Septic shock is a common and lethal condition that remains one of the leading causes of death in the hospital. Greater awareness, understanding of the condition and knowledge of effective management may decrease the mortality rate. In this book, the authors discuss the symptoms, management and risk factors of septic shock. Topics include the pathophysiology of cardiovascular failure in septic shock; life threatening infections and septic shock during idiopathic drug-induced agranulocytosis; the role of HMGB1 in cardiac dysfunction during septic shock; the epidemiological impact of sepsis and septic shock; and possible implications for the treatment of septic patients with interventions aimed at opening microcirculation.

"Trump is extreme but he’s not a Martian. He is the logical conclusion of many of the most dangerous trends of the past half-century. He is the personification of the merger of humans and corporations-a one-man megabrand, with wife and children as spin-off brands. This book is to help understand how we arrived at this surreal political moment, how to keep it from getting a lot worse, and how, if we keep our heads, we can flip the script and seize the opportunity to make things a whole lot better in a time of urgent need. A tool-kit for shock-resistance."-from the Introduction

Free Download Shock-Wave Phenomena and the Properties of Condensed Matter By G. I. Kanel, V. E. Fortov, S. V. Razorenov (auth.)
2004 | 322 Pages | ISBN: 1441919163 | PDF | 19 MB
Strong shock waves present unique opportunities for investigations in the fields of physics of condensed matter, thermophysics, physics of strength and plasticity, and chemical physics under conditions of the highest possible rates of deformation, and high pressures and temperatures. The physics of shock waves in condensed matter deal with pressures from ~100 MPa to several hundreds of GPa (and up to ten TPa in some unique experiments), temperatures up to tens of thousands of K, and durations of load application from nanoseconds to a few microseconds. Behavior of a material under these extreme conditions often differs radically from expectations based on quasistatic observations. As an example, observed anomalous temperature dependencies of the strength properties of some metals were not predicted by theories. The investigations of shock-wave phenomena in condensed matter that are discussed in this book are stimulated by the necessity to develop methods for predicting effects of explosions, high-velocity collisions, and other sources of intense dynamic loading of materials and structures. In the modern view, complete predictability is achieved when computers can accurately simulate processes of interest. The simulations require development of thermophysical equations of state and constitutive relationships that describe processes of inelastic deformation and fracture, polymorphic transformations, chemical reactions, melting, vaporization, ionization, and other phenomena observed under these conditions. Systematic discussions of various aspects of thermomechanical behavior of solid materials of different classes when subjected to shock-wave loading comprise the main part of this book. It provides an account of recent Russian work in this field that is unique in its balanced coverage of theoretical, experimental, and computational results. The discussions include a comprehensive analysis of:The structure of compression and rarefaction waves in solids, experimental data on the dynamic yield and tensile strengths of metals and alloys at normal and elevated temperatures, and constitutive relationships that describe high-rate yielding Static and dynamic compressive deformation and fracture of brittle materials, and failure-wave phenomena Shock induced polymorphic transformation, melting, and vaporization Explosive initiation and detonation phenomena, with emphasis on macrokinetics of chemical energy release Physics of the most extreme states of matter accessible by shock compression.

Free Download Shock Waves @ Marseille IV: Shock Structure and Kinematics, Blast Waves and Detonations By L. F. Henderson (auth.), Professor Dr. Raymond Brun, Professor Dr. Lucien Z. Dumitrescu (eds.)
1995 | 505 Pages | ISBN: 364279534X | PDF | 23 MB
This volume is devoted to the problems directly connected to the propagation of shock waves, blast waves and detonations and their interaction with various ctructures, gaseous, liquid or solid. Shock focusing is the first subject whereas regular or Mach reflection processes, shock wave refraction and diffraction on diverse configurations such as wedge, cone, or corner, represent central themes for many following papers. The well-known problem of shock-interface interaction still constitutes an attractive subject and a number of papers are devoted to shock-jet, shock-vortex, and shock-layer interactions. Explosions and blast waves studies are well represented, and detonation phenomena in gaseous, solid or multiphasic media are largely treated. The kinetic structure of shock itself is also analyzed.Scientists working in the fields of shock-structure interaction will be interested by the number and level of corresponding papers, and engineers may be attracted by the multiple applied aspects of shock, blast and detonation propagation.

1995 | 485 Pages | ISBN: 3642788378 | PDF | 14 MB
This volume gathers papers treating effects of shock waves propagating in complex media, such as polyphasic and porous media, and in condensed matter: thus, two-phase flows with shock waves include dust and droplet gas suspensions, steam, bubbly liquids without or with evaporation or condensation. The second volume also includes papers devoted to industrial and environmental applications involving shock waves, and thus miscellaneous applied topics such as lasers, high-speed trains, car exhausts, and guns are concerned, as well as for environmental problems, volcanic eruptions, meteorite impacts, and orbital debris. Finally, biological aspects of shock waves are presented such as the effects on biliary and renal stones, cancerous tissues, and the pulmonary system.This volume addresses scientists working in the treated topics, such as multiphasic and porous media, and various categories of engineers or technicians, especially from both environmental and space technology, and medical personnel interested in biological effects and medical applications of shock waves.

This volume concerns the fracture and fragmentation of solid materials that occurs when they are subjected to extremes of stress applied at the highest possible rates. The plan for the volume is to address experimental, theoretical, and com putational aspects of high-rate dynamic fracture and fragmentation, with emphasis on recent work. We begin with several chapters in which the emphasis falls on experimental methods and observations. These chapters address both macroscopic responses and the microscopic cause of these re sponses. This is followed by several chapters emphasizing modeling-the physical explanation and mathematical representation of the observations. Some of the models are deterministic, while others focus on the stochastic aspects of the observations. Often, the ov\!rall objective of investigation of dynamic fracture and fragmentation phenomena is provision of a means for predicting the entire course of an event that begins with a stimulus such as an impact and proceeds through a complicated deformation and fracture pro cess that results in disintegration of the body and formation of a rapidly expanding cloud of debris fragments. Analysis of this event usually involves development of a continuum theory and computer code that captures the experimental observations by incorporating models of the important pheno mena into a comprehensive description of the deformation and fracture pro cess. It is to this task that the work of the last few chapters is devoted.
