It effectively documents the need for equal treatment and equal health status for minorities. Intended as a resource for faculty and students in public health as well as the social sciences, it will be also be valuable to public health administrators and frontline staff who serve diverse racial and ethnic populations. The book brings together the best peer reviewed research literature from the leading scholars and faculty in this growing field, providing a historical and political context for the study of health, race, and ethnicity, with key findings on disparities in access, use, and quality. This volume also examines the role of health care providers in health disparities and discusses the issue of matching patients and doctors by race.There has been considerable new research since the original manuscript's preparation in 2001 and publication in 2002, and reflecting this, more than half the book is new content. New chapters cover: reflections on demographic changes in the US based on the current census; metrics and nomenclature for disparities; theories of genetic basis for disparities; the built environment; residential segregation; environmental health; occupational health; health disparities in integrated communities; Latino health; Asian populations; stress and health; physician/patient relationships; hospital treatment of minorities; the slavery hypertension hypothesis; geographic disparities; and intervention design"--Provided by publisher. 410 0$aPublic Health/Vulnerable Populations 606 $aDiscrimination in medical care 606 $aEthnic groups$xMedical care$zUnited States 606 $aMinorities$xMedical care$zUnited States 606 $aHealth services accessibility$zUnited States 606 $aPublic health$zUnited States 615 0$aDiscrimination in medical care. 615 0$aEthnic groups$xMedical care 615 0$aMinorities$xMedical care 615 0$aHealth services accessibility 615 0$aPublic health 676 $a362.108900973 686 $a498.1$2njb/09 686 $aWA 300 AA1$2njb/09 686 $a362.108900973$2njb/09 701 $aLaVeist$b Thomas Alexis$01495253 701 $aIsaac$b Lydia A.$f1977-$01495254 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785853803321 996 $aRace, ethnicity, and health$93719295 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04084nam 22006855 450 001 9910155273303321 005 20200701023145.0 010 $a9783319495712 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-49571-2 035 $a(CKB)3710000000964834 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-49571-2 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4756747 035 $a(PPN)197456154 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000964834 100 $a20161203d2017 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn|008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aCharacterizing Entanglement and Quantum Correlations Constrained by Symmetry /$fby Jordi Tura i Brugués 205 $a1st ed. 2017. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2017. 215 $a1 online resource (XXV, 237 p. 17 illus., 8 illus. in color.) 225 1 $aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 311 $a3-319-49570-4 311 $a3-319-49571-2 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters. 327 $aIntroduction -- Background -- PPT Entangled Symmetric States -- Nonlocality in Multipartite Quantum States -- Relating Entanglement and Nonlocality -- Atomic Monogamies of Correlations -- Conclusions and Outlook. 330 $aThis thesis focuses on the study and characterization of entanglement and nonlocal correlations constrained under symmetries. It includes original results as well as detailed methods and explanations for a number of different threads of research: positive partial transpose (PPT) entanglement in the symmetric states; a novel, experimentally friendly method to detect nonlocal correlations in many-body systems; the non-equivalence between entanglement and nonlocality; and elemental monogamies of correlations. Entanglement and nonlocal correlations constitute two fundamental resources for quantum information processing, as they allow novel tasks that are otherwise impossible in a classical scenario. However, their elusive characterization is still a central problem in quantum information theory. The main reason why such a fundamental issue remains a formidable challenge lies in the exponential growth in complexity of the Hilbert space as well as the space of multipartite correlations. Physical systems of interest, on the other hand, display symmetries that can be exploited to reduce this complexity, opening the possibility that some of these questions become tractable for such systems. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aQuantum theory 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aPhase transformations (Statistical physics) 606 $aCondensed matter 606 $aQuantum computers 606 $aSpintronics 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 606 $aMathematical Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M35000 606 $aQuantum Gases and Condensates$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24033 606 $aQuantum Information Technology, Spintronics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31070 615 0$aQuantum theory. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 0$aPhase transformations (Statistical physics) 615 0$aCondensed matter. 615 0$aQuantum computers. 615 0$aSpintronics. 615 14$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aMathematical Physics. 615 24$aQuantum Gases and Condensates. 615 24$aQuantum Information Technology, Spintronics. 676 $a530.12 700 $aTura i Brugués$b Jordi$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0818790 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155273303321 996 $aCharacterizing Entanglement and Quantum Correlations Constrained by Symmetry$91825350 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04798nam 22005775 450 001 9910337894003321 005 20250609111834.0 010 $a3-030-03186-1 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-03186-2 035 $a(CKB)4100000007223695 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5620174 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-03186-2 035 $a(PPN)232960682 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5917783 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000007223695 100 $a20181214h20192019 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aWater as an Inescapable Risk $eCurrent Global Water Availability, Quality and Risks with a Specific Focus on South Africa /$fby Anja du Plessis 205 $a1st edition 2019. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2019. 215 $a1 online resource (xxi, 299 pages) 225 1 $aSpringer Water,$x2364-6934 311 08$a3-030-03185-3 327 $aPart 1: Water as a Global Risk -- Ch.1 Current and Future Water Availability -- Ch.2 Current and Future Water Scarcity and Stress -- Ch.3 Climate Change: Current Drivers, Observations and Impacts on the Globe?s Natural and Human Systems -- Ch.4 Climate Change and Freshwater Resources: Current Observations, Impacts, Vulnerabilities and Future Risks -- Ch.5 Primary Water Quality Challenges, Contaminants and the World?s Dirtiest Places -- Ch.6 Water as a Source of Conflict and Global Risk -- Part 2: Water as a Regional and National Risk -- Ch.7 Evaluation of southern and South Africa?s Freshwater Resources -- Ch.8 Establishing South Africa?s Current Water Quality Risk Areas -- Ch.9 Current Water Quality Risk Areas for Limpopo, Olifants and the Inkomati-Usuthu WMAs.-Ch.10 Current Water Quality Risk Areas for Vaal, Pongola-Mtamvuna and Orange WMAs -- Ch.11 Current Water Quality Risk Areas for Berg-Olifants,Breede-Gouritz and Mzimvubu-Tsitsikamma WMAs -- Ch.12 South Africa?s Water Reality: Challenges, Solutions, Actions and a Way Forward. 330 $aThe book presents an interdisciplinary systematic evaluation of increasing water stress and scarcity over the globe and specifically South Africa. South Africa is used as the prime example as the country is experiencing similar water challenges in terms of availability and quality as most regions across the globe. Water availability is predominantly used to illustrate water scarcity however, continued degradation of the world?s freshwater resources, by a multitude of natural and anthropogenic factors, have consequently exacerbated water stress and scarcity due to it being of insufficient quality for various uses. The increase of water scarcity through both natural and anthropogenic factors has in turn led to water being viewed as an increasing risk within all spheres. Water as a source of conflict has come to the forefront especially within regions which struggle to meet the increasing demands from different water users and trying to achieve future sustainability of the resource. The increase of water scarcity and stress as well as the continued pressure of population and economic growth has brought various new challenges into play. This book focuses on water as an increasing risk over the globe and specifically South Africa by reviewing both water availability and quality, evaluating water as a global and national risk. The book concludes by focusing on current limitations, necessary strategic actions as well as possible policy-related changes which may be required to adapt to future water challenges and to lessen water as an increasing risk. 410 0$aSpringer Water,$x2364-6934 606 $aEnvironmental sciences 606 $aWater quality 606 $aWater$xPollution 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aEnvironmental Science and Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G37000 606 $aWater Quality/Water Pollution$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/212000 606 $aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences. 615 0$aWater quality. 615 0$aWater$xPollution. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 14$aEnvironmental Science and Engineering. 615 24$aWater Quality/Water Pollution. 615 24$aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management. 676 $a363.610968 676 $a363.610968 700 $aDu Plessis$b Anja$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$00 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337894003321 996 $aWater as an Inescapable Risk$92205541 997 $aUNINA
