 Hypospadiology: Principles and Practices English | 2022 | ISBN: 9811683948 | 459 Pages | PDF | 45 MB This book incorporates all aspects of hypospadias management, such as step-by-step correction of chordee and modifications in tabularized urethral plate repair, which is the commonest technique used in hypospadias repair, single-stage two-stage repairs of hypospadias with illustrated descriptions. It provides essential information like history, embryology, anatomy, Radiology in hypospadias, and classification of hypospadias. For the first time, this title presents separate chapters about female hypospadias, correction of torsion associated with hypospadias, and chordee without hypospadias. These chapters will improve the understanding of the subject for the reader and help them in modifying their surgical technique for these patients. Hypospadias surgery has a long learning curve, and the book will help the practitioners make them shorter. The book also deals with acute and chronic complications of surgery which will help the reader prevent complications and manage them. This is a complete book covering all aspects of the evaluation & management of hypospadias and their variants. It includes chapters on a healthy interposition and appropriate use of spongiosum and the techniques of spongioplasty, modifications in flap tube repair, along with the various types of prepuce and prepucioplasty. In conclusion, the book will provide a comprehensive read for all trainees/fellows and practitioners of Urology, Pediatric urology, Pediatric Surgery, and Plastic Surgery.  Bo Wang, "Hybrid Metal-Organic Framework and Covalent Organic Framework Polymers " English | ISBN: 1839161531 | 2021 | 406 pages | PDF | 23 MB Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous materials constructed from metal ions/clusters and organic linkers, combining the merits of both organic and inorganic components. Due to high porosity, rich functionalities, well-defined open channels and diverse structures, MOFs show great potentials in field such as gas storage and separation, catalysis, and sensing. Combining them with polymers tunes their chemical, mechanical, electrical and optical properties, and endows MOFs with processability. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are crystalline porous materials built from organic molecular units with diverse structures and applications. Hybrid materials with intriguing properties can be achieved by appropriate preparation methods and careful selection of MOFs/COFs and polymers, broadening their potential applications. This book documents the latest research progress in MOF/COF-polymer hybrid materials and reviews and summarises hybridization strategies to achieve MOF/COF polymeric composites. It also introduces various applications and potential applicable scenarios of hybrid MOF/COF polymers. Hybrid Metal-Organic Framework and Covalent Organic Framework Polymers offers an overview to readers who are new to this field, and will appeal to graduate students and researchers working on porous materials, polymers, hybrid materials, and supramolecular chemistry.  Nathan I. Sasser, "Hume and the Demands of Philosophy: Science, Skepticism, and Moderation" English | ISBN: 179362321X | 2022 | 228 pages | PDF | 3 MB Hume and the Demands of Philosophy: Science, Skepticism, and Moderation offers a comprehensive interpretation of the relationship between Hume's scientific project and his skepticism. Nathan I. Sasser argues that Hume is a radical epistemic skeptic who has purely practical reasons for retaining the beliefs that are essential for ordinary life and scientific research. On Sasser's reading, the key to Hume's epistemology is his conception of philosophy as a normative method of inquiry governing the special sciences. Philosophy approves of the mental faculties that produce reasoning and sensory beliefs. But sensory beliefs and the products of reason themselves face insuperable rational defeater arguments, and because they do, philosophy demands that we suspend these beliefs. Hume's solution to this skeptical dilemma is to point out the fatal practical consequences of doing so. He advises us not to submit to the demands of philosophy when doing so is neither agreeable nor useful to ourselves or others. Hume's moderate approach to philosophy recognizes that if the human mind is not created by a beneficent deity, then we must learn to live with the divergence between the epistemic demands of philosophy and the practical demands of life.  Mary L. Schuster, "Homeless Voices: Stigma, Space, and Social Media" English | ISBN: 1793635706 | 2022 | 266 pages | PDF | 1375 KB Homeless Voices: Stigma, Space, and Social Media argues that the best sources for how to address issues of homelessness are people experiencing homelessness themselves, particularly as they express their experiences through personal blogs and memoirs. Mary L. Schuster discusses how space and land have been historically denied to marginalized communities who still feel the effects to this day, along with examining the conditions and limitations of common spaces often assigned to those experiencing homelessness, culminating in an analysis of how the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has impacted homelessness. Schuster focuses on two vulnerable groups that often experience homelessness: victims of domestic violence and unaccompanied youth, particularly those who struggle with gender identity and unstable housing. This book includes a variety of case studies, examining public meetings and court decisions, public policy symposiums, and personal interviews, and ultimately finds that intersectionality-specifically age, race, gender identity, and ethnicity-plays a large part in understanding and experiencing homelessness. By shifting our attention to the diverse voices who experience homelessness themselves, Schuster claims, we can finally begin to remedy this crisis. Scholars of media studies, sociology, and urban development will find this book particularly useful.
