Radiation detection is key to experimental nuclear physics as well as underpinning a wide range of applications in nuclear decommissioning, homeland security and medical imaging. This book presents the state-of-the-art in radiation detection of light and heavy ions, beta particles, gamma rays and neutrons. The underpinning physics of different detector technologies is presented, and their perfo…
This book introduces nuclear data to the newcomer and provides a basic introduction to the role of nuclear data as the foundation of nuclear structure study. The material presented assumes no prior knowledge of the content or language used in communicating details of nuclear data. The approach builds on basic concepts: from gross properties of nuclei, through properties of quantum excited state…
How to Build a Digital Library is the only book that offers all the knowledge and tools needed to construct and maintain a digital library, regardless of the size or purpose. It is the perfectly self-contained resource for individuals, agencies, and institutions wishing to put this powerful tool to work in their burgeoning information treasuries. (Jml)
This 86th Edition of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics has undergone a face lift. For the first time in over 40 years, the page size has been changed; the larger trim size will provide flexibility in adding new material. The layout and type face have also been modernized, leading to more easily readable text and tables. The new typography system will also facilitate the annual updating …
Since the end of the Cold War, the nuclear threats facing the world are dramatically evolving and have become even much more complex. However, the events of the past years have proved the necessity to reevaluate these threats on a level never before considered. The need to prevent, detect and respond to Nuclear/Radiological threats leads to many requirements that are not met by current scientif…
Modern Nuclear Chemistry provides up-to-date coverage of the latest research as well as examinations of the theoretical and practical aspects of nuclear and radiochemistry. Includes worked examples and solved problems. Provides comprehensive information as a practical reference. Presents fundamental physical principles, in brief, of nuclear and radiochemistry. The first succinct coverag…
This book is based on clinical cases, and is designed to hone the reader's skills in the use and interpretation of radiographs. Easily missed disorders and diagnostic dilemmas are emphasized. Although not exhaustive, the book encompasses many of the major areas in which radiography is helpful in achieving a diagnosis. By limiting the range of topics, these areas can be discussed in greater dept…
The D200 offers serious amateur photographers and value-minded professionals a sub-$2000 dSLR alternative with much of the specifications, features, and build quality of Nikon's high-end pro cameras (like the freshened D2Hs and top-of-the-line DX) in an aggressively-priced compact body. (jml)
The sixth edition of Industrial Safety and Health Management continues the tradition of earlier editions in providing common sense rationales for safety and health standards and work practices along with new developments in the field. This edition also has more case studies, examples, exercises, and illustrations to add realism to the learning process. (Jml)
