The brief will describe how to develop a risk analysis applied to a project , through a sequence of steps: risk management planning, risk identification, risk classification, risk assessment, risk quantification, risk response planning, risk monitoring and control, process close out and lessons learning.

This book proposes a simple method for reading neonatal and pediatric ECGs which permits immediate recognition of normal and pathological patterns. Includes some 150 ECGs displaying both normal and pathologic findings, all analyzed using the proposed method.

Continuous update in critical care medicine is a real challenge due to the growing dimensions of its contents; these elements are the result of new research acquisitions, and of those clinical situations where the physician is able to intervene at a given moment, with the use of effective prevention techniques.

These articles on dynamics, control and simulation of chemical processes cover methods for approaching process dynamics and control, including bifurcation analysis, computational fluid dynamics, neural network applications, numerical simulations of partial differential equations and more.

Rheumatic inflammatory diseases represent a steadily increasing group of disorders that have considerable social impact through affected patients' worsening quality of life and require engagement in the health field.

This variant, often in the guise of a chronic progressive myelopathy or, less commonly, progressive cerebellar or bulbar dysfunction, usually responds poorly to corticosteroids and rarely seems to benefit to a significant degree from intensive immunosuppressive treatments.

In the USA, 5 to 10% of cases of hip osteoarthritis requiring total hip replacement are primarily caused by AVN. There is therefore increasing interest in hip joint preserving techniques such as conservative treatment through electromagnetic fields and shockwaves as well as joint preserving surgical techniques.

There is now evidence that irreversible brain damage accumulates very early in the course of multiple sclerosis. These findings provide the rationale for early treatment and emphasize the importance of clinical trials in early multiple sclerosis.

This volume reflects the present state of the study of the Mediterranean as carried out by the Italian scientific community. The multidisciplinary character of the papers creates different "transversal" reading and clustering possibilities that the informed reader is free to design and undertake autonomously.

This book, dedicated to the memory of Gian-Carlo Rota, is the result of a collaborative effort by his friends, students and admirers. The book opens with a heartfelt piece by Henry Crapo in which he meticulously pieces together what Gian-Carlo Rota's untimely demise has bequeathed to science.

With its highlight on the most recent discoveries in the field of molecular genetics as well as on the correct clinical approach to patients with heart muscle disease, the book is aimed at physicians and clinical cardiologists with a particular interest in myocardial diseases and in their genetic causes.

Economics of private equity (PE). Normative framework providing guidelines on how their entrepreneurial model (governance, gearing, growth) would be favourably influenced by conventional PE actions. Policy recommendations on how to expedite PE ownership expansion in Italy and other European countries.

This book explores several aspects of fractional Brownian motion, including the stochastic integration, the study of its supremum and its appearance as limit of partial sums involving stationary sequences.

This book book explores the ways that elaborate flux functions can be constructed, mainly in a one-dimensional context for hyperbolic systems admitting shock-type solutions and also for kinetic equations in the discrete-ordinate approximation.

Viene presentata in questo testo una visione rigorosamente scientifica del food packaging; un approccio multidisciplinare alla conoscenza dei materiali e delle tecniche di confezionamento per i prodotti agroalimentari, per consentire di comprendere appieno tutte le problematiche di settore ed approntare le migliori soluzioni oggi possibili.

This book details topics of particular importance to critical care cardiovascular diagnosis and management in the perioperative period.

The use of computational methods in statistics to face complex problems and highly dimensional data, as well as the widespread availability of computer technology, is no news.

The aim of the handbook is to provide a practical guide for residents and general radiologists, organized alphabetically, primarily according to disease or condition.

This book covers the full range of relevant conditions: inherited skin disorders; nevi; viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections; acne; allergic diseases; autoimmune skin disorders; connective tissue diseases; tumors; and miscellaneous conditions.

This book illustrates the wide range of research subjects developed by the Italian research group in harmonic analysis, originally started by Alessandro Figa-Talamanca, to whom it is dedicated in the occasion of his retirement.

The real options-based conceptual framework for alliance-making presented here responds to the challenge of developing a new metrics for managing strategic partnerships in the face of uncertainty.

The book introduces methods and tools adopted by the critical systems industry, and surveys key achievements of the CRITICAL STEP project along four directions: fault injection tools, V&V of critical systems, runtime monitoring and evaluation techniques, and security assessment.

In addition to examining the various minimally invasive options, including the latest techniques, careful attention is paid to the role of medical treatment in avoiding recurrence after initial therapy.

The objective of this Workshop is to confront models, methods and tools developed within the projects with the ongoing research worldwide and to provide an environment for fruitful exchange of ideas. Human Errors and Risk Assessment in design processes of assistance systems.

In particular, the majority of industrial experiments have two goals: * To quantify the dependence of one or more observable response variables on a group of input factors in the design or the manufacturing of a product, in order to forecast the behavior of the system in a reliable way.

Leon Ehrenpreis has been one of the leading mathematicians in the twentieth century. His contributions to the theory of partial differential equations were part of the golden era of PDEs, and led him to what is maybe his most important contribution, the Fundamental Principle, which he announced in 1960, and fully demonstrated in 1970.
