Introduction to Process Geomorphology provides an integrative approach to the process dynamics and the origin of landforms by the contemporary processes involved in their evolution. The author highlights the physical and chemical laws governing the activity of the earth-surface processes in specific environmental stress conditions, puts forward com
This book is a comprehensive guide to the complete field of contact lenses for optometrists and ophthalmic assistants. Beginning with an introduction to the evolution of contact lenses and the relevant anatomy and physiology, the following chapters explain the different types of contact lenses, materials and fitting, and lens solutions. Chapters dedicated to the use of contact lenses with certain ocular conditions such as astigmatism, keratoconus and aphakia, are also included. The final sections discuss complications associated with wearing contact lenses and also the fitting of lenses after refractive surgery. The fifth edition has been fully revised to provide the very latest information and features images, diagrams and tables to enhance learning. Key Points Comprehensive guide to contact lenses for optometrists and ophthalmic assistants Fully revised new edition providing latest information in the field Covers all types of contact lenses and potential complications Includes use of lenses with specific ocular disorders and after refractive surgery
Biopolymer Grafting: Applications presents the latest research and developments in the practical application of these methods in industry, both to enable polymer scientists and engineers to keep up with the latest research trends, as well as to propose ideas for further research and application. Research into bio-based polymers has become increasingly prevalent. However, due to challenges related to the properties of these materials compared to synthetic polymers—such as their resistance to chemicals or weather—uptake has not dramatically increased yet. As a result, improvements in surface modification of bio-polymers through graft copolymerization are enormously important, because they will widen the scope of their applications. Relevant industries for application of these methods include automotive, construction, food, packaging, agriculture, textiles and paper. This book provides an overview of the developments made in the area of biopolymer-based graft polymers. Advantages, disadvantages and suggestions for future works are discussed, assisting materials scientists and researchers in mapping out the future of these new "green" materials through value addition to enhance their use. - Helps researchers and product developers understand the applications and limitations of biopolymer copolymers or copolymers of natural polymers - Offers a roadmap to future applications development in a range of different industries, including automotive, biomedical and packaging - Increases familiarity with a range of biopolymer grafting processes, enabling materials scientists and engineers to improve material properties and widen the range of potential biopolymer applications

Key points Fully updated, third edition helping anaesthesia trainees prepare for examinations Easy to follow, question and answer format, covering many clinical cases and anaesthesia equipment Includes new chapters and 265 images and illustrations Previous edition published in 2012
Veterinary Toxicology, in recent years, has acquired greater importance than ever before because of increasing and indiscriminate use of farm chemicals and drugs accompanied by rapid degrading impact of environmental pollution on health of animals. The indiscriminate feeding habits of domestic animals especially in developing countries make them more prone to the impact of natural toxicants especially Phytotoxins and Mycotoxins. Toxicology has been recognized as a separate discipline in veterinary sciences both at undergraduate and post graduate levels for the last four decades and a lot of emphasis has been given on its teaching, research and practical utility from clinical point of view. The book has been prepared in a most comprehensive manner with up-to date reference which offers invaluable, clinically oriented guidance on numerous potentially toxic substances. In addition, to covering traditional and non-traditional areas of toxicology it provides a wealth of quick reference charts and tables that put vital information at your finger tips in seconds
This book is a guide to instruments used in ophthalmic surgery for trainees. Beginning with a chapter describing basic instruments commonly used in surgery, each of the following sections is dedicated to instruments for subspecialty surgeries including cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery, retinal surgery, oculoplastic surgery, strabismus surgery, and much more. The final chapters cover needles and sutures, and sterilisation of surgical instruments. A comprehensive description and colour photographs are provided for each instrument. Key points Guide to instruments used in ophthalmic surgery for trainees Covers basics instruments commonly used in surgery Describes different instruments for subspecialty surgeries Includes chapters on needles and sutures, and sterilisation of surgical instruments
