Dans les ténèbres rôdent les Kaijus, des monstres géants et mystérieux. Une seule entité se dresse devant eux : la Patrouille Scientifique Unie. Mais qui sont ces protecteurs énigmatiques, et comment accomplissent-ils leurs missions ? Shin Hayata et Kiki Fuji ont consacré la moitié de leur vie à le découvrir, et leur quête les a conduits vers un ancien secret et un guerrier insondable venu d'au-delà des étoiles ... Kyle Higgins (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), Mat Groom (Self/Made) et Francesco Manna (Avengers) réinventent la légende de la pop culture créée par Tsuburaya Productions. Les Ultra et les hommes vont devoir unir leurs forces pour sauver l'humanité.

Ultraman est parvenu de peu à éviter une catastrophe qui couvait depuis des décennies. Le monde a été sauvé, mais il ne sera plus jamais le même. Désormais, l'essentiel de la population regarde ses protecteurs avec suspicion. Pire encore, de nouveaux ennemis échafaudent leurs plans... Les forces qui s'opposent à la Patrouille Scientifique Unie et à Ultraman sont en outre bien plus grandes et mieux organisées que les héros ne le croyaient. S'ils veulent survivre, ils auront besoin d'un nouvel allié. L'homme auquel ils pensent se trouve être l'un des individus les plus puissants et influents de la planète. Mais quels sont ses liens avec la PSU ? Et n'aurait-il pas lui aussi ses propres projets secrets ? Kyle Higgins (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), Mat Groom (Self/Made) et Francesco Manna (Avengers) continuent de renouveler l'icône de la pop culture créée par Tsuburaya Productions.

Medical Decision Making

Medical Decision Making provides clinicians with a powerful framework for helping patients make decisions that increase the likelihood that they will have the outcomes that are most consistent with their preferences. This new edition provides a thorough understanding of the key decision making infrastructure of clinical practice and explains the principles of medical decision making both for individual patients and the wider health care arena. It shows how to make the best clinical decisions based on the available evidence and how to use clinical guidelines and decision support systems in electronic medical records to shape practice guidelines and policies. Medical Decision Making is a valuable resource for all experienced and learning clinicians who wish to fully understand and apply decision modelling, enhance their practice and improve patient outcomes. "There is little doubt that in the future many clinical analyses will be based on the methods described in Medical Decision Making, and the book provides a basis for a critical appraisal of such policies." - Jerome P. Kassirer M.D., Distinguished Professor, Tufts University School of Medicine, US and Visiting Professor, Stanford Medical School, US

Organic Bionics
Gordon G. Wallace, Robert M.I. Kapsa, Michael Higgins, Simon E. Moulton
- Wiley-vch
- 16 Avril 2012
- 9783527646050
The first reference on this emerging interdisciplinary research area at the interface between materials science and biomedicine is written
by pioneers in the field, who address the requirements, current status and future challenges. Focusing on inherently conducting polymers,
carbon nanotubes and graphene, they adopt a systematic approach, covering all relevant aspects and concepts: synthesis and fabrication,
properties, introduction of biological function, components of bionic devices and materials requirements. Established bionic devices, such as
the bionic ear are examined, as are emerging areas of application, including use of organic bionic materials as conduits for bone re-growth,
spinal cord injury repair and muscle regeneration. The whole is rounded off with a look at future prospects in sustainable energy generation and storage.
Invaluable reading for materials scientists, polymer chemists, electrotechnicians, chemists, biologists, and bioengineers. -

INTRODUCTION TO META-ANALYSIS - 2ND EDITION

- Wiley
- 20 Avril 2021
- 9781119558392
A clear and thorough introduction to meta-analysis, the process of synthesizing data from a series of separate studies The first edition of this text was widely acclaimed for the clarity of the presentation, and quickly established itself as the definitive text in this field. The fully updated second edition includes new and expanded content on avoiding common mistakes in meta-analysis, understanding heterogeneity in effects, publication bias, and more. Several brand-new chapters provide a systematic "how to" approach to performing and reporting a meta-analysis from start to finish. Written by four of the world's foremost authorities on all aspects of meta-analysis, the new edition: Outlines the role of meta-analysis in the research process Shows how to compute effects sizes and treatment effects Explains the fixed-effect and random-effects models for synthesizing data Demonstrates how to assess and interpret variation in effect size across studies Explains how to avoid common mistakes in meta-analysis Discusses controversies in meta-analysis Includes access to a companion website containing videos, spreadsheets, data files, free software for prediction intervals, and step-by-step instructions for performing analyses using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) Download videos, class materials, and worked examples at www.Introduction-to-Meta-Analysis.com "This book offers the reader a unified framework for thinking about meta-analysis, and then discusses all elements of the analysis within that framework. The authors address a series of common mistakes and explain how to avoid them. As the editor-in-chief of the American Psychologist and former editor of Psychological Bulletin, I can say without hesitation that the quality of manuscript submissions reporting meta-analyses would be vastly better if researchers read this book."
-Harris Cooper, Hugo L. Blomquist Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Neuroscience, Editor-in-chief of the American Psychologist, former editor of Psychological Bulletin "A superb combination of lucid prose and informative graphics, the authors provide a refreshing departure from cookbook approaches with their clear explanations of the what and why of meta-analysis. The book is ideal as a course textbook or for self-study. My students raved about the clarity of the explanations and examples."
-David Rindskopf, Distinguished Professor of Educational Psychology, City University of New York, Graduate School and University Center, & Editor of the Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics "The approach taken by Introduction to Meta-analysis is intended to be primarily conceptual, and it is amazingly successful at achieving that goal. The reader can comfortably skip the formulas and still understand their application and underlying motivation. For the more statistically sophisticated reader, the relevant formulas and worked examples provide a superb practical guide to performing a meta-analysis. The book provides an eclectic mix of examples from education, social science, biomedical studies, and even ecology. For anyone considering leading a course in meta-analysis, or pursuing self-directed study, Introduction to Meta-analysis would be a clear first choice."
