'Professionalism in Healthcare' addresses the special skills and attitudes that a worker must possess to be recognised as a health care professional. This text stresses that recognition as a healthcare professional has to be earned and maintained each and every day and that professionalism is a state of mind.
This book explains and illustrates key concepts of programming by taking a breadth approach to programming languages. It uses C++ as the primary language throughout, demonstrating imperative, functional and object-oriented language concepts.
David Myers' bestselling Psychology has reached a wider audience of students and instructors with each new edition. Myers and his team lead the field in being attuned to psychology's research and the needs of the instructors and students in the course today. Ten million student class testers and thousands of adopting instructors can attest to the quality of this project. True to form, this landmark new Tenth Edition is another vigorous, deeply considered revision.DSM 5 Updates

Pulmonary Immunotoxicology is a comprehensive exploration of the effects of various inhaled materials upon the immune system of the respiratory tract. It will be useful to investigators in the field of pulmonary toxicology and immunotoxicology, and to those involved in administration and regulation of matters related to inhaled materials. It can also serve as a textbook for a course in pulmonary immunotoxicology at graduate or advanced undergraduate level.
Pulmonary Immunotoxicology comprises four sections. The first provides basic background concepts essential for understanding pulmonary immunotoxicology, including discussions of the normal structure and function of the respiratory system, its basic immunology, and the manner by which inhaled particles and gases are removed from the air and deposited upon respiratory tract surfaces. The second section provides an overview of the major types of pathological consequences which can arise from immunomodulation within the respiratory tract, including hypersensitivity and asthma, inflammation and fibrosis, as well as immunosuppression and autoimmunity. The third section, which comprises the largest portion of the book, deals specifically with major classes of airborne agents that are known to alter the immune function of the respiratory tract. These are arranged into major classes: organic agents, metals, gases, particles, biologics, and complex mixtures. The fourth and final section of the book explores the area of risk assessment, including discussions of the basic concepts of risk assessment as they apply specifically to immunotoxicologic effects upon the lungs, and the use of biomarkers as indices of potential pulmonary immunotoxic responses to inhaled materials.

This book is written to help the working programmer unleash the potential power of metaclasses. Metaclasses offer great promise to the world of object-oriented programming because their implementation can result in greater software reuse. The authors present a specific instruction set for programming metaclasses, complete with illustrations and examples. This instruction set is used to place metaclasses into the greater context of object-oriented programming.
Metaclasses are powerful, potentially complex, and somewhat controversial. Some experienced programmers decry their use, yet many others recognize their value and promote them as an important concept that will improve the quality of software production while reducing costs. This book illustrates the difficult concepts, demonstrates proven application techniques, and enables programmers to put metaclasses to work. The debate over this technology is sure to heat up, and this book is the first to describe how metaclasses can be used in a practical setting.
The fifth in the series of international conferences on High Temperature Materials, the papers in this volume cover the processing and properties of Ti alloys for automotive, aerospace, and other high temperature applications.
