This thorough revision of Color Atlas of Congenital Heart Surgery features 700 vividly reproduced full-color, intraoperative images. The atlas provides a comprehensive compendium of complex cardiothoracic surgical anatomy, the pathology of congenital.

The 102 cases unknown and 217 supplemental cases throughout depict scenarios commonly encountered in daily practice, with special emphasis on the rapidly growing area of sports injuries and traumatic disorders. The cases are heavily illustrated with nearly 600 high-resolution MRI images.

Fuzzy logic enables people preparing environmental impact statements to quantify complex environmental, economic and social conditions. This reduces the time and cost of assessments, while producing justifiable results.

The second edition of Dr. Demski's book reflects his experiences teaching undergraduates, masters and doctoral students. He emphasizes economic fundamentals as the guiding foundation coupled with an artful application of those fundamentals.

This volume provides a solid foundation for those new to the field of group interventions in schools as well as a creative boost for group specialists. The book features instructive case examples and proven, ready-to-use group-focused interventions.

Traditional at-speed test methods cannot guarantee high quality test results as they face many new challenges. Supply noise effects on chip performance, high test pattern volume, small delay defect test pattern generation, high cost of test implementation and application, and utilizing low-cost testers are among these challenges.

The developments in linguistic theory over the last three decades have given us a better understanding of the formal properties of language.

This is the only advanced programming book on R, the enormously successful open-source system based on the S language. It guides the reader through programming with R, beginning with simple interactive use and progressing by gradual stages.

This unique book delivers an encyclopedic treatment of classic as well as contemporary large sample theory. It deals with both statistical problems and probabilistic issues and tools. The book's detailed coverage is written in an extremely lucid style.

This is the third and yet further updated edition of a highly regarded mathematical text. Brenner develops the basic mathematical theory of the finite element method, the most widely used technique for engineering design and analysis.

This biography provides an understanding of William Bateson as well as a reconciliation of diverging views (e.g. The pressing need for this text is apparent from the high percentages reported not to believe in evolution and the growth of the so-called "intelligent design" movement.

The future of Earth's ecosystems is increasingly influenced by the pace and patterns of urbanization. Advances in Urban Ecology articulates the challenge for scholars of urban ecosystems by presenting a unified theory linking human and ecological processes.

Here is a comprehensive guide for practitioners who work with breast cancer patients and their families. It includes a series of psychosocial interventions to be used with couples during early stage breast cancer.

States of Consciousness expands on the pioneering work of J.H. Jackson, offering contemporary models for studying consciousness in both pathology and normal altered states, including relaxation, sleep, meditation, and hypnosis. The author clarifies distinctions between the neuroscientific and psychiatric components of consciousness;

Here is a systematic account of linear time series models and their application to the modeling and prediction of data collected sequentially in time. It details techniques for handling data and offers a thorough understanding of their mathematical basis.

Early utilization of plastic was in cold regions, and plastic was mainly used for protection from the cold. The use of covering techniques started with a simple system such as mulching, then row covers and small tunnels were developed, and finally plastic houses.

A unique collection of thirty experiments ranging from ancient astronomy to cosmology, each containing one or more challenges for the reader. the distance of the moon, stars and planets; star clusters and variable stars; and fundamental properties of stars.

Abstract semilinear functional differential equations arise from many biological, chemical, and physical systems which are characterized by both spatial and temporal variables and exhibit various spatio-temporal patterns.

Given the need for new directions in theory, the book proposes that anthropologists look to political science, especially the rational choice theory of collective action. The authors subject collective action theory to a methodologically rigorous evaluation using systematic cross-cultural analysis based on a world-wide sample of societies.

This is an international, comparative survey which interviews random samples of women about their experiences with male violence.

Biotechnological Applications of Photosynthetic Proteins: Biochips, Biosensors and Biodevices provides an overview of the recent photosystem II research and the systems available for the bioassay of pollutants using biosensors that are based on the photochemical activity.

In this book I have attempted to trace the development of numerical analysis during the period in which the foundations of the modern theory were being laid. I would particularly like to acknowledge my thanks to Professor Otto Neugebauer for his help and inspiration in the preparation of this book.

Gives professionals and students across the health and mental health disciplines a working knowledge of drug-related pathology, beginning with pharmacology, drug mechanisms, and genetic factors. This title features clinical/emergency orientation suited to both chronic misuse and acute situations.

Now available in paperback, this book is organized in a way that emphasizes both the theory and applications of the various variance estimating techniques. It applies to large, complex surveys; and to provide an easy reference for the survey researcher who is faced with the problem of estimating variances for real survey data.

This book provides a thorough introduction to the most important topics in data mining and machine learning. All the topics covered have undergone rapid development and this treatment offers a modern perspective emphasizing the most recent contributions.

This book describes the commonly used multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) models and the important methods needed for their practical application. It is the first book to give thorough coverage to this emerging area of psychometrics.

Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping is used to discover the genetic and molecular architecture underlying complex quantitative traits. This illustrated book is a comprehensive guide to the practice of QTL mapping and the use of R/qtl.

As the knowledge base of child clinical and pediatric assessment continues to grow rapidly, so does the need for up-to-date information. This volume provides the ideal update and the text offers the depth of coverage necessary to understand the field.
