Nanoscience Education Workforce Training and K-12 Resources

Nanoscience Education Workforce Training and K-12 Resources

The nanotech revolution waits for no man woman or child. To revitalize science technology engineering and mathematics (STEM) performance the U. S. educational system requires a practical strategy to better educate students about nanoscale science and engineering research. This is particularly important in grades K 12 the effective gestation point for future ideas and information. Optimize your use of free resources from the National Science Foundation The first book of its kind Nanoscience Education Workforce Training and K 12 Resources promotes nano-awareness in both the public and private sectors presenting an overview of the current obstacles that must be overcome within the complex U. S. educational system before any reform is possible. It‘s a race against time and other countries and the fear is that U. S. students could lag behind for decades with ineffective teaching and learning methods handicapping their ability to compete globally. Focusing on the application of new knowledge this concise and highly readable book explores the transdisciplinary nature of nanoscience and its societal impact also addressing workforce training and risk management. Illustrating the historical perspective of the complexity of K 12 education communities it defines nanotechnology and evaluates pertinent global and national landscapes presenting examples of successful change within them. This book is composed of four sections: Foundations addresses the national educational matrix exploring the scientific and social implications associated with the delay in adopting nanoscience education in public schools Teaching Nanotechnology discusses the critical process of teaching K 12 students the skills to understand and evaluate emerging technologies they will encounter | Nanoscience Education Workforce Training and K-12 Resources

Urolithiasis Medical and Surgical Management of Stone Disease

Urolithiasis Medical and Surgical Management of Stone Disease

Urolithiasis or stone disease occurs in 7% of women and 12% of men at some point and these statistics are rising. Furthermore for those who form a stone the likelihood of a recurrence is nearly 50% within 5 years of initial diagnosis. Therefore the need for effective minimally invasive alternatives for stone eradication and prevention is critical. Because stone disease comprises a large part of any urologist’s practice a thorough knowledge of the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of stone disease is critical in order to understand and implement treatment strategies to prevent stone formation. Likewise a working knowledge of the surgical treatments instrumentation and outcomes is necessary to arm patients with sufficient information to make an informed decision and to provide the appropriate treatment modality for a given stone situation. In Urolithiasis: Medical and Surgical Management the authors provide a complete guide to the management of stone disease from both a medical and surgical prospective. This book should be an invaluable resource for those who treat stone disease in any capacity whether surgically or medically acutely or long-term. | Urolithiasis Medical and Surgical Management of Stone Disease
