Differential Diagnosis in Ultrasound Imaging, Second Edition, is a complete revision and extension of this best-selling Thieme title, bringing it up to date with the very latest clinical and technological standards. With a specific focus on general abdominal, genitourinary, and thyroid pathologies, it guides readers systematically through the process of sonographic differential diagnosis. The inclusion of images with variant courses and atypical sonographs ensures comprehensive coverage of this highly efficient diagnostic tool.

Key features of the second edition:

This new edition will be an essential reference for all residents and physicians using ultrasound on a day-to-day basis for diagnostic purposes, including practicing radiologists, internists, and ultrasound technicians.

A handy, portable guide to managing problems in the everyday setting

This compact book provides radiologists, ultrasonographers, residents, and trainees with a handy, portable guide to managing problems in the everyday setting. The first section of the book provides a thorough review of basic physical and technical principles and examination techniques. In the second section of the book, the author helps the clinician answer such questions as:

The book describes systematic approaches to the ultrasound examination of specific organs and organ systems, postoperative ultrasound, with emphasis on scanning protocols, normal findings, and possible abnormal findings and their significance.

This handbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory and applications of scheduling in advanced planning and computer systems. It addresses a broad audience including practitioners and researchers interested in scheduling, as well as graduate and advanced undergraduate students in the fields of computer science and computer engineering, operations research, industrial and real-time engineering, management science, business administration and information systems, and applied mathematics.

The book begins by providing an introduction to and basic concepts from discrete mathematics. Single and multiple processor systems are covered, with a focus on multiprocessor tasks and hard real-time systems. Flow shop and open shop scheduling, as well as scheduling in job shops, are explained in detail. Issues like limited processor availability, time-dependence, resource constraints and imprecise computations are dealt with in dedicated chapters. Special attention is given toonline scheduling, constraint programming and disjunctive scheduling. The book also features applications and cases involving flexible manufacturing systems, computer integrated production scheduling and logistics. In particular it presents case studies on optimization procedures for the production of acrylic glass and of helicopter parts in a flexible manufacturing system, an efficient decision support system for airport gate scheduling, concrete delivery planning, and berth and quay crane allocation at seaports. 

 This Handbook is about methods, tools and examples of how to architect an enterprise through considering all life cycle aspects of Enterprise Entities (such as individual enterprises, enterprise networks, virtual enterprises, projects and other complex systems including a mixture of automated and human processes). The book is based on ISO15704:2000, or the GERAM Framework (Generalised Enterprise Reference Architecture and Methodology) that generalises the requirements of Enterprise Reference Architectures. Various Architecture Frameworks (PERA, CIMOSA, Grai-GIM, Zachman, C4ISR/DoDAF) are shown in light of GERAM to allow a deeper understanding of their contributions and therefore their correct and knowledgeable use. The handbook addresses a wide variety of audience, and covers methods and tools necessary to design or redesign enterprises, as well as to structure the implementation into manageable projects. 

Dieses Buch wendet sich an Leser, die ihre persönliche Finanzplanung selbst durchführen möchten oder ihre Kunden auf diesem Gebiet beraten wollen. Es führt in die grundlegenden Modelle und Methoden der persönlichen Finanzplanung ein und zeigt ihre Anwendbarkeit an praktischen Beispielen. Im Mittelpunkt steht ein Phasenkonzept, das auf einen individuellen Planungsprozess ausgerichtet ist und das auf Basis des menschlichen Lebenszyklus als Navigationsinstrument für finanzielle Entscheidungen genutzt werden kann. Eine allgemein verständliche Handlungsanleitung für die praktische Umsetzung des Konzepts kann dem Buch entnommen werden.

Die Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologie (IT) stellt heute das Rückgrat des modernen Finanzdienstleistungsgeschäfts dar. Nahezu alle Themen des Banking, des Versicherungsgeschäfts und des Asset Management berühren die Informatik. Das Buch stellt die wesentlichen Konzepte des IT-Managements in der Finanzbranche vor. Dabei wird beachtet, dass die IT nicht nur aus einer Vielzahl an Methoden, Modellen und Technologien besteht, sondern dass auch die aktive Gestaltung durch die IT-Verantwortlichen notwendig ist. Die Besonderheit des Buches liegt in seiner klaren Ausrichtung auf die Finanzdienstleistungsbranche und in der Integration zweier unterschiedlicher Perspektiven: Der erste Teil des Buches betrachtet die Informatik bei Finanzdienstleistern aus Managementperspektive, während der zweite Teil die Betrachtung aus der Methodenperspektive bietet. Der dritte Teil verbindet beide Perspektiven. Das Buch wendet sich gleichermaßen an Studierende und Praktiker.
