Apley & Solomon's System of Orthopaedics and Trauma

Now in its Tenth Edition and in continuous publication since 1959 Apley & Solomon's System of Orthopaedics and Trauma is one of the world's leading textbooks of orthopaedic surgery. Relied upon by generations of orthopaedic trainees the book remains true to the teaching principles of the late Alan Apley and his successor Professor Louis Solomon. This new edition is fully revised and updated under the leadership of new editors. It retains the familiar 'Apley' philosophy and structure and is divided into three major sections: General Orthopaedics Regional Orthopaedics and Trauma thus enabling readers to gain the knowledge they need for their lifetime learning.

Serial Offenders Current Thought Recent Findings

Although serial offenders have been a recognized problem in society for centuries only recently have the complexities of these individuals come to light. Serial Offenders: Current Thought Recent Findings presents current and inclusive information on serial offending in a clear and straightforward manner. Citing numerous case examples this book will provide forensic psychologists and psychologists as well as criminologists social workers and corrections officials with relevant and informative data. Author Louis B. Schlesinger presents current thinking on serial offenders in the first of three parts contained in the text. In Part I he covers serial homicide child molestation rape arson and the nonviolent serial offender while offering new information and perspectives on these traditional problems. Part II reverses thought and takes a look at recent clinical and research findings. From profiling by law-enforcement and health-care workers to the neurobiological approach to understanding why people continually commit these crimes Part II delves beyond right and wrong to illuminate and identify the many shades of gray. Part III focuses on the unusual aspects of serial offending and on special populations of offenders. From infantophilia to serial offending by females adolescents and members of the clergy Schlesinger provides insight into a world that few have witnessed in such a comprehensive manner. | Serial Offenders Current Thought Recent Findings

Traditional and Indigenous Knowledge for the Modern Era A Natural and Applied Science Perspective

While there is talk of the Fourth Industrial Revolution old and new challenges bedevil the world – climate change nutrition and health poverty being at the top of the list. In seeking solutions to these and other problems which afflict the modern era it is worthwhile to look into our collective past to the traditions and knowledges of our ancestors. Such knowledge continues to exist in many parts of the world though now marginalized by homogenous Eurocentric ontolology and epistemology. This book presents a compilation of reviews case studies and primary research attempting to locate the utility of traditional and Indigenous Knowledges in an increasingly complex world. It assembles chapter authors from across the world to tackle topics ranging from traditional knowledge-based innovations and commercialization traditional medicine systems as practiced around the world ethnoveterinary practices and food innovation to traditional governance and leadership systems among others. This book is an important resource for policymakers; scholars and researchers of cultural studies leadership governance ethnobotany anthropology plant genetic resources and technology innovation; and readers interested in the history of knowledge and culture as well as cultural activists and political scientists. Features:Unique combination of social science and anthropological aspects with natural science perspectivesIncludes summaries aimed at policymakers to immediately see what would be relevant to their workCombines case studies illuminating important lessons learned with reviews and primary dataMultidisciplinary in the scope of the topics tackled and assemblage of contributorsGlobal footprint with contributions from Africa Europe North America Asia and the West Indies David R.

Computational Techniques of Rotor Dynamics with the Finite Element Method

For more than a century we have had a firm grasp on rotor dynamics involving rigid bodies with regular shapes such as cylinders and shafts. However to achieve an equally solid understanding of the rotational behavior of flexible bodies—especially those with irregular shapes such as propeller and turbine blades—we require more modern tools and methods. Computational Techniques of Rotor Dynamics with the Finite Element Method explores the application of practical finite element method (FEM)-based computational techniques and state-of-the-art engineering software. These are used to simulate behavior of rotational structures that enable the function of various types of machinery—from generators and wind turbines to airplane engines and propellers. The book’s first section focuses on the theoretical foundation of rotor dynamics and the second concentrates on the engineering analysis of rotating structures. The authors explain techniques used in the modeling and computation of the forces involved in the rotational phenomenon. They then demonstrate how to interpret and apply the results to improve fidelity and performance. Coverage includes: Use of FEM to achieve the most accurate computational simulation of all gyroscopic forces occurring in rotational structures Details of highly efficient and accurate computational and numerical techniques for dynamic simulations Interpretation of computational results which is instrumental to developing stable rotating machinery Practical application examples of rotational structures’ dynamic response to external and internal excitations An FEM case study that illustrates the computational complexities associated with modeling and computation of forces of rotor dynamics Assessment of propellers and turbines that are critical to the transportation and energy industries Useful to practicing engineers and graduate-level students alike this self-contained volume also serves as an invaluable reference for researchers and instructors in this field. CRC Press Authors Speak Louis Komzsik introduces you to two books that share a common mathematical foundation the finite element analysis technique. Watch the video.
