Thermal convection is often encountered by scientists and engineers while designing or analyzing flows involving exchange of energy. Fundamentals of Convective Heat Transfer is a unified text that captures the physical insight into convective heat transfer and thorough, analytical, and numerical treatments. It also focuses on the latest developments in the theory of convective energy and mass transport. Aimed at graduates, senior undergraduates, and engineers involved in research and development activities, the book provides new material on boiling, including nuances of physical processes. In all the derivations, step-by-step and systematic approaches have been followed.

This book is the second volume in the Recent Advances in Forensic Medicine and Toxicology series. Volume One (9789351525585) published in 2014. Divided into five sections, the text provides specialists and trainees with the very latest advances and information in their field. The book begins with discussion on medical jurisprudence and legal issues covering issues such as medical negligence and medical evidence in victim examination. The next chapters cover clinical forensic medicine describing specific cases, and forensic pathology explaining autopsy for different scenarios. New to this volume, are two final sections which discuss advances in forensic anthropology, examination of skeletal remains, and controversies in forensic testing and investigations. Key points New volume presenting latest advances and information in forensic medicine and toxicology Covers medical jurisprudence, clinical forensic medicine and forensic pathology Volume Two features two new sections on forensic anthropology and forensic science Highly illustrated with forensic photographs, diagrams, tables and boxes

Dental caries is easily diagnosed but there is considerable difficulty in deciding the earliest stage in the progression of a carious lesion at which diagnosis can be made without reasonable doubt. Early detection and diagnosis allow the dentist to counsel and assist patients to prevent the progression of caries and thereby avert the need of invasive, irreversible removal and restoration of tooth structure.In recent years, various techniques have been explored to address the need for better detection tools to aid dentist in the diagnosis of early caries and several of these methods have been developed into commercial product. Thus the new era of dental world has provided us with newer techniques like Digital Radiography, Diagnodent, Optical Coherence Tomography, Terahertz Imaging etc. with the advantages of more reliable, accurate, sensitive, specific and inter & intra examiner accuracy. By utilizing the most conservative, reliable diagnostic methods to detect true carious lesions, the dental professional can enhance the predictability of preventive methods to control the caries process and ultimately further reduce the need for restorative treatment.

With recent technological advances, fields such as forensic odontology, forensic biology, forensic serology, forensic psychiatry and forensic pathology have been recognized as major subspecialities. Recent Advances in Forensic Medicine and Toxicology provides all the recent updates on medical jurisprudence, clinical forensic medicine and forensic pathology to help forensic specialists, as well as medical professionals who need to seek the opinion of a forensic specialist in medicolegal cases. The book is divided into 3 sections; medical jurisprudence, medical ethics, forensic pathology or toxicology. The book includes detailed debate on medicolegal examination and certification of a case of injury, medicolegal aspects of injuries, how to approach a case of poisoning, alcohol intoxication, head and neck injury, attempted strangulation, and emerging issues in sex verification and victim identification in mass disasters. Recent Advances in Forensic Medicine and Toxicology is an important and highly relevant book for residents and fellows in forensic medicine, forensic medicine specialists and medical officers. Key Points Features discussion on the legal, social and humanitarian aspects of euthanasia Up-to-date debates on expert medical evidence, legal and medical issues of medical records Over 160 full colour and black and white illustrations, images and tables

COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS is an effort to cover a range of topics, - from elementary concepts for the uninitiated students to state-of-the-art algorithms useful for the practitioners. The contents begin with preliminaries, in which the basic principles and techniques of Finite Difference (FD), Finite Volume (FV) and Finite Element (FE) methods are described using detailed mathematical treatment. The methodologies are explained systematically using step-by-step hand calculations. These introductory chapters are followed by the state-of-the-art methods and algorithms, including, Semi Implicit Pressure Linked Equations (SIMPLE) and Marker and Cell (MAC) family of algorithms that are widely adopted in various commercial codes. These advanced chapters use general forms of governing equations, boundary conditions, and initial conditions encountered in CFD. Finally, the modeling of free surface flows has been covered as a special topic. Students and practitioners - particularly in mechanical, aerospace, chemical, metallurgy and civil engineering - will benefit from this authoritative material. They will be able to apply numerical techniques to the solution of variety of fluid dynamics and heat transfer problems of industrial importance.
