 Fiber Optic Sensors, Second Edition (Optical Science and Engineering)
In recent years, fiber optic sensors have developed from the laboratory
research and development stage to practical applications. The market for
fiber optic sensor technology may be divided into two broad categories
of sensors: intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic sensors are used in medicine,
defense, and aerospace applications,... | | Hands-On Database
Many students taking an introductory database course need hands-on experience.
Typically, they are under pressure to finish quickly with a certificate or degree and get to work. They need to get actual practice in the process of designing and developing databases that they can apply in their future employment. They need to create... | | Managerial Leadership
I remember talking in 1995 with Bob Staton, CEO of Colonial Life
& Accident Insurance Company, a division of UNUM, about the
lack of leadership throughout the company. Colonial was one of
the few large, homegrown companies in Columbia, South Carolina,
when it was acquired by UNUM, the Maine-based disability insurance... |

Text Atlas of Podiatric Dermatology
For many years there has been a very positive link between podiatry and clinical dermatology, but unfortunately they largely
remain apart in most medical cultures, both in training and in practice. Where they have begun to overlap in the clinical
treatment of foot dermatological problems the benefits rapidly become obvious to those... | | Hip Sonography: Diagnosis and Management of Infant Hip Dysplasia
Orthopaedic surgeons, paediatricians and radiologists

together under the heading “Disorders of Hip
Maturation” then together they constitute the
commonest disease of the... | | The Tourniquet Manual - Principles and Practice

that surveys the considerable literature that has accumulated. If used sensibly,
the tourniquet is a safe instrument. Most of the few complications seen with its
use are... |

Quantitative MRI of the Brain: Measuring Changes Caused by Disease
This book was conceived one balmy March evening on the banks of the river Brisbane, in Queensland, Australia, where I had just arrived for a sabbatical, and it became clear that the traditions of measurement science and MRI should meet. The notion of a guide, a cook-book, for quantitative MRI (qMR) techniques took seed, and attained its own... | | Brachytherapy: Applications and Techniques
Brachytherapy is the clinical use of radioactive isotopes to provide a highly conformal image-guided radiation therapy that takes advantage of the steep fall off dose characteristics and different energetic emanations to improve the therapeutic ratio. Historically it was the first mode of radiation therapy. The last ... | | Integrating Employee Health: A Model Program for NASA
The American workforce is changing, creating new challenges for employers
to provide occupational health services to meet the needs of
employees. First, a shift from manufacturing to services, knowledgecentered,

from physical injury and exposure-related illness... |
