Bloodstain Pattern Analysis with an Introduction to Crime Scene Reconstruction Third Edition in full-color by Tom Bevel and Ross M. Gardner is long overdue. This completely revised and enhanced edition is a practical and concisely written text. It is the most complete and comprehensive handbook to date from the perspective of the criminal investigator and forensic scientist on the subject of bloodstain spatter analysis. The authors have provided the reader with an eloquent and practical guide for the analysis of bloodstain patterns and crime scene reconstruction based on many years of practical experience. Their original lab manual published over 24 years ago was entitled “Bloodstain Pattern Analysis: Theory and Practice.” This manual eventually became the framework for the first edition of Bloodstain Pattern Analysis with an Introduction to Crime Scene Reconstruction, which challenged some of the subjective interpretation systems of bloodstain pattern assessments. |

Since the release of the first edition in 2000, significant strides have been made regarding the acceptance of heat pump technology by operators and technicians, as well as by the public. Finally, the gap between national Kyoto Protocol goals and actual CO2 emissions is being addressed with new policies. Heat pump technology, which has received too little attention until now, is now gaining some of the credit to which it is entitled.This is due to the fact that energy efficiency and environmental impact guidelines for heating technology are often best fulfilled through the use of heat pump technology. This handbook is intended to act as a guideline for the planning and installation of heat pump heating systems. The contents are based on years of practical experience and results of ongoing development, as well as broad, international knowledge exchange. |

The field of medical toxicology can be simply divided into animal and human poisonings from animal, plant, or man-made sources. Even more precisely, toxinology is the study of poisoning and envenoming by biological organisms, and toxicology is the study of human poisoning from manmade sources. Living organisms, such as animals, plants, and fungi, produce biological toxins. Man-made toxins, or toxoids, are produced by controlled chemical reactions, often on an industrial scale, designed to produce novel pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, household cleansers, fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and other useful and necessary consumer and commercial products. Unfortunately, some biological toxins have already been developed, deployed, and used as bioterror weapons (e.g., ricin from the castor bean and Shiga toxin from Shigella bacteria). Other biological toxins, most notably Staphyloccal toxins A and B, botulinum toxins, and a variety of fungal mycotoxins, can be mass-produced by rogue nations for biological warfare and agricultural and antipersonnel terrorism. Many biological toxins, such as poison hemlock, pyrethrin, and red squill, and man-made toxoids, such as arsenic and thallium salts and pyrethroids, have long been used as pesticides, fungicides, and even as human poisons. Several types of poison gases, including both vesicant and neurotoxic agents, were intentionally released during World War I and in very recent wars (Iran-Iraq War) and terror attacks (Sarin nerve gas attacks in Japan). This book will serve as a visual and written reminder of the ubiquitous sources of toxins and toxoids in the environment and the outcomes of accidental or intentional toxic exposures in humans. |

Nowadays, propellants, explosives and pyrotechnics are composed mainly of particulate energetic materials. These are gaining in importance as a way to optimize the performance, burning behavior, stability, detonation properties, processing characteristics and, above all, the low sensitivity of these systems. By varying the characteristic profile of these materials, product design provides for particulate components specially optimized for the application in question. Well-known solid formation processes are often used to create particles of energetic materials, such as crystallization or precipitation, comminution or atomization. Although there is a certain amount of information available about these processes for particle syntheses or processing, there is currently a lack of detailed comprehension in some points, which is needed to be able to completely control the particle formation process or to make reliable predictions about the profile required by the user for the particles so created. Vital questions and tasks remaining for particle technology of energetic materials are the comprehensive characterization of particulate components, the experimental determination of the kinetics of particle formation processes, the influence of the manufacturing process on important particle characteristics, such as particle size distribution, morphology or polymorphy, the simulation and modeling of particle formation processes and particulate materials, as well as the creation of low-defect particles with regard to the sensitivity of propellants and explosives. This book is targeted at those working in industry, government or R&D, and involved in the fascinating field of energetic or other special materials. It will hopefully contribute to summarizing our current level of knowledge. |

This is the second edition of my book Galaxy Formation.Many people liked the first edition which appeared in 1998, just before the explosion of magnificent new data which have completely changed the face of astrophysical cosmology. Many of the agonies which had to be gone through in the first edition have disappeared and, to many people’s amazement, including mine, there is now a concordance model for cosmology, the cosmologist’s equivalent of the particle physicist’s standard model. Just like the standard model, however, the concordance model creates as many problems as it solves. This is not a cause for concern, but rather one for celebration because we are now able to ask much better and deeper questions than in the past. These questions indicate clearly the need for physics and astrophysics ‘Beyond the Concordance Model’. |

The Compressed Air Manual is a resource for everyone who wishes to know more about compressed air. This edition, the sixth, is in many respects extended, updated and improved compared to previous editions, of which the last was issued in 1976. Naturally a great deal has happened during these twenty or more years, nevertheless the fundamentals remain and make up the core of this Manual, which has been desired and requested by many. The Manual addresses the essentials of theoretical and practical issues faced by everyone working with compressed air on a day-to-day basis, from the fundamental theoretical relations to more practical advice and tips. The main addition to this edition is an increased concentration on environmental aspects, air quality issues, energy savings and compressed air economy. Furthermore, we conclude with calculation examples as well as diverse, helpful table information and a complete keyword index. The Manual’s contents have been produced by our leading compressed air technicians and I hope that the different sections act both as a textbook for newcomers and a reference book for more experienced users. |

Wireless communication slowly is becoming reality. In a wireless world, a printer is installed automatically after it is turned on; keyboard and mouse cables no longer become hopelessly tangled; Palm Pilots and mobile telephones automatically synchronize and communicate. Providing this sort of seamless, wireless communication--at a low cost--is the goal of Bluetooth technology. Devices that support Bluetooth automatically communicate with one another when they come within a 30-foot range of each other. If devices are compatible and properly authenticated, they start communicating, up to a maximum bandwidth of 1 Mbps. Although Bluetooth has a relatively short range and limited bandwidth, it requires very little power and is theoretically inexpensive. This makes it the ideal technology for portable devices that run on batteries, as well as devices that don't require massive bandwidth. |

The problem was that the United States was not fully covered under its single ABM system, leaving Alaska and Hawaii unprotected. Alaska produces about 22% of U.S. oil requirements, holds all 33 strategic minerals in commercial quantities and represents tremendous natural resource wealth. Hawaii is a strategic point for the entire Pacific presence of the United States military. These two areas, in the estimation of military planners, had to be protected. The need for a system to protect Alaska and Hawaii is acknowledged and we agree that these regions should be protected. We believe that this could be accomplished in a more open and honest way, particularly when it affects our allies and the American public. |

With the dramatically increasing number of users and the potential impact of climatic change, human systems and the hydrological system might be on an unsustainable path. Indeed, population rises, the climate seems to change, and water demands grow to quench the thirst of cities, suburbs, industry, and agriculture, often leaving ecosystem needs on thewayside. All of these factors might lead to potential conflicts among uses and users. However, water scarcity is not the only concern, as we are reminded by recent flooding events that have spelled disaster for the human communities living in affected areas. In the past decade, water-related pressures have resulted in media headlines foreboding a future wrought with “water wars.” With 263 rivers and countless aquifers transversing national boundaries, the cultivation of such a somber image is not surprising. Indeed, water cuts across the boundaries of countries, cultures, and economic sectors, meaning that water planning and decision making in one jurisdiction has the potential to spill over to into others. The risk of disruption, conflict, and violence exists around transboundary waters. However, earlier work by the authors points to a lengthy history of cooperative interactions, rather than conflicts, over this precious resource. |
