Providing clinicians with a comprehensive, evidence-based summary
of musculoskeletal health in pregnancy and postpartum, this is the
first book of its kind to describe the physiologic changes,
prevalence, etiology, diagnostic strategies, and effective
treatments for the most common musculoskeletal clinical conditions
encountered during this phase of life. Lumbopelvic pain, upper and
lower extremity diagnoses, labor and delivery considerations,
including the impact on the pelvic floor, and medical therapeutics
will be discussed. Additionally, the importance and influence of
exercise in pregnancy, the long-term implications of
musculoskeletal health in pregnancy and current and future
directions for research will be addressed. The childbearing period
is a time of remarkable reproductive and musculoskeletal change,
predisposing women to potential injury, pain, and resultant
disability. Musculoskeletal Health in Pregnancy and Postpartum
offers musculoskeletal medicine specialists, obstetricians and any
clinicians involved in the care of pregnant or postpartum women the
tools necessary to prepare for, treat and prevent these concurrent
injuries during an already challenging time.
Since the election of Richard Nixon in 1968 to Donald Trump's
victory in 2016, both presidential campaigns and television news
have undergone significant changes, perhaps most noticeably in the
use of public opinion polls in campaign reporting by the national
evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC. The Influence of Polls on
Television News Coverage of Presidential Campaigns explores how
during the past 50 years the three networks have quadrupled their
use of polls during general election campaigns while the amount of
time spent covering the actual issues facing the nation has
dwindled. The increasing focus on polls over the years by
television news has resulted in an overall diminished quality of
journalism which is relying more and more on sensationalism and
theatrics. The competition between the candidates has become a
central focus of reporting, which has led to presidential campaigns
being covered like sporting events. Major party candidates are
portrayed increasingly less like potential leaders of the free
world and more like athletes who are winning or losing a ballgame.
The problem is not exit polls prematurely projecting a winner
several hours before voting ends, but pre-election polls which do
the same thing weeks before Election Day. Recommended for scholars
interested in communication, political science, history, and
sociology.
This book is about the role of negotiation in resolving terrorist
barricade hostage crises. What lessons can be learned from past
deadly incidents so that crisis negotiators and decision makers can
act with greater effectiveness in the future? What are the lessons
the terrorists are learning and how will they affect the dynamics
of future incidents? What can we learn about the terrorist threat,
and about preventing the escalation of future terrorist
hostage-taking situations? While there are many trained crisis
negotiators around the world, almost none of them has ever had
contact with a terrorist hostage-taking incident. Further, the
entire training program of most hostage negotiators focuses on
resolving crises that do not take into consideration issues such as
ideology, religion, or the differing sets of strategic objectives
and mindsets of ideological hostage takers. This is especially true
with regard to the terrorists of the "new" breed, who have become
less discriminate, more lethal, and more willing to execute
hostages and die during the incident. Further, many of the
paradigms and presumptions upon which the contemporary practice of
crisis negotiation is based do not reflect the reality of the "new
terrorists." The main focus of this book is on the detailed
reconstruction and analysis of the two most high-profile cases in
recent years, the Moscow theater and the Beslan school hostage
crises, with a clear purpose of drawing lessons for hostage
negotiation strategies in the future. This is an issue of top
priority. Terrorist manuals from countries such as Saudi Arabia and
Iraq reveal that terrorist organizations are very closely observing
and analyzing the lessons learned fromthese two incidents,
suggesting that we are likely to see this type of "new" terrorist
hostage taking involving large numbers of suicide fighters and
executions of hostages at some point in the future. This raises a
wide array of questions about appropriate responses and negotiation
strategies. From the first glance, it is clear that we are not
prepared.
Estuaries occur along many of the world s coastlines
irrespective of geologic setting, energy regime, and depositional
environment. They represent the interface between fluvial, coastal
and marine environments and they contain the sedimentary record of
geological changes among these systems. However, detailed case
studies on the morphodynamics and sedimentary evolution of
different estuarine environments are notably lacking.
This book focuses on the use of high-resolution geophysical
techniques, field observations and modeling to investigate the
morphodynamics of estuaries on both glaciated and non-glaciated
coasts and on different time scales. Papers in this book offer a
new approach to nearshore and estuary studies, with an emphasis on
multidisciplinary techniques and data integration. Results of these
studies have important implications for estuary resource management
and shoreline stability. This book will be of interest to
sedimentologists, coastal and Quaternary geologists, environmental
scientists, and coastal managers."
Salt marshes are highly dynamic and important ecosystems that
dampen impacts of coastal storms and are an integral part of tidal
wetland systems, which sequester half of all global marine carbon.
They are now being threatened due to sea-level rise, decreased
sediment influx, and human encroachment. This book provides a
comprehensive review of the latest salt marsh science,
investigating their functions and how they are responding to
stresses through formation of salt pannes and pools, headward
erosion of tidal creeks, marsh-edge erosion, ice-fracturing, and
ice-rafted sedimentation. Written by experts in marsh ecology,
coastal geomorphology, wetland biology, estuarine hydrodynamics,
and coastal sedimentation, it provides a multidisciplinary summary
of recent advancements in our knowledge of salt marshes. The future
of wetlands and potential deterioration of salt marshes is also
considered, providing a go-to reference for graduate students and
researchers studying these coastal systems, as well as marsh
managers and restoration scientists.

Drawing on their experiences in successfully executing hundreds of
MEMS development projects, the authors present the first practical
guide to navigating the technical and business challenges of MEMS
product development, from the initial concept stage all the way to
commercialization. The strategies and tactics presented, when
practiced diligently, can shorten development timelines, help avoid
common pitfalls, and improve the odds of success, especially when
resources are limited. MEMS Product Development illuminates what it
really takes to develop a novel MEMS product so that innovators,
designers, entrepreneurs, product managers, investors, and
executives may properly prepare their companies to succeed.
The book examines the building, mosaics, objects, and mosaic
inscriptions found at the site of a sixth-century monastery at
Beth-Shan. The mosaic floors are described in particular detail,
with reference to comparable mosaics elsewhere in Palestine.
Translations are given of the inscriptions within the
mosaics.Publications of the Palestine Section of the University

Until now, studies of dental and skeletal growth and development
have often been treated as independent disciplines within the
literature. Human Growth in the Past takes a fresh perspective by
bringing together these two related fields of inquiry in a single
volume whose purpose is to place methodological issues of growth
and development in past populations within a strong theoretical
framework. Contributions examine a variety of aspects of human
growth in the past, drawing from both paleoanthropological and
bioarchaeological data. The book covers a wide spectrum of topics,
from patterns of growth in humans and their close relatives,
innovative methods and applications of techniques and models for
the study of growth, to estimation of age-at-death in subadults and
infant mortality in archaeological samples. Human Growth in the
Past will be of interest to biological anthropologists, and those
in the related fields of dental anatomy, evolutionary biology, and
developmental biology.

Transistors play a central role in many electronic circuits, where
they usually function as either a switch or an amplifier. This book
reviews research in the field of transistors including a new class
of transistors whose channels are made from semiconducting carbon
nanomaterials; the evolution of these designs and the highlights of
the work that has driven their development. Also discussed, herein,
are the electronic properties and self-consistent simulations of
carbon nanotubes in transistor technology; the future developments
in the nanowire field-effect transistor research area; the
implementation of chaotic oscillators by using transistors designed
with CMOS integrated circuit technology and others.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most
prevalent childhood psychiatric disorders of our time. The
condition is defined by levels of inattention, hyperactivity and
impulsivity that are in impairing and developmentally
inappropriate. Increasingly, there is a growing appreciation that
for many individuals the disorder may persist into adulthood and be
associated with significant social and economic burden.
Conditions, such as ADHD, that are manifestly heterogeneous in
terms of their clinical presentation, underlying neurobiology and
treatment response, must be tackled on multiple fronts. This
Handbook of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder provides a
state of the art position on each of these fronts from leading
clinicians and researchers from around the world. Broad in its
scope and comprehensive in its detail, this book should be as
useful to the student as it is to the experienced clinician or
researcher.
