Sommario/riassunto |
|
Microring/nanoring resonator is an interesting device that has been widely studied and investigated by researchers from a variety of specializations. This book begins with the basic background of linear and nonlinear ring resonators. A novel design of nano device known as a PANDA ring resonator is proposed. The use of the device in the form of a PANDA in applications such as nanoelectronics, measurement, communication, sensors, optical and quantum computing, drug delivery, hybrid transistor and a new concept of electron-hole pair is discussed in detail. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Written by a committee of safety professionals, this book creates a foundation document for the development and application of risk tolerance criteriaHelps safety managers evaluate the frequency, severity and consequence of human injuryIncludes examples of risk tolerance criteria used by NASA, Earthquake Response teams and the International Maritime Organization, amongst othersHelps achieve consistency in risk-based decision-makingReduces potential liabilities in the use of quantitative risk tolerance criteria through reference to an industry guidance document |

First published in 1983, Diseases of Sheep has become a definitive reference book on sheep diseases. This new edition has been revised and updated to maintain its original core structure and its international approach to the many diseases which affect sheep. Any veterinary surgeon or agriculturalist who works with sheep will continue to find the information in this book the most authoritative and comprehensive available. Known to many as the ""Moredun Sheep Book"" because of its association with the Moredun Research Institute, long recognised as a centre of excellence in sheep d |
