Overview: Around 1000 photographs showing every step of a surgical procedure.Special sections for advanced cancers and surgery in resource constrained set-up.Covers every surgical procedure commonly performed f.Surgery for head neck cancer has evolved greatly in the recent years. Appropriate surgical resection with negative margins still remain corner-stone in achieving good oncological outcome. This atlas proposes a new concept of " The Compartment Surgery " to achieve negative margins in third dimensions which is the problem area in majority of cases. Reconstructive techniques have evolved v

Overview: Advances in Solar Energy, now in its fifth year, is continuing with topics of the main field of solar energy conversion. However, because of the increasing interest in a solar systems approach, we have decided to include the article of Bockris et al., on Hydrogen Technology, which offers interesting aspects of transport and storage of solar energy, as well as the potential for a versatile fuel. The other articles cover the field of photovoltaics, solar energy-related mate­ rials, wind conversion, solar retrofitting of existing buildings, and new architectural designs in harmony with

Overview: Provides a step-by-step procedure for formulation and development of Artificial Neural Networks based Vehicular pollution models.Takes into account meteorological and traffic aspects.Useful for profes.Artificial neural networks (ANNs), which are parallel computational models, comprising of interconnected adaptive processing units (neurons) have the capability to predict accurately the dispersive behavior of vehicular pollutants under complex environmental conditions. This book aims at describing step-by-step procedure for formulation and development of ANN based VP models considering

Overview: In Actief leren voor een beroep zijn ruim zestig activiteiten opgenomen waarmee leerlingen op een actieve manier leren voor een beroep. Met alles wat daarbij hoort: stevige vakkennis, vaardigheden en een goede beroepshouding.Per activiteit is uitgewerkt wat deze inhoudt, waarom leerlingen het doen en welke stappen ze moeten zetten. Ook krijgen de leerlingen tips over hoe zij missers kunnen voorkomen en hoe zij variatie in de activiteit kunnen aanbrengen. Na elke activiteit is er aandacht voor het leerproces: de leerlingen evalueren de activiteit en trekken een conclusie voor een volg

Overview: Exclusively dedicated to the square of oppositions.Presenting the topic from an interdisciplinary perspective.Of interest for mathematical logicians as well as philosophers.Includes supplementary mate.The theory of oppositions based on Aristotelian foundations of logic has been pictured in a striking square diagram which can be understood and applied in many different ways having repercussions in various fields: epistemology, linguistics, mathematics, sociology, physics. The square can also be generalized in other two-dimensional or multi-dimensional objects extending in breadth and

Overview: Sozialwissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: Seit seinem Beinahe-Zusammenbruch im Herbst 2008 prägen die Probleme des weltweiten Finanzsystems, vormals ein Expertenthema, auch die allgemeine politische Diskussion. Dabei reizen einerseits eklatante Ungerechtigkeiten zum Protest, andererseits verunsichert das weithin unverstandene Themenfeld. In seiner wissenssoziologischen Studie untersucht Oliver Kuhn Diskussionen in Internetforen im Hinblick auf die dort kursierenden Erklärungen für die Finanzkrise. Gibt es einfache Erklärungsmuster, mit deren Hilfe ökonomische La

Overview: Presents new approaches to medieval material culture within a pan European context.First pan-European study of similarities and differences in archaeological small finds across Europe.Unique collabora.This volume studies high and late medieval material culture in a Pan-European context. The idea of ‘unity of culture’ in Medieval Latin Europe is well known in historical texts, especially when it concerns the so-called ‘Europe North of the Alps’. This book investigates the similarities and differences in material culture between areas, regions and political entities and opens the dialo
