languages. We normally have little knowledge about these languages. Once we learn common terms, words and abbreviations we will be able to understand the world of pharmacy. The foremost objective of this book is to focus on commonly used pharmacomedical terms, words and abbreviations so that pharmacy student can easily interpret and communicate information accurately to become a competent pharmacist. 128 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The sagittal split ramus osteotomy is now the most widely used orthognathic surgical procedure to correct jaw deformity. Due to the position and course of the mandibular canal, the IAN is at great risk of injury during SSRO. The incidence of immediate postoperative sensory impairment ranges from 49% to 100%. To reduce injuries to the IAN during SSRO, prior knowledge of the anatomic location and course of the mandibular canal is imperative. While there are number of studies on this line on cadavers and dry mandibles, there is hardly any study on the individuals undergoing BSSO. This has prompted us to undertake the present study, that is by assessing the position of mandibular foramen, evaluation of IAN at different levels pre-operatively and interpolating these readings and knowledge intra-operatively. Computer assisted navigation allows for real-time imaging of the surgical drill as an overlay graphic on CT and live intraoperative video images and has been reported to be suitable for routine clinical applications. The pre-operative evaluation of actual course of mandibular canal by means of computer tomography will be of great help to the surgeon in reducing the risk of IAN injury 108 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Liquefied hydrogen and liquefied oxygen are used as propellants in liquid fuel rockets. These cryogenic liquids are pumped with high pressure turbo-pump to the combustion chamber in the liquid fuel rocket engine to make the system smaller and lighter. In addition, petroleum refineries use special pumps to deliver cryogenic fluids which are very volatile and sensitive to pressure and temperature changes. Cavitation is a major limiting feature when selecting or designing such cryogenic pumps. An inducer is attached to these turbo-pumps or cryogenic pumps to increase their efficiency. It is necessary for the turbo-pump to run very fast to make it smaller. In this condition, cavitation occurs around the inducer because the local static pressure becomes smaller than the vapor pressure. This book is written to study and simulate numerically the non-cavitating and cavitating performance and to predict the cavity profile of a cavitating pump inducer of different geometries and blade profiles operating at nominal and off-design operating conditions using the Finite Volume Method 184 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Proteins interacting with the genome, such as histones and transcription factors, play a major role in the regulation of gene expression. Experimental techniques such as ChIP-seq provide a new type of digital sequences that quantify the presence of a protein along the genome. These are count signals: sequences as long as the genetic code, but with the natural numbers as an alphabet. The computational analysis of these sequences is challenging, as the biological patterns are complex and the datasets are large. This thesis presents 3 efficient algorithms for pattern detection problems in count signals. The first infers the genomic locations of positioned nucleosomes by using an appropriate wavelet and by integrating measurements from multiple ChIP-seq experiments. The second characterizes the regulatory processes acting on the chromatin and is based on an accurate probabilistic model for read counts. The third detects transcription factor binding sites from ChIP-exo data by simultaneously modelling the sequence and the read counts associated to a binding event. Overall, the thesis presents a general computational framework that is likely to be important for future challenges. 140 pp. Englisch.…
