This clinical manual discusses the treatment of 201 diseases with Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture. These diseases span such TCM specialties as internal medicine, surgery, gynaecology, paediatrics, dermatology and otorhinolaryngology. The text also discusses aetiology and pathogenesis, but the emphasis is laid on key points in diagnosis, differentiation of syndrome and treatment, particularly with herbal medicine.

The mathematical techniques and models used in the forecasting of financial markets grow ever more sophisticated - as books, traders, analysts and investors seek to gain an edge on their competitors. This text focuses on the issue of non-linear modelling of high frequency financial data. Non-linearity refers to situations in which there is a high degree of apparent randomness to the way in which a particular financial measure, price, interest rate, or exchange rate moves with time.

Control of disinfection by-products (DBPs) in drinking water is becoming increasingly critical as regulatory requirements are calling for higher levels of disinfection while at the same time mandating lower maximum contaminant levels of DBPs. Many utilities have switched to alternative disinfectants such as ozone and chlorine dioxide (ClO2) to minimize chlorinated DBPs. Contra Costa Water District undertook a full-scale demonstration study using ClO2 and ozone to evaluate the potential benefits of combining these two powerful oxidants. The principal research objective, stated broadly, was to...

Timber availability, aboveground tree biomass, and changes in aboveground carbon pools are important consequences of landscape management. There are several models available for calculating tree volume and aboveground tree biomass pools. This paper documents species-specific regional equations for tree volume and aboveground live tree biomass estimation that might be used to examine consequences of midscale landscape management in the Pacific Northwest. These regional equations were applied to a landscape in the upper Deschutes study area in central Oregon. We demonstrate an analysis of the...
