Sustainable Water Treatment and Management
Sustainable Water Treatment and Management covers broad water and environmental engineering aspects relevant to water resources management as well as the treatment of storm water and wastewater. It provides a descriptive overview of complex 'black box' systems and related design issues and comprehensively discusses the design, operation, maintenance, as well as water quality monitoring and modelling of traditional and novel wetland systems. Further, it provides an analysis of asset performance, the modelling of treatment processes and the performance of existing infrastructure in both developed and developing countries as well as the sustainability and economic issues involved. The book serves as a useful reference for all concerned with the built environment, including town planners, developers, engineering technicians, water and agricultural engineers and public health workers. Features: Presents the latest research findings in wastewater treatment. Includes international case studies and multi-disciplinary research projects. Explains treatment options that are applicable to any and all climatic regions.
Pediatric Bone
The second edition of this classic reference deals exclusively with the biology and diseases of bone as they affect children. Rapid advances have been made in our understanding of the mechanisms and factors controlling the growth and development of bone, and these are discussed in detail in this book. Further, the various diseases of bone that are peculiar to children are highlighted and discussed in the light of our current knowledge with regard to causation, clinical signs and treatment. The book is aimed to provide those clinicians interested in children's diseases and basic scientists with a comprehensive resource covering the various aspects of bone health and disease in children. - Deals exclusively with bone development and diseases of children and each chapter is written by an expert in the field - Fully referenced providing an appendix of usually difficult to find information on the investigation of pediatric bone disease and reference values - Covers both the physiology of bone and mineral homeostasis in children and diseases in one book
Assessing Pain and Communication in Disorders of Consciousness
Recent advances in medicine for resuscitation and care have led to an increased number of patients that survive severe brain damage but who are poorly responsive and non-communicative at the bedside. This has led to a striking need to better characterize, understand, and manage this population who present a real challenge for the assessment of pain and for planning treatment. This edited collection provides clinicians with a guide to recent developments in research on pain perception and assessment, and the detection of consciousness and communication in patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC). With contributions from leading global researchers, the book gives an overview of issues co...
Multimodal Oscillation-based Connectivity Theory
Systems-level neuronal mechanisms that coordinate the temporally, anatomically, and functionally distributed neuronal activity into coherent cognitive operations in the human brain have remained poorly understood. In humans, neuronal oscillations and synchronization can be recorded non-invasively with electro- and magnetoencephalography (EEG and MEG) that have excellent temporal resolution and an adequate spatial resolution when combined with source-reconstruction methods. In this book, leading authors in the field describe how recent methodological advances have paved the way to several major breakthroughs in the observations of large-scale synchrony from human non-invasive MEG data. This v...
Biology, Controls and Models of Tree Volatile Organic Compound Emissions
Plant-driven volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions play a major role in atmospheric chemistry, including ozone and photochemical smog formation in the troposphere, and they extend the atmospheric lifetime of the key greenhouse gas, methane. Furthermore, condensation of photo-oxidation products of BVOCs leads to formation of secondary organic aerosols with profound implications for the earth's solar radiation budget and climate. Trees represent the plant life form that most contributes to BVOC emissions, which gives global forests a unique role in regulating atmospheric chemistry. Written by leading experts in the field, the focus is on recent advancements in understanding the controls on plant-driven BVOC emissions, including efforts to quantitatively predict emissions using computer models, particularly on elicitation of emissions under biotic and abiotic stresses, molecular mechanisms of volatile synthesis and emission and the role of emissions in plant stress tolerance.
The Aging Skeleton
The Aging Skeleton is a comprehensive and timely book on all aspects of the skeleton as it ages, including basic mechanisms and pathways as well as pathobiology. Chapters cover general aspects and models of aging, determinants and maintenance of peak bone mass, mechanisms of age-related bone loss, quantifiable manifestations of age-related bone loss, fractures, and therapeutics. - Covers all aspects of the aging skeleton in one comprehensive volume - Looks at the influence of genetics, nutrition, environment, hormones, and other factors on bone mass - Provides a thorough discussion of fractures, one of the major consequences of the aging skeleton - Reviews current therapeutic approaches and methods - Written by internationally renowned authors and edited by leaders in the field - Is the only book available on this subject
Women’s Health and Menopause
The 4th International Symposium on Women's Health and Menopause, organized by the Giovanni Lorenzini Medical Foundation (Milan, Italy and Houston, Texas) focused on the new strategies to improve the quality of life of post-menopausal women. This volume illustrates the findings of this conference and includes information on the age-related degenerative processes occurring after menopause including cardiovascular disease, cancer, fractures and dementia.
The Role of the Basal Ganglia in Somatosensory-Motor Interactions: Evidence from Neurophysiology and Behavior
This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area!

Anesthesia and Perioperative Care for Organ Transplantation
This comprehensive textbook, covering all aspects of the perioperative management of patients undergoing organ transplantation, serves as the standard reference for clinicians who care for transplant patients on a day-to-day basis as well as those who encounter organ transplantation only occasionally in their clinical practice. Anesthesia and Perioperative Care for Organ Transplantation covers transplantation of the heart, lung, liver, pancreas, and kidney, as well as multivisceral and composite tissue graft transplantations. For each kind of transplantation, the full spectrum of perioperative considerations is addressed: preoperative preparation, intraoperative anesthesia management, surgic...
