Lutz F: Triangulated Manifolds

Triangulated Manifolds

Global Perspectives on Health Geography

In this book, readers will learn learn about the equity and ethical&nbsp;issues associated with the practice of medical tourism in the Caribbean. Never before has a book discussed medical tourism with an exclusive focus on the opportunities&nbsp;and challenges it poses in the Caribbean region. As a region heavily dependent on tourism for economic sustainability, many Caribbean nations are looking to diversify their tourism sectors through involvement in medical tourism. In nine chapters, the book examines medical tourism through the lens of the Caribbean region to understand how and why this offshoring sector is unfolding in the way is and to consider who benefits from and is harmed by this global health services practice.&nbsp; This book is based on the author's first-hand research throughout the Caribbean region. The chapters are framed around specific insights she has gleaned&nbsp;about how medical tourism is unfolding in the region and its ethical&nbsp;and&nbsp;implications. Chapter 1 gives an overview of the global health services practice of medical tourism, and briefly introduces readers to the Caribbean region. Chapter 2 offers criticisms about the reliability of the information made available about medical tourism, not just in the Caribbean but also globally. Chapters 3 through 7 examine the complexities associated with competition&nbsp;between countries, the movement of locals and tourists between islands, the intersection of medical tourism and mobilities such as offshore medical schools, and the networks of impact resulting from the rise of medical tourism. Chapters 8 and 9 introduce the idea that there are 'winners' and 'losers' associated with medical tourism throughout the Caribbean region and that there is complexity with determining who falls into which group. This book will be of interest to students, academics, researchers, and policy makers involved with medical geography, global health, and health policy.&nbsp;

Medical Tourism in the Caribbean Region

New Frontiers in Regional Science: Asian Perspectives

This book integrates value balance, material balance and energy balance into the interaction model of socioeconomic activities and the environment, providing a comprehensive environmental policy and technology evaluation method accessible for planners and decision makers who must determine the most effective environmental remediation technologies and policies. It provides the intellectual groundwork indispensable for understanding the importance of taking the three balances into account when the optimal set of technologies and policies is decided. It offers, as well, an ecological institutional framework for sustainable development and construction of a low-carbon society. The topics addressed in this book include, inter alia, social versus private value balances and the necessity of environmental policies in motion; the need for evaluation of environmental impacts on all environmental media based on material balance; the necessity of differentiation between fossil versus non-fossil energy sources based on energy balance and improvement of the trade-off between economic development and conservation of the environment with adoption of advanced environmental remediation technologies and policies. These topics are illustrated by applying a comprehensive evaluation method to urgent environmental issues such as sustainable development compatible with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) scenario in developing countries, the ecological institutional framework after COP3, an inclusive watershed management focusing on sustainable development, wide-ranging waste management and construction of a circular-oriented society. The book is highly recommended to readers who seek a comprehensive policy evaluation method for environmental remediation technologies adaptable to complex issues.

Comprehensive Evaluation of Environmental Management Policies and Technologies

This book is designed to help readers to acquire a full understanding of the basic concepts of lateral skull base surgery and to familiarize themselves with the different procedures and the latest advances in surgical treatment. The opening chapters discuss general aspects of decision making, describe the relevant microanatomy, and outline the operating room setup. The approaches and procedures used in surgery for cerebellopontine angle, jugular foramen, petroclival, external auditory canal, and facial nerve tumors are then described and illustrated. The particular challenges posed by skull base surgery are identified and attention is drawn to innovative solutions. Advice is also provided on rehabilitation, and the book closes by considering relevant emerging medical treatments. Despite the advances in skull base surgery over recent decades, young surgeons remain fearful of the complex temporal bone and neurovascular anatomy and the difficulty of access. Neurotologists will find this book to be a source of reliable guidance and an invaluable aid to the achievement of optimal outcomes in daily practice.

Surgery of Lateral Skull Base

This textbook is relevant to BSc/MSc students interested in mathematical modeling and simulation. It brings together analysis, calculus and numerical methods presented in a single coherent volume. Particular attention is given to engineering mathematics, addressing modeling, analysis, method development, implementation and testing of algorithms, as well as application to actual problems and critical interpretation of the results. The book can be used throughout bachelor programs and parts of masters programs, presenting a comprehensive suite of courses that link formal abstract thinking on the one hand to intuitive model formulation, critical algorithm development and interpretation of results on the other hand. The books contains numerous examples of practical applications from physics, technology, biology and chemistry. It also contains an introduction to Matlab and C for algorithm development and computational analysis.&nbsp;Software and solutions to selected problems are included.

Coding for Erasure Channels

This detailed, excellently illustrated guide describes how to perform damage control surgery to the abdomen and presents pearls and pitfalls from the authors' personal experience. Individual chapters focus on crash laparotomy and surgical techniques for injuries to the liver, spleen, pancreas and duodenum, stomach, small bowel, colon, rectum, kidney, ureter, bladder, and abdominal veins and arteries. Preperitoneal packing is described, and instruction provided on methods of temporary abdominal closure.&nbsp; Damage control surgery is now well established as the standard of care for severely injured patients requiring emergent laparotomy. Although it may be defined as "limited operation for control of hemorrhage and contamination", a number of techniques based on a good deal of&nbsp;experience&nbsp;are now used in&nbsp;a variety of situations. This atlas will be a great help to all who are involved in trauma surgery, and especially young trauma surgeons.

Oxford Graduate Texts in Mathematics

Graph theory and especially the study of graph homomorphisms has developed exponentially in the last couple of decades. Originally based on the authors' graduate course lecture notes, this is still the only book devoted entirely to graph homomorphisms, bringing together the highlights of the theory and its many applications. It offers a useful perspective on more traditional graph theory topics such as graph reconstruction, various forms of graph colouring, graph products, automorphism groups, chordality, and interval graphs, and has applications in complexity theory, artificial intelligence, telecommunication, and statistical physics. It is intended to be a sampler of this rich subject and focuses on its most interesting results, techniques, and applications, including its algebraic, combinatorial, and algorithmic aspects. The book discusses most of the recent developments in the field, such as the disproof of the Hedetniemi Product Conjecture, the proof of the Feder-Vardi Dichotomy Conjecture of constraint satisfaction problems, as well as the celebrated theory of graph convergence and graphons. The text contains exercises of varying difficulty, intended to support readers' learning and further development.

Human–Computer Interaction Series

This book shows how HCI designers and practitioners can incorporate a somatic perspective or sensibility into interaction design. It demonstrates how experiential techniques can be used to support design and evaluation of user experience methods within HCI. Multiple examples are included using case studies to illustrate somatic approaches to the design of technology, contextualising the history of somatic methods within HCI and highlighting the relationships between user experiences and the application of somatic principles. The benefits and challenges of integrating somatic approaches in a technological context is illustrated and there is coverage of body-based somatic and somaesthetic strategies and how to apply these in research. The differences in epistemological assumptions are identified through contextual practice, discussion and case studies with a strong emphasis on multi-modal examples.

Neue Bibliothek der Sozialwissenschaften

Die Erklärung sozialen Handelns ist eine Kernaufgabe der Sozialwissenschaften. Ausgehend von den beiden Konzepten der Definition der Situation und der variablen Rationalität der Akteure entwickelt der Autor eine Handlungstheorie, die zentrale Einsichten soziologischer, ökonomischer und sozialpsychologischer Ansätze integriert: das Modell der Frame-Selektion. Der Autor zeigt, auf welche Weise die Theorie in diversen Forschungsfeldern einsetzbar ist, und wendet sie zur Lösung zweier prominenter Rätsel des Handelns an: der Wahlteilnahme in Demokratien und der Rettung von Juden im Zweiten Weltkrieg.

Astronomers' Universe

One of the most stunning features of the night sky, and Earth's home, the Mily Way is fertile ground for exploring the mysteries of the universe. This book will provide an overview of how astronomers have attempted to uncover our Galaxy’s past, and how current models of its structure may account for some of the most recent observations.&nbsp;Indeed, the&nbsp;distribution of chemical elements in our Galaxy serves as a ‘fossil record’ of its evolutionary history and is a powerful tool for studying the formation and evolution, not only of the Milky Way, but also of other galaxies.In their journey through the history of our Galaxy the authors answer many fascinating and intriguing questions, such as: what can the Milky Way tell us about the Big Bang? What were the very first stars like? Are we able to find any of these first stars, still shining today, but born at a time when no metals had been formed and the gas and the Galaxy consisted of only hydrogen and helium? How did the main biogenic elements form and how are they distributed throughout the Galaxy? Are there regions of our Galaxy where Earth-like planets such as ours might more easily form?The text is addressed to the curious or interested reader and is intended to unveil to a general popular science audience some of the topics about the structure and evolution of our Galaxy which are now the subject of hot debate amongst professional astronomers around the world.
