Offering multiple high-quality images for each example provided, this easy-to-use guide is designed for those new to CBCT scans as well as more experienced practitioners in need of a reference tool of normal anatomy, common anatomical variants, and incidental findings. Extensively revised throughout, the Second Edition features a brand-new chapter on findings of the maxilla and mandible, and additional incidental findings and common anatomical variants. Every chapter in the book now includes sections covering anatomic variations, developmental anomalies, pathosis, and other considerations. All information has been carefully reviewed and updated to incorporate recent research in the field and reflect newer guidelines from various specialty organizations. This new edition: Enables rapid reference to common CBCT findings, with multiple images for each finding Features a streamlined framework that makes relevant information easier to find and apply in dental practice Offers hundreds of new images to aid in correctly identifying findings Contains new and updated content, including expanded coverage of CBCT and implants Provides sample reports and explains how they are used in day-to-day clinical practice Interpretation Basics of Cone Beam Computed Tomography, Second Edition remains a must-have resource for all dental practitioner and specialists who use CBCT, dental students in radiology interpretation courses, and residents beginning to use CBCT in their specialty.
Explore how the peoples of America understood and changed their natural environments, remaking their politics, culture, and societies In this newly revised Second Edition of American Environmental History, celebrated environmental historian and author Louis S. Warren provides readers with insightful examination of how different American peoples created and reacted to environmental change and threats from the era before Columbus to the COVID-19 pandemic. You'll find concise editorial introductions to each chapter and interpretive interventions throughout this meticulous collection of essays and historical documents. This book covers topics as varied as Native American relations with nature, colonial invasions, American slavery, market expansion and species destruction, urbanization, Progressive and New Deal conservation, national parks, the environmental impact of consumer appetites, environmentalism and the backlash against it, environmental justice, and climate change. This new edition includes twice as many primary documents as the First Edition, along with findings from related fields such as Native American history, African American history, geography, and environmental justice. Ideal for students and researchers studying American environmental history and for those seeking historical perspectives on contemporary environmental challenges, this book will earn a place in the libraries of anyone with an interest in American history and the impact of American peoples on the environment and the world around them. Louis S. Warren is the W. Turrentine Jackson Professor of Western U.S. History at the University of California, Davis.

Discover what lies beyond the bleeding-edge of autonomous airborne networks with this authoritative new resource Autonomous Airborne Wireless Networks delivers an insightful exploration of recent advances in the theory and practice of using airborne wireless networks to provide emergency communications, coverage and capacity expansion, information dissemination, and more. The distinguished engineers and editors have selected resources that cover the fundamentals of airborne networks, including channel models, recent regulation developments, self-organized networking, AI-enabled flying networks, and notable applications in a variety of industries. The book evaluates advances in the cutting-edge of unmanned aerial vehicle wireless network technology while offering readers new ideas on how airborne wireless networks can support various applications expected of future networks. The rapidly developing field is examined from a fresh perspective, one not just concerned with ideas of control, trajectory optimization, and navigation. Autonomous Airborne Wireless Networks considers several potential use cases for the technology and demonstrates how it can be integrated with concepts from self-organized network technology and artificial intelligence to deliver results in those cases. Readers will also enjoy: A thorough discussion of distributed drone base station positioning for emergency cellular networks using reinforcement learning (AI-enabled trajectory optimization) An exploration of unmanned aerial vehicle-to-wearables (UAV2W) indoor radio propagation channel measurements and modelling An up-to-date treatment of energy minimization in UAV trajectory design for delay tolerant emergency communication Examinations of cache-enabled UAVs, 3D MIMO for airborne networks, and airborne networks for Internet of Things communications Perfect for telecom engineers and industry professionals working on identifying practical and efficient concepts tailored to overcome challenges facing unmanned aerial vehicles providing wireless communications, Autonomous Airborne Wireless Networks also has a place on the bookshelves of stakeholders, regulators, and research agencies working on the latest developments in UAV communications.
Religion und Bildung – ein spannungsvolles Verhältnis von Anfang an! Beide sind ohne Frage eigenständig; zugleich ist ihr Zueinander strittig und herausfordernd, gerade in vielen praktisch-theologischen Vollzügen: in Familie und Schule, in Gemeinde und an sozialen Orten, im Horizont von Ökumene und interreligiösem Dialog, lokal, regional und global. Religion und Bildung – auf diesen Feldern hat Norbert Mette seine wohl wichtigsten und wirksamsten Arbeiten seit den 1970-er Jahren vorgelegt.
Vier Schwerpunkte gliedern den vorliegenden Band: Religion, Bildung, Religion und Bildung sowie unterschiedliche Bereiche religiöser Bildung. Einige grundlegende praktisch-theologische Artikel und viele kurze Beiträge, die eigene Akzente zulassen, religiöse, christliche, kirchliche und politische Praxis spiegeln, laden ein, den spannungsvollen Diskurs mit der handlungswissenschaftlichen Praktischen Theologie von Norbert Mette zur Zukunft von Religion und Bildung zu führen.
Die Pastoralkonzepte der deutschen Bistümer mit den größeren Pfarreien und Seelsorgeräumen scheinen weitgehend von der Stadt-Situation geprägt zu sein. Doch welche Bilder bestimmen die Praxis «auf dem Land»? Eines der Ergebnisse der Tagung der Katholischen Arbeitsstelle für missionarische Pastoral (Kamp) im Herbst 2011 in Zusammenarbeit mit der Theologischen Fakultät Fulda und der Diözese Fulda war, dass die pastorale Situation zwischen Stadt und Land gar nicht so unterschiedlich ist. Bilderwechsel will besagen, dass an beiden Orten der Blick weg von einer zentralisierten gleichgeordneten Pastoral hin zu einer Pastoral der Vielfalt und der Ermöglichung durch viele freiwillig Engagierte erfolgen muss. Der aus der Tagung hervorgegangene Band befasst sich mit den theologischen und soziologischen Grundlagen zu dieser Thematik, er bebildert die Praxis etlicher beispielhafter Orte der Landpastoral, er zieht daraus konzeptionelle Konsequenzen und möchte die kirchlichen Mitarbeiter in ihren vielfältigen Wirkungsfeldern ermutigen sowie die Diözesanverantwortlichen zu konzeptuellen Veränderungen anregen.
