A comprehensive review of intraoperative radiation therapy, beginning with the rationale for innovative treatment and the radiobiology of single doses. Problems encountered in modifying a linear accelerator and a radiation therapy suite are reviewed in detail along with special problems relating to technology, nursing, anesthesiology, and various surgical subspecialties. Intraoperative radiation therapy applicators and dosimetric considerations are also reviewed. This text is a valuable reference tool for institutions planning to develop or construct intraoperative radiation therapy facilities.

""Galento The Great"" by Joseph G. Donovan is a comprehensive biography of Tony Galento, a legendary boxer known for his larger-than-life personality and fighting style. The book covers Galento's life from his early days as a professional wrestler to his rise as a heavyweight contender in the 1930s and 1940s. Donovan provides a detailed account of Galento's ring battles, including his famous fight against Joe Louis in 1939, which was dubbed ""The Brown Bomber vs. The Barroom Brawler."" The author also delves into Galento's personal life, including his struggles with alcoholism and his complicated relationships with women. The book is based on extensive research and includes interviews with Galento's family, friends, and boxing colleagues. It also features rare photographs and newspaper clippings that provide a glimpse into Galento's colorful career. Overall, ""Galento The Great"" is a must-read for boxing fans and anyone interested in the history of American sports. It offers a fascinating look at one of boxing's most colorful characters and provides insight into the world of professional boxing during the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Wash Roebling's War is a book that compiles a selection of previously unpublished letters written by Washington Augustus Roebling during the American Civil War. Roebling was a young engineer who later became famous for designing and overseeing the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. The letters in this book provide a unique perspective on the war, as they offer a firsthand account of the experiences of a Union soldier who was also an engineer.The book is divided into chapters that correspond to different periods of the war, and each chapter includes an introduction that provides context for the letters. The letters themselves are arranged chronologically within each chapter, and they cover a wide range of topics, including battles, camp life, and personal reflections on the war.Through his letters, Roebling emerges as a thoughtful and observant young man who is deeply committed to the Union cause. He writes eloquently about the horrors of war, but also about the camaraderie and sense of purpose that he and his fellow soldiers share. He also writes about his work as an engineer, including his efforts to build bridges and other structures to support the Union army.Overall, Wash Roebling's War is a fascinating and engaging read that offers a unique perspective on the American Civil War. It will appeal to anyone with an interest in history, engineering, or the experiences of soldiers during wartime.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This book addresses important aspects of MEMS designs that are well established in engineering practice but rarely discussed in the standard textbooks. One such aspect is the ubiquitous use of tapered beams in the sensing and actuation elements of MEMS designs. As explained in this book, the tapered beam has distinct advantages over the standard rectangular beam but these advantages are often left unarticulated due to the blind trust in the finite-element models of MEMS devices. In this monograph, the authors take a fundamental, physics-based approach to the modeling of tapered beams in MEMS that is based on a rigorous perturbation analysis of the traditional Euler-Bernoulli beam. The authors demonstrate how perturbation methods combined with symbolic modeling and the tools of computer algebra enable the development of semi-analytical models for tapered-beam MEMS elements. They pay particular attention to the application of these novel models to piezoelectric MEMS energy harvesters with tapered-beam elements, including the development of lumped-parameter circuit models that can be readily used for fast electro-mechanical simulations. Another important aspect of MEMS designs that is extensively addressed in the book is the uncertainty quantification (UQ) of tapered-beam MEMS elements using both Monte Carlo and polynomial chaos expansion methods. These UQ methods are applied to the design of variation-aware piezoelectric energy harvesters. With consistent focus on MEMS devices with tapered beam elements, this up-to-date monograph
