Cardiac Imaging: Case Review helps you effectively prepare for
certification, recertification, and practice in cardiovascular
imaging with case studies that test your knowledge of all essential
topics. This updated medical reference book allows you to see how
to make confident, final diagnoses through accurate pattern
recognition, clinical correlation, and differential diagnosis. "I
would recommend it to any radiologist or cardiologist with more
than a passing interest in cardiovascular imaging". Reviewed by: Dr
Edward Nicol, Royal Brompton Hospital on behalf of RAD Magazine,
October 2014 Review cases organized by level of difficulty with
multiple-choice questions and answers that mimic the new format of
cardiovascular radiology certification and recertification exams.
Easily access in-depth explanations of any aspect of cardiac
imaging with handy page references to current works, including Dr.
Stephen W. Miller's Cardiac Imaging, 2nd Edition. Stay current with
the aid of updated cases covering cardiac radiology, CT, and CT
angiography. Gain a better understanding of all the material
necessary for the exam through multiple examples of each existing
heart disease entity.
Working memory is conceptualized as storage buffers, rehearsal and
executive processes. It is a crucial brain function. The processes
and mechanism of working memory in brain has eluded many since
historical time. The assessment and investigation of the brain has
given us insights to the neural correlates of the working memory.
Various factors have been implicated in the performance of the
working memory by many researchers and clinicians. We have examined
the neural correlates of the visual working memory through fMRI.
Our findings indicate that the education plays a major role in the
functioning of the brain for visual working memory. Our study thus
implies the importance of education in the cognitive functions such
as working memory. This work could be extended to other cognitive
functions.
Local governments encounter mammouth problems, and although there
is not one panacea that works internationally, this book argues
that there are mechanisms to improve the local situation and theer
is evidence that this can suceed. By considering a number of key
case studies from Latin America, Africa and Asia, the authors
review best practices in good governance, thereby demonstarting
that things can improve at the local level.
This edited book provides knowledge about hemicelluloses
biorefinery approaching production life cycle, circular economy,
and valorization by obtaining value-added bioproducts and
bioenergy. A special focus is dedicated to chemical and biochemical
compounds produced from the hemicelluloses derivatives platform.
Hemicelluloses are polysaccharides located into plant cell wall,
with diverse chemical structures and properties. It is the second
most spread organic polymer on nature and found in vast
lignocellulosic materials from agro and industrial wastes,
therefore, hemicelluloses are considered as abundant and renewable
raw material/feedstock. Biorefinery concept contributes to
hemicelluloses production associated with biomass industrial
processes. Hemicelluloses are alternative sources of sugars for
renewable fuels and as platform for chemicals production. This book
reviews chemical processes for sugar production and degradation,
obtaining of intermediate and final products, and challenges for
pentose fermentation. Aspects of hemicelluloses chain chemical and
enzymatic modifications are presented with focus on physicochemical
properties improvement for bioplastic and biomaterial approaches.
Hemicelluloses are presented as sources for advanced materials in
biomedical and pharmaceutical uses, and as hydrogel for chemical
and medicine deliveries. An interdisciplinary approach is needed to
cover all the processes involving hemicelluloses, its conversion
into final and intermediate value-added compounds, and bioenergy
production. Covering this context, this book is of interest to
teachers, students, researchers, and scientists dedicated to
biomass valorization. This book is a knowledge source of basic
aspects to advanced processing and application for graduate
students, particularly. Besides, the book serves as additional
reading material for undergraduate students (from different
courses) with a deep interest in biomass and waste conversion,
valorization, and chemical products from hemicelluloses.
