Sjoegren's Syndrome: Diagnosis and Therapeutics provides a thorough, multisystemic overview of the clinical manifestations of Sjoegren's Syndrome.

Invasive bladder tumors affect the muscle wall, and have a propensity to metastasize and spread to other areas of the body, and are more likely to be fatal. The book offers a comprehensive review of the subject, covering epidemiology, screening, diagnostic factors, surgery, chemotherapy and post-operative monitoring.

In its 2nd edition, this book updates progress in prevention of genetic disorders, showing the importance of PGD in primary preventive measures and its growing role in providing a range of reproduction options to couples at risk. Reviews recent advances in PGD.

This highly anticipated new edition provides a comprehensive account of face recognition research and technology, spanning the full range of topics needed for designing operational face recognition systems.

With Skype, mobile telephony and other innovations in communication transforming the way families keep in touch with each other, this study analyzes how connections between families and couples are evolving in today's evolving technological context.

Asset Condition, Information Systems and Decision Models, is the second volume of the Engineering Asset Management Review Series.

A Collaborative Virtual Environment (CVE) is a distributed, virtual reality designed to support collaborative activities. Aimed at anyone involved in researching the design of tools for supporting distributed teams of workers, it helps the reader understand the latest technology, state-of-the-art research, and good working practice.

Introducing ergodic theory and dynamical systems, with an emphasis on chaotic dynamics, this book explores the fundamental ideas from basic notions like ergodicity, mixing and isomorphisms of dynamical systems, to chaotic transformations with hyperbolic dynamics, entropy, information theory, ergodic decomposition and measurable partitions.

As the use of synthetic and 'foreign' materials in orthopedics grows, specialist physicians need updating on the latest techniques. This revised second edition covers fundamental concepts as well as clinical applications and offers first-hand expert advice.

Manufacturers have for too long been myopic in how they run their businesses. Graduate students studying international marketing, international business or channel management and undergraduate students studying business will also buy this book.

As end of life care is extended to more and more people it is increasingly important that people with progressive neurological disease are recognised as having particular issues as their disease progresses.

This concise guide helps new and experienced health informatics teams successfully plan and implement CPOE. The book, in a narrative style, draws on the author's decade-long experiences of implementing CPOE at a variety of academic, pediatric and community hospitals across the United States.

The treatment of eye, nose, cheek, ear, jaw, and soft tissue deformities are also discussed.Atlas of Operative Maxillofacial Trauma Surgery: Post-Traumatic Deformity aims to give a framework to trainee and practising surgeons to help them manage trauma and allow them to assess and treat patients with facial deformities.

This easy to read text provides a broad introduction to the fundamental concepts of modeling and simulation (M&S) and systems engineering, highlighting how M&S is used across the entire systems engineering lifecycle.

This book highlights some of the relationships between basic science and clinical medicine, and it reviews research and clinical practice methods and outcomes in vascular biology and pathobiology. It contains nearly eighty illustrations, most in color.

Modeling Biomolecular Networks in Cells shows how the interaction between the molecular components of basic living organisms can be modelled mathematically and the models used to create artificial biological entities within cells.

For experiments, dimensional analysis enables the design, checks the validity, orders the procedure and synthesises the data.

It should be noted, however, that the new subtitle of the present volume may be somewhat misleading, since this book also treats (in Chapters 10 and 11) moire effects between repetitive layers, which are, in fact, geometric transformations of periodic layers, that are generally no longer periodic in themselves.

This book shows how to do systems thinking and translate that thinking into praxis (theory informed practical action). Part III identifies the main factors that constrain the uptake of systems practice and makes the case for innovation in practice by means of systemic inquiry, systemic action research and systemic intervention.

Understanding the key components of the diagnosis, assessment and management of inflammatory arthritis patients is essential to improving patient care. deals with the epidemiology, pathology, clinical assessment and investigation of inflammatory arthritis patients and provides a comprehensive overview of currently available treatment options.

Stochastic Recursive Algorithms for Optimization presents algorithms for constrained and unconstrained optimization and for reinforcement learning.

Focus on issues and principles in context awareness, sensor processing and software design (rather than sensor networks or HCI or particular commercial systems). Designed as a textbook, with readings and lab problems in most chapters. Focus on concepts, algorithms and ideas rather than particular technologies.

Intended to introduce readers to the major geometrical topics taught at undergraduate level in a manner that is both accessible and rigorous, the author uses world measurement as a synonym for geometry - hence the importance of numbers, coordinates and their manipulation - and has included over 300 exercises, with answers to most of them.

The structure of Apollo - The Lost and Forgotten Missions follows the development and in flight testing of the Apollo lunar spacecraft prior to Apollo 11 as well as missions planned following that first landing.

however, classical belief revision is not well suited for logics such as Description Logics.Belief Revision in Non-Classical Logics presents a framework which can be applied to a wide class of logics that include - besides most Description Logics such as the ones behind OWL - Horn Logic and Intuitionistic logic, amongst others.

This book discusses problems concerning the design and realization of digital control algorithms for power electronics circuits using digital signal processing (DSP) methods. It includes Matlab examples for illustration of considered problems.

This book describes RT 3D TEE in percutaneous interventional procedures, exploring its growing role and acceptance among interventional cardiologists, and also emphasizing areas of weakness. Each chapter describes the morphopathology as seen with RT 3D TEE.

Atlas of Anatomic Pathology with Imaging - A Correlative Diagnostic Companion is a valuable teaching tool for medical students and residents in several specialities such as pathology, radiology, internal medicine, surgery and neurologic sciences.
