Image Atlas of COVID-19 covers this novel and emerging respiratory infectious disease. Although the gold standard for clinical diagnosis of COVID-19 remains the nucleic acid test for SARS-CoV-2, chest CT scans have been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 as simple and fast diagnostic methods. The latter has proven crucial when faced with a large volume of symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. The imaging manifestations of COVID-19 have some specific characteristics, hence a better understanding of imaging findings is of great value for detecting lesions, evaluating lesion severity, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, and assessment of therapeutic options and prognosis.

IBM SPSS Statistics 27 Step by Step: A Simple Guide and Reference, seventeenth edition, takes a straightforward, step-by-step approach that makes SPSS software clear to beginners and experienced researchers alike. Extensive use of four-color screen shots, clear writing, and step-by-step boxes guide readers through the program. Output for each procedure is explained and illustrated, and every output term is defined. Exercises at the end of each chapter support students by providing additional opportunities to practice using SPSS. This book covers the basics of statistical analysis and addresses more advanced topics such as multidimensional scaling, factor analysis, discriminant analysis, measures of internal consistency, MANOVA (between- and within-subjects), cluster analysis, Log-linear models, logistic regression, and a chapter describing residuals. The end sections include a description of data files used in exercises, an exhaustive glossary, suggestions for further reading, and a comprehensive index. IBM SPSS Statistics 27 Step by Step is distributed in 85 countries, has been an academic best seller through most of the earlier editions, and has proved an invaluable aid to thousands of researchers and students. New to this edition: , explanations, and step-by-step boxes have been fully updated to reflect SPSS 27 A new chapter on a priori power analysis helps researchers determine the sample size needed for their research before starting data collection. IBM SPSS Statistics 27 Step by Step: A Simple Guide and Reference, seventeenth edition, takes a straightforward, step-by-step approach that makes SPSS software clear to beginners and experienced researchers alike.

Hydrodynamic Lubrication of Non-Newtonian Fluids covers basic theory, lubrication failure and numerical methods and procedures. The title offers a feasible method for solving the hydrodynamic lubrication problem for non-Newtonian fluids. Whereas hydrodynamic lubrication in Newtonian fluids can be solved using the existing Reynolds equation, hydrodynamic lubrication in non-Newtonian fluid is much more difficult to solve because the non-Newtonian constitutive equation is nonlinear. Engineers and technicians working on non-Newtonian fluid lubrication calculation and analysis will find this to be an invaluable reference on the latest thinking on hydrodynamic lubrication.
