Free Download Gabriel L. Navarro, "Marcellus Shale and Shale Gas:: Facts and Considerations "
English | ISBN: 1614701733 | 2012 | 169 pages | PDF | 5 MB
The Marcellus Shale is a sedimentary rock formation deposited over 350 million years ago in a shallow inland sea located in the eastern United States where the present-day Appalachian Mountains now stand. This shale contains significant quantities of natural gas. New developments in drilling technology, along with higher wellhead prices, have made the Marcellus Shale an important natural gas resource. This book explores water resources and natural gas production from the Marcellus Shale; the impact of Marcellus Shale gas play on current and future Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) activities; and, applying this technology to solve America’s energy challenges.

Free Download Stroke Management in Vietnam: Key Considerations for the Implementation of Healthcare Services
English | 2024 | ISBN: 9819602203 | 279 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 48 MB
This book covers the epidemiology, diagnosis, acute treatment, and rehabilitation of stroke, the most common cause of death and disability in Vietnam. Stroke survivors are frequently left severely affected, including symptoms such as paralysis, difficulty swallowing/talking, balance problems, dizziness, and memory loss. The book contains chapters on prevention and treatment, current research, health economics, traditional medicine, optimal organization of care, pharmacology, and much more. Because stroke survivors have long-term disabilities, understanding the training requirements for stroke staff is critical. ‘Stroke in Vietnam’ is written by leading stroke professionals from Vietnam and internationally, and it will be helpful to all health professionals, including nurses, therapists, doctors, and medical students in Vietnam, Southeast Asia, and worldwide.

Free Download How Energy Considerations Have Shaped Our Fundamental Modern Theories of Physics: Theory and Key Historical Moments by E. B. Manoukian
English | April 20, 2024 | ISBN: 3031511980 | 287 pages | MOBI | 32 Mb
At long last, with sufficient technical details, emphasizing key historical moments, a book that develops all of fundamental modern theoretical physics from energy considerations in a compact form. Starting with a few electron-volts of atoms in the quantum world at low energies extending up to quantum gravity and beyond to the birth of the Universe, readers will experience the entire spectrum of fundamental modern theoretical physics, with one theory leading to another in an integrated unified manner. Energy considerations lead to the development of special and general relativity, quantum field theory, renormalization theory, modern quantum electrodynamics, electro-weak theory, the standard model of particle physics, grand unified theories, string theory, the current standard model of inflationary big bang theory, and even to the birth of the Higgs field, and in developments of quantum gravity. Unfortunately, due to strong specialization within theirfields, students and many practicing physicists are exposed only to parts of the beautiful story of modern fundamental physics. Here the entire story is told!

Free Download Psychosocial Considerations in Pediatric Kidney Conditions: Guidance for Collaborative Practice
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031646711 | 397 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 12 MB
This book explores the psychosocial impacts of the kidney disease process and treatments on pediatric patients, including child development, schooling, coping, and resilience. Chronic illnesses and invasive treatments can be particularly impactful on children’s development and identity formation, and a multidisciplinary treatment model that takes psychosocial considerations into account is imperative for patients’ overall wellbeing. This book covers both specific disease-related concerns, including dialysis, transplantation, and nutrition, and broader issues such as collaborating with schools, supporting families, advocacy, and the transition to adult healthcare.

Free Download Managing Complexity: Practical Considerations in the Development and Application of ABMs to Contemporary Policy Challenges By Sean O’Brien, Mirsad Hadžikadić (auth.), Mirsad Hadzikadic, Sean O’Brien, Moutaz Khouja (eds.)
2013 | 173 Pages | ISBN: 3642392946 | PDF | 11 MB
This book emerged out of a project initiated and funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that sought to build on efforts to transform agent-based models into platforms for predicting and evaluating policy responses to real world challenges around the world. It began with the observation that social science theories of human behavior are often used to estimate the consequences of alternative policy responses to important issues and challenges. However, alternative theories that remain subject to contradictory claims are ill suited to inform policy.The vision behind the DARPA project was to mine the social sciences literature for alternative theories of human behavior, and then formalize, instantiate, and integrate them within the context of an agent-based modeling system. The research team developed an experimental platform to evaluate the conditions under which alternative theories and groups of theories applied. The end result was a proof of concept developed from the ground up of social knowledge that could be used as an informative guide for policy analysis. This book describes in detail the process of designing and implementing a pilot system that helped DARPA assess the feasibility of a computational social science project on a large scale.

Free Download Samuel Scheffler, "The Rejection of Consequentialism: A Philosophical Investigation of the Considerations Underlying Rival Moral Conceptions"
English | 1994 | pages: 207 | ISBN: 0198235119, 0198235100 | PDF | 1,0 mb
In contemporary philosophy, substantive moral theories are typically classified as either consequentialist or deontological. Standard consequentialist theories insist, roughly, that agents must always act so as to produce the best available outcomes overall. Standard deontological theories, by contrast, maintain that there are some circumstances where one is permitted but not required to produce the best overall results, and still other circumstances in which one is positively forbidden to do so. Classical utilitarianism is the most familiar consequentialist view, but it is widely regarded as an inadequate account of morality. Although Samuel Scheffler agrees with this assessment, he also believes that consequentialism seems initially plausible, and that there is a persistent air of paradox surrounding typical deontological views. In this book, therefore, he undertakes to reconsider the rejection of consequentialism. He argues that it is possible to provide a rationale for the view that agents need not always produce the best possible overall outcomes, and this motivates one departure from consequentialism; but he shows that it is surprisingly difficult to provide a satisfactory rationale for the view that there are times when agents must not produce the best possible overall outcomes. He goes on to argue for a hitherto neglected type of moral conception, according to which agents are always permitted, but not always required, to produce the best outcomes.
