Product Description

This book gives an overview of the most recent advances in emulsion science, from the preparation to the destruction of these materials. This book is intended for a large audience, from undergraduate students to senior scientists. A progressive and didactic approach is proposed for that purpose. The concepts presented should provide a useful guidance for formulating and controlling the lifetime of emulsion at laboratory and industrial scales. For easy comprehension, the text is illustrated by more than 70 figures.

This book is a new edition of the one published in the series “Springer Tracts in Modern Physics (vol. 181)”. The main difference is a more didactic approach which will allow the non-specialist reader to capture the essential concepts. We shall also incorporate the very last research results (solid-stabilized emulsions, metastability) and novel applications (Biotechnology).

Product Description

This book provides the latest updates on the major challenges of bridging large bone defects, where options range from autografts, “tissue engineered bone”, biomaterials (hydroxyapatite, polycaprolactone and third generation biomaterials) to prostheses. Emphasis has been made on bone tissue engineering, the current state-of-the-art in this field, problems encountered with cell culture technology, scaffolds and bone growth factors (including genomics) and the use of gene therapy for the application of bone growth factors. Attention has also been given to the use of bone autografts. It also covers the use of biomaterials and prostheses as other options for reconstruction. Clinical applications, in addition to the basic science, are also included throughout the discussions.

Product Description

In the UK, undergraduate-level medicine has traditionally been taught in a master-apprentice style, with information about diagnosis and treatment being passed on in a didactic way and with slow updating. This has led to many books being simplistic and relatively brief. Medicine is not so straightforward and learning about the aetiology, diagnosis and management of conditions demands a much greater flexibility of thought than is apparent in most of the current textbooks.

A textbook that appeals to students with enquiring scientific minds is required. This invaluable volume covers the main topics of obstetrics and gynaecology that an undergraduate needs to learn, but with more background scientific information. This contributes to a better understanding of why the disorder occurs and to a logical grasp of how the treatment works. Therefore, the book can be used in the early stages of preparation for the MRCOG examination. The authors, who are experts in their fields, have written clearly, keeping the student in mind. They have been constantly treating patients and are involved in undergraduate education.

Product Description

This book covers anatomy, physiology and neuroscience relevant to the practice of speech and language therapy in sufficient detail to equip students with an understanding of the relevance of basic medical sciences to the clinical components of their courses.

An overview of the major body systems, including an outline of the structure and function of cells and pertinent tissues of the body, is followed by more detailed descriptions of the structure and function of the nervous system, the respiratory system, the phonatory and articular apparatus and the ear. Their role in normal and abnormal speech and language is illustrated by clinical examples likely to be met in practice.

The book will also act as a useful resource for experienced practitioners who wish to refresh or extend their knowledge of those basic sciences relevant to their specialties or as a prelude to undertaking specialized in-service study courses.

Product Description

This is one of two books which aim to reinforce the basic science required by modern GCSE syllabuses and to address all 17 attainment targets for science in England and Wales. By incorporating a variety of question styles it is hoped to help students to acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills required by examinations at 16+. The questions cover levels 4 to 10 of each attainment target and should therefore be suitable for students of a wide range of abilities. In addition to providing a framework within which students can compile a set of accurate notes, either on their own or with the help of a teacher, the book can be used to monitor progress. With examination questions included, it can also form the basis for a revision programme.
