This practical guide is designed for students and researchers with an existing knowledge of R who wish to learn how to apply it in an epidemiological context and exploit its versatility. It also serves as a broader introduction to the quantitative aspects of modern practical epidemiology. The standard tools used in epidemiology are described and the practical use of R for these is clearly explained and laid out. R code examples, many with output, are embedded throughout the text. The entire code is also available on the companion website so that readers can reproduce all the results and graphs featured in the book. Epidemiology with R is an advanced textbook suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students, professional researchers, and practitioners in the fields of human and non-human epidemiology, public health, veterinary science, and biostatistics.

This book provides a practical guide to analysis of simple and complex method comparison data, using Stata, SAS and R. It takes the classical Limits of Agreement as a starting point, and presents it in a proper statistical framework. The model serves as a reference for reporting sources of variation and for providing conversion equations and plots between methods for practical use, including prediction uncertainty. Presents a modeling framework for analysis of data and reporting of results from comparing measurements from different clinical centers and/or different methods.Provides the practical tools for analyzing method comparison studies along with guidance on what to report and how to plan comparison studies and advice on appropriate software.Illustrated throughout with computer examples in R.Supported by a supplementary website hosting an R-package that performs the major part of the analyses needed in the area.Examples in SAS and Stata for the most common situations are also provided.Written by an acknowledged expert on the subject, with a long standing experience as a biostatistician in a clinical environment and a track record of delivering training on the subject. Biostatisticians, clinicians, medical researchers and practitioners involved in research and analysis of measurement methods and laboratory investigations will benefit from this book. Students of statistics, biostatistics, and the chemical sciences will also find this book useful.
”Ingen spurgte mig!” Sådan kan virkeligheden se ud for børn og unge, som ikke oplever at blive inddraget tilstrækkeligt i deres egne sager på myndighedsområdet eller i den pædagogiske hverdagspraksis. Denne bog skaber et fælles fokus på børns rettigheder og deltagelse. Perspektivet er vendt mod at give barnet status som en ligeværdig beslutningstager. Som studerende eller professionel får du indsigt i arbejdet med at øge børn og unges deltagelsesmuligheder. Kapitlerne åbner hver især for en bredere og dybere forståelse af de mange vilkår, der vanskeliggør børns reelle deltagelse. Det sker i en vekselvirkning mellem empirisk forskning, teoretiske analyser og præsentation af praktiske refleksionsmodeller. Børn som deltagere i professionel praksis henvender sig til socialrådgiver-, pædagog- og lærerstuderende og adresserer praksisfeltet. Inddragelsen af forsknings- og refleksionsmetoder gør den anvendelig på både bachelor- og kandidatniveau.

Denne bog handler om pædagogisk arbejde i dagtilbud. Den er rettet mod den undervisning på pædagoguddannelsen, som vedrører dagtilbudsområdet. Det betyder, at man kan genfinde alle de tematikker, som undervisningen skal dække, i bogens tankevækkende kapitler. Bogen er en del af serien ”Tæt på pædagogik”, som har særligt fokus på tilgængelighed og læsevenlighed. Ambitionen er, at serien i både sprog og opbygning kommer de studerende i møde med de forudsætninger, de har. Studerende kan finde hjælp til at forstå svære begreber i bogens ordforklaringer, mens bogens sidenoter kan hjælpe med at give overblik over læsningen. For at støtte op om arbejdet med at omsætte den teoretiske viden i bogen indledes alle kapitler med et relevant eksempel, som er centralt for det enkelte kapitels kobling til praksis. Desuden er der refleksionsspørgsmål, så de studerende undervejs kan forholde sig aktivt til de problemstillinger, som behandles i kapitlerne.
Alle bearbejdningsteknikker inden for spånløs og spåntagende bearbejdning bliver gennemgået. Måleteknikken, som er fundamentet for al god fremstillingsteknik, behandles i dybden i et stort afsnit. Bogen indeholder en grundig beskrivelse af elektrotekniske, pneumatiske og hydrauliske styringer. Der kræves ingen forudsætninger af læseren, da hvert emne behandles fra bunden. IndustriTeknologi 2. udgave er opdateret, så de sidste ti års teknologiske udvikling er afspejlet. Desuden er bogen væsentligt ombearbejdet i et helt nyt og mere læsevenligt layout. Der er flere nye afsnit bl.a. om CIM og ekstrudering. I bogens øvrige afsnit er der lavet væsentlige forbedringer, så indholdet modsvarer målgruppens krav. IndustriTeknologi er udarbejdet til undervisningen ved erhvervsskoler og erhvervsakademier, men vil også egne sig til undervisningen andre steder, hvor man beskæftiger sig med faget. Bogens indhold sammenholdt med den omfattende stikordsliste gør den til et nyttigt opslagsværk, der altid bør være inden for rækkevidde.

Storied pilot Homer Stockert, born in Churubusco, Indiana, won air races in Fort Wayne in the 1920s, earning him legendary fame while only in his twenties. In 1933, he established the Stockert Flying Service at Bendix Field, South Bend, Indiana, an airport built by entrepreneur Vincent Bendix. After serving as a test pilot of the P-47 Thunderbolt fighter aircraft in Evansville, Indiana, during World War II, Stockert returned to Bendix Field to expand his flying service with his business-savvy wife, Dora. Stockert led a successful life of leadership in private aviation until his death in 1971.
Chosen Ones is a comprehensive monograph on the work of German painter Bendix Harms (born 1967), spanning over 15 years of work. A repertoire of motifs recurs throughout the nearly 400-page volume: birds, trees, airplanes, cars and the artist's profile, all rendered in loose, exuberant strokes of gray and muddy orange. Drawing on elusive autobiographical references, the paintings--whether of grotesque figures or more surrealistic scenes--are often humorous and suggestively narrative, compelling in their apparent disregard for and liberation from concept. “I love artists’ late works,” he has said, “when they display a completely free style because it no longer matters whether their work will earn them applause or a rap over the knuckles.” The first major monograph on the artist, Chosen Ones features texts by Gisela Corleis and Grace Dunham as well as black-and-white photographs by Harms, in addition to reproductions of more than 300 paintings.

But the fact is, these super-tubes were made by what to most people was an obscure division of Bendix Aviation Corporation. The plant in which they were made was originally called the Bendix Red Bank Division, in Eatontown, N.J. the author is goingto take you on a bit of a trip through history: The history of military vacuum tubes, the history of Bendix Aviation, the triggering event that put Eclipse-Pioneer and Bendix Aviation in the vacuum tube business, and a history of the Bendixtube business and its important developments. The author is also going to give you valuable information about all the hype and hoopla surrounding the "Bendix" tubes being offered on eBay and other surplus sources.The Bendix tube business ceased operation only about 45 years ago, but detailed information is extremely difficult to find. It was mainly through the remaining retired employees, the local Bendix retired employees associations, and old Eatontown documents that were used by the author to piece together this puzzle. Some of it is anecdotal and may not be entirely accurate. By the time the author started working at Bendix in 1966, there was hardly even a mention of the tube businessat Eatontown.
