Griffin, 1979. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 5.5" X 8.75. H/B 158 pages, condition is Very Good, minor edge wear to the DJ. Animal diseases must be studied under field conditions if their natural history, economic importance, and connection with factors of management and environment are to be determined. This book is the first to set out the statistical background that is required specifically for such studies. Stressing the need for a working relationship between veterinary scientist and statistician, it explores the main problems encountered during the planning, execution and analysis of field investigations. Relevant statistical theory and techniques are clearly outlined without recourse to the difficult concepts of probability distributions. Data processing and analysis by computer are assumed; consequential effects on the design of forms and on data preparation are discussed in some detail, and techniques of analysis are related to the principles inherent in some widely available computer packages. Table analysis and the use of mathematical models (including curve fitting and regression) are considered, and methods for dealing with complications due to the rapid turnover of farm animal populations are discussed and exemplified. The relevance and shortcomings of conventional tests of significance in the evaluation of epidemiological and survey data are also discussed. Sample surveys receive special attention, and the text concludes with notes on the presentation of results in the form of a report or as a paper for publication. The book will be of great value to veterinary epidemiologists in developed or developing countries, for the guidance it gives on the investigation of animal diseases in the field, whether as an aid to planning control measures, for deciding research priorities, or for the laboratory study of a disease entity. Although not designed primarily for teaching, much of the contents could readily be adapted for inclusion in courses at undergraduate and graduate level for students of veterinary epidemiology or in the fields of public health and preventive medicine., Griffin, 1979, 3, ISBN: 9780521705189Cambridge University Press, 26 Jul 2012Paperback, 384 pagesDescriptionThis definitive introduction to finite element methods was thoroughly updated for this 2007 third edition, which features important material for both research and application of the finite element method. The discussion of saddle-point problems is a highlight of the book and has been elaborated to include many more nonstandard applications. The chapter on applications in elasticity now contains a complete discussion of locking phenomena. The numerical solution of elliptic partial differential equations is an important application of finite elements and the author discusses this subject comprehensively. These equations are treated as variational problems for which the Sobolev spaces are the right framework. Graduate students who do not necessarily have any particular background in differential equations, but require an introduction to finite element methods will find this text invaluable. Specifically, the chapter on finite elements in solid mechanics provides a bridge between mathematics and engineering., 0, ISBN: 9780521629584CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS, 01 Sep 2000Paperback | 240 pagesAn Introduction to Atmospheric Physics presents a broad coverage of atmospheric physics, including atmospheric thermodynamics, radiative transfer, atmospheric fluid dynamics and elementary atmospheric chemistry. Armed with an understanding of these topics, the interested student will be able to grasp the essential physics behind issues of current concern, such as the enhanced greenhouse effect and associated questions of climate change, and the Antarctic ozone hole and global ozone depletion, as well as more familiar processes such as the formation of raindrops and the development of weather systems. This book is intended as an introductory text for intermediate to advanced undergraduates studying atmospheric physics as part of physics, meteorology or environmental science courses. It will also be useful for graduate students studying atmospheric physics for the first time and for students of applied mathematics, physical chemistry and engineering who have an interest in the atmosphere., 0, San Diego, CA: Academic Press, 2006. 2nd Edition. Hardcover. Good/No Dust Jacket. 9.20 x 6.25 x 0.90 inches. This is the Second Edition, 5th printing (2006) of ""Chemical Fate and Transport in the Environment"" by Harold F. Hemond and Elizabeth J. Fechner-Levy. The book is in good condition. While the covers exhibit moderate wear with rubbed corners and exposed boards underneath, they remain structurally sound. The binding is square, indicating the book's durability. There is some staining on the inner corners of the text block near the spine, but this doesn't significantly impact the book's readability. Beyond this, the interior pages are clean and unmarked, preserving the text's integrity.This comprehensive volume delves into the fundamental principles of mass transport, chemical partitioning, and chemical/biological transformations in various environmental media, including surface waters, soil and groundwater, and air. It introduces each medium with descriptive overviews and then delves into the controlling processes. The book's emphasis on intuitively based mathematical models for chemical transport and transformations makes it a valuable resource for both academics and environmental practitioners.While originally developed for a one-semester graduate course, this edition serves as an essential reference for professionals in industry, consulting, and government agencies. The text includes ample examples, illustrations, and exercises at the end of each chapter, making it a practical resource for understanding the complexities of chemical fate and transport in the environment. It contains 433 pages plus an additional xi pages. Rest assured, the book will be meticulously packaged to protect it from the elements during shipment, complete with a USPS electronic tracking number.
