"Decision Making in Radiation Oncology" is a reference book
designed to enable radiation oncologists, including those in
training, to make diagnostic and treatment decisions effectively
and efficiently. The design is based on the belief that a picture
is worth a thousand words. Knowledge is conveyed through an
illustrative approach using algorithms, schemas, graphics, and
tables. Detailed guidelines are provided for multidisciplinary
cancer management and radiation therapy techniques. In addition to
the attention-riveting algorithms for diagnosis and treatment,
strategies for the management of disease at individual stages are
detailed for all the commonly diagnosed malignancies. Clinical
trials that have yielded gold standard treatment and their results
are documented in the schemas. Moreover, radiation techniques,
including treatment planning and delivery, are presented in an
illustrative way. This groundbreaking publication is an essential
tool for physicians in their daily clinical practice."

An authoritative work on Synthetic Aperture Radar system
engineering, with key focus on high resolution imaging, moving
target indication, and system engineering technology Synthetic
Aperture Radar (SAR) is a powerful microwave remote sensing
technique that is used to create high resolution two or
three-dimensional representations of objects, such as landscapes,
independent of weather conditions and sunlight illumination. SAR
technology is a multidisciplinary field that involves microwave
technology, antenna technology, signal processing, and image
information processing. The use of SAR technology continues grow at
a rapid pace in a variety of applications such as high-resolution
wide-swath observation, multi-azimuth information acquisition,
high-temporal information acquisition, 3-D terrain mapping, and
image quality improvement. Design Technology of Synthetic Aperture
Radar provides detailed coverage of the fundamental concepts,
theories, technology, and design of SAR systems and sub-systems.
Supported by the author's over two decades of research and practice
experience in the field, this in-depth volume systematically
describes SAR design and presents the latest research developments.
Providing examination of all topics relevant to SAR--from radar and
antenna system design to receiver technology and signal and image
information processing--this comprehensive resource: Provides
wide-ranging, up-to-date examination of all major topics related to
SAR science, systems, and software Includes guidelines to conduct
grounding system designs and analysis Offers coverage of all SAR
algorithm classes and detailed SAR algorithms suitable for enabling
software implementations Surveys SAR and computed imaging
literature of the last sixty years Emphasizes high resolution
imaging, moving target indication, and system engineering Design
Technology of Synthetic Aperture Radar is indispensable for
graduate students majoring in SAR system design, microwave antenna,
signal and information processing as well as engineers and
technicians involved in SAR system techniques.

The first book applying HBFEM to practical electronic nonlinear
field and circuit problems Examines and solves wide aspects of
practical electrical and electronic nonlinear field and circuit
problems presented by HBFEM Combines the latest research work with
essential background knowledge, providing an all-encompassing
reference for researchers, power engineers and students of applied
electromagnetics analysis There are very few books dealing with the
solution of nonlinear electric- power-related problems The contents
are based on the authors many years research and industry
experience; they approach the subject in a well-designed and
logical way It is expected that HBFEM will become a more useful and
practical technique over the next 5 years due to the HVDC power
system, renewable energy system and Smart Grid, HF magnetic used in
DC/DC converter, and Multi-pulse transformer for HVDC power supply
HBFEM can provide effective and economic solutions to R&D
product development Includes Matlab exercises
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has emerged as an
important innovative treatment for various primary and metastatic
cancers. This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account
of the physical/technological, biological, and clinical aspects of
SBRT. It will serve as a detailed resource for this rapidly
developing treatment modality. The organ sites covered include
lung, liver, spine, pancreas, prostate, adrenal, head and neck, and
female reproductive tract. Retrospective studies and prospective
clinical trials on SBRT for various organ sites from around the
world are examined, and toxicities and normal tissue constraints
are discussed. This book features unique insights from
world-renowned experts in SBRT from North America, Asia, and
Europe. It will be necessary reading for radiation oncologists,
radiation oncology residents and fellows, medical physicists,
medical physics residents, medical oncologists, surgical
oncologists, and cancer scientists.
Nasopharyngeal Cancer - Multidisciplinary Management provides a
comprehensive account of the current state of knowledge on
nasopharyngeal cancer and its multidisciplinary management. The
first ten chapters document contain essential background
information on subjects such as epidemiology, pathogenesis,
molecular biology, pathology, and the use of imaging in diagnosis
and staging. Subsequently, the various treatment options and
combinations in a range of settings are examined in depth. Detailed
attention is given to the roles of concurrent, adjuvant, and
neoadjuvant chemotherapy and advanced radiotherapy techniques.
Further chapters then explore surgical treatment, follow-up,
treatment of metastatic disease, treatment-related complications,
and nasopharyngeal cancer in children. This is an important book
that will prove essential reading for the radiation oncology
community worldwide and meet the need for substantial improvements
in knowledge of modern techniques.

her elation was cut short by an unspeakable crime. Her brothers
were found viciously killed and a series of disappearances rip her
family apart. As death knocks on her doorstep, Shade embarks on a
perilous journey through time and space in order to expose a
traitor and unravel a zealously guarded secret. Time is running
out. Shade must find the truth or witness the start of the biggest
galactic war known to man. CHILDREN OF TIME An extraordinary case.
A dangerous journey. Intriguing array of events filled with
nail-biting excitement that puts readers on chair's edge.
This textbook is designed to help the busy radiation oncologist to
accurately and confidently delineate tumor volumes for conformal
radiation therapy (including IMRT). The book provides an atlas of
clinical target volumes (CTVs) for commonly encountered cancers,
with each chapter illustrating CTV delineation on a slice-by-slice
basis, on planning CT images. Common anatomic variants for each
tumor are represented in individual illustrations, with annotations
highlighting differences in coverage. The anatomy of each site and
patterns of lymphatic drainage are discussed, and their influence
on the design of CTVs is explained in detail. Utilization of other
imaging modalities, including MRI, to delineate volumes is
highlighted. Key details of simulation and planning are briefly
reviewed. Although the emphasis is on target volume delineation for
conformal techniques, information is also provided on conventional
radiation field setup and design when IMRT is not suitable.
Agony of Choice, the life of Japanese statesman and diplomat
Matsuoka Yosuke, offers a vivid narrative of twentieth-century
Japanese diplomatic history. Matsuoka was an American-educated
Japanese foreign minister who became a vocal advocate of Japanese
expansionism in echo of the America he so admired. His promotion of
alliances and relationships with countries such as Nazi Germany and
the Soviet Union, however, not only led Japan to war with the
United States but also led to Matsuoka's involvement with and
eventual indictment for atrocities committed during the war.
Through extensive archival research and fascinating personal
interviews, David Lu explores Matsuoka's pivotal role in the drama
of Japan's withdrawal from the League of Nations, empire-building
in Asia, and the development of interwar Japanese politics.
