This book reviews ionising radiation quantities and the
relationships between them and discusses the principles underlying
their measurement. The emphasis is on the determination of absorbed
dose and related dosimetric quantities.
In Theatre in Ancient Greek Society the author examines the social
setting and function of ancient Greek theatre through the thousand
years of its performance history. Instead of using written sources,
which were intended only for a small, educated section of the
population, he draws most of his evidence from a wide range of
archaeological material - from cheap, mass-produced vases and
figurines to elegant silverware produced for the dining tables of
the wealthy. This is the first study examining the function and
impact of the theatre in ancient Greek society by employing an
archaeological approach.

Perspectives in Plant Cell Recognition presents a review of recent
advances in understanding the cellular, molecular and genetic
mechanisms governing cell-cell interactions in plants. In the case
of the interaction between different cells of the same plant, most
progress has been made in the study of gametes during sexual
reproduction and the volume begins by considering this topic.
Exciting progress in the study of associations between somatic
cells crucial to coordinated tissue development is also reported.
Interactions between plant cells and cells of other organisms are
then represented by consideration of plant pathogenesis and
examples of mutual symbiosis; the study of both of these areas has
yielded significant information about this category of interaction.
In particular, the Rhizobium/legume symbiosis has been studied
extensively and the genes controlling the specificity of the
interaction and involved in creating a harmonious mutualism have
been cloned and their products identified.
The interest in materials property determination by nondestructive
means is increasing especially for in-process and in-service
inspection of structural and electronic materials and components.
Such attention is due to several factors, including increased
automation of manufacturing processes, the demand for greater
reliability in consumer products and military hardware, and more
severe demands on the performance of materials. This book
represents the proceedings for the Symposium on Nondestructive
Hethods for Haterial Property Determination held April 6 to 8,
1983, at the Hotel Hershey in Hershey, Pennsylvania. That symposium
was one of the first meetings concerned specifically with
nondestructive material property determination (characteriza tion).
Its purpose was to stimulate intercourse between researchers,
engineers, and theoreticians so as to focus upon the
multidiseiplinary problems of advancing the state of the art in
this area. The papers in the book are concerned mainly with
acoustic (including ultrasonic), magnetic, electrical, and x-ray
diffraction techniques and applications. Hany of the papers
describe well developed technologies that are currently in
practical application, while others discuss concepts which will
never emerge from the laboratory but perhaps will provide the
groundwork for more practical ideas."
Future-proof your business today for stronger performance tomorrow
The Stress Test Every Business Needs A Capital Agenda for
Confidently Facing Digital Disruption, Difficult Investors,
Recessions and Geopolitical Threats provides a comprehensive
approach to creating value and flexibility in an increasingly
volatile business environment that presents both great risks and
opportunities every day. The authors extend the banking "stress
test" concept to a company's Capital Agenda -- how executives
manage capital, execute transactions and apply corporate finance
tools to strategic and operational decisions. Having a static
Capital Agenda, however appropriate for your current market
position, is not enough in today's uncertain world. Long-term
success comes from building resilience into each element and in the
way those elements interact. The book uses a broader definition of
business stress that includes traditional macroeconomic and
geopolitical risks, as well as technological disruption, hostile
takeovers and activist shareholders. Companies that make poor
strategic decisions or underperform operationally will likely find
themselves facing great stress. And that stress is symmetric;
threats come from downside risks and from missed opportunities. The
chapters address the how and why of essential issues such as:
Formulating corporate strategy in a digital world Pre-empting
activist shareholders Restoring distressed companies to operational
and financial health Ensuring effective collaboration among
strategy, finance and operations Getting the most out of your
advisors Proactively managing intrinsic value Rigorously allocating
capital across the enterprise Acquiring and divesting for optimum
value Syncing financing decisions with business strategy and
capital market conditions Incorporating tax planning throughout the
Capital Agenda Liberating excess cash with leading working capital
management practices Aligning strategic goals and metrics to reach
your company's full potential Companies that develop strategy and
set operational priorities with a balanced Capital Agenda are best
positioned to control their own destiny. The Stress Test Every
Business Needs provides a roadmap to future-proof your business
today for stronger performance tomorrow.
In Unites States, Barett's esophagus affects about 1 percent of the
adult population. It is usually diagnosed when a person nears 50
years of age. This concise book covers causes, tests, treatment
options -- including lifestyle changes -- and prognosis for this
serious disorder. Includes references for support groups and
further reading.
This is a new release of the original 1926 edition.
Additional Editor Is A. C. Ivy. Preface By Irvine H. Page, Colin M.
MacLeod, Carl F. Schmidt, Eugene A. Stead, And David L. Thomson.

projects provide content to tredition. To support their good work,
tredition donates a portion of the proceeds from each sold copy. As
a reader of a TREDITION CLASSICS book, you support our mission to
save many of the amazing works of world literature from oblivion.
Barrett's esophagus is a condition where stomach acid damages the
esophageal lining (the lining of the tube that leads from the
throat towards the stomach). The lining is changed to a lining
similar to that of the distal parts of gastrointestinal tract. A
small percentage of Barrett's esophagus patients develop a rare but
usually fatal cancer of the esophagus (esophageal adenocarcinoma).
Barrett's esophagus is treatable. This concise book outlines the
causes, tests and available treatment options for this devastating
disease.
