Civil Avionics Systems
Author: Ian Moir
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 111853672X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 619
Book Description
Civil Avionics Systems, Second Edition, is an updated and in-depth practical guide to integrated avionic systems as applied to civil aircraft and this new edition has been expanded to include the latest developments in modern avionics. It describes avionic systems and potential developments in the field to help educate students and practitioners in the process of designing, building and operating modern aircraft in the contemporary aviation system. Integration is a predominant theme of this book, as aircraft systems are becoming more integrated and complex, but so is the economic, political and technical environment in which they operate. Key features: • Content is based on many years of practical industrial experience by the authors on a range of civil and military projects • Generates an understanding of the integration and interconnectedness of systems in modern complex aircraft • Updated contents in the light of latest applications • Substantial new material has been included in the areas of avionics technology, software and system safety The authors are all recognised experts in the field and between them have over 140 years’ experience in the aircraft industry.

FDG-PET/CT and PET/MR in Cardiovascular Diseases
Author: Matthieu Pelletier-Galarneau
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031098072
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
This book is a clinically oriented, up-to-date, and in-depth review of the various applications of FDG-PET/CT and PET/MR in cardiovascular diseases with emphasis on the current available evidence. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) has seen increased applications in cardiovascular diseases over the last decades. Its utility is already established in a wide range of conditions, including myocardial viability imaging, assessment of inflammatory diseases such as sarcoidosis and vasculitis, as well as imaging of infectious processes, such as infective endocarditis and cardiac implantable electronic device infection. In addition, there are several emerging indications such as the imaging of left ventricular assisting device infection and native valve endocarditis as well as new applications under investigation. The first section of the book reviews the technical basis of cardiovascular PET/CT and PET/MR imaging as well as cardiac metabolism. The following chapters each present specific pathologies, presenting epidemiology, pathophysiology, and diagnostic strategies, along with high quality clinical cases to support the discussion. The final chapter is a review of 15 interesting and clinically relevant cases. This is an ideal guide for nuclear medicine physicians, cardiologists, radiologists, residents, post-graduate fellows, and technologists.

Organic Chemistry
Author: David R. Klein
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119820839
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1395
Book Description
Organic Chemistry, 4th Edition provides a comprehensive, yet accessible treatment of all the essential organic chemistry concepts covered in a two-semester course. Presented with a skills-based approach that bridges the gap between organic chemistry theory and real-world practice, the book places special emphasis on developing their problem-solving skills through applied exercises and activities. It incorporates Klein's acclaimed SkillBuilder program which contains a solved problem that demonstrates a skill and several practice problems of varying difficulty levels�including conceptual and cumulative problems that challenge students to apply the skill in a slightly different environment. An up-to-date collection of literature-based problems exposes students to the dynamic and evolving nature of organic chemistry and its active role in addressing global challenges. The text is also enriched with numerous hands-on activities and real-world examples that help students understand both the "why" and the "how" behind organic chemistry.

Book Description
Written for an industry in perpetual motion, Digital Radio Production takes a holistic approach and prepares students to join the business of radio in both large and small markets and across multiple digital platforms. The author shares his 20 years of experience and invaluable insights into radio production, communication, and promotion. The potential of developing technologies like artificial intelligence and voice cloning and their impacts on the world of radio and the professionals who work in it cannot be ignored. In the fourth edition these topics are discussed, along with how and what people listen to on the radio in the twenty-first century. A new chapter on podcasting explores the development of podcasts, as well as the preplanning and equipment needed to create an episode. The flexibility of today’s digital consoles, audio processing software, and delivery formats create more opportunities for creativity and growth in the industry. Fully updated, the text enhances students’ technical skills and knowledge of digital audio recording and transmission. Each chapter features suggested activities outside the classroom, key informative websites, and a glossary of industry terms. The text is accompanied by over 80 audio examples of virtually every aspect of radio production (from microphone techniques to commercial production samples), an outstanding selection of production music that can be creatively reworked and transformed, and a custom studio-tracking session with suggested activities.
