Containing over one hundred and sixty line drawings, maps and one
hundred tables, this book explains the fundamental hydrologic
principles and favoured methods of analysis. Aimed at students
interested in natural resources and environmental science,
spreadsheet exercises and worked examples help to develop basic
problem solving skills.
One of the hallmarks of a master surgeon is the ability to navigate
a wide variety of inevitable difficult situations in surgery,
whether errors in judgment, technical mistakes, or unavoidable
outcomes. Under the leadership of series editor Dr. Stephen R.
Thompson, the Complications in Orthopaedics series provides
real-world guidance on recognizing and avoiding errors, as well as
how to "course-correct" during surgery. In this volume, Drs. P.
Maxwell Courtney, Yale A. Fillingham, and a team of expert surgeons
describe the most common errors and complications of adult
reconstruction surgery, focusing on the knee and hip and
demonstrating practical solutions that are integral to improving
patient outcomes. Covers key topics such as Pain Management
Following Total Hip Arthroplasty and Total Knee Arthroplasty,
Achieving Balance and Stability During a Total Knee Arthroplasty,
Unicompartmental Knee Arthoplasty, Neurovascular Injury in Total
Hip Arthroplasty, Post-operative Periprosthetic Fractures in Total
Hip Arthroplasty, Hip Preservation: Complications of PAO?, and many
more. Describes and offers solutions to the most common or most
devastating errors and complications in the practice of adult
reconstruction surgery, combining the breadth of knowledge of
academic surgeons with the in-the-trenches skills of community
surgeons. Uses an easy-to-follow, standardized chapter format that
covers preoperative errors, intraoperative issues, and
postoperative complications. Includes procedural video clips to
reinforce discussions in the text. Features a full-color design
with numerous photographs, radiographs, and illustrations. Includes
introductory material on relevant anatomy and necessary background
information. Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your
enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and
references from the book on a variety of devices.
Water Use Management, and Planning in the United States is designed
with new college classes on water resources in mind. It provides
information on hydrology, biology, geology, economics, and
geography along with historical water policies and regional
regulations. The text reflects the transdisciplinary nature of
water resources management, moving between descriptive discussions
and quantitative analysis to bridge the social and physical
sciences. Also providedare frequent case studies and examples to
illustrate real-world applications, and includes sidebars
throughout to reinforce major points. This book is a result of the
authors years of teaching, giving a prescription for an intelligent
integrated systemsapproach to water resources management.
Key Features
* Classroom tested
* Quantitative analyses are accompanied by worked examples
* Frequent case studies highlight important applications
* Sidebars reinforce major points and provide parenthetical
information
Both volumes of Parasites and Pathogens of Insects provide in-depth
coverage of the interface between insect parasites and pathogens
and hosts, and explore the relationships between these partners.
They emphasize biochemical and molecular interactions, basic
biology, and the roles of hormones, receptors, and other cellular
components in modulating interactions between host insects and
attacking agents. These topics also are assessed in relation to
biotechnology and biological control.
In the short term, these volumes fill a void in current literature
by emphasizing basic interactions at the biochemical and molecular
levels. In the long term, these interactions may provide avenues
for exploitation to enhance the rate of "beneficial" parasitism or
to reduce the rates of disease transmission and infection of
vertebrate hosts.
Key Features
* Presents the latest information on insect parasites and
pathogens
* Describes biochemical and molecular host-parasite and
host-pathogen relationships
* Covers mechanisms of insect pathogenicity and resistance
* Provides exceptional breadth of coverage and authoritative
reviews
* Special topics
* Transposable elements in insect pathogens
* Co-evolution and gene transfer between hosts and invaders
* Biological control
