The application of non-intrusive experimental techniques is a break-through in the comprehension of the physical mechanisms governing roughness-induced transition in hypersonic flows. In this thesis, IR Thermography, Planar and Tomographic Particle Image Velocimetry are applied. They show a great potentiality in quantifying the most relevant flow features upstream and downstream of three-dimensional roughness elements. Particularly, non-intrusive measurements of the two-dimensional and three-dimensional velocity flow fields are reported and discussed.
This book discusses canine and feline skin cytology and the importance of this diagnostic tool in interpreting skin lesions. With more than 600 clinical and cytological color pictures, it explains the cytological patterns observed in all cutaneous inflammatory and neoplastic lesions in cats and dogs, as well as cutaneous metastasis of non-primary skin neoplasms. The first part of the book describes cell morphology and cytological patterns, providing an overview of the normal structure of the skin. In the second chapter, readers learn how to choose the best techniques for different types of lesions. Further chapters present the cytological findings in the main inflammatory and neoplastic skin diseases. By focusing on the macroscopic aspects of the lesions from which the cells are collected, it helps readers to interpret cytological specimens. The final chapter explores the cytology of cutaneous metastasis from internal organs or accessory glands. This book offers veterinary students and practitioners alike an essential diagnostic tool.
This book guides readers through the major aspects of veterinary cytology from sample collection, preparation, and staining, to the criteria used to examine the slide and draft a quality cytological report. It provides comprehensive coverage of the cutaneous and subcutaneous lesions encountered in dogs and cats, with a new and schematic approach.
Illustrated with high quality photomicrographs, Differential Diagnosis of Body Fluids in Small Animal Cytology provides a comprehensive review of fluid cytology, with an extensive visual atlas. With key points describing the main clinical and cytological features of each pathologic condition, the book provides lists of causes and differential diagnoses, including handy 'pearls and pitfalls' boxes. It is also enriched by chapters on microbiology testing of body fluids and other advanced diagnostic techniques, making the book a valuable resource for veterinary specialists (in particular clinical and anatomical pathologists), residents, veterinary undergraduate students, and small animal practitioners.
Territory, Time and State is a study of long term archaeological history in the remote and beautiful upland valley of Gubbio within the Umbrian Apennines of Italy. The aim of the work is well defined by the natural constraints of this mountainous region. The authors have developed a multi-disciplinary approach to study the human and physical characteristics of the valley from the paleolithic to the medieval period. They integrate the analysis of a unique text (the Iguvine Tables) with excavation, field survey and environmental reconstruction to provide a synthesis of current knowledge. They break boundaries of time and tradition which are normally compartmentalised between different scholars. Although the linkage is sometimes controversial, it is always stimulating. The book has two major focuses: the first is on the Bronze Age landscape where spectacular sites and finds have contributed very significantly to our knowledge of pre-state Italy; and the second is on the identity and character of the early city state of Gubbio and its incorporation into the Roman world.
