Pre-hospital obstetric incidents make up a significant proportion of the more costly litigation claims against UK ambulance services. These claims are based either on an alleged failure to identify and manage a problem or lack of appropriate equipment for the treatment of a preterm baby. For a number of years after the UK national paramedic […]
Cet ouvrage s’inspire de mon expérience issue de plusieurs années d’enseignement et de formation en informatique. J’ai souhaité faire bénéficier de cette expérience tous ceux qui, à des titres divers, peuvent être amenés à étudier XML, ou à mener à bien des développements qui impliquent son utilisation.

Avec plus de deux millions d’exemplaires écoulés en moins de deux ans, le Raspberry Pi est incontestablement le roi des nano-ordinateurs. De la taille d’une carte de crédit, sans écran ni clavier, et d’un prix modique, il s’avère pourtant suffisamment puissant et ouvert pour offrir une grande variété d’applications : robot, station météo, serveur web, […]
Brownian dynamics serve as mathematical models for the diffusive motion of microscopic particles of various shapes in gaseous, liquid, or solid environments. The renewed interest in Brownian dynamics is due primarily to their key role in molecular and cellular biophysics: diffusion of ions and molecules is the driver of all life. Brownian dynamics simulations are […]

This is an unconventional book on optics that goes in depth behind the emergence of physical superposition effects (SE) as experienced by detectors, rather than assuming that the interference phenomenon is simply created by the mathematical superposition principle (SP), which gives the prescription of directly summing the wave amplitudes, even though no force of interaction […]
The Handbook of Corporate Financial Risk Management has the rare quality of delivering exactly what its title promises. Over the years, managing financial risks has represented an everincreasing share of the workload of any chief financial officer (CFO), and this is unlikely to reverse any time soon. Our world has become more risky and more […]

Traumatic injuries, both intentionally inflicted and unintentional, have major health consequences worldwide. Although primarily a disease of younger adults, its morbidity and mortality are increasingly severe at the extremes of age. Expert multidisciplinary trauma care is recognized as the most important determinant of survival. This concept has far reaching implications for medical education, public health, […]
In imaging diagnosis, each case is usually made based on an individual radiologist’s memories of past cases with similar imaging features. Sometimes, one may fi nd a variety of imaging findings for a single disease, while, in other cases, different disease entities have similar imaging features. As I had once been a trainee in radiology […]
Modern German Grammar. A Practical Guide is an innovative reference grammar designed to be used with modern approaches to teaching and learning German as a foreign language. The book addresses learners’ practical needs by combining a detailed description of the grammatical structures of German with a ‘functional’ approach to language. By functions we mean the […]
