Trees at their Upper Limit : Treelife limitation at the Alpine timberline
Trees at their Upper Limit presents a complete modern synthesis of current knowledge on the ecophysiology of tree growth and survival on high mountains in Europe.
Tree Transgenesis : Recent Developments
A continuous development in plant biotechnology including gene technology has been observable during the past 20 years. Different methods elaborated with model plants were also applied to forest trees on a larger scale. Whereas in the beginning the meaning of the term “plant biotechnology” embraced a wide variety of meanings like, e. g. , regeneration of plantlets via tissue culture, embryo rescue, somatic embryogenesis and gene transfer, the focus of this term has changed more and more.
Treatment planning in implant dentistry
Outlines a comprehensive interdisciplinary practice philosophy designed for developing the foundation of optimal diagnosis and treatment planning in implant dentistry. The goal of modern implant dentistry is no longer represented solely by successful osseointegration. This book focuses on analogue and digital workflows from single tooth to full mouth. It discusses the approach of interdisciplinary therapy which involves the combination of knowledge, skills, and experience of all the disciplines of dentistry.
Treating Chronic Depression with Disciplined Personal Involvement : Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy (CBASP)
For more than a century, the psychotherapist role has been dominated by Freud’s neutrality rule: don’t become personally involved with patients! McCullough challenges this widely accepted dictum in a new treatment approach for the chronically depressed patient. He proposes disciplined personal involvement as an alternative to therapist neutrality with chronically depressed patients, describing how this approach can be used in a contingent manner to successfully modify pathological behavior. These latest guidelines expand on his pioneering work, Treatment for Chronic Depression: Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy(CBASP).
Trease & Evans Pharmacognosy
Covers the study of those natural substances, principally plants, that find a use in medicine. Its popularity and longevity stem from the book's balance between classical (crude and powdered drugs' characterization and examination) and modern (phytochemistry and pharmacology) aspects of this branch of science, as well as the editor's recognition in recent years of the growing importance of complementary medicines, including herbal, homeopathic and aromatherapy.
Trauma - An Engineering Analysis : With Medical Case Studies Investigation
The purpose of this book is to bring together experts from the medical and engineering fields in which trauma acts as a fulcrum in understanding the engineering approach to medical cases. The emphasis of this book is on the retrospective study of medical scenarios as seen from the engineering perspective. An in-depth study is required to ensure the accuracy of both medical and engineering data. Where static, dynamic, temperature and impact loads and velocities/accelerations are unknown; they are evaluated using the material properties and fracture geometry of case studies. From the analytical techniques, a prospective study would assist in predicting the outcome of post-trauma damage. Generally, the book covers a wide spectrum of trauma case studies and could be used in medico-legal test cases. The medical opinion can be translated into the engineering analysis there by validating or invalidating the total medical decisions.
Trattamento del distacco retinico primario : La storia, le opzioni, le tecniche = Treatment of primary retinal detachment : History, options, techniques
Questo compendio, ricco di informazioni, rappresenta per il moderno chirurgo vitreo-retinico una guida basilare. Esperti nel campo della chirurgia retinica e vitreale, descrivono le tecniche chirurgiche delle quattro procedure principali, in uso all’inizio del ventunesimo secolo: cerchiaggio con drenaggio, retinopessia pneumatica, vitrectomia primaria, ed indentazione minimale senza drenaggio. Vantaggi e svantaggi di ciascuna tecnica sono valutati, e confrontati tra loro in relazione alla selezione dei casi, al riaccollamento retinico dopo un singolo intervento, al riaccollamento finale, alle complicazioni, alla funzione visiva ed al rapporto costo-benefici. Quest’opera, dal carattere formativo, descrive inoltre come la moderna terapia farmacologica sia utilizzata come adiuvante per migliorare il risultato chirurgico e funzionale di queste tecniche. Sono altresì trattate le nuove tecniche di imaging, quali l’uso dei fotoni balistici, lo pseudocolor SLO a grandangolo, ed i farmaci anti-proliferativi, fornendo un’anticipazione delle prospettive future.
Trapped Charged Particles and Fundamental Interactions
The development of ion traps has spurred significant experimental activities able to link measurable quantities to the most fundamental aspects of physics. The first chapter sets the scene and motivates the use of ion traps with an in-depth survey of the low-energy electroweak sector of the standard model amenable to precision test. The next parts then introduce and review aspects of the theory, simulation and experimental implementation of such traps. Last but not least, two important applications, namely high resolution mass spectrometry in Penning traps and tests of fundamental physics - such as the CPT theorem - with trapped antiprotons are discussed.

Transport, Trade and Economic Growth — Coupled or Decoupled? : An Inquiry into Relationships between Transport, Trade and Economic Growth and into User Preferences concerning Growth-oriented Transport Policy
Over the past decade, the transport industry has been the target of growing criticism over its role in the pollution of the environment, while the advocates of free trade stress the importance of transport in enhancing economic growth and consequently living standards. These starkly contrasting viewpoints have created a dilemma for politicians and business people alike. In order to address this challenge, the first part of this book provides an empirical analysis of the relationship between transport and economic growth, or more specifically, whether the "decoupling" of transport and economic growth is possible. Focusing on growth-oriented transport policy, the second part of this book provides details on the user preferences of logistic managers concerning the characteristics of transport infrastructure and services.

Transport Phenomena and Kinetic Theory : Applications to Gases, Semiconductors, Photons, and Biological Systems
The study of kinetic equations related to gases, semiconductors, photons, traffic flow, and other systems has developed rapidly in recent years because of its role as a mathematical tool in many applications in areas such as engineering, meteorology, biology, chemistry, materials science, nanotechnology, and pharmacy. Written by leading specialists in their respective fields, this book presents an overview of recent developments in the field of mathematical kinetic theory with a focus on modeling complex systems, emphasizing both mathematical properties and their physical meaning.
Transport Equations in Biology
The book contains many ex- ples without mathematical analysis.In some other cases complete mathematical proofs are detailed, but the choice has been a compromise between technicality and ease of interpretation of the mathematical result. It is usual in the ?eld to see mathematics as a blackboxwhere to enter specifc models, often at the expense of simplifcations. Here, the idea is di?erent; the mathematical proof should be close to the ‘natural’ structure of the model and refect somehow its meaning in terms of applications. Dealing with frstorder PDEs,onecould think that the senotesarerelyingon the burden of using the method of characteristics and of defning weak solutions.
Transport Coefficients of Fluids
Until recently the formal statistical mechanical approach offered no practicable method for computing the transport coefficients of liquids, and so most practitioners had to resort to empirical fitting formulas. This has now changed, as demonstrated in this innovative monograph. The author presents and applies new methods based on statistical mechanics for calculating the transport coefficients of simple and complex liquids over wide ranges of density and temperature. These molecular theories enable the transport coefficients to be calculated in terms of equilibrium thermodynamic properties, and the results are shown to account satisfactorily for experimental observations, including even the non-Newtonian behavior of fluids far from equilibrium.
