Sacred Ecology

Sacred Ecology examines bodies of knowledge held by indigenous and other rural peoples around the world and asks how we can learn from this knowledge and ways of knowing. Berkes explores the importance of local and indigenous knowledge as a complement to scientific ecology and its cultural and political significance for indigenous groups themselves. With updates of relevant links for further learning and over 180 new references the fourth edition gives increased voice to indigenous authors and reflects the remarkable increase in published local observations of climate change.

Biology and Ecology of Edible Marine Bivalve Molluscs

This comprehensive volume provides a plethora of first-hand information on the diversity biology and ecology of edible marine bivalve molluscs. It covers the biology of edible marine bivalves; profiles about 180 species providing information on their habitat distribution morphology food and feeding reproduction conservation status etc. ; discusses their nutritional values; examines their pharmaceutical value; and looks at their diseases and parasites. This abundance of knowledge is presented in an easy-to-read style with informative illustrations. Marine bivalve molluscs play important roles in the marine ecosystems by filtering water and serving as habitat and prey for a variety of sea life. This diverse group of species estimated at around 9 200 inhabits virtually the entire world’s oceans from the balmy tropics to the sub-zero Arctic and from deep oceans to sandy and rocky shorelines. Among the marine bivalves a total of 180 species (including mussels oysters scallops cockles and clams) have long been a part of the diet of coastal human populations. Many species of marine bivalves are also commercially important for other purposes such as pearls and shells for jewelry and decoration. The volume part of the Biology and Ecology of Marine Life book series will be of great use to students and researchers in fisheries science marine biology aquatic biology and zoology.

Fast Facts for the Primary FRCA and EDAIC Basic Science for Anaesthetists

The Primary FRCA is a marathon exam that requires candidates to concentrate on solving MCQs first and then prepare for the OSCE and SOE viva. The EDAIC Part 1 involves MCQs and Part 2 uses viva to test candidates. All these exams demand a strong knowledge of basic sciences relevant to anaesthesia. The Fast Facts content aids quick revision in the lead up to the examinations and maximises the chances of exam success. Covering all the high-yield facts together with concept building the content ensures that students benefit at all stages of their preparation especially during the last few weeks before examinations. Past MCQs and core viva concepts have been presented in bullet points tabular format and diagrams for easy assimilation. The Primary FRCA is shifting towards asking SBAs and this book covers both the SBA and MTF formats of MCQs. It includes over 180 topics and is subdivided into sections on Physiology Pharmacology Physics and Anatomy. The key ingredient to get through any exam is confidence. By facilitating timely revision of the entire curriculum this book makes sure that candidates for both the Primary FRCA and for the EDAIC will enter the examination hall with a positive mindset and comprehensive knowledge of the basic sciences required by anaesthetists. | Fast Facts for the Primary FRCA and EDAIC Basic Science for Anaesthetists

Cone Beam Computed Tomography

Conventional computed tomography (CT) techniques employ a narrow array of x-ray detectors and a fan-shaped x-ray beam to rotate around the patient to produce images of thin sections of the patient. Large sections of the body are covered by moving the patient into the rotating x-ray detector and x-ray source gantry. Cone beam CT is an alternative technique using a large area detector and cone-shaped x-ray beam to produce 3D images of a thick section of the body with one full angle (360 degree or 180 degree plus detector coverage) rotation. It finds applications in situations where bulky conventional CT systems would interfere with clinical procedures or cannot be integrated with the primary treatments or imaging systems. Cone Beam Computed Tomography explores the past present and future state of medical x-ray imaging while explaining how cone beam CT with its superior spatial resolution and compact configuration is used in clinical applications and animal research. The book:Supplies a detailed introduction to cone beam CT covering basic principles and applications as well as advanced techniquesExplores state-of-the-art research and future developments while examining the fundamental limitations of the technologyAddresses issues related to implementation and system characteristics including image quality artifacts radiation dose and perceptionReviews the historical development of medical x-ray imaging from conventional CT techniques to volumetric 3D imagingDiscusses the major components of cone beam CT: image acquisition reconstruction processing and displayA reference work for scientists engineers students and imaging professionals Cone Beam Computed Tomography provides a solid understanding of the theory and implementation of this revolutionary technology.
