Book Description
Sam would describe himself as any awkward and ordinary teenager simply trying to finish high school and get on with life. His tame (ie, boring) lifestyle and dilemmas over post-graduation skid to a halt when he meets Samuel. A strange, but unassuming boy with sarcastic wit and a taste for the more exciting side of life. As their friendship blooms from a lunchtime arrangement into something more, Sam starts to remember what he’d been missing from life: actually enjoying it. However, their passions are put to the test when Samuel’s secrets become unveiled. Love conquers all, right?

Book Description
Individual objects have potentials: paper has the potential to burn, an acorn has the potential to turn into a tree, some people have the potential to run a mile in less than four minutes. Barbara Vetter provides a systematic investigation into the metaphysics of such potentials, and an account of metaphysical modality based on them. In contemporary philosophy, potentials have been recognized mostly in the form of so-called dispositions: solubility, fragility, and so on. Vetter takes dispositions as her starting point, but argues for and develops a more comprehensive conception of potentiality. She shows how, with this more comprehensive conception, an account of metaphysical modality can be given that meets three crucial requirements: (1) Extensional correctness: providing the right truth-values for statements of possibility and necessity; (2) formal adequacy: providing the right logic for metaphysical modality; and (3) semantic utility: providing a semantics that links ordinary modal language to the metaphysics of modality. The resulting view of modality is a version of dispositionalism about modality: it takes modality to be a matter of the dispositions of individual objects (and, crucially, not of possible worlds). This approach has a long philosophical tradition going back to Aristotle, but has been largely neglected in contemporary philosophy. In recent years, it has become a live option again due to the rise of anti-Humean, powers-based metaphysics. The aim of Potentiality and Possibility is to develop the dispositionalist view in a way that takes account of contemporary developments in metaphysics, logic, and semantics.

Book Description
This practical manual delivers clinically relevant and updated concepts as per the Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) curriculum. - This student-friendly practical manual has an observation table column at the end of most of the chapters. - Competencies with specific learning objectives (SLOs) are mentioned at the start of each chapter. - The CBME curriculum mandates the skill certification of competencies in the log book. By using this practical manual, students can directly fill their responses, in the predrawn tables. Thus, the practical hours can be completely used for developing psychomotor skills and skill certification. - Full-colour photos, labelled diagrams, and illustrations will help to precisely understand and perform the procedural steps in clinical examination. - Clinical scenarios/charts/graphs/calculations were given in the last few chapters. - Discussion questions with answers will be useful for the students to score more during the practical viva voice - Examples of practical OSCE were provided at the end of most of the chapters. - Amphibian and Mammalian experiments with graphs were provided for postgraduate students. - This book will be useful to MBBS, MD and MSC physiology students, dental, paramedical, and allied health science students.

Book Description
The Eighth International Conference on Miniaturized Systems in Chemistry and Life Science - B5Tas 2004 - is an annual meeting focusing on the research, development and application of miniaturized technologies and methodologies in chemistry and life science. The conference is celebrating its tenth anniversary after the first workshop at the University of Twente, The Netherlands in 1994. This research field is rapidly developing and changing towards a domain where core competence areas such as microfluidics, micro- and nanotechnology, materials science, chemistry, biology, and medicine are melting together to a truly interdisciplinary meeting place. This volume is the first in a two volume set, a valuable reference collection to all working in this field.
