This would allow prospective candidates to have a rapid review of topics, taking revision pressure off in the face of busy clinical schedule. Medical students in their Internal/Acute Medicine rotation or revising for Finals may also find this book helpful.

As the world grapples with the urgent need for sustainable energy solutions, the limitations of traditional approaches to renewable energy forecasting become increasingly evident. The demand for more accurate predictions in net load forecasting, line loss predictions, and the seamless integration of hybrid solar and battery storage systems is more critical than ever. In response to this challenge, advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques are emerging as a solution, promising to revolutionize the renewable energy landscape. Machine Learning and Computer Vision for Renewable Energy presents a deep exploration of AI modeling, analysis, performance prediction, and control approaches dedicated to overcoming the pressing issues in renewable energy systems. Transitioning from the complexities of energy prediction to the promise of advanced technology, the book sets its sights on the game-changing potential of computer vision (CV) in the realm of renewable energy. Amidst the struggle to enhance sustainability across industries, CV technology emerges as a powerful ally, collecting invaluable data from digital photos and videos. This data proves instrumental in achieving better energy management, predicting factors affecting renewable energy, and optimizing overall sustainability. Readers, including researchers, academicians, and students, will find themselves immersed in a comprehensive understanding of the AI approaches and CV methodologies that hold the key to resolving the challenges faced by renewable energy systems.

A comprehensive collection of perspectives by experts in mycobacterial molecular biology Mycobacterium tuberculosis causes one in four avoidable deaths in the developing world and kills more adults than malaria, AIDS, and all tropical diseases combined. Tuberculosis was named a global health emergency by the World Health Organization, a distinction no other disease has received. Although the study of mycobacterial genetics has expanded dramatically, with new investigations into mycobacterial growth, replication, metabolism, physiology, drug susceptibility, and virulence, most of the problems in tuberculosis control that existed in 2000 remain today. Advances in our understanding of mycobacterial genetics have been reflected in exciting recent developments. New diagnostic approaches can identify drug resistance within a few hours, promising new drugs are progressing through the pipeline and into the clinic, and a range of newly developed vaccines are being evaluated. It is an exciting time as the fruits of 30 years of intensive genetic investigation are finally beginning to emerge. Written by leading experts in the field, Molecular Genetics of Mycobacteria, Second Edition, Discusses key areas of current research in mycobacterial genetics Explains the genetics of the physiology, metabolism, and drug sensitivities of M. tuberculosis Presents genetic approaches for manipulating M. tuberculosis This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the molecular genetics and molecular biology of mycobacteria.
