This book performs a distinct introduction to the pathology of the placenta and its membranes, abortion material included, with the aim to facilitate and protect the quality of the morphological placental diagnostics by the pathologists. Seven chapters with coloured figures illustrating gross anatomy, development and maturation of the placenta explain the functional morphology in its clinical correlation of single and multiple findings for the pathologists, obstetricians and neonatologists. Moreover, the book contributes to a better understanding of pre- and perinatal investigations, maternal diseases, fetal outcomes and follow up of the newborns, as well as to the prevention of worse outcome in further pregnancies. The atlas intends to stimulate the interest for perinatal pathology and to contribute to a better interdisciplinary understanding of pathologists and clinicians, midwives and nurses.

In recent years, there has been an increased interest in the use of polarization effects for radar and electromagnetic imaging problems (References 1, 2, and 3). The problem of electro magnetic imaging can be divided into the following areas: (1) Propagation of the Stokes' vector from the transmitter to the target region through various atmospheric conditions (rain, dust, fog, clouds, turbulence, etc.). (2) Scattering of the Stokes' vector from the object. (3) Scattering of the Stokes' vector from the rough surface, terrain, and the volume scattering. (4) Propagation of the Stokes' vector from the target region to the receiver. (5) The characteristics of the receiver relating the Stokes' vector to the output. The propagation characteristics of the Stokes' vector through various media can be described by the equation of transfer. Even though the scalar equation of transfer has been studied extensively in the past, the vector equation of transfer has not received as much attention. In recent years, however, a need for further study of the vector radiative transfer theory has become increasingly evident and several important studies have been reported. This paper presents a general formulation of the vector theory of radiative transfer under general anisotropic scattering conditions. Some useful solutions are also presented 4 8 for several practical situations. - 2. GENERAL FORMULATION OF VECTOR RADIATIVE TRANSFER THEORY Let us consider the plane-parallel problem Shovlll in Figure 1.

These books have been written because Greg Olney cares about the Commitment to Change (C2C) that comes about in each person. It remains important in these series of books that great change (in quality rather than actual size of change) happens in each person's life. Come learn to reverse-engineer your attitudes and behaviors. Take your attitudes and behaviors apart piece by piece and understand how they work. Shovel out your legacy-thinking and replace the incorrect and incomplete construction of yourself, your family, and your business so that you can function as you were originally designed. Finish your life better than you began and commit to winning the Transition Game. Commitment is only the final piece in the whole Transition Game model. C2C covers the Consideration that brings Certainty and guidance from the Charter that brings Character. You can read the last chapter of this book about Jim and Janette Schueller and gain the whole perspective about what it takes to live a fulfilled life where transition is done well and Commitment to Change is achieved. Jim and Janette's lives are a success story. They won the battle with this world and they are an example that we all can follow. Join the author as he explores each facet of their Commitment to Change.

Dieses Buch ist bewu t in aller Knappheit geschrieben f r all diejenigen, die wenig Zeit haben bzw. keine Lust haben, lange die Nadel im Heuhaufen zu suchen. Wenige und klare Worte bedeuten auch Ruhe und Frieden, als Gegensatz zu all dem vielen Geplapper und Gerede in der Welt. Sie finden hier eine Anleitung zum Finden des inneren Friedens - der Quelle ihrer Liebe und ihres Seins. Viele Menschen bekommen schon in fr hen Jahren ihres Lebens vermittelt, dass Stress und viel Arbeit lebenswichtig sind, damit was aus dir wird " Dies ist aber nur eine Teilwahrheit. In der Ruhe liegt die Kraft" ist nur einer von vielen Aphorismen, die erahnen lassen, wie wichtig das t gliche leben eines Friedens f r uns ist. Hat man den inneren Frieden einmal entdeckt, ist er wie eine Burg, uneinnehmbar und besonnen ruhend auf der Spitze eines Berges ihre Bewohner sch tzend.
