Sommario/riassunto

The use of the heat stored in the shallow subsurface for space heating (ground source heat) is widely used in North America and many European nations, such as Sweden, and is regarded as the most important and reliable 'green' space heating technology. In many nations, including Britain, the technology remains poorly understood and under used. This situation is about to change, however, with the



UK market for ground source heat pumps growing at over 100% per annum.This book offers practical guidance and will equip engineers, planners and geologists with the fundamental skills to assess

Sommario/riassunto

External fixation is one of the most versatile treatment options for fracture repair in small animals. The advantages include enhancing both the mechanical and biologic environment for optimal fracture healing. Veterinary external fixation is evolving and there are now improved techniques, better instrumentation and a continuing reduction in the incidence of complications. General veterinary practitioners can master the techniques and equipment costs are low.  This book offers a highly practical guide to the use of linear external fixators in small animal practice.
