Pipeline engineering has struggled to develop as a single field of study due to the wide range of industries and government organizations using different types of pipelines for all types of solids, liquids, and gases. This fragmentation has impeded professional development, job mobility, technology transfer, the diffusion of knowledge, and the movement of manpower. No single, authoritative course or book has existed to unite practitioners.In response, Pipeline Engineering covers the essential aspects and types of pipeline engineering in a single volume. This work is divided into two parts. Part I, Pipe Flows, delivers an integrated treatment of all variants of pipe flow including incompressible and compressible, Newtonian and non-Newtonian, slurry and multiphase flows, capsule flows, and pneumatic transport of solids. Part II, Engineering Considerations, summarizes the equipment and methods required for successful planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of pipelines.By addressing the fundamentals of pipeline engineering-concepts, theories, equations, and facts-this groundbreaking text identifies the cornerstones of the discipline, providing engineers with a springboard to success in the field. It is a must-read for all pipeline engineers.

This book fills the need for a single comprehensive work on oncological anesthesia written by anesthesiologists. Divided into 14 distinct sections, this title includes the most up-to-date surgical oncologic procedures/treatments (new adjunctive treatments, new surgical techniques), perioperative care and anesthetic considerations and protocols. The highly experienced authors explain how the new treatments affect anesthesia implementations. Chapters are formatted to be “Comprehensive and Concise”, COMPREHENSIVE means the book will cover almost everything related to the anesthetic management of oncological surgical procedures and treatment, CONCISE means each chapter will be practical in format to include surgical highlights, positions, paralysis, anesthesia options, monitoring, durations, anesthesia key points, postoperative analgesia, and postoperative destinations”. An invaluable resource for anesthesiologists, certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA), certified Anesthesiologist assistants (CAA), anesthesia trainees (anesthesiology residents/fellows, students registered nurse anesthetists, student Anesthesiologist assistants), and oncological surgeons.

The second edition of Blood Substitutes delivers a comprehensive and authoritative update on the rapidly evolving field of artificial oxygen therapeutics and next‑generation blood products. Building on the foundation of the first edition, this volume expands its scope to include the latest scientific advances and innovative approaches that are reshaping transfusion medicine. From hemoglobin‑based and perfluorocarbon‑based oxygen carriers to engineered proteins, vesicles, and nanotechnologies, the book offers an in‑depth exploration of the most promising solutions to global blood supply challenges. A significantly expanded set of chapters on plasma, platelets, and hemostasis reflects the fast-growing importance of novel blood product development. Readers will find expert coverage of lyophilized plasma, freeze‑dried platelet hemostatic technologies, cryopreserved platelets, and the regenerative and immunologic properties of plasma-based therapies. These insights highlight both the scientific innovation and clinical potential driving the next generation of trauma, perioperative, and critical care interventions. With contributions from leading investigators and clinician‑scientists, this edition integrates foundational biochemistry with translational research, regulatory considerations, and real-world applications. Detailed analyses of cutting-edge agents equip readers with a clear understanding of current evidence, safety profiles, and therapeutic opportunities. Designed for a wide clinical and scientific audience, Blood Substitutes, 2nd Edition serves as an essential reference for professionals in surgery, anesthesiology, obstetrics and gynecology, trauma care, hematology/oncology, cardiology, pediatrics, critical care, and military medicine. Whether used for research, education, or clinical decision-making, this volume offers a definitive and forward‑looking guide to the future of blood replacement and oxygen biotherapeutics.
