Graduate Medical Education Issues


Free Download Caroline I. Hansen, "Graduate Medical Education Issues "
English | ISBN: 1611229022 | 2013 | 170 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Reforming medical education will be a key component in transforming the nation’s health care delivery system from one that historically has focused on care for acute illness, at the expense of chronic condition management, co-ordination of care across settings and disease prevention, to one that values patient-centred care, quality improvement and resource conservation. This new and important book examines the challenging issues in today’s graduate medical education.

An Invitation to Mathematical Logic (Graduate Texts in Mathematics, 301)


Free Download An Invitation to Mathematical Logic (Graduate Texts in Mathematics, 301) by David Marker
English | May 7, 2024 | ISBN: 3031553675 | 375 pages | MOBI | 62 Mb
In addition to covering the essentials, the author’s intention in writing this text is to entice the reader to further study mathematical logic. There is no current "standard text" for a first graduate course in mathematical logic and this book will fill that gap. While there is more material than could be covered in a traditional one semester course, an instructor can cover the basics and still have the flexibility to choose several weeks’ worth of interesting advanced topics that have been introduced. The text can and will be used by people in various courses with different sorts of perspectives. This versatility is one of the many appealing aspects of this book. A list of suggested portions to be covered in a single course is provided as well as a useful chart which maps chapter dependencies. Additionally, a motivated student will have ample material for further reading.

Toric Varieties (Graduate Studies in Mathematics)


Free Download David A. Cox, "Toric Varieties (Graduate Studies in Mathematics) "
English | ISBN: 0821848194 | 2011 | 841 pages | PDF | 12 MB
Toric varieties form a beautiful and accessible part of modern algebraic geometry. This book covers the standard topics in toric geometry; a novel feature is that each of the first nine chapters contains an introductory section on the necessary background material in algebraic geometry. Other topics covered include quotient constructions, vanishing theorems, equivariant cohomology, GIT quotients, the secondary fan, and the minimal model program for toric varieties. The subject lends itself to rich examples reflected in the 134 illustrations included in the text. The book also explores connections with commutative algebra and polyhedral geometry, treating both polytopes and their unbounded cousins, polyhedra. There are appendices on the history of toric varieties and the computational tools available to investigate nontrivial examples in toric geometry. Readers of this book should be familiar with the material covered in basic graduate courses in algebra and topology, and to a somewhat lesser degree, complex analysis. In addition, the authors assume that the reader has had some previous experience with algebraic geometry at an advanced undergraduate level. The book will be a useful reference for graduate students and researchers who are interested in algebraic geometry, polyhedral geometry, and toric varieties.

Plasma Theory An Advanced Guide for Graduate Students


Free Download Plasma Theory: An Advanced Guide for Graduate Students by Vladimir Rozhansky
English | November 28, 2023 | ISBN: 303144485X | 374 pages | MOBI | 40 Mb
This textbook, based on the author’s classroom-tested lecture course, helps graduate students master the advanced plasma theory needed to unlock results at the forefront of current research. It is structured around a two semester course, beginning with kinetic theory and transport processes, while the second semester is devoted to plasma dynamics, including MHD theory, equilibrium, and stability. More advanced problems such as neoclassical theory, stochastization of the magnetic field lines, and edge plasma physics are also considered, and each chapter ends with an illustrative example which demonstrates a concrete application of the theory. The distinctive feature of this book is that, unlike most other advanced plasma science texts, phenomena in both low and high temperature plasma are considered simultaneously so that theory of slightly ionized and fully ionized plasmas is presented holistically. This book will therefore be ideal as a classroom text or self-study guide for a widecohort of graduate students working in different areas like nuclear fusion, gas discharge physics, low temperature plasma applications, astrophysics, and more. It is also a useful reference for more seasoned researchers.

Graduate School Winning Strategies for Getting in


Free Download Ph.D., Bleu Quest, "Graduate School: Winning Strategies for Getting in"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 0968217362 | EPUB | pages: 241 | 0.3 mb
This book provides college students with all the information and advice they need to apply successfully to graduate school. In chapters 1 to 4 several misconceptions about graduate school are revealed and dispelled, including the most common myth that one must have excellent grades to get in, and that excellent grades are all that one needs. Certain factors that can play an even bigger role than GPA in determining the fate of an application are discussed, and the reader discovers how the process of selecting applicants actually works in most graduate programs; it is not the way that most people think! Students with outstanding grades will discover why they need more than just their grades to get into grad school and succeed once there. These other requirements are explained, along with numerous tips and suggestions for making sure that one has it all when it comes time to apply. Chapters 5, 6 and 7 go step-by-step through all stages of the application process, focusing on ways to maximize the quality of each of the five main components of a graduate school application: 1) application forms, 2) transcripts, 3) letters of recommendation, 4) standardized tests, and 5) the personal statement. Pitfalls of the application process are revealed, and the reader is shown how to avoid many of the costly mistakes that most graduate-school applicants unwittingly make. The later chapters, beginning with chapter 8, discuss how to go beyond the basic application requirements and take extra steps to stand apart from the crowd. Included are such topics as making pre-application contact with a prospective supervisor, writing proper cover letters, and preparing for interviews. Many of the ideas outlined in these chapters do not occur to most students, but those who understand and incorporate them into a strategy for applying to graduate school are almost always successful. The final chapter examines ways that students may find the money they need for graduate school. Intended for students in most disciplines within the Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and Humanities, the book also contains valuable insight and advice for students of Engineering, or Fine Arts, and for those seeking a degree in Business, Law, or Medicine. The author is a university professor whose advice has helped countless of students get into graduate school. Research for the book included surveys and interviews with Admissions Committees and Faculty members of graduate programs across North America.

English | 2024 | ISBN: 9819704324 | 325 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 27 MB
This book is an essential guide for veterinarians, veterinary faculty and policymakers for understanding the core competencies of a fresh veterinarian. The book briefly covers competencies in preclinical, paraclinical, and clinical subjects including anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, veterinary jurisprudence, animal management & welfare including nutrition and breeding, infectious and non-infectious diseases, disease epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment, prevention, control and zoonoses, surgical and other clinical interventions. The book further includes other competencies, including biologicals, anti-mortem, and post-mortem inspection, certifications, applied one health aspects, review and analysis of scientific evidence, international trade and regulations, and organization of veterinary services. It also highlights the importance of effective communication, interpersonal skills, record keeping and management of a small veterinary hospital, health informatics, etc. The book breakdowns the must-have competencies of a global veterinarian into different topics and subtopics for easy comprehension and further learning. It enables the professional standard-setting & regulatory bodies and academicians in improved curricula designing and implementation and more importantly tries to bring uniformity in day one veterinary graduates’ competencies globally, enhancing the movement and employability of veterinarians across the world.
