Presents a study of complex formation between gadolinium(III) and carboxylate-containing ligands which investigates the factors that govern the magnetic coupling in the digadolinium(III) units.

The presence of multiple cancers in one patient has excited the interest of many investigators, and considerable literature has accumulated on this subject. This book deals with the scientific concepts and clinical importance of field cancerization. It is of interest to oncologists and cancer researchers and caregivers.

Presents the development of optoelectronic devices for the measurement of physical magnitudes, such as electromagnetic radiation intensity with spatial resolution, acoustic signal spectrum, magnitudes of the displacement, and kinetics of chemical reactions.

The Strait of Gibraltar is the unique and narrow connection between the Mediterranean basin and the open Atlantic Ocean. This book presents a review of the findings, along with some directions for future research necessary to enhance our knowledge of the tidal influence on the inter-basin biogeochemical budget.

Ventricular fibrillation is a cause of cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death. This book presents research from across the globe in the study of ventricular fibrillation and acute coronary syndrome, including clopidogrel response in acute coronary syndrome; and, primary ventricular fibrillation in 'tako-tsubo' syndrome.

Examines the lessons and recommendations relating to the Presidency of George W Bush.

The totality of an individual's behavioural and emotional characteristics are their personality traits. This book discusses research in the study of personality traits, including addictive disorders and personality disorders; cognitive and biological markers of schizophrenia; and, the genetics of personality disorders.

Discribes methods used for the detection of DNA hybridisation process, including electrochemical, optical scattering, surface plasmon resonance, nanogravimetric, and fluorimetric and discusses their application in assays assessing DNA damage.

Discusses the problem of finding a face recognition system that works well both under variable illumination conditions and under strictly controlled acquisition conditions. This title explores information fusion techniques that have been widely developed in the community of voice biometrics.

Stem cells are the building blocks of the body. They can develop into any of the cells that make up our bodies. This book provides an overview and analysis of developments in stem cell research and therapy.

For the thirty-four million people living in Sudan, environmental pollution is a major concern throughout the country; therefore industry, communities, local authorities and central government should adopt an integrated approach in order to deal with pollution issues. This book offers pertinent information regarding Sudan's water supply.

Contains material relevant for students and researchers interested in the basic science of infectious diseases. This book describes the structures of various pathogenic microbes. It provides a description of a number of infectious diseases, particularly those of the respiratory system and prion-related infections.

Presents and discusses research which examines how obstetric morbidities are associated with obesity. This book discusses how scanning obese patients is one of the major challenges of sonographers and it limits their ability to fully evaluate an individual's condition in general and anatomy survey in particular.

Microbial ecology is the interrelationship between micro-organisms and their environment. Due to the high level of horizontal gene transfer among microbial communities, microbial ecology is also of importance to studies of evolution. This book identifies the theory and applications of an integrated approach to microbial ecology of tropical soil.

Polymers are considered as nanocomposite matrix only, possessing, as a rule, an invariable structure. In many respects this situation is explained by the absence of a quantitative structural model of polymers amorphous state. This book examines polymer nanocomposites filled by inorganic nanofillers.

Microtopographic features, such as natural depressions, wetlands, and raised roads, are very important in regulating watershed energy and water fluxes. This book discusses how to develop and use hydrologic models to quantify effects of microtopographic features on energy and water fluxes at watershed scale.

Osteoporosis is likely to become one of the major health burdens of the coming decades. This book discusses aspects of osteoporosis research, as well as emerging topics like the relation between osteoporosis and depression, or the therapy with anti-epileptic drugs and the loss of bone density.

People with substance abuse problems often depend on Medicaid to pay for treatment. Now entering its second 50 years, Medicaid is a unique partnership of federal and state agencies financing health care services for low income people. This book summarises the provisions of Medicaid of most relevance to substance abuse treatment.

Presents topical research in the study of the causes, types and treatment options for dysplasia. In this title, topics discussed include colonic polyps and hereditary polyposis syndromes; developmental hip dysplasia; and the causes and treatment options for bone dysplasia.

Presents research in the field of applied mathematics. In this title, topics discussed include dual bounds in convex and nonconvex differentiable optimisation problems and applications; direct numerical simulation; analysis and classification of the irregulat koch curve; and interface wave diffraction by a thin vertical barrier.

Compiles biographical sketches of top professionals in the field of anatomy and physiology research, as well as research summaries from a number of different focuses in these important fields.

Percutaneous valve technology has received tremendous interest in the last few years from both clinicians and public as a direct result of advancements in endovascular techniques that made this technology a potential option and a promising reality. This book reviews this medical technology from various different aspects.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) provides positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) data to users world-wide. This book discusses the Department of Defense's plans to develop and purchase new satellites and also the challenges in sustaining and upgrading the GPS.

Presents research in the field of applied mathematics. In this book, topics discussed include non-gauge invariant cubic non-linear schrodinger equations; geometric aspects of sturm-liouville problems; soliton perturbation theory for the generalised equal width equation; and general non-linear variational-like inequality in reflexive banach spaces.

Presents a comprehensive overview of what happened to death in the last decades since the taboo against death has been lifted. This book is based on contributions from experts in different disciplines from the US, Europe and Israel, each focused on treating the death situation from a specific point of view.

Stationary sources account for 69 per cent of US emissions of greenhouse gases. This book provides background on stationary sources of greenhouse gas pollution and identifies options Congress has at its disposal to address the issues.
