A Head Full of Ghosts
The lives of the Barretts, a suburban New England family, are torn apart when fourteen-year-old Marjorie begins to display signs of acute schizophrenia. To her parents' despair, the doctors are unable to halt Marjorie's descent into madness. As their stable home devolves into a house of horrors, they reluctantly turn to a local Catholic priest for help, and soon find themselves the unwitting stars of The Possession, a hit reality television show.
Gene Therapy and Tissue Engineering in Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine
This book has been written in response to the many physicians and scien tists working on the development of biological approaches to providing therapies for many orthopaedic disorders as well as to improving the healing of many tissues of the musculoskeletal system. The first goal of this book is to make the language compatible between the bench scientist and the clinician working in orthopaedic and sports medicine in order to cover specific areas of the orthopaedic discipline where the treatment can be improved and/or changed by the advancements in molecular medicine. Advancements in molecular biology, which encompass the study of the genetic basis of disease, have produced new diagnostic methods and drug therapies for genetic diseases and acquired disorders. The growth in the understanding of human genetics has also led to the initiation of many human gene therapy experiments. Although many approved therapeutic clinical trials using this new technology have been performed in the last ten years, the first clinical trial using this technology in the area of orthopaedics was performed at the University of Pittsburgh.
Biomaterials Science and Tissue Engineering
Covers key principles and methodologies of biomaterials science and tissue engineering with the help of numerous case studies.
Structures Under Shock and Impact X
This text examines the interaction between blast pressure and surface or underground structures, whether the blast is from civilian, military, dust and natural explosions, or any other source.
Tribology and Design II
Today it is more important than ever for designers to consider product and system durability in relation to reliability and sustainability issues. Containing papers presented at the Fourth International Conference on Tribology and Design, Tribology and Design II brings together work by colleagues from different disciplines interested in problems of surface interaction and design. The topics covered include; Design tools; Test methods; Surface engineering; Tribology under extreme conditions; Surface measurements; Advances in lubrication; Wear mechanics; Plasticizers and slip additives; Tribology in biomechanics; Nano-tribology and design; Tribology in space applications; Reliability and life-oriented design; Advanced materials.
Air Pollution XXI
Containing papers presented at the twenty-first in a successful series of conferences on the modelling, monitoring and management of air pollution, the book Air Pollution XXI covers what has become a widespread and growing challenge to the international community. Governments face a need to balance concern over its known impacts on local and global health and the environment with improving or maintaining economic development. The key to achieving that balance is to use science to identify the nature and scale of air pollution impacts and to formulate effective policies and regulations. As our knowledge and application of the science of air pollution improves, we are better able to predict, a...
Structural Studies, Repairs and Maintenance of Heritage Architecture XII
Architectural heritage is now recognised to be of great importance to the historical identity of a region, town or nation. In order to take care of that heritage, we need to look beyond borders and share experiences and knowledge regarding heritage preservation. This book contains papers covering the latest advances in this field, presented at the twelfth and latest in a series of now-biennial conferences that began in 1989.The series is recognised as the most important conference on the topic. It covers such topics as Heritage architecture and historical aspects, Regional architecture, Preservation of archaeological sites, Maritime heritage, Heritage masonry buildings, Adobe restorations, Wooden structures, Structural issues and restoration, Seismic vulnerability and vibrations, Assessment, retrofitting and reuse of heritage buildings, Surveying and monitoring, Material characterisation and problems, Simulation and modelling, New techniques and materials, Non-destructive techniques, Experimental validation and verification, Performance and maintenance, Environmental damage. Social and economic aspects, and Guidelines, codes and regulations.
Air Pollution XVI
Bringing together recent results and state-of-the-art contributions from researchers around the world, this text contains papers first presented at the 16th International Conference on the Modelling, Monitoring and Management of Air Pollution.
