Data stewards in any organization are the backbone of a successful data governance implementation because they do the work to make data trusted, dependable, and high quality. Since the publication of the first edition, there have been critical new developments in the field, such as integrating Data Stewardship into project management, handling Data Stewardship in large international companies, handling "big data" and Data Lakes, and a pivot in the overall thinking around the best way to align data stewardship to the datämoving from business/organizational function to data domain. Furthermore, the role of process in data stewardship is now recognized as key and needed to be covered.Data Stewardship, Second Edition provides clear and concise practical advice on implementing and running data stewardship, including guidelines on how to organize based on organizational/company structure, business functions, and data ownership. The book shows data managers how to gain support for a stewardship effort, maintain that support over the long-term, and measure the success of the data stewardship effort. It includes detailed lists of responsibilities for each type of data steward and strategies to help the Data Governance Program Office work effectively with the data stewards.

Geophysical Data Analysis and Inverse Theory with MATLAB or Python, Fifth Edition is a revised and expanded introduction to inverse theory and tomography as it is practiced by geophysicists. The book demonstrates the methods needed to analyze a broad spectrum of geophysical datasets, with special attention given to those methods that generate images of the earth. Data analysis can be a mathematically complex activity, but the treatment in this volume is carefully designed to emphasize those mathematical techniques that readers will find the most familiar and to systematically introduce less-familiar ones. A series of "crib sheets" offer step-by-step summaries of methods presented. Utilizing problems and case studies, along with MATLAB and Python computer code and summaries of methods, the book provides professional geophysicists, students, data scientists and engineers in geophysics with the tools necessary to understand and apply mathematical techniques and inverse theory.

Dysphagia: A Clinical Guide will help practitioners and surgeons learn and understand how best to diagnose and treat dysphagia. It provides a complete picture of dysphagia through the experiences of leaders who cover the latest techniques and evidence-based outcomes in the field. Coverage includes recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease processes that cause dysphagia, gastric problems, and surgical intervention. The book includes the latest research and perspectives from both gastroenterologists and surgeons to enable clinicians to stay up-to-date on the most current and effective management strategies. Each chapter provides summary statements and recommendations based on recent literature. Recent discoveries regarding the diagnosis and management of dysphagia are exemplified by illustrations of both diagnostic methods and descriptions of interventional techniques. This an important reference for general surgeons, general practitioners, and ENT surgeons while also bringing new data dedicated specifically to gastroenterologists and foregut surgeons.

Immunology of Endometriosis: Etiology and Management, a volume in the Reproductive Immunology series, provides updates on one of most common gynecological diseases, including basic science concepts and their clinical applications related to endometriosis immunology. Various immunological factors are believed to play roles in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, providing potential targets for the disease. Endometriosis is now considered to be a disease of both endocrine and immune dysregulation. However, recognition of the direct involvement of two major physiological mechanisms brings about a change of focus which might represent an interesting advance in the understanding of this disease and new focus for further research.

The wind tunnel itself is an instrument that involves the use of proper experimental techniques for best use. Wind tunnel testing without the use of proper experimental techniques can lead researchers and designers to draw inaccurate conclusions. Wind Tunnel Test Techniques: Design and Use of Low- and High-Speed Wind Tunnels provides an up-to-date, comprehensive treatment of the subject matter. Beginning with a brief history of wind tunnels along with the types and uses, the book goes on to cover subsonic, supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnel design and construction; calibration; boundary corrections; flow quality assessment; pressure surveys; and dynamic testing. The book also focuses on wind tunnel facilities which is useful for the designer and operator. Engineers and graduate students in aerospace, automotive and similar programs will find this book useful in their work with experimental aerodynamics, gas dynamics, facility design and performance. Deals with all the range of flow speed in wind tunnels from low speed to high speedProvides a discussion of similarity laws as well as material on statistical analysisIncludes coverage on facility-to-facility and facility-to-CFD correlationPresents advanced topics such as cryogenic wind tunnels, ground simulation in automotive testing, and propulsion testing

Provides an account of the nonlinear phenomena occurring inside optical fibers, the basis of all our telecommunications infrastructure as well as being used in the medical field.

GPCRS: Structure, Function, and Drug Discovery provides a comprehensive overview of recent discoveries and our current understanding of GPCR structure, signaling, physiology, pharmacology and methods of study. In addition to the fundamental aspects of GPCR function and dynamics, international experts discuss crystal structures, GPCR complexes with partner proteins, GPCR allosteric modulation, biased signaling through protein partners, deorphanization of GPCRs, and novel GPCR-targeting ligands that could lead to the development of new therapeutics against human diseases. GPCR association with, and possible therapeutic pathways for, retinal degenerative diseases, Alzheimer''s disease, Parkinson''s disease, cancer and diabetic nephropathy, among other illnesses, are examined in-depth. Addresses our current understanding and novel advances in the GPCR field, directing readers towards recent finding of key significance for translational medicineCombines a thorough discussion of structure and function of GPCRs with disease association and drug discoveryFeatures chapter contributions from international experts in GPCR structure, signaling, physiology and pharmacology
