 Flow Cytometry of Hematological Malignancies By Claudio Ortolani(auth.) 2011 | 318 Pages | ISBN: 144433588X | PDF | 8 MB Flow Cytometry of Hematological Malignancies contains an array of graphical outputs produced by the technique in the study of the most (and the least) common diseases. The images included allow you to compare your own results with a third party reference pattern. There is a detailed description of the main leukocyte antigens, together with a description of their distribution amongst normal and abnormal blood cells. The book also provides a comprehensive description of the phenotype of every neoplastic blood disease recorded in the WHO classification system, including all the instructions needed to recognise and classify even the least common entity. Designed to be practical, the book is perfect for quick consultation and is divided into two main sections. Section I deals with the direct object of immunophenotyping, and Section II deals with the ultimate target of the analysis. More than 50 antigens are covered and every antigen is dealt with in three main parts: general features, cytometric features and practical hints. This authoritative and state-of-the-art reference will be invaluable for clinicians directly involved in the diagnosis and analysis of hematological diseases, including hematologists, hematopathologists, oncologists, pathologists and technicians working in diagnostic laboratories.Content: Chapter 1 Antigens (pages 1-157): Chapter 2 Diseases (pages 160-300):  Flexible Power Transmission: The HVDC Options By J.

Fire Safe Use of Wood in Buildings: Global Design Guide English | 2022 | ISBN: 1032040394 | 487 Pages | PDF (True) | 82 MB This book provides guidance on the design of timber buildings for fire safety, developed within the global network Fire Safe Use of Wood (FSUW) and with reference to Eurocode 5 and other international codes. It introduces the behaviour of fires in timber buildings and describes strategies for providing safety if unwanted fires occur. It provides guidance on building design to prevent any fires from spreading while maintaining the load-bearing capacity of structural timber elements, connections and compartmentation. Also included is information on the reaction-to-fire of wood products according to different classification systems, as well as active measures of fire protection, and quality of workmanship and inspection as means of fulfilling fire safety objectives.  Fire Design of Steel Structures: Eurocode 1: Actions on structures Part 1-2 - General actions - Actions on structures exposed to fire Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures Part 1-2 - General rules - Structural fire design By Jean?Marc Franssen, Paulo Vila Real(auth.) 2010 | 447 Pages | ISBN: 3433029741 | PDF | 8 MB This book explains and illustrates the rules that are given in the Eurocode for designing steel structures subjected to fire. After the first introductory chapter, Chapter 2 explains how to calculate the mechanical actions (loads) in the fire situation based on the information given in EN 1990 and EN 1991. Chapter 3 presents the models to be used to represent the thermal action created by the fire. Chapter 4 describes the procedures to be used to calculate the temperature of the steelwork from the temperature of the compartment and Chapter 5 shows how the information given in EN 1993-1-2 is used to determine the loan bearing capacity of the steel structure. The methods use to evaluate the fire resistance of bolted and welded connections are described in Chapter 7. Chapter 8 describes a computer program called "Elefir-EN" which is based on the simple calculation model given in the Eurocode and allows designers to quickly and accurately calculate the performance of steel components in the fire situation. Chapter 9 looks at the issues that a designer may be faced with when assessing the fire resistance of a complete building. This is done via a case study and addresses most of the concepts presented in the earlier Chapters. The concepts and fire engineering procedures given in the Eurocodes may see complex those more familiar with the prescriptive approach. This publication sets out the design process in a logical manner giving practical and helpful advice and easy to follow worked examples that will allow designer to exploit the benefits of this new approach to fire design.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1-5): Chapter 2 Mechanical Loading (pages 7-16): Chapter 3 Thermal Action (pages 17-44): Chapter 4 Temperature in Steel Sections (pages 45-98): Chapter 5 Mechanical Analysis (pages 99-233): Chapter 6 Advanced Calculation Models (pages 235-250): Chapter 7 Joints (pages 251-266): Chapter 8 The Computer Program "Elefir?EN" (pages 267-292): Chapter 9 Case Study (pages 293-310):  Fine Chemicals through Heterogeneous Catalysis By Prof. Dr. Roger Arthur Sheldon, Prof. Dr. Herman van Bekkum(auth.) 2001 | 628 Pages | ISBN: 3527299513 | PDF | 18 MB Nowadays, the chemical industry is under increased pressure to develop cleaner production processes and technologies.
