SPSS is, essentially, a visually-driven program, but most texts rely primarily on a verbal approach to describe its use. A Visual Approach to SPSS for Windows is the first text of its kind to employ "visual sequencing" to teach students how to use SPSS. This approach presents screen shots of SPSS windows combined with instructions that describe the sequence of each action needed to implement a procedure. Students find it easy to adapt the example shown in the book to their own analyses. In addition to describing how to run statistical procedures and interpret the output, the text also provides a brief discussion of the rationale underlying use of each statistical procedure and assumptions underlying the procedure. Additional features include detailed instructions for inspecting and interpreting output, examples of the format for reporting outcomes of statistical tests, and end-of-chapter exercises to test for mastery of the procedures that were described.

This atlas features sequential pictures for most reconstructive urology procedures, also covering laparoscopic assisted procedures such as orthotopic neobladder and ileocystoplasty. Unlike many other titles covering this subject however, illustrations in e majority of chapters in this work are drawn purely from a single case, allowing the reader to chart such complex surgeries step-by-step. Laparoscopic assisted procedures drastically reduce the operative time required, and those surgeons with moderate filiarity with urology and laparoscopic process should be able to complete these operations comfortably. Though the use of advanced technology is described, the book has been constructed in such a way that urologists from both developed and developing couries would be able to pick up the technical tips featured to perform the laparoscopic procedures also using simplified devices. This book also deals with some of the unusual situations or complications that the vastly experienced...

In the environmental domain there are a multitude of existing legacy models and statistical procedures that have to be integrated in modern environmental information systems being Web-based or realized as classical client/server applications. The ORCHESTRA project provides an architectural framework and a set of services that allows to build service networks based on international standards of ISO, OGC, W3C and OASIS. In this book the design of an application and a service network, that allows users to discover and invoke environmental models, is described. As a baseline, the existing ORCHESTRA services, especially the ORCHESTRA Catalogue Service, are integrated in architecture. The design of the service network describes the used services and the workflow, which is required to find and invoke the required environmental model. Furthermore a possible design and implementation of a client application is specified. For this application a search interface, which allows the user...

In the north-eastern Himalayas, at the foot of Mount Kanchenjunga, in a crumbling isolated house, there lives a cantankerous old judge, who wants nothing more than to. retire in peace. But with the arrival of his orphaned granddaughter, Sai, and the son of his chatty cook trying to make his way in the US and stay a step ahead of the immigration services, this is far from easy. When a Nepalese insurgency threatens the blossoming romance between Sai and her handsome tutor, they, too, are forced to consider their colliding interests. And the judge must revisit his past, his own journey and his role in this grasping world of conflicting desires - every moment holding out the possibility of hope or betrayal. A story of such depth and emotion, hilarity and imagination, rich, beautiful and infinitely wise, The Inheritance of Loss is a glorious second novel from the author of the universally praised Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard.
