This handy guide is packed full of information to support medical
students, junior doctors and other health professionals in making
an accurate diagnosis in relation to different presenting
complaints. Now in its fifth edition, the Pocketbook takes the
reader through the key steps of narrowing a differential diagnosis,
including history, examination and investigation findings. It has
been fully updated to cover the full range of common presenting
problems facing clinicians today. This book is easy-to-read and
logical, making it useful for all clinicians within a variety of
settings, from the classroom to emergency department and primary
care. This Fifth Edition covers 125 common presenting problems in
both medicine and surgery in a consistent format. Each topic
includes a list of all potential causes of the condition, colour
coded to indicate common, occasional or rare causes. Important
geographical variations are also highlighted. Two sections cover
the differential diagnosis of biochemical and haematological
disorders which provide a ready check when reviewing abnormal
results The text includes a targeted guide to the relevant general
and specific follow-up investigations which should be carried out
as appropriate. Each topic ends with a box highlighting important
learning points, or indicating symptom and signs suggestive of
significant pathology which require urgent action. A new authorial
team have thoroughly revised the contents and ensured the coverage
is entirely appropriate for the book's readership.
Pharmaceutical wastewater is now a major concern due to the
improper legislation around the globe and the poor implementation
of existing laws. This book covers the various aspects of
pharmaceutical sources, treatment technologies, and the harmful
effect on the natural environment. The book will also highlight the
concept of the 3Rs (reduce, reuse and recycle) as applied to the
treatment and resource recovery systems for pharmaceutical
treatment. The different innovative technologies will deal with
reducing the energy requirements, the physical space requirements
and impacts of treatment plants . Some case studies are included in
order to fully understand the practical aspects of the treatment
and modelling.
Numerical simulations of flow induced vibration has gained a great
of attention over the past decade. With the advancement in the
field of aero-elasticity it is now possible to obtain computational
prediction of vibrations due to the flow conditions. However
challenges are due to complexities in the description of flow
physics and non-linearity.
Middleware eases the development of distributed applications.
Expansion in the enterprise world entails integration of
heterogeneous products, and there is a demand for a balance between
performance, interoperability and security in the distributed
applications. Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) offers a
technology to build service-oriented, secure, reliable and
interoperable distributed applications. The current literature
contains few studies comparing the performance of WCF with other
technologies, but it does not address the performance of WCF in a
cross-technology communication. This book experimentally evaluates
the performance of WCF in unsecure and secure variants. It
evaluates the performance in on-machine and cross-machine
communication, and it addresses the performance of WCF's
interoperability with ASMX and Java clients. The experiments are
conducted using client and service applications in a laboratory
setting. We have measured the performance in terms of throughput,
response time, processor and memory utilization during the
experiments.The book should help the research/industry
practitioners to understand the efficient technology and promote
the research flow.
Recent advancements in Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems have
augmented research in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) capable of
providing unprecedented high precision and high fidelity sensory
data. Success of a deployed WSN largely depends on whether the
network can provide desired sensory area coverage with acceptable
network lifetime. This task becomes even more challenging if we
consider the constraints of wireless sensor networks such as low
processing power and bandwidth, limited memory and battery life,
and short radio ranges. This book addresses the problem of area
coverage estimation and enhancement in its entirety from deployment
to the operational stage of network. A hybrid sensor network, where
only a few of the nodes are mobility capable is proposed to reduce
the overall cost of the network while providing the necessary re-
configuration capabilities to reach an adequate coverage level.
This book provides design and evaluation of pragmatic solutions
that would help lower the technical barriers in the real world
deployment of long-lived hybrid WSN.
