The MassGeneral Hospital for Children Handbook of Pediatric Global Health is a concise resource for the ever-increasing number of health professionals involved in global health, many of whom spend a few weeks to months or even years providing medical care in resource-poor countries. This Handbook provides...
Source-sink theories provide a simple yet powerful framework for understanding how the patterns, processes and dynamics of ecological systems vary and interact over space and time. Integrating multiple research fields, including population biology and landscape ecology, this book presents the latest advances in source-sink theories, methods...
In Future Cities, three authors - futurists, urban experts and systems architects - consider how the demands of the 21st Century will reshape the places where half of the world's population lives. From the history of urban development to the challenges of climate change and terrorism, they show how technology advances have shaped cities...
As the population of patients with acute or chronic kidney disease grows, healthcare professionals need a resource that optimizes drug effectiveness while minimizing potential toxicity. Renal Pharmacotherapy is a comprehensive listing of dosage recommendations for patients with compromised renal function. This...
The fourth edition of Human Reproductive Biology emphasizes the biological and biomedical aspects of human reproduction, explains advances in reproductive science and discusses the choices and concerns of today. Generously illustrated in full color, the text provides current information about human reproductive anatomy and...
Mongoose is all about putting the data model where it should be: in your application. You can control everything from within your application in JavaScript, eliminating the need to work with the database or a separate management system.
Mongoose for Application Development is a practical, hands-on guide that takes you from...
With reference to absorption spectroscopy,we deal herewith photon absorption by electrons
distributed within specific orbitals in a population of molecules. Upon absorption, one
electron reaches an upper vacant orbital of higher energy. Thus, light absorption would
induce the molecule excitation. Transition from ground to excited...
The source of life is water. Life began in the
oceans, which represent the largest stock of water
on Earth. Much less water is stored below the land
surface in the form of fresh groundwater, amounting
to not quite 0.8% of the earth’s total water
reserves, while lakes and rivers combined only
contribute a further...
Computing is transforming our society in ways that are as profound as the changes wrought
by physics and chemistry in the previous two centuries. Indeed, there is hardly an aspect of
our lives that hasn't already been influenced, or even revolutionized, by digital technology.
Given the importance of computing to modern society,...
Although the hypothesis that environmental chemicals may exhibit endocrine disrupting
effects is not new, being raised by Allen and Doisy in 1924, again by Dodds
et al. in 1938, and in the 1950s by Burlington and Lindeman, the issue has seen a
growing level of concern due to reports of increased incidences of...
Crystallization from solution is a core technology in major sectors of the
chemical process and allied industries. Crystals are produced in varying sizes
ranging from as small as a few tens of nanometers to several millimetres
or more, both as discrete particles and as structured agglomerates. Well-
established examples include bulk...
