  • Randomly Deployed Wireless Sensor Networks

    • 1st Edition
    • Xi Chen
    • English
    Wireless sensor networks have a range of applications, including military uses and in environmental monitoring. When an area of interest is inaccessible by conventional means, such a network can be deployed in ways resulting in a random distribution of the sensors. Randomly Deployed Wireless Sensor Networks offers a probabilistic method to model and analyze these networks. The book considers the network design, coverage, target detection, localization and tracking of sensors in randomly deployed wireless networks, and proposes a stochastic model. It quantifies the relationship between parameters of the network and its performance, and puts forward a communication protocol. The title provides analyses and formulas, giving engineering insight into randomly deployed wireless sensor networks. Five chapters consider the analysis of coverage performance; working modes and scheduling mechanisms; the relationship between sensor behavior and network performance properties; probabilistic forwarding routing protocols; localization methods for multiple targets and target number estimation; and experiments on target localization and tracking with a Mica sensor system.

  • Encyclopedia of the World’s Biomes

    • 1st Edition
    • Michael I. Goldstein + 1 more
    • English
    Encyclopedia of the World’s Biomes is a unique, five volume reference that provides a global synthesis of biomes, including the latest science. All of the book's chapters follow a common thematic order that spans biodiversity importance, principal anthropogenic stressors and trends, changing climatic conditions, and conservation strategies for maintaining biomes in an increasingly human-dominated world. This work is a one-stop shop that gives users access to up-to-date, informative articles that go deeper in content than any currently available publication.

  • Meningiomas, Part I

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 169
    • Michael W. McDermott
    • English
    Meningiomas, Volume 169, Part One, serves as a comprehensive review of the neurosurgical issues surrounding this extremely common brain tumor. Few procedures in surgery are more immediately formidable than an attack upon a large tumor of this type. In this volume of the Handbook of Clinical Neurology, experts in the field - from basic scientists to skilled neurosurgeons - have provided up-to-date synopses of each topic as it relates to this class of tumor. Surgical and radiation therapy, which remain the mainstays of treatment, are a major focus, but coverage also includes potential molecular avenues for the development of effective medical treatments.

  • Regional Geology and Tectonics: Principles of Geologic Analysis

    Volume 1: Principles of Geologic Analysis
    • 2nd Edition
    • Nicola Scarselli + 2 more
    • English
    Regional Geology and Tectonics: Principles of Geologic Analysis, 2nd edition is the first in a three-volume series covering Phanerozoic regional geology and tectonics. The new edition provides updates to the first edition’s detailed overview of geologic processes, and includes new sections on plate tectonics, petroleum systems, and new methods of geological analysis. This book provides both professionals and students with the basic principles necessary to grasp the conceptual approaches to hydrocarbon exploration in a wide variety of geological settings globally.

  • Nanoengineered Biomaterials for Advanced Drug Delivery

    • 1st Edition
    • Masoud Mozafari
    • English
    Nanoengineered Biomaterials for Advanced Drug Delivery explores the latest advances in the applications of nanoengineered biomaterials in drug delivery systems. The book covers a wide range of biomaterials and nanotechnology techniques that have been used for the delivery of different biological molecules and drugs in the human body. It is an important resource for biomaterials scientists and engineers working in biomedicine and those wanting to learn more on how nanoengineered biomaterials are being used to enhance drug delivery for a variety of diseases. Nanoengineered biomaterials have enhanced properties that make them more effective than conventional biomaterials as both drug delivery agents, and in the creation of new drug delivery systems. As nanoengineering becomes more cost-effective, nanoengineered biomaterials have become more widely used within biomedicine.

  • Lenguaje NIC para el aprendizaje teórico-práctico en enfermería

    • 2nd Edition
    • Rosa Rifà Ros + 2 more
    • Spanish
    Nueva edición actualizada que recoge las intervenciones de la séptima edición de la Clasificación de Intervenciones de Enfermería (NIC). Teniendo en cuenta las competencias de la profesión, se han incluido las intervenciones enfermeras que hacen referencia no solo al ámbito asistencial, sino también a la responsabilidad gestora, la acción educativa y el compromiso investigador. La obra consta de módulos que concuerdan con el nivel de competencia dentro del grado en Enfermería, por lo que constituye un valioso texto básico del aprendizaje teórico-práctivo para los estudiantes de Enfermería. Los módulos han sido reformulados para reforzar la presentación de los contenidos de forma coherente con los distintos ámbitos de la realidad asistencial, favoreciendo los aprendizajes prácticos de los estudiantes, a través del lenguaje estandarizado como eje vertebrador, en consonancia con las actuales demandas de salud. Resulta de gran ayuda a los profesionales en activo, teniendo en cuenta que se vinculan los procedimientos a las intervenciones NIC siguiendo el mismo esquema de los registros inform´´aticos del ámbito asistencial, en los cuales se asocian los protocolos a las intervenciones NIC para facilitar su implementación.
