Across the broad spectrum that is the district health system in
South Africa today, a wide range of knowledge and expertise is
required to perform effectively and professionally. South African
family practice manual focuses on practical skills that family
physicians should obtain during their training which are required
in primary care and general practice as well as at district or
rural hospitals. South African family practice manual is a
collaborative enterprise involving family physicians and educators.
It draws on their wealth of practical experience to cover the full
spectrum of family practice from the newborn to the elderly,
including skills in both routine and emergency care. It deals
extensively with aspects of clinical examination and common
procedures, as well as key skills in the areas of communication,
clinical training and teaching, management, research and
community-oriented primary care. In this third edition, an entirely
new section on anaesthetic skills for the district hospital has
been added and there are new chapters on phototherapy, assessment
of a drunk driver and facilitating meetings to review morbidity and
mortality. South African family practice manual is aimed at medical
officers, general practitioners, interns, medical students and
associate clinicians. It is also an essential resource for all
registrars in family medicine training programmes and will be
particularly useful for those preparing for the national Fellowship
examination.
The proliferation of virtual and augmented reality technologies
into society raise significant questions for judges, legal
institutions, and policy makers. For example, when should
activities that occur in virtual worlds, or virtual images that are
projected into real space (that is, augmented reality), count as
protected First Amendment 'speech'? When should they instead count
as a nuisance or trespass? Under what circumstances would the
copying of virtual images infringe intellectual property laws, or
the output of intelligent virtual avatars be patentable inventions
or works of authorship eligible for copyright? And when should a
person (or computer) face legal consequences for allegedly harmful
virtual acts? The Research Handbook on the Law of Virtual and
Augmented Reality addresses these questions and others, drawing
upon free speech doctrine, criminal law, the law of data protection
and privacy, and of jurisdiction, as well as upon potential legal
rights for increasingly intelligent virtual avatars in VR worlds.
The Handbook offers a comprehensive look at challenges to various
legal doctrines raised by the emergence - and increasing use of -
virtual and augmented reality worlds, and at how existing law in
the USA, Europe, and other jurisdictions might apply to these
emerging technologies, or evolve to address them. It also considers
what legal questions about virtual and augmented reality are likely
to be important, not just for judges and legal scholars, but also
for the established businesses and start-ups that wish to make use
of, and help shape, these important new technologies. This
comprehensive Research Handbook will be an invaluable reference to
those looking to keep pace with the dynamic field of virtual and
augmented reality, including students and researchers studying
intellectual property law as well as legal practitioners, computer
scientists, engineers, game designers, and business owners.

This book is intended to help satisfy an urgent requirement for
up-to date comprehensive texts at graduate and senior undergraduate
levels on the subjects in non-destructive testing (NDT). The
subject matter here is confined to electrical and magnetic methods,
with emphasis on the widely used eddy current and magnetic flux
leakage methods (including particle inspection), but proper
attention is paid to other techniques, such as microwave and AC
field applications, which are rapidly growing in importance.
Theoretical analyses relating to the various methods are discussed
and the depths of presentation are often governed by whether or not
the information is readily available elsewhere. Thus, for example,
a considerable amount of space is devoted to eddy current theory at
what the author considers to be a reasonable standard and not, as
usually experienced, in either a too elementary manner or at a
level appreciated only by a postgraduate theoretical physicist. The
inclusion of the introductory chapter is intended to acquaint the
reader with some of the philosophy of NDT and to compare, briefly,
the relative performances of the more important methods of
testing."

Ultrasonic Methods of Non-Destructive Testing covers the basic
principles and practices of ultrasonic testing, starting with the
basic theory of vibration and propagation, design and properties
and probes, and then proceeding to the principles and practice of
the various ultrasonic techniques for different types of components
and structures, both metallic and non-metallic. The design and
operation of various types of equipment are covered and references
to appropriate national and international standards are provided.
Numerous applications are discussed comprehensively and special
attention is paid to latest developments. A large number of
references is provided so as to enable the reader to obtain further
information.
