Rapid Bioassessment of Stream Health

Rapid Bioassessment of Stream Health

Tasked by the Clean Water Act to restore and maintain the integrity of their waters state and local governments must develop systems for assessing the health of the streams within their borders. They quickly find that one size does not fit all when it comes to sampling. Rapid Bioassessment of Stream Health examines the sampling techniques laboratory methods and data analysis necessary to create a protocol for analyzing the health of streams using rapid bioassessment techniques. The editors explore how to determine reference streams in each ecoregion and subecoregion with specific indices of health. They provide field methods for monitoring and sampling invertebrates and laboratory methods for subsampling. The work focuses on the application of the EPA’s Rapid Bioassessment Protocol (RBP) but suggests various techniques that can be used to improve sampling protocols and quality control where necessary. It also includes general listings of health classifications appendices of more than 300 streams that have been sampled and a GIS method for designating the reference condition for purposes of comparison in each ecological unit. Although the EPA’s RBP Manual is considered to be the standard of information on the types of metrics that can be used this book explores from a state regulatory standpoint the practical development of such a system to begin compliance with critical sections of the Clean Water Act. A compendium of information about prioritizing those streams and small rivers requiring analysis this book contains guidelines on the assessment of streams in a particular ecoregion and sampling streams that are at least impaired as points of comparison. It supplies guidance for the production of other rapid bioassessment tools customized to various ecoregions and subecoregions.

Quantitative Phase Field Modelling of Solidification

Quantitative Phase Field Modelling of Solidification

This book presents a study of phase field modelling of solidification in metal alloy systems. It is divided in two main themes. The first half discusses several classes of quantitative multi-order parameter phase field models for multi-component alloy solidification. These are derived in grand potential ensemble thus tracking solidification in alloys through the evolution of the chemical potentials of solute species rather than the more commonly used solute concentrations. The use of matched asymptotic analysis for making phase field models quantitative is also discussed at length and derived in detail in order to make this somewhat abstract topic accessible to students. The second half of the book studies the application of phase field modelling to rapid solidification where solute trapping and interface undercooling follow highly non-equilibrium conditions. In this limit matched asymptotic analysis is used to map phase field evolution equations onto the continuous growth model which is generally accepted as a sharp-interface description of solidification at rapid solidification rates. This book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in materials science and materials engineering. Key Features Presents a clear path to develop quantitative multi-phase and multi-component phase field models for solidification and other phase transformation kinetics Derives and discusses the quantitative nature of the model formulations through matched interface asymptotic analysis Explores a framework for quantitative treatment of rapid solidification to control solute trapping and solute drag dynamics | Quantitative Phase Field Modelling of Solidification

Infectious Diseases and Antimicrobial Stewardship in Critical Care Medicine

Infectious Diseases and Antimicrobial Stewardship in Critical Care Medicine

Infectious Diseases and Antimicrobial Stewardship in Critical Care Medicine 4E has been fully updated and revised. The clinical diagnostic approach to common infectious disease problems in the CCU is the underlying theme in the book. Emphasized throughout is the importance of formulating an accurate early presumptive clinical syndromic diagnosis which is the basis for selecting optimal initial antimicrobial therapy in the CCU. Without an accurate presumptive clinical diagnosis effective therapy is unlikely at best. Based on the most probable clinical diagnosis optimal antibiotic empiric therapy based on antimicrobial stewardship principles minimizes resistance and antibiotic complications in the CCU. This new edition features chapters that explain the tenets of differential diagnostic reasoning differential diagnostic characteristics of fever patterns in the CCU. The proper interpretation of rapid diagnostic tests in the appropriate clinical context is included. The diagnostic importance of cardinal clinical findings particularly when combined in the appropriate clinical context is emphasized and remains the basis for clinical problem solving in the CCU. Uniquely critical diagnostic physical findings in the CCU including color atlas of diagnostic eye findings are included as important diagnostic determinants in the CCU. Written by infectious disease clinicians for CCU consultants Infectious Diseases and Antimicrobial Stewardship in Critical Care Medicine 4E remains a useful evidence based and experience tempered key clinical resource for infectious disease problems in the CCU. Key FeaturesEssentials of the tenets of clinical diagnostic reasoning is explained as it relates to formulating a rapid and accurate clinical syndromic diagnosis in the CCUThe diagnostic significance of fever patterns and their relationship to the pulse rate in the proper clinical context is explained in depth as related to the CCU settingFormulating an accurate early clinical syndromic diagnosis is presented as essential since it is the basis of effective empiric antibiotic therapy in the CCUHow to combine key non-specific laboratory and imaging findings to increase diagnostic specificity and diagnostic probability in the CCU is presentedClinical perspective on the proper interpretation of the clinical significance of rapid diagnostic test results in the CCU is includedA clinical approach to apparent antibiotic failure in the CCU is presented either due to actual antibiotic failure or seeming but unrelated non-antibiotic failureSection focuses on the practical aspects of antimicrobial stewardship particularly as related to optimizing dosing effectiveness while minimizing resistance and adverse effects in the CCU

Omega-3 Fatty Acids and the DHA Principle

Omega-3 Fatty Acids and the DHA Principle

The physical-chemical properties of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) enable it to facilitate rapid biochemical processes in the membrane. This effect has numerous benefits including those involved in the growth of bacteria rapid energy generation human vision brain impulse and photosynthesis to name a few. Yet DHA also carries risks that can lead to cellular death and disease. Omega-3 Fatty Acids and the DHA Principle explores the roles of omega-3 fatty acids in cellular membranes ranging from human neurons and swimming sperm to deep sea bacteria and develops a principle by which to assess their benefits and risks. The DHA Principle states that the blending of lipids to form cellular membranes is evolutionarily-honed to maximize benefit while minimizing risk and that a complex blending code involving conformational dynamics energy stress energy yield and chemical stability underlies all cellular membranes. This book lays the groundwork to understanding this code. It examines the evolution of DHA and the membrane and explores the general properties of omega-3s and other membrane lipids. It then focuses on cellular biology before shifting to a practical discussion on applications. The authors discuss the DHA Principle as applied to petroleum degradation winemaking global warming molecular farming aging neurodegenerative diseases and the prevention of colon cancer. Reflecting the increased public interest that has emerged over the years this volume uses an integrative approach to explain the complex roles of omega-3s in the membrane. Incorporating principles from chemistry cellular biology evolution and ecology this work gives researchers in a variety of fields the building blocks to stimulate further study.
