  • Dynamics of Rail Transit Tunnel Systems

    • 1st Edition
    • Shunhua Zhou
    • English
    Dynamics of Rail Transit Tunnel Systems develops the dynamic theory of a rail transit tunnel system and provides research methods for the evaluation of long-term settlement of rail transit tunnels in soft soil, the service performance of tunnel structures, and the characterization of environmental vibration induced by trains. In recent years, a large number of rail transit tunnels have been constructed and put into operation, particularly in China. To evaluate the time-dependent degradation of tunnel structures and train-induced environmental vibration, a reliable model must be established to determine the dynamic response of a vehicle-track-tunnel... system, hence the introduction of this timely resource.

  • Examen clinique et sémiologie - Macleod

    Interrogatoire et examen clinique - Sémiologie par appareil - Situations particulières
    • 1st Edition
    • J. Alastair Innes + 3 more
    • French
    L’examen clinique est essentiel à l’identification d’une maladie et l’évaluation de son pronostic.Cet ouvrage de référence dans le monde médical anglo-saxon explique avec détail comment évaluer les symptômes d’un patient et établir un diagnostic au travers de l’anamnèse et de l’examen physique.Son objectif est d’aider l’étudiant à développer les compétences cliniques nécessaires à l’obtention d’une anamnèse claire et les compétences pratiques indispensables à la détection et l’interprétation des signes cliniques des maladies.Le livre est composé de quatre grandes parties :Anamnèse et examen physique : elle aborde les principes généraux d’une bonne interaction avec le patient, depuis les bases du recueil de l’anamnèse et de la réalisation d’un examen physique à l’utilisation de tableaux cliniques permettant des diagnostics.Sémiolog... par appareil : cette partie traite des symptômes et des signes selon une approche par système.Situations spécifiques : elle illustre l’application de ces compétences à des situations cliniques particulières.Mise en pratique : cette partie s’intéresse à l’application de ces compétences à la pratique quotidienne et propose des conseils pour s’y préparer efficacement.Il est également proposé dans chaque chapitre des exemples d’Examen Clinique Objectif Structuré correspondant à une méthode d’évaluation des étudiants très prisée dans les pays anglo-saxons. Ils consistent en une mise en situation pratique face à un mannequin ou un comédien jouant un scénario clinique court.Ce livre aborde également les différentes étapes de chaque examen qui sont présentées de manière détaillée, étayées de nombreux encadrés et illustrations. Il est particulièrement adapté aux étudiants en DFGSM2-DFGSM3 dans le cadre de l’enseignement thématique « Sémiologie générale » et les enseignements intégrés par système (sémiologie clinique) mais également aux étudiants en pharmacie. Il intéressera également les étudiants en DFASM préparant les ECNi mais aussi les enseignants et praticiens désireux de mettre à jour leurs connaissances.
