This new edition is a complete guide to vaccines and immunisation for paediatricians and trainees. Presented in question and answer format, the text begins with discussion on vaccine immunology and epidemiology, schedules, storage, vaccine delivery systems, and safety. The following sections cover vaccines for many different diseases and infections including hepatitis, measles, influenza, HIV, HPV, and many more. The third edition has been fully revised to provide the latest advances in the field. New topics have been added to this edition such as Coronavirus vaccines, vaccine-preventable diseases (VPD) surveillance, Cytomegalovirus (CMV) vaccine, and enterovirus vaccines. With contributions from experts in the field, this practical book helps answer all the questions practitioners may face in real-life, day to day practice. Key points Practical guide to vaccines and immunisation for paediatricians and trainees Fully revised, third edition featuring latest advances and many new topics Presented in question and answer format Previous edition (9789351521471) published in 2015
The Science and Technology of Cement and other Hydraulic Binders covers the design of Portland Cement composition using the ideas and formulae of earlier scientists, including the calculation of proportions of different cement phases formed during processing. Other chapters cover cement manufacture by dry, semi-dry or wet processes using rotary and shaft kilns. Particular attention is given to the physical changes that occur in the raw mix when affected by chemical processes. The chemistry of clinker formation which is concerned chiefly with high temperature reactions in the solid-state phase or reactions in the presence of the liquid phase is also discussed. Users will find the latest information on the storage of cement, its packing and handling, hydration and setting, Gypsum, different mineral additions, and advances in special and newer cements, including blended cements, Portland slag cement, Pozzolanic cements, high alumina cements, high-strength cement-based materials, fiber-reinforced cement, non-Portland cements and lime. Covers raw materials, cement design and manufacturing, fuels used in manufacturing, phase balances, clinker training, hydration and setting Includes various types of cement, mineral additions, high strength cement and different cement-based materials Presents information on activated alkaline materials, recycled cements and novel additions Discusses future trends in cement manufacturing and the circular economy Contains a high number of figures, tables and reference data
This book describes various methods and recent advances in predictive computing and information security. It highlights various predictive application scenarios to discuss these breakthroughs in real-world settings. Further, it addresses state-of-art techniques and the design, development and innovative use of technologies for enhancing predictive computing and information security. Coverage also includes the frameworks for eTransportation and eHealth, security techniques, and algorithms for predictive computing and information security based on Internet-of-Things and Cloud computing. As such, the book offers a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers interested in exploring predictive modeling techniques and architectures to solve information security, privacy and protection issues in future communication.
This book is a comprehensive guide to the use of drugs in anaesthesiology. Presented in tabular format, each section covers a different drug category, explaining and comparing the properties and characteristics of drugs within that group. The third edition has been fully revised and updated to provide clinicians with the latest advances and knowledge in their field. New chapters on non-opioid analgesics, antihypertensive drugs, antacids and antiemetics, all drugs that affect coagulation (clotting), have been added to this edition. The text is further enhanced by clinical images and figures. The previous edition (9789352701254) published in 2017.
