Single Best Answers in Surgery, Second Edition

By: Darren K Patten,David Layfield,Shobhit Arya,Daniel R Leff,Paraskevas A Paraskeva

The second edition of Single Best Answers in Surgery, Second Edition continues to provide invaluable guidance to this widely used question format, written by authors who understand that detailed explanations accompanying each answer are the key to a successful revision aid. This book presents more than 500 SBA questions arranged into topic areas as well as a section of random questions for self-testing under examination conditions. A clear discussion of how the correct answer was reached and other options ruled out for every question is given at the end of each section, making this book an excellent learning aid for all stages of undergraduate surgical studies, and particularly during revision for final examinations.

Single Best Answers in Surgery

By: Darren K Patten,David Layfield,Shobhit Arya,Daniel R Leff,Paraskevas A. Paraskeva

Single Best Answers in Surgery offers a new approach to revising for surgical finals; by not only indicating the correct answer to each question, but explaining the full rationale used for finding the answer in each case. This means the book is invaluable not only for self-testing before an exam, but will have long-term value throughout a student's surgical studies, through to finals exams and beyond. The questions are arranged into topic areas, followed by a practice exam for true self-assessment. Single Best Answers in Surgery contains 450 questions and answers in the following areas: (1) Pre- and Postoperative Management, (2) Fluid Balance and Parenteral Nutrition, (3) Trauma, (4) Abdomen: Upper GI and Hepatobiliary Surgery, (5) Abdomen: Lower GI Surgery (6) Abdomen: The Acute Abdomen, (7) Breast Surgery, (8) Vascular Surgery, (9) Urology, (10) Orthopaedics, (11) Neurosurgery, (12) ENT Surgery, (13) Ophthalmic Surgery, (14) Lumps, Bumps, Skin and Hernias, (15) Practice exam Produced by an excellent team of authors and with an introduction by Editorial Advisor Professor Sir Ara Darzi KBE.

Elastic Waves in Solids, Volume 2

Radiation, Scattering, Generation

By: Tony Valier-Brasier,Daniel Royer

Elastic waves are used in fields as diverse as the non-destructive evaluation of materials, medicine, seismology and telecommunications. Elastic Waves in Solids 2 analyzes the radiation, scattering and generation of these waves. It studies the emission of bulk or surface waves from sources localized on the surface of an isotropic or anisotropic solid. It then examines the scattering of a longitudinal or transverse elastic wave by one or more cylindrical or spherical heterogeneities. Finally, it explores the methods and devices used to generate and detect elastic waves, using the piezoelectric effect or the interaction with a laser beam. Accompanying figures illustrate these properties, and the text provides the orders of magnitude of some characteristic parameters. This book is intended for students completing a master’s degree in acoustics, mechanics, geophysics or engineering, as well as teachers and researchers in these disciplines.

Theory Of Critical Phenomena In Finite-size Systems: Scaling And Quantum Effects

By: Jordan G Brankov,Daniel Danchev,Nicholai S Tonchev

The aim of this book is to familiarise the reader with the rich collection of ideas, methods and results available in the theory of critical phenomena in systems with confined geometry. The existence of universal features of the finite-size effects arising due to highly correlated classical or quantum fluctuations is explained by the finite-size scaling theory. This theory (1) offers an interpretation of experimental results on finite-size effects in real systems; (2) gives the most reliable tool for extrapolation to the thermodynamic limit of data obtained by computer simulations; (3) reveals the intimate mechanism of how the critical singularities build up in the thermodynamic limit; and (4) can be fruitfully used to explain the low-temperature behaviour of quantum critical systems.The exposition is given in a self-contained form which presumes the reader's knowledge only in the framework of standard courses on the theory of phase transitions and critical phenomena. The instructive role of simple models, both classical and quantum, is demonstrated by putting the accent on the derivation of rigorous and exact analytical results.

General ultrasound in the critically ill

By: Daniel A. Lichtenstein

Written by an intensivist familiar with ultrasound, this book describes a new clinical tool: ultrasound for the intensive care and emergency physician. It specifically details findings of immediate clinical relevance throughout its pages. This volume is not only an exhaustive atlas dealing with the most variable aspects of the critically ill patient, but it is above all a guide, a permanent aid in the therapeutic decision.

Nanocomposites as Next-Generation Optical Materials

Fundamentals, Design and Advanced Applications

By: Daniel Werdehausen

This book looks at advanced nanocomposites, introducing long-awaited concepts towards bridging the gap between nanostructured optical materials and next-generation imaging systems. It investigates nanocomposites as bulk optical materials and highlights the immense potential they hold for real-world optical elements and systems, such as smartphone cameras. It covers the full spectrum of nanocomposite optical materials from their fundamental properties to analytical modeling and detailed application examples. This book also provides an in-depth discussion of the role these new materials play in the development of broadband flat optics – diffractive optical elements used for enhancing high-end broadband imaging systems. Written by an industry expert, this book seamlessly connects fundamental research and real-world applications. It is the ideal guide both for optical engineers working towards integrating new technologies, and researchers involved with fundamental research on optical materials.

Coping with Job Loss

How Individuals, Organizations, and Communities Respond to Layoffs

By: Carrie R. Leana,Daniel C. Feldman

This is an examination of the emotional and psychological effects of job loss along with practical strategies for coping. All kinds of layoffs, from plant closings, work slow downs, corporate downsizings, and mergers and acquisitions are discussed, illustrated with case studies of Pittsburgh steel workers and Florida Space Coast engineers. The authors document the turmoil that often follows layoffs and the ways that many laid-off workers have succeeded in putting their lives back together. They also evaluate available support services, including extended benefits, outplacement, and retraining programmes.
