Alcohol Drugs and Impaired Driving Forensic Science and Law Enforcement Issues

Alcohol Drugs and Impaired Driving addresses many theoretical and practical issues related to the role played by alcohol and other psychoactive drugs on driving performance road-traffic safety and public health. Several key forensic issues are involved in the enforcement of laws regulating driving under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs including analytical toxicology pharmacology of drug action as well as the relationships between dose taken concentration levels in the body and impairment of performance and behavior. Our knowledge of drunken driving is much more comprehensive than drugged driving so a large part of this book is devoted to alcohol impairment as well as impairment caused by use of drugs other than alcohol. For convenience the book is divided into four main sections. The first section gives some historical background about measuring alcohol in blood and breath as evidence for the prosecution of traffic offenders. The important role of the Breathalyzer instrument in traffic-law enforcement especially in Australia Canada and the USA is presented along with a biographical sketch of its inventor (Professor Robert F. Borkenstein of Indiana University) with focus on the man his work and his impact. The second section discusses several issues related to forensic blood and breath-alcohol alcohol analysis as evidence for prosecution of traffic offenders. This includes how the results should be interpreted in relation to impairment and an evaluation of common defense challenges. Because most countries have adopted concentration per se laws the main thrust of the prosecution case is the suspect’s measured blood- or breath-alcohol concentration. This legal framework necessitates that the analytical methods used are fit for purpose and are subjected to rigorous quality assurance procedures. The third section gives a broad overview of the current state of knowledge about driving under the influence of non-alcohol drugs in various countries. This includes adoption of zero-tolerance laws concentration per se statutes and clinical evidence of driver impairment based on field sobriety tests and drug recognition expert evidence. The fourth section deals with epidemiology enforcement and countermeasures aimed at reducing the threat of drunken and drugged driving. All articles have appeared previously in the international journal Forensic Science Review but all are completely updated with current data references and the latest research on developments since the articles were published. This book contains a convenient collection of the best articles covering recommendations for blood and breath testing methods public policy relating to such methods and forensic and legal implications of the enforcement of measures to counter driving under the influence. | Alcohol Drugs and Impaired Driving Forensic Science and Law Enforcement Issues

Protocols for Multislice Helical Computed Tomography The Fundamentals

Despite the expected decline in the mid-1970s in the use of computed tomography (CT) following the excitement of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) CT has confounded its detractors and remains the imaging modality of choice particularly for the chest and abdomen. Spiral/helical CT with the development of 64-multislice variant has revolutionized diagnostic imaging: image acquistion of large body volumes are obtained in short times during a single-breath hold. Scanning protocols without contrast enhancement are not a challenge; however with intravenous contrast agents critical choices are made and bad choices inevitably produce bad scans. This handy guide provides the reader with a simple introduction to the essential ideas involved and a practical guide to the implementation of rational scanning protocols for multislice spiral instruments. Written by Peter Dawson a well-respected figure in computed tomography and radiology and a world expert on contrast agents Scanning Protocols for Multislice Helical Computed Tomography is an essential guide for all those working with CT as well as those in training. | Protocols for Multislice Helical Computed Tomography The Fundamentals

Vitamin B12 Advances and Insights

Cobalamin (vitamin B12) was discovered in the first half of the 20th century. Vast amount of information on the role of the vitamins in human health and disease became available. Cobalamin science was however based on theoretical concepts that have been accepted without further proof of facts and hypotheses. Recently the breath-taking pace of development in research technologies has changed our understanding for the role of nutrients and the complex interaction between diet environment and diseases. Conditions like aging diet and drugs increase the risk of developing cobalamin deficiency probably because of diminished ability to liberate absorb or distribute the food-derived vitamin. From a basic science point of view understanding of the transport and function of the vitamin may pave the road for using this system for drug delivery. This book represents up-to-date literature on the discoveries and developments in the field of cobalamin. It includes multifaceted aspects of the vitamin in health and disease conditions. The book has been written by leading scientists who have significant contributions in this field and represents therefore a timely unique encyclopaedia on cobalamin. | Vitamin B12 Advances and Insights

The Ecology of Everyday Things

Nature is all around us in the beautiful but also in the unappealing and functional and from the awe-inspiring to the mundane. It is vital that we learn to see the agency of the natural world in all things that make our lives possible comfortable and profitable. The Ecology of Everyday Things pulls back the veil of our familiarity on a range of ‘everyday things’ that surround us and which we perhaps take too much for granted. This key into the magic world of the everyday can enable us to take better account of our common natural inheritance. Professor James Longhurst Assistant Vice Chancellor University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) For many people ecosystems may be a remote concept yet we eat drink breathe and interface with them in every moment of our lives. In this engaging textbook ecosystems scientist Dr. Mark Everard considers a diversity of ‘everyday things’ including fascinating facts about their ecological origins: from the tea we drink to the things we wear read and enjoy to the ecology of communities and space flight and the important roles played by germs and ‘unappealing creatures’ such as slugs and wasps. In today’s society we are so umbilically connected to ecosystems that we fail to notice them and this oversight blinds us to the unsustainability of everyday life and the industries and policy environment that supports it. The Ecology of Everyday Things takes the reader on an enlightening fascinating voyage of discovery all the while soundly rooted in robust science. It will stimulate awareness about how connected we all are to the natural world and its processes and how important it is to learn to better treat our environment. Ideal for use in undergraduate- and school-level teaching it will also interest educate engage and enthuse a wide range of less technical audiences.

The Tower of Pisa History Construction and Geotechnical Stabilization

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is known worldwide for its five-degree lean. The Tower is the Campanile of the Cathedral which together with the Baptistry and Cemetery form a breath-taking collection of monuments which are regarded as supreme examples of early Renaissance Romanesque architecture. In March 1990 the Tower was closed to the public as it was declared unsafe and close to collapse. A Commission was set up by the Italian Government with the task of developing and implementing stabilization measures. This book begins with a brief description of the history of the Tower and its construction. The reader is then introduced to the huge challenges faced by the Commission in designing and implementing appropriate stabilization measures whilst at the same time satisfying the demanding requirements of conserving a world heritage monument. In particular two historical studies are described which proved to be most valuable in arriving at suitable stabilization measures. The first was a deduction of the history of inclination of the tower during and subsequent to construction. The results of this study were used to calibrate a sophisticated numerical model of the tower and the underlying very soft ground which proved vital in evaluating the effectiveness of various stabilization schemes. The second study was of measurements of movement made since 1911. This latter study revealed an unexpected mechanism of foundation movement which proved crucial in developing the temporary and permanent stabilization measures and which resulted in the Tower being re-opened to the public in June 2001. The book will appeal to both professionals and students in the fields of Architecture and Civil Engineering. It will also interest specialised audiences of geotechnical engineers and conservation architects. It may also be of wider interest to anyone planning to visit Pisa or who is intrigued as to what caused the Tower to lean and how it was stabilized. | The Tower of Pisa History Construction and Geotechnical Stabilization

Innovation Commercialization and Start-Ups in Life Sciences

Innovation is a translation of a new method idea or product into reality and profit. It is a process of connected steps that accumulates into a brand reputation required for success. Unlike Fortune 500 companies whose projects are self-funded a start-up must simultaneously have a value proposition that attracts a customer (for revenue) investors (for capital) and acquirers (for a liquidity event or IPO). A high percentage of start-ups fail before attaining positive cashflow due to a variety of reasons that are detailed in this book. Avoiding the pitfalls and wrong turns are the goals of this book. Innovation Commercialization and Start-Ups in Life Sciences details the methodologies necessary to create a successful life science start-up from initiation to exit. Written by an expert who has worked with more nearly 500 life science start-ups this book discusses specific processes and investor milestones that must be navigated to align customer funder and acquirer needs. Successful commercialization requires attention to multiple constituents such as investors regulators and customers. Investors require liquidity for their return which is achieved through selling their stock in a public or private sale. The reader will gain an appreciation for the necessary data partnerships and skills needed to create a competitive and sustainable company. The author discusses such specific issues as customer problems demonstrating sales access and ensuring intellectual property is impervious to competitive advancement.

IP Routing Protocols Link-State and Path-Vector Routing Protocols

This book discusses link-state routing protocols (OSPF and IS-IS) and the path-vector routing protocol (BGP). It covers their most identifying characteristics operations and the databases they maintain. Material is presented from a practicing engineer’s perspective linking theory and fundamental concepts to common practices and real-world examples. Every aspect of the book is written to reflect current best practices using real-world examples. The book begins with a detailed description of the OSPF area types and hierarchical routing and the different types of routers used in an OSPF autonomous system. The author goes on to describe in detail the different OSPF packet types and inbound and outbound processing of OSPF link-state advertisements (LSAs). Next the book gives an overview of the main features of IS-IS. The author then discusses the two-level routing hierarchy for controlling the distribution of intra-domain (Level 1) and inter-domain (Level 2) routing information within an IS-IS routing domain. He then describes in detail IS-IS network address formats IS-IS routing metrics IS-IS packet types IS-IS network types and adjacency formation IS-IS LSDB and synchronization and IS-IS authentication. The book then reviews the main concepts of path-vector routing protocols and describes BGP packet types BGP session states and Finite State Machine BGP path attributes types and BGP Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs). Focuses solely on link-state routing protocols (OSPF and IS-IS) and the only path-vector routing protocol in use today (BGP). Reviews the basic concepts underlying the design of IS-IS and provides a detailed description of IS-IS area types and hierarchical routing and the different types of routers used by IS-IS. Discusses the two-level routing hierarchy for controlling the distribution of intra-domain (Level 1) and inter-domain (Level 2) routing information within an IS-IS routing domain. Describes in detail BGP packet types BGP session states and Finite State Machine BGP path attributes types and BGP ASNs includes a high-level view of the typical BGP router and its components and inbound and outbound message processing. James Aweya PhD is a chief research scientist at the Etisalat British Telecom Innovation Center (EBTIC) Khalifa University Abu Dhabi UAE. He has authored four books including this book and is a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). | IP Routing Protocols Link-State and Path-Vector Routing Protocols
