This book contains a series of clinical cases that address and
illustrate difficult problems in obstetric ultrasound. The approach
is strongly didactic and will aid trainees in maternal-fetal
medicine and obstetrics to appreciate potential pitfalls and
recognize rare presentations. Each case sets out one page of text,
then one of treatment algorithms, and then presents sample
ultrasound scans. Learning objectives are given for each case,
together with a short list of references and background reading.

Membrane materials allow for the selective separation of gas and
vapour and for ion transport. Materials research and development
continues to drive improvements in the design, manufacture and
integration of membrane technologies as critical components in both
sustainable energy and clean industry applications. Membrane
utilisation offers process simplification and intensification in
industry, providing low-cost, and efficient and reliable operation,
and contributing towards emissions reductions and energy security.
Advanced membrane science and technology for sustainable energy and
environmental applications presents a comprehensive review of
membrane utilisation and integration within energy and
environmental industries. Part one introduces the topic of membrane
science and engineering, from the fundamentals of membrane
processes and separation to membrane characterization and economic
analysis. Part two focuses on membrane utilisation for carbon
dioxide (CO2) capture in coal and gas power plants, including pre-
and post-combustion and oxygen transport technologies. Part three
reviews membranes for the petrochemical industry, with chapters
covering hydrocarbon fuel, natural gas and synthesis gas
processing, as well as advanced biofuels production. Part four
covers membranes for alternative energy applications and energy
storage, such as membrane technology for redox and lithium
batteries, fuel cells and hydrogen production. Finally, part five
discusses membranes utilisation in industrial and environmental
applications, including microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and
forward osmosis, as well as water, wastewater and nuclear power
applications. With its distinguished editors and team of expert
contributors, Advanced membrane science and technology for
sustainable energy and environmental applications is an essential
reference for membrane and materials engineers and manufacturers,
as well as researchers and academics interested in this field.
As fast-evolving technologies transform everyday communication and
literacy practices, many young children find themselves immersed in
multiple digital media from birth. Such rapid technological change
has consequences for the development of early literacy, and the
ways in which parents and educators are able to equip today's young
citizens for a digital future. This seminal Handbook fulfils an
urgent need to consider how digital technologies are impacting the
lives and learning of young children; and how childhood experiences
of using digital resources can serve as the foundation for present
and future development. Considering children aged 0-8 years,
chapters explore the diversity of young children's literacy skills,
practices and expertise across digital tools, technologies and
media, in varied contexts, settings and countries. The Handbook
explores six significant areas: Part I presents an overview of
research into young children's digital literacy practices, touching
on a range of theoretical, methodological and ethical approaches.
Part II considers young children's reading, writing and
meaning-making when using digital media at home and in the wider
community. Part III offers an overview of key challenges for early
childhood education presented by digital literacy, and discusses
political positioning and curricula. Part IV focuses on the
multimodal and multi-sensory textual landscape of contemporary
literary practices, and how children learn to read and write with
and across media. Part V considers how digital technologies both
influence and are influenced by children's online and offline
social relationships. Part VI draws together themes from across the
Handbook, to propose an agenda for future research into digital
literacies in early childhood. A timely resource identifying and
exploring pedagogies designed to bolster young children's digital
and multimodal literacy practices, this key text will be of
interest to early childhood educators, researchers and
policy-makers.
