Toxicology Biological Monitoring of Metals in Humans

Toxicology Biological Monitoring of Metals in Humans

As one of many tasks of an analytical chemistry program sponsored by the office of Pesticides and Toxic Substances Field Studies Branch U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (EPA Prime Contract No. 68-02-3938) Midwest Research Institute (MRI) prepared these summaries of the mammalian toxicology of 52 individual elements (metals and metalloids) and the lanthanides (rare earth elements). MRI is assisting the EPA in developing protocols for the monitoring of selected metals and organic compounds in the blood of the general U. S. population. The monitoring will enable evaluation of changes in the blood levels over time and any trends associated with instituted control measures. This review will help EPA select the metals to be included in the monitoring effort based on toxicity relative exposure and the ability of blood measurements to reflect exposure. | Toxicology Biological Monitoring of Metals in Humans

Design of Electrical Transmission Lines Structures and Foundations

Design of Electrical Transmission Lines Structures and Foundations

This book covers structural and foundation systems used in high-voltage transmission lines conductors insulators hardware and component assembly. In most developing countries the term “transmission structures” usually means lattice steel towers. The term actually includes a vast range of structural systems and configurations of various materials such as wood steel concrete and composites. This book discusses those systems along with associated topics such as structure functions and configurations load cases for design analysis techniques structure and foundation modeling design deliverables and latest advances in the field. In the foundations section theories related to direct embedment drilled shaf ts spread foundations and anchors are discussed in detail. Featuring worked out design problems for students the book is aimed at students practicing engineers researchers and academics. It contains beneficial information for those involved in the design and maintenance of transmission line structures and foundations. For those in academia it will be an adequate text-book / design guide for graduate-level courses on the topic. Engineers and managers at utilities and electrical corporations will find the book a useful reference at work. | Design of Electrical Transmission Lines Structures and Foundations

The Anti-Oedipus Complex Lacan Critical Theory and Postmodernism

The Anti-Oedipus Complex Lacan Critical Theory and Postmodernism

The Anti-Oedipus Complex critically explores the post-‘68 dramatic developments in Freudo-Lacanian psychoanalysis and cultural theory. Beginning with the decline of patriarchy and the master exemplified by Freud’s paean for the Father the revolutionary path was blown wide open by anti-psychiatry schizoanalysis and radical politics the complex antinomies of which are traced here in detail with the help of philosophers such as Nietzsche Baudrillard Levinas Steiner Žižek Badiou Derrida and Girard as well as theologians analysts writers musicians and film makers. In this book Rob Weatherill starting from the clinic considers the end of hierarchies the loss of the Other new subjectivities so-called ‘creative destruction’ the power of negative thinking revolutionary action divine violence and new forms of extreme control. Where does this leave the psychoanalytic clinic – adrift in postmodern indifference? Does the engagement of the Radical Orthodoxy movement offer some hope? Or should we re-situate psychoanalysis within a ‘genealogy of responsibility’ (Patočka / Derrida) as it emerges out of the sacred demonic via Plato and Christianity? The Anti-Oedipus Complex will be of interest to psychoanalysts psychotherapists counsellors social workers and scholars in critical theory philosophy cultural theory literary theory and theology. | The Anti-Oedipus Complex Lacan Critical Theory and Postmodernism
