Most of us only half-listen to the public service announcements
about safety in the home. We lock our doors at night, but do little
else to change habits that may make us the next victims of the
dangerous individuals who are always on the watch for their next
opportunity. This updated paperback edition takes readers through
the mindset of predatory criminals - their motives, various plans
of attack, and way of thinking - and then teaches simple lifestyle
techniques that will help reduce the risk of becoming victimized.
Featuring a new chapter on how the Internet and social media has
radically changed how some predators operate, criminal behavior
specialists Greg Cooper and Mike King provide expert analysis based
on real-life cases, in addition to moving insights from victims and
criminals themselves. The authors make the point that the people
who commit these crimes aren't much different from the predators of
the wild, preying on the weak and unsuspecting. What makes these
individuals more dangerous than their instinctive wildlife
counterparts, however, is that they consciously choose to inflict
their will on the more vulnerable members of their own species. To
protect our loved ones and ourselves requires that we truly educate
ourselves about the predators who live in our society and then take
appropriate action. This excellent, in-depth study will help
readers lead safer lives.
Heat exchangers with minichannel and microchannel flow passages are
becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to remove large
heat fluxes under single-phase and two-phase applications. Heat
Transfer and Fluid Flow in Minichannels and Microchannels
methodically covers gas, liquid, and electrokinetic flows, as well
as flow boiling and condensation, in minichannel and microchannel
applications. Examining biomedical applications as well, the book
is an ideal reference for anyone involved in the design processes
of microchannel flow passages in a heat exchanger.
The first MATLAB-based numerical methods textbook for bioengineers
that uniquely integrates modelling concepts with statistical
analysis, while maintaining a focus on enabling the user to report
the error or uncertainty in their result. Between traditional
numerical method topics of linear modelling concepts, nonlinear
root finding, and numerical integration, chapters on hypothesis
testing, data regression and probability are interweaved. A unique
feature of the book is the inclusion of examples from clinical
trials and bioinformatics, which are not found in other numerical
methods textbooks for engineers. With a wealth of biomedical
engineering examples, case studies on topical biomedical research,
and the inclusion of end of chapter problems, this is a perfect
core text for a one-semester undergraduate course.
Reef Aquarium Success - Volume 1: Learn How To Maintain A Beautiful
Mini-Ocean Environment Within Your Tank" is Volume 1 of the
original electronic book "Reef Keeping Basics - Successful Reef
Management." To assist in the marketing and promotion of that
original book, the author - Eric V. Van Der Hope, decided to
publish a paperback version of the book. Also, because the original
electonic book comprised over 700 pages & over 300 colorful
images, it wasn't cost effective to produce as a single printed
book. Thus, "Reef Aquarium Success - Volume 1" has become part 1 of
an extremely informative and educational resource.About "Reef

Heat exchangers with minichannel and microchannel flow passages are
becoming increasingly popular because of their ability to remove
large heat fluxes under single-phase and two-phase applications.
This book serves as a sourcebook for those individuals involved in
the design processes of microchannel flow passages in a heat
exchanger.
This book manages to present its findings in a manner that is
directly useful to a designer, while a researcher is able to use
the information in developing new models, or in identifying
research needs.
Each chapter is accompanied by a real life' case study.
First book published solely dealing with heat and fluid flow in
minichannels and microchannels.
The greatest archaeological find of the 20th century, and perhaps
of all time, was the discovery in 1922 of the tomb of the Egyptian
Pharaoh Tutankhamen. Untouched for 3,300 years, the ancient tomb,
filled with spectacular treasures, raised many questions about the
legendary reign of this boy king. Recently Tut has been in the news
again. Not only has a traveling museum exhibit of his tomb's
fascinating artifacts drawn the public's attention, but also a CT
scan of his body, which provides new evidence concerning the king's
fate, has received a good deal of media attention. Based on this
new investigation, an Egyptian team of scientists and scholars has
now publicly ruled out the possibility that Tut was murdered. In
this thorough and intriguing review of all of the evidence, two law
enforcement specialists in forensics and the psychology of criminal
behavior dispute the conclusions reached by the Egyptian team.
Applying sophisticated crime-solving techniques used in the
investigation of contemporary murders, Detectives King and Cooper
make a compelling case that the cause of King Tut's death was most
likely murder. The detectives' investigation concentrates on Tut's
inner circle of close confidants. One by one, the suspects are
eliminated, due to evidence or probable cause, until in the end the
detectives focus on the most likely suspect. For readers who enjoy
mysteries, true crime, and history, Who Killed King Tut? is both an
educational read and a real page-turner.
