Encapsulation and Controlled Release Technologies in Food Systems By
2007 | 242 Pages | ISBN: 0813828554 | PDF | 5 MB
In Encapsulation and Controlled Release Technologies in Food Systems, editor Lakkis has gathered a highly respected collection of expert contributors from industry and academia to highlight recent innovations in encapsulation and controlled release technologies in food systems. Unlike most recent publications which dealt exclusively with theoretical aspects of these technologies, this volume focuses mainly on devising effective and innovative applications in food systems in which these delivery vehicles operate. In addition, the book provides some emphasis on new opportunities that may arise from the development of new materials for the design and fabrication of delivery vehicles and carriers.Encapsulation and Controlled Release Technologies gives the reader a solid grasp of basic concepts of encapsulation technologies and their novel applications in food systems. Dr. Lakkis also presents novel possibilities of encapsulation and controlled release along with a discussion on future perspectives and economical implications of these technologies.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1-11): Jamileh M.

Emergency Triage, Second Edition By
2005 | 187 Pages | ISBN: 0727915428 | PDF | 2 MB
The Manchester Triage System (MTS) is the most widely used triage system in the UK, Europe and Australia, with tens of millions of patients being processed through hospital emergency departments. Emergency Triage is the core text for the MTS which utilises a risk averse system of prioritisation for patients in all unscheduled care settings, and as such it is an essential text for all emergency department staff using the MTS, in particular triage nurses themselves. The second edition has been revised throughout and takes in the changes in practice introduced into MTS since the book was first published. These include: Redesigned and expanded flow chartsAdditional charts for allergy and palpitationsNew practices - such as the possibility of revascularisation for patients with strokeNew discriminators, for example acute neurological deficit and significant respiratory historyRedefinition of existing discriminators Also new to this edition is the incorporation of sections on the use of the risk averse system in telephone triage, in settings where 'streaming' takes place and as an early warning score for patients in all unscheduled care settings. The tone of this edition reflects the more up to date, modified approach to triage while retaining the principles of clinical prioritisation, which in the authors' words "remains a central plank of clinical risk management in emergency care". Emergency Triage is an essential handbook for all clinicians involved in unscheduled care settings such as emergency care, walk in centres, minor injury units, primary care out of hours services.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1-4): Chapter 2 The Decision?Making Process and Triage (pages 5-9): Chapter 3 The Triage Method (pages 10-20): Chapter 4 Pain Assessment as Part of the Triage Process (pages 21-28): Chapter 5 Patient Management, Triage and the Triage Nurse (pages 29-34): Chapter 6 Auditing the Triage Process (pages 35-39): Chapter 7 Telephone Triage (pages 40-44): Chapter 8 Beyond Prioritisation (pages 45-49):

Embedding Evidence-Based Practice in Speech and Language Therapy: International Examples By
2010 | 243 Pages | ISBN: 0470743298 | PDF | 5 MB
Like all health professionals, speech and language therapists (SLTs) need to keep themselves up-to-date with the research evidence base that is relevant to their field of practice and be able to show how this contributes to their clinical decision-making. However, it is not always clear to practitioners how evidence-based practice (EBP) can be properly embedded in their day-to-day activities. In this valuable book, Hazel Roddam and Jemma Skeat present a wealth of instructive examples by SLT contributors from around the world, showing how clinicians, educators, and researchers have risen to the EBP challenge. Embedding evidence-based practice in speech and language therapy showcases the creative ways that SLTs are developing knowledge and skills for EBP, creating contexts that support the use of evidence in practice, and working towards making evidence easily accessible and usable. It includes real-life examples of how SLTs have encountered a clinical problem or situation and have accessed and used the evidence within their day-to-day practice. The contributors come from a wide range of work settings, from services situated within large organizations to those in independent practice, and represent a range of clinical areas, from paediatric to adult and across speech, language, voice, fluency, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), and dysphagia. This book is written for an audience of clinical practitioners, at any stage of their career, and is additionally a valuable resource for SLT students and lecturers.Content: Chapter 1 Purpose of this Book (pages 1-8): Dr Hazel Roddam and Dr Jemma SkeatChapter 2 What does EBP mean to Speech and Language Therapists?

2012 | 289 Pages | ISBN: 1848212429 | PDF | 22 MB
This book concerns the analysis and design of induction heating of poor electrical conduction materials.Some innovating applications such as inductive plasma installation or transformers, thermo inductive non-destructive testing and carbon-reinforced composite materials heating are studied. Analytical, semi-analytical and numerical models are combined to obtain the best modeling technique for each case. Each model has been tested with experimental results and validated. The principal aspects of a computational package to solve these kinds of coupled problems are described.In the first chapter, the mathematical tools for coupled electromagnetic and thermal phenomena are introduced. In Chapter 2, these tools are used to analyze a radio frequency inductive plasma installation. The third chapter describes the methodology of designing a low frequency plasma transformer. Chapter 4 studies the feasibility of the thermo inductive technique for non-destructive testing and the final chapter is dedicated to the use of induction heating in the lifecycle of carbon-reinforced composite materials.Contents1.
