This book aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to the
theory and applications of the mechanics of transversely isotropic
elastic materials. There are many reasons why it should be written.
First, the theory of transversely isotropic elastic materials is an
important branch of applied mathematics and engineering science;
but because of the difficulties caused by anisotropy, the
mathematical treatments and descriptions of individual problems
have been scattered throughout the technical literature. This often
hinders further development and applications. Hence, a text that
can present the theory and solution methodology uniformly is
necessary. Secondly, with the rapid development of modern
technologies, the theory of transversely isotropic elasticity has
become increasingly important. In addition to the fields with which
the theory has traditionally been associated, such as civil
engineering and materials engineering, many emerging technologies
have demanded the development of transversely isotropic elasticity.
Some immediate examples are thin film technology, piezoelectric
technology, functionally gradient materials technology and those
involving transversely isotropic and layered microstructures, such
as multi-layer systems and tribology mechanics of magnetic
recording devices. Thus a unified mathematical treatment and
presentation of solution methods for a wide range of mechanics
models are of primary importance to both technological and economic
progress.

Natural killer (NK) cells are important effector cells of innate
immune system implicated in many physiological processes including
elimination of cancer cells and virus infected cells. NK cells
comprise a majority of large granular lymphocytes circulating in
peripheral blood with a minority derived from T cell lineage. Even
though NK cells were first described more than 40 years ago, it was
not until the 1980s and 1990s when immunophenotyping was
incorporated into clinical diagnostic methods and resulted in
discovery of distinct disorders of large granular lymphocytes and
NK cells. Since then, significant progress was made in our better
understanding of immunophenotypic and genotypic characteristics,
biology, functions as well as disorders of these cells. Most
recently, clinical studies using NK-cell based immunotherapy have
shown promising results in treatment of some of malignant diseases.
Disorders of large granular lymphocytes and NK cells are rare
comprising only about 1% of all lymphoid malignancies in western
countries. The rarity of these conditions was a main reason that
the progress in our understanding of pathogenesis and development
of novel therapeutic approaches has been delayed compared to
development in more common B cell lymphoid malignancies. The low
incidence of these diseases and scarcity of prospective clinical
trials also limit the availability of evidence based research
literature as well as comprehensive reviews about NK cell
disorders. Thus, the editors decided to take on the challenging
task and summarize our current knowledge about malignant and benign
diseases of large granular lymphocytes in this book based on the
best available evidence. The editors selected topics most relevant
to clinical practice in order to provide a useful guide for
practicing physicians. Chapters describing four disorders (T-cell
large granular lymphocytic leukemia, chronic lymphoproliferative
disorder of NK cells, extranodal NK cell lymphoma and aggressive NK
cell leukemia) incorporated into most recent 2016 revision of
classification of lymphoid malignancies are separated into
experimental, diagnositc and clinical parts for easier
understanding and reading. We are aware of challenges and inherited
limitations of any larger project like this one due to a rapid
progress especially in the field of genomics, which may not be
incorporated in this book before it is published. The editors and
contributing authors would like to thank the publisher NOVA for
their support.
This revised and updated second edition of Handbook of Hematologic
Malignancies continues to be an essential and "go-to" resource for
the busy hematologist, hematologic oncologist, hematopathologist,
oncology advanced practice provider, oncology nurse, and trainee.
Concisely organized, each chapter provides the most current,
need-to-know points of diagnosis, prognosis, therapeutic
management, and clinical trial opportunities for each hematological
malignancy. Chapters are complete with richly illustrated figures
to highlight the hematopathologic characteristics of diseases in
addition to helpful tables on differential diagnosis, prognostic
scoring systems, molecular profiles, and therapeutic options. A new
case-based chapter concludes the handbook with clinical cases
designed to test a clinician's knowledge of pathologic diagnosis
and clinical presentation of diseases covered in the book. With
over twenty new FDA-approved indications since publication of the
first edition, including breakthroughs with CAR-T therapy, and
other evidence-based treatment options for patients with
hematologic disease, this book serves as quick reference to
practice changing information on challenging diagnostic dilemmas,
frontline and refractory treatment scenarios, and more.The
subspecialty field of hematologic oncology is ever-changing and
expanding with available treatment options and this second edition
keeps the busy clinician abreast of recent findings and their
impact on evidence-based treatment and management. Written by
experienced clinicians at the world-renowned Moffitt Cancer Center
in Tampa, Florida, as well as contributions from leading
academicians, hematologists, and oncologists throughout the
country, this unique handbook is packed with authoritative
knowledge and clinical insight into all known hematologic cancers.
Key Features: Includes seven new chapters covering CAR-T and novel
therapeutic options including CD19 CAR-T therapy, novel cellular
therapies, cytokine release syndrome, cancer associated thrombosis,
and more Comprises compact and updated disease-site chapters
describing new standards of care and management considerations in
bullet point format with key references Highlights important
diagnostic tools that assist with conducting key differential
diagnoses and unveiling answers to diagnostic dilemmas Provides
updates of potential practice-changing clinical trials and paradigm
shifting treatment considerations in each disease-based chapter
Purchase includes digital access for use on most mobile devices or
computers
On July 19, 1048, the Yellow River breached its banks, drastically
changing its course across the Hebei Plain and turning it into a
delta where the river sought a path out to the ocean. This dramatic
shift of forces in the natural world resulted from political
deliberation and hydraulic engineering of the imperial state of the
Northern Song Dynasty. It created eighty years of social suffering,
economic downturn, political upheaval, and environmental changes,
which reshaped the medieval North China Plain and challenged the
state. Ling Zhang deftly applies textual analysis, theoretical
provocation, and modern scientific data in her gripping analysis of
how these momentous events altered China's physical and political
landscapes and how its human communities adapted and survived. In
so doing, she opens up an exciting new field of research by wedding
environmental, political, economic, and social history in her
examination of one of North China's most significant environmental
changes.
