Geriatric Medicine at a Glance logically presents the core principles of geriatric medicine, including mechanisms of ageing, changes in physiology commonly seen in older adults, and the clinical management and treatment of the key medical presentations affecting older patients. It provides a thorough overview of the essential required core knowledge, mapped to the British Geriatrics Society undergraduate curriculum on ageing. Geriatric Medicine at a Glance: – Is fully aligned with the newly developed British Geriatric Society curriculum on ageing for undergraduate medical students – Explains the relevant concepts associated with ageing in addition to the common medical presentations seen in older adults – Includes the perspective of nurses and other allied health professionals – Features 'best of five' MCQ self-assessment questions Geriatric Medicine at a Glance will help address the uncertainty often experienced by medical students and junior doctors when dealing with older patients.
In this book, the authors present in detail several recent methodologies and algorithms that we have developed during the last fifteen years. The deterministic methods account for uncertainties through empirical safety factors, which implies that the actual uncertainties in materials, geometry and loading are not truly considered. This problem becomes much more complicated when considering biomechanical applications where a number of uncertainties are encountered in the design of prosthesis systems. This book implements improved numerical strategies and algorithms that can be applied only in biomechanical studies.
Manufacturing industries strive to improve the quality and reliability of their products, while simultaneously reducing production costs. To do this, modernized work tools must be produced; this will enable a reduction in the duration of the product development cycle, optimization of product development procedures, and ultimately improvement in the productivity of design and manufacturing phases. Numerical simulations of forming processes are used to this end, and in this book various methods and models for forming processes (including stamping, hydroforming and additive manufacturing) are presented. The theoretical and numerical advances of these processes involving large deformation mechanics on the basis of large transformations are explored, in addition to the various techniques for optimization and calculation of reliability. The advances and techniques within this book will be of interest to professional engineers in the automotive, aerospace, defence and other industries, as well as graduates and undergraduates in these fields.

Clinical Guide to Cardiology is a quick-reference resource, packed full of bullet points, diagrams, tables and algorithms for the key concepts and facts for important presentations and conditions within cardiology. It provides practical, evidence-based information on interventions, investigations, and the management of clinical cardiology. Key features include: • A clear evidence-base providing key guidelines and clinical trials in each chapter • Coverage of examination techniques, common conditions, imaging modalities (including ECGs, chest X-rays, MRI and CT), interventional therapies, and pharmacology • A companion website at www.wiley.com/go/camm/cardiology featuring audio clips, developed for differing levels of knowledge, that explain key concepts or an area in greater detail, as well as numerous additional clinical case studies, audio scripts, and self-assessment material
Volume 88 represents the tenth single-chapter-volume produced in our 73-year history. Such single-chapter volumes represent definitive treatises on extremely important chemical transformations. The success of the research efforts over the past 20 years forms the basis for the single chapter in this volume namely, Hydroamination of Alkenes by Alexander L. Reznichenko and Kai C. Hultzsch. The authors have compiled an enormous (and growing) literature and distilled it into an extraordinarily useful treatise on all aspects of the hydroamination process.
The latest volume in this series for organic chemists in industry presents critical discussions of widely used organic reactions or particular phases of a reaction. The material is treated from a preparative viewpoint, with emphasis on limitations, interfering influences, effects of structure and the selection of experimental techniques. The work includes tables that contain all possible examples of the reaction under consideration. Detailed procedures illustrate the significant modifications of each method.

Filling the gap for an expert text dealing exclusively with the practical aspects of HPLC-MS coupling, this concise, compact, and clear book provides detailed information to enable users to employ the method most efficiently. Following an overview of the current state of HPLC-MS and its instrumentation, the text goes on to discuss all relevant aspects of method development. A chapter on tips and tricks is followed by user reports on the advantages – and pitfalls – of applying the method in real-life scenarios. The whole is rounded off by a look at future developments by renowned manufacturers.
Aus einem Verfahren fur Spezialisten in der Forschung hat sich die LC/MS-Kopplung zu einer bewahrten Routineanwendung entwickelt. Ziel des Buchs ist, LC/MS-Anwendern moglichst detaillierte Informationen zu geben, damit sie ihre LC/MS-Applikation optimal durchfuhren konnen. Nach einem Uberblick uber den gegenwartigen Stand der Technik und instrumentelle Voraussetzungen werden Aspekte der Methodenentwicklung diskutiert. Ein Kapitel mit Tipps und Tricks leitet zu Anwenderberichte uber, bei denen auch ein Blick uber die klassische HPLC hinaus zur Ionenchromatographie geworfen wird. Berichte von renommierten Gerateherstellern uber neueste Entwicklungen runden das Buch ab. Dieses Praktikerbuch liefert LC/MS-Anwendern die Informationen, die sie zur optimalen Nutzung ihrer Gerate benotigen: Von instrumentellen Voraussetzungen und Methodenentwicklung bis zu Anwender- und Herstellerberichten werden wichtige Themen kompakt auf den Punkt gebracht.
