Overview: Detailed analysis of the use of single-access laparoscopic surgery.Covers a wide range of indications and abdominal surgical procedures.Valuable for both surgeons and researchersSingle-access laparoscopic surgery (SALS), performed using a single transumbilical access, has recently proved to bring advantages over other forms of laparoscopic surgery due to the reduction in the number of incisions and the consequent decrease in morbidity, less blood loss and postoperative pain. Furthermore, cosmesis may be improved because incision within the umbilicus renders surgery virtually scarless

Overview: Allgemeines über eine neuzeitliche Stanzerei und ihre Einrichtungen. Unter einer neuzeitlichen Stanzerei wird im folgenden ein Betrieb verstanden, der seine Maschinen stets in gutem Zustand erhält, in jeder Hinsicht eine tadellose Arbeitsorganisation besitzt und mit ausgewählt tüchtigen Kräften arbeitet.

Zunächst sind Be­ trieb und Büro zu unterscheiden, die miteinander Hand in Hand zu arbeiten haben. Der Betrie

Overview: This book aims to provide a unified treatment of input/output modelling and of control for discrete-time dynamical systems subject to random disturbances. The results presented are of wide applica­ bility in control engineering, operations research, econometric modelling and many other areas. There are two distinct approaches to mathematical modelling of physical systems: a direct analysis of the physical mechanisms that comprise the process, or a ‘black box‘ approach based on analysis of input/output data. The second approach is adopted here, although of course the properties ofthe

Overview: Includes clinical pearls and easy reference tables.Chapters are designed to be reader-friendly and digestible as a whole text or on an as-needed basis.Written by experts in sleep and psychiatry.According to research, more than 50% of patients seen in psychiatric clinics have sleep problems. Despite this fact, there is a lack of sleep medicine training in psychiatric residency programs especially for disorders like insomnia and sleep-related problems in women and children. Also, there is a lack of education on treating sleep problems in special situations like ICU settings or managing

Overview: Presents ellipsometry characterization of solar cell materials/devices.Provides easy-to-understand explanations of ellipsometry data analysis.Includes optical constants for all solar-cell component la.This book provides a basic understanding of spectroscopic ellipsometry, with a focus on characterization methods of a broad range of solar cell materials/devices, from traditional solar cell materials (Si, CuInGaSe2, and CdTe) to more advanced emerging materials (Cu2ZnSnSe4, organics, and hybrid perovskites), fulfilling a critical need in the photovoltaic community..The book describes o

Overview: Schmalenbachs "Dynamische Bilanz" erlebte Ende des Jahres 1953 ihre 11. Auf­ lage, und das obwohl - oder vielleicht gerade weil - es sich bei ihr um das wohl umstrittenste betriebswirtschaftliche Buch überhaupt handelt. Der Umfang der Kritik an diesem Buch stellt wirklich, wie Schmalenbach einmal schreibt, einen Rekord dar. In einer Untersuchung, die es sich wie die vorliegende zur Aufgabe gemacht hat, diese Kritik an der Dynamischen Bilanz darzustellen und sie auf ihre Gewich­ tung und Stichhaltigkeit hin zu prüfen, können infolgedessen nicht alle zu irgend­ einer Zeit einmal gemach

Overview: How to design stormwater management systems for maximum performance.Coverage of pollutant and runoff volume reduction through smart growth and low impact development practices.Detailed Data from actuaLand development to support population increases and shifts requires changes to the hydrologic cycle. Increased impervious area results in greater volumes of runoff, higher flow velocities, and increased pollutant fluxes to local waterways. As we learn more about the negative impacts of these outcomes, it becomes more important to develop and manage land in a smart manner that reduces th

Overview: Since human beings first appeared on the earth, we have changed land cover and land use for our own purposes, such as conveniences and high productivity. As a result of the land cover and land use changes, many serious environmental problems occur on the earth. Studying meteorological and hydrological effects of vegetation and land cover/use changes helps us to understand the environmental changes and problems happening near the earth surface, because the vegetation distributes the solar energy and water on the earth surface into atmosphere and geosphere. Subsurface hydrological resp
