Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book describes the basic physical principles of atomic spectroscopy and the absorption and emission of radiation in astrophysical and laboratory plasmas. It summarizes the basics of electromagnetism and thermodynamics and then describes in detail the theory of atomic spectra for complex atoms, with emphasis on astrophysical applications. Both equilibrium and non-equilibrium phenomena in plasmas are considered. The interaction between radiation and matter is described, together with various types of radiation (e.g., cyclotron, synchrotron, bremsstrahlung, Compton). The basic theory of polarization is explained, as is the theory of radiative transfer for astrophysical applications. Atomic Spectroscopy and Radiative Processes bridges the gap between basic books on atomic spectroscopy and the very specialized publications for the advanced researcher: it will provide under- and postgraduates with a clear in-depth description of theoretical aspects, supported by practical examples of applications. 444 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease, and one of the first to be successfully repaired by congenital heart surgeons. Although 'fixed', patients born with tetralogy of Fallot cannot be considered 'cured'. Improving survival and quality of life for this ever-increasing adult population will continue to challenge the current and future generations of cardiologists. Adult patients with tetralogy of Fallot should be seen by a cardiologist specializing in the care of adults with congenital heart disease, to be monitored for late complications. They need to be checked regularly for any subsequent complications or disturbances of heart rhythm. This monograph is intended as both an introduction to the subject and a timely, comprehensive review, and will be welcomed by adult cardiologists, pediatric cardiologists, internists, surgeons, obstetricians, and intensivists who wish to learn about the most recent discoveries and advances concerning tetralogy of Fallot in adults. It will also be of interest to advanced undergraduates wanting to learn more about the subject. 212 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Leprosy (Hansen's disease) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. It is one of the most disabling disorders in developing countries, with a peak incidence in the tropics and subtropics. With globalization, leprosy is now increasingly spreading to the western world. The impact of this infectious disorder is relevant for the human community due to its transmissible nature, and also important for the individual because of its debilitating consequences. Leprosy is a multifaceted systemic disease with variable presentation and clinical picture. Its identification may therefore not be straightforward, especially outside endemic areas. During its chronic course, leprosy is characterized by acute phases during which there may be exacerbation of symptoms and rapid progression of damage. When leprosy affects the eyes, nerves, and kidneys, it can represent a true medical emergency. The aim of this book is to make the reader familiar with the characteristic signs of disease, including abnormalities of the skin, nerves, eyes, hands, feet, testes, and bone. Early identification of the disease is critical to prevent patient disability and establish appropriate therapy. Emphasis will be given to the current diagnostic tools to identify and quantify the organ damage, including electrophysiology, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, laboratory tests, and histopathology. Specific topics such as leprosy and pregnancy, leprosy and HIV infection, epidemiology, and leprosy control will also be covered. 404 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Nel corso dell'accrescimento l'apparato muscolo-scheletrico va incontro a profonde e continue modificazioni che riguardano non soltanto la forma, la struttura e le dimensioni dei singoli costituenti, ma anche la capacità di resistenza allo stress e la forza muscolare espressa, le influenze ormonali e metaboliche.Le caratteristiche anatomiche e funzionali che rendono lo scheletro pediatrico diverso da quello dell'adulto condizionano anche la differente modalità di realizzarsi del danno traumatico, alla quale contribuisce anche il diverso stile di vita e le differenti occasioni di trauma, dalla frattura da parto alla 'sindrome del bambino battuto'.Le fratture incomplete, le fratture osteo-cartilaginee, i distacchi apofisari e le osteocondriti sono alcune delle specificità del trauma osteo-articolare in età pediatrica, così come l'elevata velocità di consolidazione e l'elevata attività di rimodellamento ne caratterizzano la distinzione rispetto ai corrispettivi quadri patologici nell'adulto.In questo volume vengono rappresentate le caratteristiche anatomiche peculiari dell'apparato muscolo-scheletrico in età evolutiva, le lesioni traumatiche acute e croniche tipiche dell'età e le modalità di imaging di volta in volta più idonee per la loro diagnosi e il loro follow-up. 216 pp. Italienisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -La meccanica statistica (MS) nell'insegnamente universitario e' spesso confinata in una posizione itermedia tra le tre grandi aree della fisica teorica, la fisica della materia e la fisica matematica. In genere vengono discussi gli aspetti 'pratici', di supporto alla fisica della materia, che pur importanti non esauriscono la rilevanza concettule della meccanica statistica. Esistono molti ottimi libri (Huang, Landau-Lifsits, Chandler, Peliti etc) che trattano in modo dettagliato gli aspetti tecnici della meccanica statistica. Lo scopo del nostro libro non e' quello di presentare metodi (esatti ed approssimati) per determinare le proprietà termodinamiche a partire dalle interazioni microscopiche, quanto discutere alcuni aspetti concettuali della meccanica statistica che sono spesso poco trattati. In particolare:1- Il ruolo dell'ipotesi ergodica2- L'importanza dei tanti gradi di libertà per le leggi statistiche3- L'interpretazione degli ensemble in termini di probabilità;4- L'irreversibilità macroscopica5- L'utilizzo della meccanica statistica per provare l'ipotesi atomistica e la determinazione delle scale (spaziali ed egernetiche) del mondo microscopico. 144 pp. Italienisch.…
