 The New Orleans Hurricane Protection System: Assessing Pre-Katrina Vulnerability and Improving Mitigation and Preparedness By Committee on New Orleans Regional Hurricane Protection Projects, National Research Council 2009 | 58 Pages | ISBN: 0309138337 | PDF | 1 MB Hurricane Katrina, which struck New Orleans and surrounding areas in August 2005, ranks as one of the nation's most devastating natural disasters. Shortly after the storm, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers established a task force to assess the performance of the levees, floodwalls, and other structures comprising the area's hurricane protection system during Hurricane Katrina. This book provides an independent review of the task force's final draft report and identifies key lessons from the Katrina experience and their implications for future hurricane preparedness and planning in the region.

The New Face of Evaluation and Management by Kellie Hall English | June 29, 2025 | ISBN: 1032800615 | 248 pages | MOBI | 0.85 Mb Physicians want to care for patients, not spend their time documenting in an electronic medical record. Physicians are always complaining about the amount of time they spend documenting patient care in support of medical billing through an evaluation and management coding system (E/M). New guidelines were created to lessen the time a physician/provider spends on documentation as many of the mandatory elements are no longer a requirement for calculating a code level. Previously an E/M (evaluation and management) note required documentation of history, exam, and medical decision-making with required elements in each component to support a level for payment. If an element was missing, the level of service was not supported; therefore, the code was lowered, resulting in a lower reimbursement for the physician/provider. The new guidelines eliminated the requirement of History and Exam as part of the calculation of a code level. Yes, an appropriate history and exam are required, this supports good patient care, but when it comes to reimbursement, they are no longer part of the picture.  The New Brazil: From Backwater to BRIC By Riordan Roett 2010 | 178 Pages | ISBN: 0815704232 | PDF | 3 MB The New Brazil tells the story of that nation's evolution from a remote Portuguese colony into a regional leader, a respected spokesman for the developing world, and an increasingly important partner for the United States and the European Union. For much of the twentieth century, Brazil seemed mired in perpetual economic crisis. Today prudent fiscal and monetary policies have yielded high levels of foreign direct investment and an investment-grade rating for its debt. Brazil is also emerging as an energy powerhouse, and policymakers are increasingly confronting the challenge of reducing poverty among tens of millions of people. In this engaging book, Riordan Roett traces the long road Brazil has traveled to reach its present status and discusses the many challenges it has overcome and those that lie ahead. Roett, a veteran scholar and writer on Brazil, discusses the country's development as a colony, empire, and finally a republic; the making of modern Brazil, beginning with the rise to power of Getulio Vargas in 1930; the advent of military government in 1964; the return to civilian rule two decades later; and the pivotal presidencies of Fernando Henrique Cardoso and Luis Inacio Lula da Silva. As Brazil prepares to elect a new president in October 2010, much remains to be done to consolidate and expand the country's global role. Nonetheless, as an important player on the world stage, Brazil is here to stay.  Rabindra N. Mohapatra, "The Neutrino Story: One Tiny Particle's Grand Role in the Cosmos" English | ISBN: 3030518450 | 2020 | 238 pages | MOBI | 6 MB Every second of every day, we are exposed to billions of neutrinos emitted by the Sun, and yet they seem to pass straight through us with no apparent effect at all. Tiny and weakly interacting this subatomic particle may be, but this book will show you just how crucial a role it has played in the evolution of the elements in the universe, and eventually, ourselves.  The Neurocognition of Language By Colin M. Brown, Peter Hagoort 2001 | 428 Pages | ISBN: 0198507933 | PDF | 15 MB The Neurocognition of Language is the first critical overview of the cognitive neuroscience of language, one of the fastest-moving and most exciting areas in language research today. And it is a necessity for anyone requiring a summary of our current understanding of the relation between language and the brain. It brings together human language experts who discuss the representations and structures of language as well as the cognitive architectures that underlie speaking, listening, and reading. In addition to valuable reviews of existing brain imaging literature on word and sentence processing and contributions from brain lesion data, this book provides a basis for future brain imaging research. It even explains the prospects and problems of brain imaging techniques for the study of language, presents some of the most recent and promising analytic procedures for relating brain imaging data to the higher cognitive functions, and contains a review of the neuroanatomical structure of Broca's language area. Uniquely interdisciplinary, this book offers researchers and students in cognitive neuroscience with state-of-the-art reviews of the major language functions, while being of equal interest to researchers in linguistics and language who want to learn about language's neural bases.
