This work has true international scope, being a unique European/American joint venture that focuses on the state of the art in both diagnostic and therapeutic radionuclide methodology. Pertinent clinical applications are emphasized rather than attempting to cover everything included in the several large comprehensive texts available in our...
The authors examine topics in modern physics and offer a unitary and original treatment of the fundamental problems of the dynamics of physical systems, as well as a description of the nuclear matter within a framework of general relativity. They show that some physical phenomena studied at two different resolution scales (e.g....
The only work available to treat the theory of turbulent flow with suspended particles, this book also includes a section on simulation methods, comparing the model results obtained with the PDF method to those obtained with other techniques, such as DNS, LES and RANS.
Written by experienced scientists with background in oil and gas...
Reason in Action collects John Finnis' work on the theory of practical reason and moral philosophy. The essays in the volume range from foundational issues of meta-ethics to the practical application of natural law theory to ethical problems such as nuclear deterrence, obscenity and free speech, and abortion and cloning. ...
According to the International Basic Safety Standards an accident is “any
unintended event, including operating errors, equipment failures or other mishaps, the
consequences or potential consequences of which are not negligible from the point of
view of protection or safety” [1].
Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are at the forefront of advanced materials technology because of their light weight, high strength and toughness, high temperature capabilities, and graceful failure under loading. During the last 25 years, tremendous progress has been made in the development and advancement of CMCs under various research...
A comprehensive reference survey on the identification and development of promising cancer chemopreventive agents that will help stimulate further novel research and new approvable drugs. For each agent, the authors review the relevant mechanisms of action, the criteria for populations benefiting from intervention, the safety and...
…a reference book of particular value to the power generation, petrochemical and other major industries. — Metal Bulletin Monthly
Creep-resistant steels must be reliable over very long periods of time at high temperatures and in severe environments. Understanding and improving long-term creep strength is...
The comprehensive guide to engineering alternative and renewable energy systems and applications—updated for the latest trends and technologies
This book was designed tohelp engineers develop new solutions for the current energy economy. To that end it provides technical discussions, along with numerous real-world...
Controversies over such issues as nuclear waste, genetically modified organisms, asbestos, tobacco, gene therapy, avian flu, and cell phone towers arise almost daily as rapid scientific and technological advances create uncertainty and bring about unforeseen concerns. The authors of Acting in an Uncertain World argue that political...
"An excellent primer on medical imaging for all members of the medical profession . . . including non-radiological specialists. It is technically solid and filled with diagrams and clinical images illustrating important points, but it is also easily readable . . . So many outstanding chapters . . . The book uses little mathematics...
The second edition of this book has been significantly expanded to meet the demands of the increasing new trend of molecular imaging. A separate chapter on the basis of FDG uptake has been added. New to this edition are the more clinically oriented details on scintigraphic studies, their strengths and limitations in relation to other...
