ABG's made Easy for some..........2005-07-27

The content of the book is wonderful. It took me awhile to get the concept but when I did, it was easy sailing from there! The pocket card that came with the book has been invaluable. It's easy to take with you on the floor and when evaluating a patient's lab work.

An abundance of exercises help solidify knowledge.......2003-07-05

I received my book very promptly in like new condition. I seriously doubt if anyone had ever even thumbed through it prior to my receiving it. The book is very concise, yet thorough, with an added bonus of a strong plastic reference card that can be carried in your pocket. I especially was pleased with the pages of exercises that will help solidify the knowledge. I have not yet completed the book, but already it has helped to increase my knowledge of blood gas analysis. Mary Bain, R.N.

Most Valuable.......1998-09-28

Well written, succinct text in a portable format. No fluff. The book enhanced my confidence in ABG interpretation tremendously. I look forward to more clinical guides from Dr. Anup.

Modern Practice of GC.......2007-09-21

This book is an excelent reference source for all aspects of modern GC analysis. It covers topics in great depth but is still easy to read for less expirienced chromatographers. The important parameters are covered in depth (column, optimization, inlet systems) providing enough information to solve most problems. The end of the book has several chapters on application specific techniques such as pharmaceutical or petrochemical analysis. You will probably learn more from this book then you would taking a short course on the subject, and the cost is much less.

Fantastic Resource.......2006-07-22

I work in an analytical lab and usually borrow my texts from the Univ. of WA library in Tacoma rather than have my corporation buy them. This text is easy to read and comprehensive. I showed it to our senior scientist asking if our company should buy this text instead of borrowing it. He looked through it and said yes, that it's always good to have good references.

Great reference book.......2001-04-15

One of the most useful reference book in gas chromatography. The book is written in a fashion that is easy to understand by novice and experienced chromatographers. Wonderful details about mechanism of separations, valuable information on flash vapourization process, and the utilities of the various detectors. All in all, a must have book for those who seriously like to be good in gas chromatography

Excellent in-depth source for chromatographers.......1997-07-31

This book is comprehensive and comprehensible. The information presented is quite current. An excellent job was done updating for the latest edition. The references listed appear thorough, allowing for further investigation of a particular subject of interest. Good balance of theoretical explanation, and also inclusion of commercially available technology. Highly recommended

Risk Modeling, Assessment, and Management (Wiley Series in Systems Engineering and Management)

ASIN: 0792358600

Book Description

Offshore Risk Assessment is the first book to deal with quantified risk assessment (QRA) as applied specifically to offshore installations and operations. Risk assessment techniques have been used for some years in the offshore oil and gas industry, and their use is set to expand increasingly as the industry moves into new areas and faces new challenges in older regions.
The book starts with a thorough discussion of risk analysis methodology. Subsequent chapters are devoted to analytical approaches to escalation, escape, evacuation and rescue analysis of safety and emergency systems. Separate chapters analyze the main hazards of offshore structures: Fire, explosion, collision and falling objects. Risk mitigation and control are then discussed, followed by an outline of an alternative approach to risk modelling that focuses especially on the risk of short-duration activities.
Not only does the book describe the state of the art of QRA, it also identifies weaknesses and areas that need development.
Readership: Besides being a comprehensive reference for academics and students of marine/offshore risk assessment and management, the book should also be owned by professionals in the industry, contractors, suppliers, consultants and regulatory authorities.

Very helpful discussion of an important medical topic.......2004-07-17

If you could only read one book on blood gasses this would have to be the one.

This book covers the nitty-gritty about Arterial blood gasses (ABG). As a PhD who performs biomedical research, I have come across "experts" who resort to physiological babble because they dont know what arterial saturation is really all about. You will if you read this book.

The book centers around four classic expresssions: (1) partial pressure of co2, (2) pH (3) alveolar gas equation, and (4) o2 content. From these four expressions, and a little knowledge of clinical medicine, you will understand just about everything you need to know about ABG. Dont let the equations scare you off; you know them already.

The book is simple to read, and has example problems. The real-world examples/problems really help in applying the knowledge, which I found to be quite useful. The author does not go into deep biochemical details. But if you need a good solid introduction to blood chemistry, or have to review how to read an ABG report this is a great book.

Good for medical professionals but not for students.......2003-03-31

I am an RT instructor and I chose this book as a text book for my arterial blood gas analysis class. the students found it very difficult to understand and some of the formulas have been abreviated to the point that a novice will have trouble understanding them. This is a very good review for anyone who already has a general understanding of acid base, blood gas and electrolyte interpretation and can clear up some misconceptions, however, this book is not adequate for someone just learning the basics. My students were very unhappy and I wound up not using the text nearly as much as I had planned.

Essential for the ICU.......2000-04-23

I was given this book when I rotated through the ICU as a 3rd year medical student. I had gone through other training classes that attempted to teach me how to read a blood gas but I never could get it down right. THEN, I read this one...it put things into the proper perspective and taught me what I needed to know when I was reading a blood gas. I highly recommend it!

Book Description

Charles Mader, a leading scientist who conducted theoretical research at Los Alamos National Laboratory for more than 30 years, sets a new standard with this reference on numerical modeling of explosives and propellants. This book updates and expands the information presented in the author's landmark work, Numerical Modeling of Detonations, published in 1979 and still in use today. Numerical Modeling of Explosives and Propellants incorporates the considerable changes the personal computer has brought to numerical modeling since the first book was published, and includes new three-dimensional modeling techniques and new information on propellant performance and vulnerability. Both an introduction to the physics and chemistry of explosives and propellants and a guide to numerical modeling of detonation and reactive fluid dynamics, Numerical Modeling of Explosives and Propellants offers scientists and engineers a complete picture of the current state of explosive and propellant technology and numerical modeling. The book is richly illustrated with figures that support the concepts, and filled with tables for quick access to precise data. The accompanying CD-ROM contains computer codes that are the national standard by which modeling is evaluated. Dynamic material properties data files and animation files are also included. There is no other book available today that offers this vital information.

Technically Challenging.......2002-08-06

This book is not for the faint of heart.
It is a highly technical book and written only for those
with experience in this field.
The book does not start out with basic definitions
and is written for individuals who have professional
credentials in this particular industry.
Personally I look for a technical book to begin with
basic theory and then build from there with orderly
procedures and fully worked mathematical examples.
The author is a good communicator, however if you
are looking for basics in this field, it's a little
steep to try to start from this material.
If your a professional already working with
explosives in a research facility you will find this
book to be an excellent treatise.If like myself you
only have a passing interest and are looking for
general content, then this is not for you.
I was looking for information regarding pressure
relief for dust explosions inside production
vessels and purchased this book by mistake.

No examples included.......2002-08-06

The book does not give any worked examples.

The mark of any good technical writer is
showing your work in detail, this book
leaves a lot to be desired.

I am trying to return the book to
amazon.

The Ultimate Text Regarding Explosives.......2000-04-20

This book truly is the ultimate text for anyone who is interested in the workings and chemistry of everyday explosive devices. Although it is recommended that the reader have a high ranking background in this type of field, I must say that as a 15 year old rocket science enthusiast I found that comprehending the material provided by this text was a relatively easy task. I believe that if the reader has a strong interest in this type of field and/or in chemistry in general and has little difficulty understanding general chem concepts, that this book is probably for you.

However, I must confess that certain pieces of the work presented in this book are a little harder to understand than other sections. Such as the section that deals with fluid dynamics which I personely had a little more difficulty understanding. But, do not be intimidated for this is quite expected of the reader, any reader, even a scientist. One has to realise that this is a complicated field of interest, nevertheless, anybody who is dedicated to learning the science can understand it.

To me, this book was of great practicality when conducting my own reasearch and development of slightly modernized model rocket engines. It also played a big role in my science fair project when I used some of the general concepts in the book to provide explanations of how my modernized engine designs were more efficient than conventional mass manufactured engines.

Book Description

The content spans from simple thermodynamics of the combustion engine to complex models for the description of the air/fuel mixture, ignition, combustion and pollutant formation considering the engine periphery of petrol and diesel engines. Thus the emphasis of the book is on the simulation models and how they are applicable for the development of modern combustion engines. Computers can be used as the engineers testbench following the rules and recommendations described here.
