Gamma Cameras for Interventional and Intraoperative Imaging

Gamma Cameras for Interventional and Intraoperative Imaging

Gamma cameras are traditionally large devices that are situated in nuclear medicine departments but recent advances in detector design have enabled the production of compact gamma cameras that allow nuclear imaging at the patient bedside and in the operating theatre. Gamma Cameras for Interventional and Intraoperative Imaging is the first book to cover this new area of imaging and provides a unique insight into the experimental and clinical use of small field of view gamma cameras in hospitals. This book explores advances in the design and operation of compact gamma cameras and conducts a thorough review of current SFOV systems before exploring the clinical applications of the technology. It is an essential reference for surgeons operating theatre staff clinical scientists (medical physicists) technologists nuclear physicians and radiologists whose patients could benefit from this technology.

Handbook of Nutraceuticals Volume II Scale-Up Processing and Automation

Handbook of Nutraceuticals Volume II Scale-Up Processing and Automation

Due in part to an absence of universally accepted standardization methods nutraceuticals and functional foods face regulatory ignorance marketing incompetence and ethical impunity. Even though many researchers believe that there is a connection between nutraceuticals and functional foods and reduced health care expenses as well as disease prevention the credibility and quality control challenge remains. The industry needs more standardized testing reliable reproducible clinical studies to prove the efficacies of products in vivo and in-process controls to maintain universal product quality. The first volume of the Handbook of Nutraceuticals re-defined Nutraceuticals covering the regulatory aspect as well as insisting on the cGMP’s and SOP’s for the nutraceutical manufacturing. This second volume focuses on the scale up processing and automation of nutraceutical production under cGMP production regulations. It covers: Advancements in extraction methods Unit operations involved in scaling up and processing Rheological and flow properties of products as characterization parameters Fortification and value enhancement using nanotechnology Green concepts in food industry Flavoring of nutraceuticals Clinical batch nutraceutical manufacturing New technologies to prevent counterfeiting Automation in nutraceutical industry The nutraceutical market is at the crossroads. With a nearly $200 billion market for nutraceuticals and functional foods by end of 2013 and promising developments in product design and discovery the industry must be ready for intense scrutiny. The standardization of testing clinical studies and adherence to rigorous industry and scientific methods is necessary for the advancement acceptance and development of high quality effective nutraceuticals. With contributions from leading authorities this book brings together hundreds of years of combined experience to provide guidance on how to increase the quality and credibility of nutraceutical products. | Handbook of Nutraceuticals Volume II Scale-Up Processing and Automation

Integrated Water Resources Management Institutions and Livelihoods under Stress Bottom-up Perspectives from Zimbabwe; UNESCO-IHE PhD Thesis

Integrated Water Resources Management Institutions and Livelihoods under Stress Bottom-up Perspectives from Zimbabwe; UNESCO-IHE PhD Thesis

The majority of people in Limpopo river basin depend on rainfed agriculture. Unfortunately the Limpopo is water scarce and parts of the basin such as Zimbabwe's Mzingwane catchment are under stress in terms of agro-ecological and socio-politicoeconomic conditions. Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) has been adopted in the river basin in an attempt to improve water resources management. However it is not known whether or how IWRM has improved practices in water resources management and contributed towards improved livelihoods. This study used a bottom-up approach to analyse water management practices and livelihoods in the river basin. The objective of the study was to understand practices in water resources management at the local level and what drives those practices. Specifically the study analysed: practices in access to water for domestic and productive uses efforts at sustaining livelihoods and the environment water management for agriculture contestations over urban water services and river basin planning. The study showed the importance of context as a driver of practices in water resources management. The demonstrated influence of local level drivers on water resources management and livelihoods suggest that the challenges in water resources management cannot be solved outside of the wider socio-politico-economic realm. | Integrated Water Resources Management Institutions and Livelihoods under Stress Bottom-up Perspectives from Zimbabwe; UNESCO-IHE PhD Thesis

G Families of Probability Distributions Theory and Practices

G Families of Probability Distributions Theory and Practices

Statistical distributions are essential tools to model the characteristics of datasets such as right or left skewness bi-modality or multi-modality observed in different applied sciences such as engineering medicine and finance. The well-known distributions like normal Weibull gamma and Lindley are extensively used because of their simple forms and identifiability properties. In the last decade researchers have focused on the more complex and flexible distributions referred to as Generalized or simply G families of probability distributions to increase the modelling capability of these distributions by adding one or more shape parameters. The main aim of this edited book is to present new contributions by researchers in the field of G families of probability distributions. The book will help researchers to: Develop new univariate continuous and discrete G families of probability distributions. Develop new bivariate continuous and discrete G families of probability distributions. Derive beneficial mathematical properties such as ordinary and incomplete moments moment generating functions residual life and reversed residual life functions order statistics quantile spread ordering and entropies and some bivariate and multivariate extensions of the new and existing models using a simple-type copula. | G Families of Probability Distributions Theory and Practices

Differential Equations with Applications and Historical Notes

Differential Equations with Applications and Historical Notes

Fads are as common in mathematics as in any other human activity and it is always difficult to separate the enduring from the ephemeral in the achievements of one’s own time. An unfortunate effect of the predominance of fads is that if a student doesn’t learn about such worthwhile topics as the wave equation Gauss’s hypergeometric function the gamma function and the basic problems of the calculus of variations—among others—as an undergraduate then he/she is unlikely to do so later. The natural place for an informal acquaintance with such ideas is a leisurely introductory course on differential equations. Specially designed for just such a course Differential Equations with Applications and Historical Notes takes great pleasure in the journey into the world of differential equations and their wide range of applications. The author—a highly respected educator—advocates a careful approach using explicit explanation to ensure students fully comprehend the subject matter. With an emphasis on modeling and applications the long-awaited Third Edition of this classic textbook presents a substantial new section on Gauss’s bell curve and improves coverage of Fourier analysis numerical methods and linear algebra. Relating the development of mathematics to human activity—i. e. identifying why and how mathematics is used—the text includes a wealth of unique examples and exercises as well as the author’s distinctive historical notes throughout.

Soil Invertebrates Kaleidoscope of Adaptations

Soil Invertebrates Kaleidoscope of Adaptations

Soil invertebrates make up diverse communities living in soil pores and on the soil surface digging burrows and tunnels processing organic matter and interacting with microbes. Soil is also a habitat of growing concern as many human activities cause soil degradation. This book documents the evolutionary history of soil invertebrates and their multitude of adaptations. Soil invertebrates live in a twilight zone: some have gone down to seek stability constancy and rest others have gone up and faced environmental variation heat cold and activity. And it all happens in a few decimetres millimetres sometimes. Check out the wonderful life below ground in this book. | Soil Invertebrates Kaleidoscope of Adaptations
