Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Designed for graduate students and researchers in the behavioral, social, health, and medical sciences, this text employs generalized linear models, including mixed models, for categorical and limited dependent variables. Categorical variables include both nominal and ordinal variables. Discrete or continuous limited dependent variables have restricted support, whether through censorship or truncation or by their nature. The book incorporates examples of truncated counts, censored continuous variables, and doubly bounded continuous variables, such as percentages.

Buch. Condición: Neu.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - As the baby boom generation ages, it is crucial that the next generation of designers understand all they can about bringing this group, as well as all others, design that will offer function, aesthetics, and quality of life. The book helps readers understand how the principles of Universal Design can be used to evaluate all products and places by showing Best Practice examples and explaining why they are universally designed. It presents a variety of user/groups in different situations and then shows design directives for meeting their needs. It includes both commercial and residential design.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Determination of Organic Compounds in Natural Waters draws together the scattered literature and presents in a systematic fashion the latest available analytical techniques for detecting organic compounds in non-saline and saline natural and treated water. Broad outlines of different methods and their applicability in certain situations are given allowing the water engineer and the chemist to choose appropriate test methods.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Skills for Communicating with Patients, Third Edition is one of two companion books on improving communication in medicine, which together provide a comprehensive approach to teaching and learning communication skills throughout all levels of medical education in both specialist and family medicine. Since their publication, the first edition of this book and its companion, Teaching and Learning Communication Skills in Medicine, have become established standard texts in communication skills teaching throughout the world. This substantially expanded third edition has been fully updated in relation to the current literature and revised to reflect the explosion of research on healthcare communication. It incorporates considerable evidence in support of the skills of the Calgary-Cambridge Guides, offering a comprehensive and now even more evidence-based delineation of the skills that make a difference when communicating with patients. The book explores the specific skills of doctor-patient communication and provides wide-ranging evidence of the improvement that those skills can make to health outcomes and everyday clinical practice. 330 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Structural Mechanics Fundamentals gives you a complete and uniform treatment of the most fundamental and essential topics in structural mechanics. Presenting a traditional subject in an updated and modernized way, it merges classical topics with ones that have taken shape in more recent times, such as duality. This book is extensively based on the introductory chapters to the author's Structural Mechanics: A Unified Approach.Coverage includes:The basic topics of geometry of areas and of kinematics and statics of rigid body systemsThe mechanics of linear elastic solids-beams, plates, and three-dimensional solids-examined using a matrix approachThe analysis of strain and stress around a material pointThe linear elastic constitutive law, with related Clapeyron's and Betti's theoremsKinematic, static, and constitutive equationsThe implication of the principle of virtual workThe Saint Venant problemThe theory of beam systems-statically determinate or indeterminateMethods of forces and energy for the examination of indeterminate beam systemsThe book draws on the author's many years of teaching experience and features a wealth of illustrations and worked examples to help explain the topics clearly yet rigorously. The book can be used as a text for senior undergraduate or graduate students in structural engineering or architecture and as a valuable reference for researchers and practicing engineers. 514 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Model Free Adaptive Control: Theory and Applications summarizes theory and applications of model-free adaptive control (MFAC). MFAC is a novel adaptive control method for the unknown discrete-time nonlinear systems with time-varying parameters and time-varying structure, and the design and analysis of MFAC merely depend on the measured input and output data of the controlled plant, which makes it more applicable for many practical plants. This book covers new concepts, including pseudo partial derivative, pseudo gradient, pseudo Jacobian matrix, and generalized Lipschitz conditions, etc.; dynamic linearization approaches for nonlinear systems, such as compact-form dynamic linearization, partial-form dynamic linearization, and full-form dynamic linearization; a series of control system design methods, including MFAC prototype, model-free adaptive predictive control, model-free adaptive iterative learning control, and the corresponding stability analysis and typical applications in practice. In addition, some other important issues related to MFAC are also discussed. They are the MFAC for complex connected systems, the modularized controller designs between MFAC and other control methods, the robustness of MFAC, and the symmetric similarity for adaptive control system design.The book is written for researchers who are interested in control theory and control engineering, senior undergraduates and graduated students in engineering and applied sciences, as well as professional engineers in process control. 398 pp. Englisch.
