Combined Scintigraphic and Radiographic Diagnosis of Bone and Joint Diseases: Including Gamma Correction Interpretation
by Yong-Whee BahkIn this fourth edition of Combined Scintigraphic and Radiographic Diagnosis of Bone and Joint Diseases, the text has been thoroughly amended, updated, and partially rearranged to reflect the latest advances. In addition to discussing the role of pinhole imaging in the range of disorders previously covered, the new edition pays detailed attention to the novel diagnostic use of gamma correction pinhole bone scan in a broad spectrum of skeletal disorders. A large number of state of the art pinhole scans and corroborative CT, MRI, and/or ultrasound images are presented side by side. The book has been enlarged to encompass various new topics, including occult fractures; cervical sprain and whiplash trauma; bone marrow edema; microfractures of trabeculae; evident, gaping, and stress fractures; soft tissue diseases; and differential diagnosis. This new edition will be essential reading for practitioners and researchers in nuclear medicine, radiology, orthopedic surgery, and pathology.
Kaufmännische Betriebslehre in Frage und Antwort
by Alfred Heinz BahnDie Anforderungen an den Kaufmann sind gestiegen, und sein Aufgabengebiet ist größer und vielseitiger geworden. Ein wesentlicher Bestandteil des kaufmänni schen Wissens sind ausreichende Kenntnisse der Betriebswirtschaftslehre, die dem einzelnen und dem Unternehmen zugute kommen. Das vorliegende Buch soll dem künftigen Kaufmann die erforderlichen Kenntnisse vermitteln und dem tätigen Kaufmann als Nachschlagewerk dienen. Die Frage Antwort-Form hat sich als zweckmäßig erwiesen, da sie den oft langatmigen Stoff aufgliedert und zum logischen Denken, zur Aufmerksamkeit und zum klaren For mulieren anregt. Zur Vermeidung von Mißdeutungen wurde bei der Formulierung besonders wichtiger Antworten der Gesetzestext übernommen. Alfred H. Bahn Inhaltsverzeichnis A. Allgemein I. Wirtschaftssysteme 11 11.

Ernest Sosa: Targeting His Philosophy (Münster Lectures in Philosophy #3)
by Amrei Bahr Markus SeidelThis volume provides the reader with exclusive insights into Ernest Sosa’s latest ideas as well as main aspects of his philosophical work of the last 50 years. Ernest Sosa, one of the most distinguished contemporary philosophers, is best known for his ground-breaking work in epistemology, and has also contributed greatly to metaphysics, metaphilosophy and philosophy of language.This book, resulting from the 18th Münster Lectures in Philosophy, includes an original article by Sosa on his most recent work in epistemology, and seven critical papers that target a wide range of topics from Sosa’s oeuvre, as well as Sosa’s responses. As regards his epistemology, the issues discussed include his solution of the sceptical problem in his most recent work and the question of how to integrate a sensible account of testimony to Sosa’s virtue epistemology. The selected topics from his other fields of inquiry include his view on empirical challenges to human rationality, his defense of the scientific status of philosophy, his concept of causality as considered against the background of the current debate, his suggestion of a middle-way between existential relativism and absolutism and his externalistic internalism in the philosophy of mind and language.

Gap Junction Channels and Hemichannels (Methods in Signal Transduction Series)
by Donglin Bai Juan C. SáezGap junction channels are a group of intercellular channels expressed in tissues and organs to synchronize many physiological processes. A gap junction channel is formed by the docking of two hemichannels, and each hemichannel is a hexamer of connexins. The field of gap junction channel and hemichannel research has recently exploded and became one of the most active areas of cell biology. Numerous novel approaches and techniques have been developed, but there is no single book dedicated to the unique techniques and protocols employed for the research on these large pore channels. This book fills the gap and focuses on protocols, approaches and reviews of gap junction channels and connexin hemichannels. It will be a useful reference for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and researchers. Anyone with an interest in gap junction channels and hemichannels will need this summary of state-of-the-art techniques and protocols.

Cooperative Control Design: A Systematic, Passivity-Based Approach (Communications and Control Engineering)
by He Bai Murat Arcak John WenCooperative Control Design: A Systematic, Passivity-Based Approach discusses multi-agent coordination problems, including formation control, attitude coordination, and synchronization. The goal of the book is to introduce passivity as a design tool for multi-agent systems, to provide exemplary work using this tool, and to illustrate its advantages in designing robust cooperative control algorithms. The discussion begins with an introduction to passivity and demonstrates how passivity can be used as a design tool for motion coordination. Followed by the case of adaptive redesigns for reference velocity recovery while describing a basic design, a modified design and the parameter convergence problem. Formation control is presented as it relates to relative distance control and relative position control. The coverage is concluded with a comprehensive discussion of agreement and the synchronization problem with an example using attitude coordination.
