This book presents the theory of quantum effects used in metrology and results of the author's own research in the field of quantum electronics. The book provides also quantum measurement standards used in many branches of metrology for electrical quantities, mass, length, time and frequency. This book represents the first comprehensive survey of quantum metrology problems. As a scientific survey, it propagates a new approach to metrology with more emphasis on its connection with physics. This is of importance for the constantly developing technologies and nanotechnologies in particular. Providing a presentation of practical applications of the effects used in quantum metrology for the construction of quantum standards and sensitive electronic components, the book is useful for a wide audience of physicists and metrologists in the broad sense of both terms. In 2014 a new system of units, the so called Quantum SI, is introduced. This book helps to understand and approve the new system to both technology and academic community.

La sexta edición de este texto representa una evolución continua en el intento por comunicar a la audiencia el campo cada vez más complejo y desafiante del diagnóstico microbiológico. La organización general del texto, similar a la de las ediciones anteriores, contiene cambios importantes para reflejar la naturaleza dinamica de la especialidad.La explicacion ampliada del manejo y las cuestiones reguladoras en el laboratorio de diagnostico microbiologico refleja la realidad del ejercicio medico moderno.En esta edicion se presta una atencion apropiada a las tecnicas tradicionales que siguen teniendo importancia en los laboratorios clinicos, pero la importancia creciente de los metodos inmunologicos y sobre todo de las tecnicas moleculares justifica una discusion explicita de sus principios asi como una amplia cobertura en capitulos individuales cuando es apropiado.La filosofia subyacente sigue siendo la misma: el objetivo es proporcionar una explicacion extensa pero practica de la ciencia y el arte del diagnostico microbiologico. El libro proporciona una revision para estudiantes graduados, residentes de Anatomia Patologica y becarios de enfermedades infecciosas.

This is the second edition of a highly succesful book which has sold nearly 3000 copies world wide since its publication in 1997.

Surveying developments in coating polymers and plastics, this book examines proper materials selection, basic processing mechanics, process selection based on cost and coating mechanics, molding, and performance and durability assessments. Evaluating the cost-performance considerations in coating selection for polymers and plastics, Coatings of Polymers and Plastics is a reference tailored for busy professionals or students in coatings courses. It highlights techniques for salvaging plastics from used vehicles, including the recycling of automotive plastics, and compares North American and European techniques for coating plastics in the automotive industry.

More than 12 years have passed since the publication of the first edition of Crisis and Emergency Management. During that time numerous disasters-from 9/11 to massive earthquakes in Iran and China, to the giant Asian Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and the Fukushima Tsunami and ensuing nuclear meltdown-have changed the way we manage catastrophic events. With contributions from leading experts, this second edition features 40 new chapters that address recent worldwide crises and what we have learned from emergency responses to them.See What's New in the Second Edition:Up-to-date concepts, theories, and practicesAnalysis of recent disasters and their effect on emergency managementPolicy and managerial lessonsSuggestions for capacity building in crisis and emergency managementThe book covers a wide range of international issues using critical, empirical, and quantitative analyses. It discusses various approaches to topics such as resolving political tension and terrorism issues, the potential use of biological weapons, and the role of public relations in crisis. The author offers insight into organizational and community resiliency development; a "surprise management" theory in practice for upgrading the knowledge and skills in managing crises and governing emergencies; and better and more effective organizational, political, social, and managerial coordination in the processes.He presents case studies that enhance and advance the future theory and practice of crisis and emergency management, while at the same time providing practical advice that can be put to use immediately. Managing crises and governing emergencies in such an age of challenges demands a different kind of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that were not available yesterday. This book gives you valuable information with applications at the macro, micro, organizational, and interorganizational levels, preparing you for emergency management in an increasingly globalized and uncertain world.

Hidrología Subterránea. Tomo Ii Custodio, E. - Llamas, M.R. Hasta hace relativamente pocos años, la hidrología subterránea era una disciplina que solamente atraía la atención de un grupo reducido de investigadores de las ciencias de la Tierra y de la ingenieria. En la actualidad el numero de personas interesadas por las aguas subterraneas, en los campos cientifico, tecnico, socioeconomico, administrativo y legal, es ya importante, y se esta produciendo una clara toma de conciencia de su importancia intrinseca y de su papel esencial en el ciclo hidrologico y de su interes social y economico, tanto en los paises desarrollados como en aquellos en vias de desarrollo. El origen de esta obra debe buscarse en el Curso Internacional de Hidrologia Subterranea que se realizo en Barcelona en el año 1966.
