Book excerpt: Bubble Catcher Silhouettes of Smoke Show-Biz Screenplay Follows Two Small-town Girls Chasing Big-city Dreams NEW YORK – Two young sisters from Iowa embark on their lifelong dream to become actresses in New York City in Lawrence J. Corneck’s enthralling new screenplay, Bubble Catcher. But their aspirations change dramatically when they meet and team up with an Eastern-European mobster, Armond, in a story that challenges the lengths we’re willing to go – and those we’re willing to betray – for fame, money and power. Ardelle and her sister Tiffany have always been flung into competition with one another, ever since their mother played a disturbing game to determine which daughter she would raise and which one she would send off to an orphanage. Though Ardelle was given away, Tiffany still remained close to her and over time they cemented their bond, relying on one another for strength and support and finally chasing their shared dream of becoming real actresses all the way to the mean streets of New York. But New York has other plans for the two sisters as small-time mobster, Armond, latches onto Ardelle who quickly takes on the persona of Neptune, a rising starlet of the stage. Tiffany is otherwise shunned by her sister and Armond, Ardelle’s self-proclaimed agent who utilizes his fists to make things happen for Ardelle. But Tiffany finds an ally in Tan, Armond's hulking enemy. The four then vie for a role in producer Garrity Desmond’s new production. Cutthroat competition and a desperate need for fame and fortune tear at these characters, driving them to extremes of success and failure. Will their greed and betrayal take its final toll? Find out in the well-paced, riveting pages of Bubble Catcher.

This book was released on 2008-01-22 with total page 1522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Completely revised edition of a global resource first published in 1978 and previously revised in 1989. Sixty-three contributions are arranged in sections on the pathophysiology of the uremic syndrome--principles and biophysics of dialysis; technology of dialysis and associated methods; quantification and prescription; complications; pharmacological considerations; special clinical situations; organ system and metabolic complications; and organization and results of chronic dialysis. The aim is to give understanding of the complexities of modern dialysis apparatus so that practitioners can make the best use of the technology--and so that fledgling nephrologists can avoid the temptation to by-pass the theory and the nuances.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history and outlook On-line HDF represents a major technical development in the delivery of hemodialysis therapy: It combines the properties of increased diffusion available in current high-flux membranes with convective removal of between 6 and 30 liters per treatment and requires the use of ultrapure water and online filtration of replacement fluid. On-line HDF has been successfully introduced in Europe and Asia and is routinely prescribed for dialysis patients in these regions. The book at hand summarizes the history and achievements of on-line HDF in four parts: A report of the technological development in both machine and fiber/dialyzer is followed by a description of the challenges encountered in the evolution of on-line HDF, collecting the accounts of clinical key opinion leaders who had been involved in its early application. The third part presents a comprehensive review of the clinical results achieved with on-line HDF from its inception to the present times, in which it represents the clinical golden standard. The fourth and final part is dedicated to on-line HDF as a vision' for the future.

Download or read book The Reptile Ear written by Ernest Glen Wever and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-29 with total page 1038 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this definitive work, Ernest Glen Wever establishes the evolutionary importance of the reptile ear as the origin of the higher type of auditory apparatus shared by man and the mammals. Tracing the development of the auditory receptor in the living reptiles, he examines the use of a variety of mechanisms and principles of action by that receptor. While some of the material in this book has appeared previously in journal articles, most of it is presented here for the first time. Basing this study on his twenty years of research at Princeton's Auditory Research Laboratories, Professor Wever treats in anatomical and functional detail the auditory mechanism in about 250 species and subspecies of reptiles. The anatomical treatment rests on dissections and histological examinations of the ears in serial section, and portrays the relevant features in drawings that represent particular views of reconstructions. The author evaluates the performance of thesse ears electrophysiologically, in terms of the electrical potentials of the cochlea, paying particular attention to problems of the transmission of vibrations inward to the cochlea and the actions there in stimulating the sensory cells. Professor Wever finds that the cochlea emerged independently from the non-auditory labyrinth in three different vertebrate groups: fishes, amphibians, and reptiles. It was among the reptiles, however, that the vertebrate ear took on a more advanced configuration from which it further evolved along separate lineages in the birds and mammals. Ernest Glen Wever is Eugene Higgins Professor of Psychology Emeritus at Princeton University. Originally published in 1978. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a boy raised up in a village in Poland during World War II, with his father deported to concentration camps throughout the war.

So, when a he gets caught up in a bust at the diner, it seems like the Golden Goose has arrived; that is until Edwin and Bongo launch a plan to steal a priceless painting from a safe in the home of a sex-crazed octogenarian gangster carrying on an affair with a bipolar scamming Russian waitress working for an entrepreneurial thug.
