This book has its roots in a series of collaborations in the last
decade at the interface between statistical physics and cosmology.
The speci?c problem which initiated this research was the study of
the clustering properties of galaxies as revealed by large redshift
surveys, a context in which concepts of modern statistical physics
(e. g. scale-invariance, fractality. . ) ?nd ready application. In
recent years we have considerably broadened the range of problems
in cosmology which we have addressed, treating in particular more
theoretical issues about the statistical properties of standard
cosmological models. What is common to all this research, however,
is that it is informed by a perspective and methodology which is
that of statistical physics. We can say that, beyond its speci?c
scienti?c content, this book has an underlying thesis: such
interdisciplinary research is an exciting playground for
statistical physics, and one which can bring new and useful
insights into cosmology. The book does not represent a ?nal point,
but in our view, a marker in the development of this kind of
research, which we believe can go very much further in the future.
Indeed as we complete this book, new developments - which
unfortunately we have not been able to include here - have been
made on some of the themes described here. Our focus in this book
is on the problem of structure in cosmology.
Selected as a Doody's Core Title for 2022! Covering every problem
encountered in today's intensive care unit, this leading critical
care textbook presents the knowledge and expertise of more than 350
global experts in this fast-changing field. Beginning with the
social aspects of medicine, it then discusses monitoring and organ
system pathobiology followed by specific diseases states/syndromes.
Each chapter begins with immediate concerns and proceeds to
broader-based discussions of relevant pathophysiologic and clinical
issues. KEY FEATURES: Features new chapters on Critical Care
Implications in Acute Care Surgery, The Obstetric Patient, and
Brain Death and Management of the Potential Organ Donor; all
chapters thoroughly revised including up-to-date discussions of
what happens after the patient leaves the ICU. Covers surgical
critical care more thoroughly than any other text. Includes expert
coverage of pharmacology, nutrition, toxicology and the
environment, disaster management, point-of-care testing, bedside
ultrasound, surgical infections, and much more. Presents
information in a reader-friendly manner, streamlining the print
text to focus on the material most important for bedside care in
the ICU. Expertly edited by leaders in every area of critical care:
Dr. Mihae Yu (surgery), Dr. A. Joseph Layon (internal medicine),
and Drs. Layon and Andrea Gabrielli (anesthesiology), who are
joined in this edition by Dr. Kenneth Wood (internal medicine).
