Abstract

The Second-Order Adjoint Sensitivity Analysis Methodology generalizes the First-Order Theory presented in the author’s previous books published by CRC Press. This breakthrough has many applications in sensitivity and uncertainty analysis, optimization, data assimilation, model calibration, and reducing uncertainties in model predictions. The book has many illustrative examples that will help readers understand the complexity of the subject and will enable them to apply this methodology to problems in their own fields. Highlights: • Covers a wide range of needs, from graduate students to advanced researchers • Provides a text positioned to be the primary reference for high-order sensitivity and uncertainty analysis • Applies to all fields involving numerical modeling, optimization, quantification of sensitivities in direct and inverse problems in the presence of uncertainties. About the Author: Dan Gabriel Cacuci is a South Carolina SmartState Endowed Chair Professor and the Director of the Center for Nuclear Science and Energy, Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of South Carolina. He has a Ph.D. in Applied Physics, Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering from Columbia University. He is also the recipient of many awards including four honorary doctorates, the Ernest Orlando Lawrence Memorial award from the U.S. Dept. of Energy and the Arthur Holly Compton, Eugene P. Wigner and the Glenn Seaborg Awards from the American Nuclear Society.

Abstract

Dans cet essai dense et limpide, savant et profond, érudit mais sans lourdeur aucune, Emanuele Coccia s'interroge sur la sensibilité, sur la vie sensible. " Etre sensible ", " être trop sensible ", " heurter la sensibilité de quelqu'un " - nous avons souvent recours à ces expressions pour définir ce qui nous plaît, ce qui nous touche, ce qui nous affecte. Nous sommes sensibles et cette sensibilité est le commerce que nous entretenons avec la vie même. Mais si la sensibilité est si évidemment présente en nous, si elle est l'évidence même, si nous cherchons, par tous les moyens, à jouir d'elle et à jouir avec elle, comment se fait-il que la philosophie lui ait comme tourné le dos ? Comment se fait-il même qu'elle y ait vu ce dont nous devions nous détourner ? Ce livre est donc en premier lieu une réhabilitation de la sensibilité. Car cette réhabilitation est urgente. De fait, par la sensibilité nous tenons au monde et le monde tient à nous. Mais cette réhabilitation prend aussi la forme d'une réflexion inattendue sur l'image - cette modalité par laquelle nous rendons sensibles les idées. L'image n'est-elle pas la forme sensible de l'autre ? Le sensible n'est-il pas le lieu de production et le réceptacle des images ? A travers de brefs paragraphes qui invitent au rêve et à la méditation, cet essai riche et stimulant s'articule en deux parties qui tendent, la première à définir ce que nous appelons sensibilité, vie sensible, la seconde à penser le rapport de l'image et de la sensibilité.

Abstract

Contact urticaria is an immediate but transient localized swelling and redness that occurs on the skin after direct contact with an offending substance. It is caused by a variety of compounds, such as foods, preservatives, fragrances, plant and animal products, metals, and rubber latex and the mechanism by which these provoke an immediate urticarial rash at the area of contact can be divided into two categories: non-immunological contact urticaria and immunological (allergic) contact urticaria. Non-immunological contact urticaria typically causes mild localized reactions that clear within hours, e.g. stinging nettle rash. This type of urticaria occurs without prior exposure of a patient's immune system to an allergen. Immunological contact urticaria occurs most commonly in atopic individuals (people who are prone to allergy). Hence prior exposure to an allergen is required for this type of contact urticaria to occur. While there have been other texts written on the subject over the last decade, this book is intended as an easily accessible guide for dermatologists and residents, as well as general practitioners, summarizing the most important concepts that will help physicians identify the signs and symptoms of Contact Urticaria Syndrome in their daily clinical practice. Each chapter is laid out in the following format: Concepts, Tools and Algorithms of Diagnosis and Management, a Clinical Case for each entry, and Recommendations. Additionally, the Volume Editors have worked to provide a global approach to this syndrome using internationally standardized requirements for diagnosis.

Abstract

Cet ouvrage se propose de réfléchir à la construction historique de la condition de victime, en relation avec les événements traumatiques dans l'Europe médiévale et moderne. Dans le contexte contemporain, le discours et la gestion des situations de catastrophe ou de mort de masse s'organisent en priorité autour de la place des victimes dans la fabrique événementielle. Cette attitude de la société contemporaine face à la dévastation, qualifiée tantôt de ± compassionnelle ?, tantôt ± d'humanitaire ?, ou bien encore de ± tragique ?, reflète une forme de sensibilité qui définit en premier lieu la réalité catastrophique comme un drame.00Une telle approche de la souffrance possède-t-elle cependant une histoire ou constitue-t-elle une constante anthropologique de la société occidentale ? Quel regard les sociétés médiévales et modernes ont-elles posé sur cet aspect autant éthique que social du réel ? Les essais réunis dans ce volume proposent d'offrir quelques pistes de réflexion. À la lecture ambiguë de la victime au Moyen Âge, entre souffrance et responsabilité, la Renaissance semble commencer à proposer une vision plus ± tragique ? des individus souffrants. Les victimes peuvent dès lors entrer progressivement dans une politique des émotions qui triomphe au XVIIIe siècle.00Thomas Labbé est chercheur associé à l?UMR CNRS 6298 ARTeHIS, Université de Bourgogne.0Gerrit J.

Abstract

In recent years, advanced molecular techniques in diagnostic microbiology have been revolutionizing the practice of clinical microbiology in the hospital setting. Molecular diagnostic testing in general and nucleic acid-based amplification methods in particular have been heralded as diagnostic tools for the new millennium. This third edition covers not only the most recent updates and advances, but details newly invented omic techniques, such as next generation sequencing. It is divided into two distinct volumes, with Volume 1 describing the techniques, and Volume 2 addressing their applications in the field. In addition, both volumes focus more so on the clinical relevance of the test results generated by these techniques than previous editions. .

Abstract

This volume has been compiled in response to the ongoing revolution in our understanding of metal contact allergy, and the ensuing challenge this has created for clinicians and others to synthesize large amounts of sometimes contradictory data. It opens by providing a comprehensive overview of the use and regulation of metals in our society, metal properties, and available testing methodologies. Common and uncommon metal allergens and sources of exposure are then reviewed in depth, and detailed sections are devoted to hypersensitivity to metal implants (which may be associated with device failure and/or dermatitis), metal allergy in select patient populations, and less frequently encountered manifestations of metal allergy. The prevalence of metal allergy in the general population is high: up to 17% of people are allergic to nickel, and 1–3% to cobalt and chromium. Environmental sources of metal exposure include jewelry, clothing, electronic devices, coins, leather, diet, and occupational exposure. As metals are ubiquitous, this book will be an indispensable reference text for a wide range of clinicians and investigators, meeting the needs of all who are interested in metal allergy and its diagnosis and management. .
