This book describes seven areas in the field of biotechnology
operations as practiced by biopharmaceutical firms and nonprofit
institutions. Revisions focus upon changes that have occurred in
several areas over the past six years, with emphasis on regulatory,
biomanufacturing, clinical and technical information, along with
processes and guidlines that have added to the discipline. Examples
are increased for new technical fields such as cell and tissue
engineering. Further, illustrations or figures are added to each
chapter to emphasize particular points.
Advances in scientific computing have made modelling and simulation
an important part of the decision-making process in engineering,
science, and public policy. This book provides a comprehensive and
systematic development of the basic concepts, principles, and
procedures for verification and validation of models and
simulations. The emphasis is placed on models that are described by
partial differential and integral equations and the simulations
that result from their numerical solution. The methods described
can be applied to a wide range of technical fields, from the
physical sciences, engineering and technology and industry, through
to environmental regulations and safety, product and plant safety,
financial investing, and governmental regulations. This book will
be genuinely welcomed by researchers, practitioners, and decision
makers in a broad range of fields, who seek to improve the
credibility and reliability of simulation results. It will also be
appropriate either for university courses or for independent study.
This book describes the methods and attributes required for the
compe tent quality control of the data acquisition of a seismic
exploration crew operating on land. Although the book is concerned
mainly with explo ration for oil and gas reservoirs, and all the
topics that are discussed in it are centred on that target, the
material is applicable to other areas of seismic exploration such
as civil engineering and the search for other minerals. The book
comprises the distillation of more than thirty years' experience in
geophysical exploration in all its aspects and in many parts of the
world. Seismic data acquisition quality supervision is one aspect
of geophysical exploration which, although of great importance, has
had, so far as the writer is aware, no textbook devoted to it. It
is hoped that it will be of interest to anyone who is engaged, in
whatever capacity, in geophysical exploration and will help them to
attain their goal, which is illustrated in Fig. 1. 1. The term
birddog is colloquial in the geophysical exploration industry. It
is a convenient shorthand title to describe the person whose full
title is, and who acts as, the data acquisition quality control
supervisor on a field seismic exploration crew. The term is used
also to describe the person who is the client's representative on
the field crew. In practice the same person performs both functions
on behalf of the client."
Fifty years after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution and the
establishment of a Marxist-Leninist regime in Cuba, the two
fundamental dimensions of this historical phenomenon are the
survival of the system created by Fidel Castro and the policy of
the United States to terminate it. Less known is the relationship
of Cuba with other international actors. Most especially there is a
certain vacuum in the literature dedicated to the link between Cuba
and Europe and most specifically with some prominent European
states, Spain in the lead. And the same time, even less studied, is
the connection with the collective body known as the European Union
(UE). This book reflects on this fascinating quadrangular
relationship in the eve of the 50th anniversary of the Cuban
Revolution.
Leading medical experts from the military and other branches of
government comprehensively review the possible infectious disease
and chemical agents that can be used in terrorist attack and the
proper diagnostic and therapeutic methods for dealing with them.
The book also discusses treating blast injuries, the effects of
nuclear and radiological weapons, and the psychological effects of
terrorist events. Comprehensive and up-to-date, Physician's Guide
to Terrorist Attack provides physicians, health care workers, and
emergency personnel with a practical handbook for confidently and
effectively diagnosing and managing the victims of terrorist
attack.

Plasmonics is entering the curriculum of many universities, either
as a stand alone subject, or as part of some course or courses.
Nanotechnology institutes have been, and are being, established in
universities, in which plasmonics is a significant topic of
research. Modern Plasmonics offers a comprehensive presentation of
the properties of surface plasmon polaritons, in systems of
different structures and various natures, e.g. active, nonlinear,
graded, theoretical/computational and experimental techniques for
studying them, and their use in a variety of applications.
The crisis of Spartan power in the first half of the fourth
century has been connected to Spartan inability to manage the
hegemony built on the ruins of the Athenian Empire, or interpreted
as a result of the unexpected annihilation of the Spartan army by
the Boeotians at Leuktra. The present book offers a new
perspective, suggesting that the crisis that finally brought down
Sparta was in important ways a result of centrifugal impulses
within the Peloponnesian League, accompanied by a general awakening
of ethnicity in various areas of the Peloponnese.
A series of regional case studies is combined with thematic
contributions focusing on topics such as the relationship of
religious cults and ethnicity and of democracy and ethnicity, the
use of archaeological evidence for ethnic phenomena, and
comparative approaches based on social anthropology.
Cardiff was born January 15, 1830. On that date the post office,
established in Christian Hollow two years before, was officially
named as requested by the Post Office Department. Roy takes us on a
tour of the many buildings and homes of the hamlet of Cardiff, NY.
Today, little of the hamlet exists.
