Most people with far-advanced illness wish to be cared for at home for as long as possible. The challenge of providing good palliative care at home is therefore of major importance for family doctors, nurses and all those committed to maintaining the highest possible quality of life for the dying person. As modern specialist palliative care has raised both standards of care and also public expectations of family doctors and community nurses, this book helps to place specialist care in context. As palliative care is a major responsibility for teams providing palliative care at home, this book provides a definitive guide on how to provide effective care for people with far-advanced disease. Written by two palliative medicine specialists, both of whom have been family doctors, this book deals with all the physical, emotional, spiritual and social problems likely to be encountered by family doctors and community nurses caring for a patient and relatives at home. It deals in detail with emergencies, communications, ethical issues and emphasises throughout the importance of team work.'It provides a wealth of information and advice on all aspects of palliative care at home'.

Advances in Structural Health Monitoring of Space Systems Andrei N. Zagrai, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, USA Derek T. Doyle, Air Force Research Laboratory/Space Vehicles Directorate, USA Brandon J. Arritt, Air Force Research Laboratory/Space Vehicles Directorate, USA The application of SHM technologies to space systems and implications to the space community Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a valuable tool for in-service assessment of structural condition. This book, for the first time, explores specifics of SHM applied to space craft in particular. The volume presents technical advances in SHM of space systems from the viewpoints of academia, industry and government agencies and explores some of the major test setups that have been developed and the unique requirements not currently directed at the terrestrial developers. It is suggested that SHM may be considered for aiding in the rapid assembly of spacecraft components, monitoring system conditions during launch, in-orbit operations and re-entry, and could be a major contributor to spacecraft certification for the next launch.This book presents a discussion of factors affecting realization of the SHM system for spacecraft, provides examples of different SHM technologies utilized for assessment of space systems, and gives recommendations for current and future SHM applications. Key features: Various SHM technologies for space structures. Industry, government, and academic vision of spacecraft SHM. Examples of structural diagnostics of space systems. Results of SHM in stratospheric and sub-orbital spaceflight environments. This advanced text provides coverage of technical advances in SHM for graduate students and professionals in the space industry.
