  • Nonlinear Ocean Dynamics

    Synthetic Aperture Radar
    • 1st Edition
    • Maged Marghany
    • English
    Nonlinear Ocean Dynamics: Synthetic Aperture Radar delivers the critical tools needed to understand the latest technology surrounding the radar imaging of nonlinear waves, particularly microwave radar, as a main source to understand, analyze and apply concepts in the field of ocean dynamic surface. Filling the gap between modern physics quantum theory and applications of radar imaging of ocean dynamic surface, this reference is packed with technical details associated with the potentiality of synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The book also includes key methods needed to extract the value-added information necessary, such as wave spectra energy, current pattern velocity, internal waves, and more. This book also reveals novel speculation of a shallow coastal front: named as Quantized Marghany's Front. Rounding out with practical simulations of 4-D wave-current interaction patterns using using radar images, the book brings an effective new source of technology and applications for today’s coastal scientists and engineers.

  • Interprofessional Collaboration for Women’s Health Issues, An Issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics

    • 1st Edition

    • William F. Rayburn + 1 more
    • English
    Consulting Editor, Dr. William Rayburn, is serving as Guest Editor for this special issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics devoted to Interprofessional Collaboration for Select Women’s Health Issues. Articles deal with the spectrum of disciplines in response to failures of interprofessional collaboration that resulted in compromises to patient quality and safety. Systematic reviews have shown that this type of learning has led to positive outcomes in relation to participant’s reactions, attitudes, knowledge/skill, behaviors, and practice, as well as patient benefits. Articles in this issue are specifically devoted to the following topics: Reproductive Rights and Women’s Mental Health: Essential Information for the Ob/Gyn; Goals for Collaborative Management of Obstetric Hemorrhage; Role of Lipid Management in women's Health Preventative Care; Stroke in Pregnancy: An Update; Treatment of Viral Infections During Pregnancy; Benign Uterine Disease: The Added Role of Imaging; Racial Differences in Pregnancy-Related Morbidity and Mortality; Psychiatric Medication Use in Pregnancy and Breastfeeding; Neuroimaging During Pregnancy and the Postpartum Period; The Midlife Transition, Depression and Its Clinical Management; and Burnout in Obstetricians-Gyneco... Its Prevalence, Identification, Prevention, and Reversal. Readers will come away with the information needed to improve patient outcomes while aiming toward goals like interprofessional faculty development that result in reducing feelings of isolation, developing a more collaborative approach, and providing opportunities to share knowledge, experiences, and ideas.

  • Macromolecular Engineering

    • 1st Edition
    • Alex Lubnin + 1 more
    • English
    Macromolecular Engineering: Design, Synthesis and Application of Polymers explores the role of macromolecular engineering in the development of polymer systems with engineered structures that offer the desired combination of properties for advanced applications. This book is organized into sections covering theory and principles, science and technology, architectures and technologies, and applications, with an emphasis on the latest advances in techniques, materials, properties, and end uses – and including recently commercialized, or soon to be commercialized, designed polymer systems. The chapters are contributed by a group of leading figures who are actively researching in the field. This is an invaluable resource for researchers and scientists interested in polymer synthesis and design, across the fields of polymer chemistry, polymer science, plastics engineering, and materials science and engineering. In industry, this book supports engineers, R&D, and scientists working on polymer design for application areas such as biomedical and healthcare, automotive and aerospace, construction and consumer goods.

  • Complexity and Complex Chemo-Electric Systems

    • 1st Edition
    • Stanislaw Sieniutycz
    • English
    Complexity and Complex Chemo-Electric Systems presents an analysis and synthesis of chemo-electric systems, providing insights on transports in electrolytes, electrode reactions, electrocatalysis, electrochemical membranes, and various aspects of heterogeneous systems and electrochemical engineering. The book describes the properties of complexity and complex chemo-electric systems as the consequence of formulations, definitions, tools, solutions and results that are often consistent with the best performance of the system. The book handles cybernetics, systems theory and advanced contemporary techniques such as optimal control, neural networks and stochastic optimizations (adaptive random search, genetic algorithms, and simulated annealing). A brief part of the book is devoted to issues such as various definitions of complexity, hierarchical structures, self-organization examples, special references, and historical issues. This resource complements Sieniutycz’ recently published book, Complexity and Complex Thermodynamic Systems, with its inclusion of complex chemo-electric systems in which complexities, emergent properties and self-organization play essential roles.
