Encyclopedia of Diagnostic Imaging The simple A to Z format provides easy access to relevant information in the fi eld of imaging Extensive cross references between keywords and related articles enable effi cient searches in a user-friendly manner Fully searchable and hyperlinked electronic online edition The aim of this comprehensive encyclopedia is to provide detailed information on diagnostic radi- ology contributing to the broad fi eld of imaging. The wide range of entries in the Encyclopedia of Imaging are written by leading experts. They will provide basic and clinical scientists in academia, practice as well as industry with valuable information about the fi eld of diagnostic imaging, but also people in related fi elds, students, teachers, and interested laypeople will benefi t from the important and relevant information on the most recent developments of imaging. The Encyclo- pedia of Diagnostic Imaging will contain 4.000 to 6.000 entries in two volumes, supplemented by a CD and published simultaneously as a regularly updated online web database. The entire fi eld has been divided into 20 sections consisting of approximately 50 fully structured essays and 500 short defi nitions (keywords) each. All entries will be arranged in alphabetical order with extensive cross- referencing between them.

Encyclopedia of Diagnostic Imaging The simple A to Z format provides easy access to relevant information in the fi eld of imaging Extensive cross references between keywords and related articles enable effi cient searches in a user-friendly manner Fully searchable and hyperlinked electronic online edition The aim of this comprehensive encyclopedia is to provide detailed information on diagnostic radi- ology contributing to the broad fi eld of imaging. The wide range of entries in the Encyclopedia of Imaging are written by leading experts. They will provide basic and clinical scientists in academia, practice as well as industry with valuable information about the fi eld of diagnostic imaging, but also people in related fi elds, students, teachers, and interested laypeople will benefi t from the important and relevant information on the most recent developments of imaging. The Encyclo- pedia of Diagnostic Imaging will contain 4.000 to 6.000 entries in two volumes, supplemented by a CD and published simultaneously as a regularly updated online web database. The entire fi eld has been divided into 20 sections consisting of approximately 50 fully structured essays and 500 short defi nitions (keywords) each. All entries will be arranged in alphabetical order with extensive cross- referencing between them.

C. Walker , The Royal Free and University College Medical School, London, UK Depression and Globalization The politics of mental health in the 21st century
Depression and Globalisation is an important academic text on the political aspects of depres- sion, specifi cally the relationship between globali- sation and depression. In this text Dr. Walker reestablishes the link between mental health research and treatment, along with the political and economical infl uences outside the world of academic and clinical mental health. Overall, this book will accomplish the task of how closely and inextricably linked these diverse fi elds are and the way they operate together to produce not only a cultural representation of mental illness but infl u- ence the extent and type of mental distress in the 21st century.
Features 7 Only book dedicated to the political aspects of depression, specifi cally the relationship between globalization and depression 7 Relevant text for those with preliminary knowledge of some of the more detailed and complex psychological, political and economic issues, which is explained so the reader does not feel excluded by the presentation

A detailed, yet accessible introduction to quantum decoherence!
Decoherence and the Quantum-To-Classical Transition Maximilian A. Schlosshauer, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA Unique in its wide range of the covered material, this book emphasizes foundational implications without neglecting detailed descriptions of experiments and applications This detailed but accessible text introduces the concepts of decoherence and explains how this phenomenon is responsible for the emergence, from the realm of quantum mechanics, of the classical world of our experience. It elucidates, among other things: How decoherence is ubiquitious in nature and virtually inescapable; How recent experiments have confi rmed the puzzling consequences of the quantum superposition principle and have made the gradual disappearance of „Schrödinger kittens“ directly observable; How decoherence may be tamed to realize a quantum computer; How decoherence impacts the various interpretations of quantum mechanics, and how it may provide solutions to long-standing foundational problems of the quantum theory; How processes in our brain are aff ected by decoherence, and what this means for our status as an observer in a quantum world. Included are also detailed discussions of master equations and decoherence models. Accessible to all readers with a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics, this stimulating book will be an indispens- able resource for newcomers and experts alike.
Reads like a bestseller. An engaging and intuitive treatment of a very important subject, combining the scope of a monograph with the clarity of a textbook and the intellectual excitement of a Sherlock Holmes adventure Wojciech Zurek, Los Alamos

Leading researchers, including Nobel laureates, describe the state-of-the-art in conventional and unconventional superconductors at a particularly opportune time, as new experimental techniques and fi eld-theoretical methods have NEW emerged. In addition to full-coverage of novel materials and underlying mechanisms, the handbook refl ects continued intense research into electron-phone based superconductivity. T Considerable attention is devoted to high- c superconductivity, novel superconductivity, including triplet pairing in the ruthenates, novel superconductors, such as heavy-Fermion metals and organic materials, and also granular superconductors. What’s more, several contributions address superconductors with impurities and nanostructured superconductors. Important new results on current problems are presented in a manner designed to stimulate further research. Numerous illustrations, diagrams and tables make this book especially useful as a reference work for researchers, students and teachers. Treating the entire superconductivity fi eld, this unparalleled reference resource carefully blends theoretical studies with experimental results to Prepublication provide the scientist and engineers an indispensable source for further research.

CAAD Futures is a biennial conference that aims to promote the advancement of computer-aided architectural design research and teaching. Th e conferences are organised under the auspices of the CAAD Futures Foundation. Th e conference series started in 1985 in Delft and has since trav- eled to major cities in Europe, Asia, and USA. Th is volume is the Proceedings of the 12th Inter- national Conference of CAAD Futures, which took place in Sydney, Australia. Th e internation- ally refereed papers in this book present the state of the art in computer-aided architectural design research. Th e papers in this year᾽s conference theme, Integrating Technologies for Computer- Aided Design, provide the technological foundation for new ways of thinking about using computers in designing and the use of computers in design itself as well as in the education of designers. Information about the 2007 Conference and this book is available at: http://www.arch.usyd.edu. au/kcdc/conferences/cf07.
