The Farinograph Handbook: Advances in Technology, Science and Applications, Fourth Edition, highlights the instrument's changes over the last three decades. This book outlines how different farinograph models work, how to properly run a standard test and interpret the results, and the standard and unconventional applications for the instrument. This fourth edition will familiarize readers with the farinograph instrument's principles of operation and factors that affect its operation. This edition also contains new research on dough rheology, the use of results for process control in traditional bakery applications, and information on instrument maintenance and calibration. This handbook is ideal for dough rheologists, cereal scientists, food (specifically, bread) scientists, millers, grain developers, academics, researchers and students.

Bryozoans are aquatic animals that form colonies of connected individuals. They take a variety of forms: some are bushy and moss-like, some are flat and encrusting and others resemble lace. Bryozoans are mostly marine, with species found in all oceans from sublittoral to abyssal depths, but freshwater species also exist. Some bryozoans are of concern as marine-fouling organisms and invasive species, while others show promise as sources of anticancer, antiviral and antifouling substances. Written by experts in the field, Australian Bryozoa Volume 2: Taxonomy of Australian Families is the second of two volumes describing Australia's 1200 known species of bryozoans, the richest diversity of bryozoans of any country in the world. It contains detailed taxonomic data and illustrated family-level treatments, which can be used to identify specimens. It provides an authoritative reference for biology students, academics and others interested in marine biology. Features The second of two volumes (published concurrently) describing Australia's 1200 known species of bryozoans. Contains detailed taxonomic data and illustrated family-level treatments, which can be used to identify specimens. Illustrated throughout with scanning electron microscope (SEM) images showing intricate details of bryozoan biology and morphology.

Das Diagnostik-Informationssystem der Medizinischen Klinik wird seiner Zielsetzung gerecht, wenn eine Automatisierung der meist technischen Vorleistungen, die zur Erkennung, und Behandlung von Krankheiten erforderlich sind, gelingt. Je vollstandiger die Be- fundregistrierung am Kranken und in Untersuchungsproben mechani- siert ist, umso mehr ist eine Automatisierung (Definition siehe un- ten) dieser Aufgaben angezeigt. Das gilt fur Rontgen- und nuklear- medizinische Gerate ebenso wie fur die elektrocardio-, elektroence- phalo-, elektromyographische und fur die klinisch-chemische Diagno- stik. II. 1 Umfang und Progredienz der Diagnostik Die zur Diagnoseerstellung notigen Untersuchungen - von ROTHSCHUH als "Diagnostik" zusammengefasst - nehmen in der klinischen Medizin einen von Jahr zu Jahr breiteren Raum ein. 1m Januar 1969 werden in unserem Laboratorium pro Tag durchschnittlich 2 000 quantitative klinisch-chemische Analysen gegenuber weniger als 1 000 vor 3 Jahren angefordert, nicht mitgezahlt Blutbilder, Urinstaten, elektrophore- tische und serologische Untersuchungen. Damit kommen auf jeden Pati- enten pro Krankheitstag 2,3 quantitative Laborresultate, dazu aIle flinf Tage 1 Rontgenkontrolle (0,2 Bilder inclusive Durchleuchtungen /Patient/Tag) und aIle drei Wochen 1 EKG (0,05 EKG/Patient/Tag) - Abb. 2 - Bewahrte Kontrollen werden haufiger und unter different en Arznei- mitteln und/oder fUr die Intensivpflege und -behandlung regelmassi- ger gebraucht, unsichere und schwankende oder in ihrer Aussagekraft falsch bewertete Resultate werden ofter wiederholt. Nachfrage- spitzen und -tiefs erwachsen zumindest zum Teil aus arztlichen Auf- gaben und lassen sich dann anderen Gesichtspunkten nicht unterord- nen noch umorganisieren.

This second edition of the basic textbook in shipboard engineering presents the latest information on steam, gas turbine, and nuclear propulsion, as well as auxiliary systems, ship stability, and damage control. New to this edition is a section on engineering documentation.

"This book brings together nearly every aspect of grassland research in the American Southwest and is written to appeal to both academics and the general public. It refutes conventional myths about some causes of grassland change, tests hypotheses in restoration ecology, and offers new perspectives on the recovery of ecosystems free from livestock grazing. It is a book that every naturalist or ecologist should read."--Conrad Bahre, author of "A Legacy of Change"

"I expected another nature book. What I found was, to my surprise, a love story. Carl and Jane Bock visited the Research Ranch in the early 1970s and fell in love--with the Sonoita Plains, the plants and animals there, and the people who called it home. Like all good love stories, this one is full of passion and joy, excitement and disappointment, and sadness and humor. . . . With their successful blend of storytelling and scientific reporting, the Bocks share the most intimate details of their love affair and make the reader curious to learn more about this little-known land."--H. Ronald Pulliam, Institute of Ecology, University of Georgia

"Jane and Carl Bock write precisely as well as lovingly of the dynamics of the distinctive grasslands near the U.S./Mexico border in Arizona. They also bring 25 years of first-rate science to bear on their topic. Their seasoned view of ecological and perceptual changes in this community are unique and will go a long way toward healing and restoring the remaining fragments of this biome in southeastern Arizona."--Gary Paul Nabhan, author of "Cultures of Habitat
