    • English
    Annotated Atlas of Coastal and Marine Winds provides a quick-reference on major, prevailing near-surface wind systems, along with concise explanations of the features that cause these winds and a quick qualitative assessment. As accessibility to the most recent and complete atmospheric datasets is often limited, either because they are subscription-based or because they are available only in netCDF format, this book alleviates roadblocks by providing the major, prevailing near-surface wind systems, concise explanations, the features that cause these winds, and a qualitative assessment on the amount of moisture that such winds typically carry to coastal and marine scientists and engineers. This book will be an ideal resource on coastal and marine winds for a variety of professionals, including coastal scientists, marine scientists, and engineers who study phenomena that are affected directly by weather and climate.

Conceptual Nursing Care Planning shows you how to identify clinical problems, determine expected outcomes, and choose interventions — all grounded in a logical, concept-based framework. The focus on concepts gives you the big picture, helping you recognize similarities in nursing care based on physiologic concepts, as well as differences based on the needs of individuals. Written by noted nursing educators Mariann Harding and Debra Hagler, this new book demonstrates how the use of a concept-based approach and standardized clinical problems language makes it easier to plan effective care and to communicate with other members of the interprofessional team.

  • Metal-Organic Frameworks for Chemical Reactions

    From Organic Transformations to Energy Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • Anish Khan + 6 more
    • English
    Metal-Organic Frameworks for Chemical Reactions: From Organic Transformations to Energy Applications brings together the latest information on MOFs materials, covering recent technology in the field of manufacturing and design. The book covers different aspects of reactions from energy storage and catalysts, including preparation, design and characterization techniques of MOFs material and applications. This comprehensive resource is ideal for researchers and advanced students studying metal-organic frameworks in academia and industry. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are nanoporous polymers made up of inorganic metal focuses connected by natural ligands. These entities have become a hot area of research because of their exceptional physical and chemical properties that make them useful in different fields, including medicine, energy and the environment. Since combination conditions strongly affect the properties of these compounds, it is especially important to choose an appropriate synthetic technique that produces a product with homogenous morphology, small size dispersion, and high thermal stability.

  • Epidemiology of Healthcare-Associated Infections in Australia

    • 1st Edition
    • Ramon Z. Shaban + 3 more
    • English
    Endorsed by the Australasian College for Infection Prevention and Control (ACIPC) ACIPC is the peak body for infection prevention and control professionals in the Australasian region. Healthcare-associate... Infections (HAIs) are a major threat to patient safety and the quality of healthcare globally. Despite this, Australia does not have a nationally coordinated program for the surveillance and reporting of HAIs. Epidemiology of Healthcare-associate... Infections in Australia is Australia’s first peer-reviewed, evidence-based assessment of the epidemiology of HAIs using publicly available data from hospital-acquired complications (HACs), state-based surveillance systems and peer-reviewed and grey literature sources. This important work has been compiled by some of Australia’s leading infection control professionals and researchers. It will build national consensus on definitions, surveillance methodology and reporting of the incidence of HAIs. In doing so, it provides hospitals and those working in infection prevention and control an opportunity to benchmark and evaluate interventions to reduce infections and ensure transparency on reporting methods that will strengthen Australia’s efforts to prevent and control HAIs. Here is a great article published in Sydney Morning Herald on the publication of Epidemiology of Healthcare-associate... infections in Australia.
