 Understanding Doctors' Performance English | 2023 | ISBN: 1857757661 | 183 Pages | PDF (True) | 5 MB Understanding Doctors' Performance addresses possible reasons why doctors under-perform, covering specific areas such as education and training, physical and mental health, workload, personality, organisational culture, drug and alcohol misuse, and cognitive impairment. It draws together evidence and describes the factors (apart from clinical competence) that adversely affect performance and how they can be prevented, identified, assessed and addressed. This practical and easy to read book is invaluable for NHS managers, medical directors, chief executives and board members, along with directors of human resources in healthcare and healthcare professionals interested in the assessment of performance or the management of underperformance.  Ultrasound Mid-Air Haptics for Touchless Interfaces by Orestis Georgiou, William Frier, Euan Freeman, Claudio Pacchierotti, Takayuki Hoshi English | EPUB(True) | 2022 | 411 Pages | ISBN : 3031040422 | 100.8 MB Over the last decade, ultrasound mid-air haptic technology has emerged and rapidly advanced to engage multidisciplinary scientific communities within and adjacent to the haptics and HCI fields. Additionally, this haptic technology has been adopted by a number of industry sectors (e.g., automotive, virtual reality, digital signage, neuroscience research) who appear keen to exploit its unique value proposition: the ability to deliver rich haptic sensations from a distance, without the need to touch, wear or hold anything in order to enhance touchless interfaces, novel applications, and experiences.  Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence: 11th International Conference, UCAmI 2017, Philadelphia, PA, USA, November 7-10, 2017, Proceedings By Sergio F.

Jafar Mehdi Hassan, "Turbulent Flow and Boundary Layer Theory: Selected Topics and Solved Problems" English | ISBN: 1681088134 | 2021 | 302 pages | PDF | 10 MB Turbulent Flow and Boundary Layer Theory: Selected Topics and Solved Problems explains fundamental concepts of turbulent flow with boundary layer analysis. A general introduction to turbulent flow familiarizes the reader with the mechanics of turbulence in fluid flow in both nature and engineering applications. The book also explains related concepts including transient flow, methods for controlling transients, turbulent models and dynamic equations for unsteady flow through closed conduits. The contents of the book are designed to help both students and teachers in carrying out turbulent flow analysis and solving problems in engineering and hydraulic applications. Key Features - all the basic concepts in turbulent flow are clearly identified and presented in a simple manner with illustrative and practical examples. - includes a self-contained approach to the subject, indicating prerequisite materials and information needed from courses. - each chapter also has a set of questions and problems to test the student's power of comprehending the topics. - provides an exhaustive appendix on interesting examples Turbulent Flow and Boundary Layer Theory: Selected Topics and Solved Problems a useful textbook for students of engineering. It also serves as a quick reference for professionals, researchers and project consultants involved with processes that require turbulent flow and boundary layer methods analysis.  Francis Blessington, "Trojan Women, Helen, Hecuba: Three Plays about Women and the Trojan War" English | 2015 | ISBN: 0299305244 | EPUB | pages: 280 | 0.6 mb These three ancient tragedies―Trojan Women, Helen, and Hecuba―dramatize the tragic fates of women in the wake of war.

Transparent Designs : Personal Computing and the Politics of User-Friendliness by Michael L. Black English | 2022 | ISBN: 1421443538 | 280 Pages | True ePUB | 2.62 MB  Transnational Islam and the Integration of Turks in Great Britain By Erdem Dikici 2021 | 292 Pages | ISBN: 3030740056 | EPUB | 1 MB This book brings a transnational perspective to the study of immigrant integration in contemporary Western European societies, with a specific focus on transnational Turkish Islam and Turkish integration in Great Britain.It raises significant questions regarding national citizenship models, and offers original insights into the ways in which they can be extended and renewed to cover the cross-border reality.At the theoretical level, Dikici argues that the idea of multiculturalism can be extended to cover immigrant transnationalism without jeopardising its core principles such as equality and recognition of difference, and promises such as a shared national identity and unity in diversity. At the empirical level, the book illustrates that not all transnational Muslim organisations are the same (i.e. militant), and nor do they all hinder Muslim integration, rather they are diverse, with some deliberately contributing to the integration of Muslims into non-Muslim majority societies.The work will be of interest toscholars and students of contemporary integration and citizenship studies, multiculturalism studies, Muslim integration in Western societies, transnationalism and transnational Islam, Civil Society and Diaspora Studies.  Simon Mackenzie, "Transnational Criminology: Trafficking and Global Criminal Markets " English | ISBN: 1529203805 | 2022 | 210 pages | PDF | 584 KB This pioneering study looks across key trafficking crimes to develop a social theory of transnational criminal markets. These include human trafficking, drug dealing, and black markets in wildlife, diamonds, guns and antiquities, The author offers an in-depth analysis of structural similarities and differences within illicit trade networks, and explores the economic underpinnings which drive global trafficking. Revealing how traffickers think of their illegal enterprises as 'just business', he draws broader lessons for the ways forward in understanding criminality in this emerging field.  Transmedia/Genre: Rethinking Genre in a Multiplatform Culture English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031155823 | 147 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 2 MB This book brings genre back to the forefront of the current transmedia trend. Genres are perhaps the most innately transmedial of media constructs, formed as they are from all kinds of industrial, technological and discursive phenomena. Yet, few have considered how genre works in a multiplatform context. This book does precisely that, making a uniquely transmedial contribution to the study of genre in the age of media convergence. The book interrogates how industrial, technological and participatory transformations of digital platforms and emerging technologies reshape workings of genre. The authors consider franchises such as Star Wars, streaming platforms such as Netflix, catch-up services such as ITV Hub, creative technologies such as virtual reality, and beyond. In setting the stage for the revival of genre theory in contemporary transmedia scholarship, this book pushes forward understandings of multiplatform media and the emerging form and function of genre across contemporary culture. |
