Practical Guide to ICP-MS and Other Atomic Spectroscopy Techniques A Tutorial for Beginners

Practical Guide to ICP-MS and Other Atomic Spectroscopy Techniques A Tutorial for Beginners

Written by one of the very first practitioners of ICP-MS Practical Guide to ICP-MS and Other Atomic Spectroscopy Techniques: A Tutorial for Beginners presents ICP-MS in a completely novel and refreshing way. By comparing it with other complementary atomic spectroscopy (AS) techniques it gives the trace element analysis user community a glimpse into why the technique was first developed and how the application landscape has defined its use today 40 years after it was first commercialized in 1983. What’s new in the 4th edition: Updated chapters on the fundamental principles and applications of ICP-MS New chapters on complementary AS techniques including AA AF ICP-OES MIP-AES XRF XRD LIBS LALI-TOFMS Strategies for reducing errors and contamination with plasma spectrochemical techniques Comparison of collision and reaction cells including triple/multi quad systems Novel approaches to sample digestion Alternative sample introduction accessories Comprehensive glossary of terms used in AS New vendor contact information The book is not only suited to novices and beginners but also to more experienced analytical scientists who want to know more about recent ICP-MS developments and where the technique might be heading in the future. Furthermore it offers much needed guidance on how best to evaluate commercial AS instrumentation and what might be the best technique based on your lab’s specific application demands. I feel honored to have been asked to deliver the Foreword for this book which is suited not only for beginners but also for more experienced analytical scientists who want to know the advances in plasma spectrochemistry instrumentation and related future opportunities.

Multiple Sclerosis Rehabilitation From Impairment to Participation

Multiple Sclerosis Rehabilitation From Impairment to Participation

MS is always in the back of your mind. If there is something you want to do you always wonder if the MS will allow you do to it. —Darlene living with MS for 22 years Living with multiple sclerosis (MS) is challenging and multidimensional. MS pervades all aspects of life: one’s body becomes unpredictable and unreliable one’s identity and sense of self are tested and relationships with others often change. MS symptoms emerge and remit; limitations evolve and progress. MS rehabilitation is an active person-centered and goal-oriented process embedded within a respectful and collaborative partnership between the person with MS and the members of his or her rehabilitation treatment team. Using the International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health (ICF) as a guiding framework Multiple Sclerosis Rehabilitation: From Impairment to Participation provides a comprehensive and evidence-based resource to inform and guide clinical reasoning and decision making during each phase of the MS rehabilitation process from initial referral to post-discharge follow-up. With an emphasis on the application of evidence throughout the entire MS rehabilitation process the specific objectives of the book are to increase the understanding of: The nature and impact of specific impairments activity limitations and participation restrictions experienced by people with MS How to select and use valid reliable and relevant assessment tools to inform the development of rehabilitation goals and intervention plans and to evaluate outcomes This book provides information about the nature and impact of MS on the daily lives of people living with the disease describes evidence-based assessment processes and instruments and summarizes current knowledge that can inform goal setting and intervention planning. Thoughtful application of the knowledge contained in this book will inform and guide rehabilitation providers to work collaboratively with people with MS and enable them to achieve their goals for participation in everyday life. | Multiple Sclerosis Rehabilitation From Impairment to Participation

The Guiana Travels of Robert Schomburgk / 1835–1844 / Volume I / Explorations on behalf of the Royal Geographical Society 1835–183

The Guiana Travels of Robert Schomburgk / 1835–1844 / Volume I / Explorations on behalf of the Royal Geographical Society 1835–183

This is the first of a pair of volumes publishing the full reports of Schomburgk's travels in Guiana between 1835 and 1844 previously available only in greatly abridged and heavily edited versions. Robert Schomburgk left his native Germany for North America in 1828 aged twenty-four. A year later he was in the Caribbean where after various business failures he devoted himself to the investigation of natural history especially botany. Although he had no previous contact with the Royal Geographical Society in London the work he submitted to it was of such a quality that he was able to persuade the Society to sponsor explorations in the north-east of South America an area for which no accurate maps and little reliable information existed. From Schomburgk's arrival in British Guiana in 1835 up to 1839 he explored much of the interior of the colony and completed the arduous overland journey to the Orinoco to connect his survey with that of Alexander von Humboldt. During these expeditions he witnessed maltreatment of Amerindians at the hand of Brazilians and having ascertained that the boundary between Brazil and British Guiana was undefined he proposed it should be fixed so that those within the British colony would be protected from further harassment. The British Government decided to go ahead with this exercise and Schomburgk was appointed boundary commissioner with the task of surveying the boundaries of the colony. He did this between 1841 and 1843 returning to London in 1844 to be rewarded with a knighthood for his services. During much of his subsequent career until his death in 1865 he acted as a British consul first in Santo Domingo and then in Bangkok. | The Guiana Travels of Robert Schomburgk / 1835–1844 / Volume I / Explorations on behalf of the Royal Geographical Society 1835–183

Superheroes and Identities

Superheroes and Identities

Superheroes have been the major genre to emerge from comics and graphic novels saturating popular culture with images of muscular men and sexy women. A major aspect of this genre is identity in the roles played by individuals the development of identities through extended stories and in the ways the characters inspire audiences. This collection analyses stories from popular comics franchises such as Batman Captain America Ms Marvel and X-Men alongside less well known comics such as Kabuki and Flex Mentallo. It explores what superhero narratives can reveal about our attitudes towards femininity race maternity masculinity and queer culture. Using this approach the volume asks questions such as why there are no black supervillains in mainstream comics how second wave feminism and feminist film theory may help us to understand female comic book characters the ways in which Flex Mentallo transcends the boundaries of straightness and gayness and how both fans and industry appropriate the sexual identity of superheroes.
