Tumors of the skull base continue to challenge surgeons; even in an era of groundbreaking technological advances there is no substitute for an in-depth knowledge of anatomy to achieve surgical success. This important new book serves two functions: it gives an exceptionally clear picture of the microsurgical anatomy of the cavernous sinus & surrounding areas, & it describes actual surgical approaches to the area.

Social Marketing for Public Health: Global Trends and Success Stories explores how traditional marketing principles and techniques are being used to increase the effectiveness of public health programs-around the world. While addressing the global issues and trends in social marketing, the book highlights successful health behavior change campaigns launched by governments, by a combination of governments, NGOs, and businesses, or by citizens themselves in 15 countries of five continents. Each chapter examines a unique, current success story, ranging from anti-smoking campaigns to HIV-AIDS prev
Government and Private Partnerships in Controlling Diseases and Promoting a
Healthy Lifestyle in Singapore Kavita Karan Social marketing involves
applications of commercial marketing techniques, with the influence of voluntary
behaviors as its core objective. In contemporary health-focused initiatives, the
use of mass media and community-centered prevention strategies are a
promising development, where empowerment of individuals and communities is
attempted to achieve ...
Enhances the use of enterprise models as an effective communication medium between business and technical personnel. Details the blue-print of the to-be developed business system.
Chapters 6 and 7 describe the formalisation and reasoning of the Process and
Procedural models. The automation of this modelling support framework
described in Figure 1.1 is based on manipulation of a formal logical language
DefBM that has been developed using a lightweight approach as described in
Section 3.3.5. Before we go into detail about DefBM and the automated support,
we should firstly understand the domain within which we are working: BSDM's
business models.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th European Conference on Modelling Foundations and Applications, held in Birmingham, UK, in June 2011. The 19 revised full foundations track papers and 5 revised full applications track papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 61 submissions; also included are 5 workshop summaries and abstracts of 4 tutorials. The papers are organized in topical sections on model execution, model analysis, methodology, model management, model transformation, variability analysis and ADLs, and domain-specific modeling.
Recent years have seen a proliferation of languages for describing embedded
systems. Some of these languages have emerged from domain-specific
frameworks, and some are adaptions or extensions of more general-purpose
languages. In this paper, we focus on two widely- used standard languages: the
Architecture Analysis and Design Language (AADL) and the Systems Modeling
Language (SysML). AADL was born as an avionics-focused domain-specific
language and later ...
The state of the art of the bioengineering aspects of the morphology of microorganisms and their relationship to process performance are described in this volume. Materials and methods of the digital image analysis and mathematical modeling of hyphal elongation, branching and pellet formation as well as their application to various fungi and actinomycetes during the production of antibiotics and enzymes are presented.
Thus, clearly, finding out which formulas <j> are logical consequences of some
set of formulas E is crucial to many areas of artificial intelligence, including
inductive logic programming. Accordingly, we would like to have a procedure, an
algorithm, which could find out whether or not E (= 4> is the case. What is an
algorithm? We will only give an informal explanantion here, referring to [HU79,
CLR90] for the more formal details. Intuitively, an algorithm is a procedure, a
specific sequence ...
Fierce competition in today's global market provides a powerful motivation for developing ever more sophisticated logistics systems. This book, written for the logistics manager and researcher, presents a survey of the modern theory and application of logistics. The goal of the book is to present the state-of-the-art in the science of logistics management. As a result, the authors have written a timely and authoritative survey of this field that many practitioners and researchers will find makes an invaluable companion to their work.

Examining what is involved in learning to write for academic purposes from a variety of perspectives, this book focuses in particular on issues related to academic writing instruction in diverse contexts, both geographical and disciplinary. Informed by current theory and research, leading experts in the field explain and illustrate instructional programs, tasks, and activities that help L2/multilingual writers develop knowledge of different genres, disciplinary expectations, and expertise in applying what they have learned in both educational and professional contexts.
They involve L2 writing teachers' knowledge (or lack of knowledge) of how to
teach the genres their students might need to ... for teaching genre, and ways to
integrate specific forms and functions of language into genre-based writing
activities.
