Clyde Williams just wanted to draw comic books. Life and death have other plans.Brooklyn-born artist Clyde Williams has spent his life obsessing over comic books and chasing his big dream to one day break into the industry as a hot new artist. But chasing the dream isn't easy. It's tiring, dispiriting work.And that was before the ghost of his recently murdered best friend and roommate, Kev Carpenter, showed up at their apartment. Shocked and confused, the pair have been trying to establish some sense of their old status quo, of normality, but normality left town and isn't coming back. Instead, they get a knock at their front door. Rose Hadfield, agent of Hourglass, has some understanding of what it's like to commune with the dead, living with the ghosts of her former military unit, and offers them the choice to educate themselves and train their abilities, or remain under Hourglass' scrutiny in the name of public safety.Clyde's long-held distrust of all things military and federal, has him prepared to decline Rose's offer. Kev, however, has other ideas. Being restless and detached from the world, he sees this as his only real option. A purpose. Wracked with sympathy for his best friend's plight, Clyde accepts Rose's offer on one condition: upon completion of his training, he will remain a civilian. A fair compromise.Unbeknownst to Clyde and Kev, their acceptance of Rose's offer has catapulted them on a collision course with an ex-KGB officer turned necromantic monk, and the ancient, wealthy, and morally dubious Cairnwood Society. Clyde and Kev will soon learn that death is only the beginning.

The life of Clyde Williams had certainly taken a detour these last months. Turning from aspiring comic book artist to low-ranked Level 1 necromancer. He saw things. Fought things. He killed, and even took a trip to the dead realm of Erebus.And now he's official, an agent of the paranormal intelligence department Hourglass, and posted to New York's Madhouse facility with the ghost of his best friend and their seasoned team.And they have their work cut out for them. Local Hourglass assets are being targeted by a lethal, horrifically-enhanced killer called The Hangman, the first weapon in a new campaign of terror being waged against Hourglass. But he won't be the last. The Cairnwood Society is producing more of these monstrous madmen, and it's up to Clyde and his team to find out their dark methods, and shut them down before Cairnwood can amass an army of nightmare killers to launch against Hourglass, and the world.

Dieses Lehrbuch wurde geschrieben, um den neuen Lehrplan für Computerunterricht der ersten Klasse zu berücksichtigen, der in diesem Jahr an einer weiterführenden Schule in Fidschi getestet wird. Es ist ein neues Lehrbuch und das erste seiner Art, das vor Ort geschrieben wurde. Es besteht die Hoffnung, dass dieses Buch bei der Umsetzung des Lehrplans nützlich sein wird, es sollte jedoch klar sein, dass es nicht der Lehrplan ist. Der Lehrplan ist der Rahmen, dem der Lehrer folgen muss, während dieses Lehrbuch eine Ressource für den Schüler ist. Daher ist es akzeptabel, für weitere Informationen auf andere Ressourcenmaterialien umzusteigen. Das Lehrbuch ist nicht die perfekte Arbeit, da es in sehr kurzer Zeit erstellt wurde, daher sind Änderungsvorschläge willkommen. Es wird erwartet, dass dieses Buch den Zeitaufwand der Lehrer für die Unterrichtsvorbereitung minimiert und mehr Zeit für das eigentliche Lehren und Lernen im Klassenzimmer aufwendet. Über den Inhalt der Themen mag es unterschiedliche Meinungen geben, aber für den Anfänger ist es am besten, wenn man Zeit und Gelegenheit hat, sich mit den Grundlagen vertraut zu machen, bevor man sich tiefer in das Studienfach vertieft.

Este livro foi escrito para atender ao novo programa de Educação em Computação do Ano Um testado na escola secundária de Fiji durante o ano. É um novo livro didático e o primeiro desse tipo a ser escrito localmente. Espera-se que este livro seja útil na implementação do programa, mas deve ser entendido que não é o programa. O plano de estudos é a estrutura a ser seguida pelo professor, enquanto este livro didático é um recurso para o aluno. Portanto, será aceitável recorrer a outros materiais de recursos para obter mais informações. O livro didático não é o trabalho perfeito, pois foi preparado em muito pouco tempo, portanto, sugestões de alterações serão bem-vindas. Prevê-se que este livro minimize a quantidade de tempo gasto pelos professores na preparação das aulas e que mais tempo seja dedicado ao ensino e aprendizagem reais em sala de aula. Pode haver uma variedade de opiniões sobre o conteúdo dos tópicos, mas para o iniciante é o melhor que dá tempo e oportunidade de se familiarizar com o básico antes de prosseguir no campo de estudo com mais detalhes.

Ce manuel a été écrit pour répondre au nouveau programme d'enseignement informatique de première année testé dans l'école secondaire des Fidji pour l'année. Il s¿agit d¿un nouveau manuel scolaire et le premier du genre à être rédigé localement. On espère que ce livre sera utile à la mise en ¿uvre du programme, mais il faut comprendre qu'il ne s'agit pas du programme. Le programme est le cadre que l'enseignant doit suivre tandis que ce manuel est une ressource pour l'étudiant. Par conséquent, le recours à d¿autres ressources documentaires pour plus d¿informations sera acceptable. Le manuel n'est pas un travail parfait car il a été préparé dans un délai très court, c'est pourquoi les suggestions d'amendements seront les bienvenues. Il est prévu que ce livre réduise le temps consacré par les enseignants à la préparation des cours et que davantage de temps soit consacré à l'enseignement et à l'apprentissage en classe. Il peut y avoir une variété d'opinions sur le contenu des sujets, mais pour le débutant, c'est le meilleur qui donne le temps et l'opportunité de se familiariser avec les bases avant d'approfondir le domaine d'étude plus en détail.

Questo libro di testo è stato scritto per soddisfare il programma di educazione informatica del primo anno sperimentato nella scuola secondaria delle Fiji per l'anno in corso. È un nuovo libro di testo e il primo del suo genere ad essere scritto localmente. Si spera che questo libro sia utile per implementare il programma, ma è opportuno comprendere che non si tratta del programma. Il programma è la struttura da seguire per l'insegnante mentre questo libro di testo è una risorsa per lo studente. Pertanto sarà accettabile il passaggio ad altri materiali di risorsa per ulteriori informazioni. Il libro di testo non è un lavoro perfetto in quanto è stato preparato in un tempo molto breve, pertanto saranno benvenuti suggerimenti per modifiche. Si prevede che questo libro ridurrà al minimo il tempo dedicato agli insegnanti nella preparazione delle lezioni e che più tempo sarà dedicato all'insegnamento e all'apprendimento in classe. Potrebbero esserci opinioni diverse sul contenuto degli argomenti, ma per i principianti è il migliore perché dà il tempo e l'opportunità di acquisire familiarità con le nozioni di base prima di proseguire nel campo di studio in modo più dettagliato.

Nuclear Medicine is a medical specialty that allows modern diagnostics and treatments cancer using radiopharmaceuticals original radiotracers (drugs linked to a radioactive isotope). Radiopharmaceuticals are considered a special group of drugs and thus their preparation and use are regulated by a set of policies that have been adopted by individual member of countries. The radiopharmaceuticals used in diagnostic examinations are administered in very small doses. So, in general, they have no pharmacological action, side effects or serious adverse reactions. In contrast, nuclear medicine procedures use a radioactive material, called a radiopharmaceutical or radiotracer, which is injected into the bloodstream, swallowed or inhaled as a gas. This radioactive material accumulates in the organ or area of your body being examined, where it gives off a small amount of energy in the form of gamma rays. Special cameras detect this energy, and with the help of a computer, create pictures offering details on both the structure and function of organs and tissues in your body.

A Medicina Nuclear é uma especialidade médica que permite o diagnóstico e tratamento moderno do cancro utilizando radiotraçadores originais radiofarmacêuticos (medicamentos ligados a um isótopo radioactivo). Os radiofármacos são considerados um grupo especial de medicamentos e, portanto, a sua preparação e utilização são reguladas por um conjunto de políticas que foram adoptadas por cada membro individual dos países. Os radiofármacos utilizados nos exames de diagnóstico são administrados em doses muito pequenas. Assim, em geral, não têm qualquer acção farmacológica, efeitos secundários ou reacções adversas graves. Em contraste, os procedimentos de medicina nuclear utilizam um material radioactivo, chamado radiofármaco ou radiotraqueador, que é injectado na corrente sanguínea, engolido ou inalado como um gás. Este material radioactivo acumula-se no órgão ou área do seu corpo a ser examinado, onde emite uma pequena quantidade de energia sob a forma de raios gama. Câmaras especiais detectam esta energia, e com a ajuda de um computador, criam imagens oferecendo detalhes tanto sobre a estrutura como sobre a função dos órgãos e tecidos do seu corpo.

I radiofarmaci sono considerati un gruppo speciale di farmaci e quindi la loro preparazione e il loro uso sono regolamentati da una serie di politiche adottate dai singoli Paesi membri. I radiofarmaci utilizzati negli esami diagnostici sono somministrati in dosi molto piccole. Pertanto, in generale, non hanno azione farmacologica, effetti collaterali o reazioni avverse gravi. Le procedure di medicina nucleare, invece, utilizzano un materiale radioattivo, chiamato radiofarmaco o radiotracciante, che viene iniettato nel sangue, ingerito o inalato come gas. Questo materiale radioattivo si accumula nell'organo o nell'area del corpo da esaminare, dove emette una piccola quantità di energia sotto forma di raggi gamma. Speciali telecamere rilevano questa energia e, con l'aiuto di un computer, creano immagini che offrono dettagli sulla struttura e sulla funzione degli organi e dei tessuti del corpo.

Die Nuklearmedizin ist ein medizinisches Fachgebiet, das die moderne Diagnostik und Behandlung von Krebserkrankungen mit Hilfe von Radiopharmaka, den ursprünglichen Radiotracern (mit einem radioaktiven Isotop verbundene Arzneimittel), ermöglicht. Radiopharmazeutika gelten als eine besondere Gruppe von Arzneimitteln und ihre Herstellung und Verwendung wird durch eine Reihe von Richtlinien geregelt, die von den einzelnen Mitgliedsstaaten verabschiedet wurden. Die bei diagnostischen Untersuchungen verwendeten Radiopharmazeutika werden in sehr geringen Dosen verabreicht. Daher haben sie im Allgemeinen keine pharmakologische Wirkung, keine Nebenwirkungen oder schwerwiegenden unerwünschten Wirkungen. Im Gegensatz dazu wird bei nuklearmedizinischen Verfahren ein radioaktives Material, ein so genanntes Radiopharmakon oder Radiotracer, verwendet, das in die Blutbahn injiziert, geschluckt oder als Gas eingeatmet wird. Dieses radioaktive Material reichert sich in dem zu untersuchenden Organ oder Körperbereich an, wo es eine geringe Energiemenge in Form von Gammastrahlen abgibt. Spezielle Kameras erkennen diese Energie und erstellen mit Hilfe eines Computers Bilder, die Details über die Struktur und Funktion von Organen und Geweben in Ihrem Körper liefern.

A provocative exploration of photography's relationship to capitalism, from leading theorists of visual culture.

Thirty years after James Hamilton was forcibly migrated to New Zealand as an orphan child, an unexpected inheritance draws him back to Cornwall, where he stumbles on a long-dormant WWII secret concealed in the shared memory of the small fishing village he once considered home.Mystery deepens when James begins clearing out the cottage he has inherited and uncovers a bundle of letters that imply the owner of the cottage, a retired lieutenant commander in the Royal Navy, participated in a clandestine operation that has remained suppressed in the core of the village and has direct links to James's true identity.Determined to get to the truth of his past, James digs into the background and context of the letters he's found and it's more disturbing than he ever imagined. His attempts to unravel the past reveal a shadowy world of British Intelligence, the French Maquis and Nazi sympathisers within Allied ranks.Against the backdrop of WWII exploits spanning North Africa and France, Operation Traction is a story of divided loyalties and extreme courage. A story of love, of deceit and of sacrifice.
