La obra se extructura en dos grandes secciones. La Seccioón 1 (7 capítulos) aborda el desarrollo embrionario día a día, semana a semana y la Sección 2 (7 capítulos) trata el desarrollo pos sistemas. Cada uno de los capítulos se inicia con el planteamiento de un caso clínico. La obra cubre los más recientes avances en embriología, incluyendo la embriología normal y anómala, así como las causas de los defectos congénitos y el papel de los genes en el desarrollo humano. Tras la presentación del caso clínico, se plantean una serie de preguntas/reflexione... a partir del cual se "construye" el capítulo. Al final de cada uno de ellos, se plantea de nuevo un caso clínico a modo de "resultados de aprendizaje" en el que, de nuevo, se presentan una serie de preguntas. Sólo si el alumno sabe responderlas podrá asegurar que ha adquirido y comprendido los conceptos explicados en el capítulo. así como unas preguntas cortas de autoevaluación. A lo largo del capítulo se encuentran recuadros de conceptos pertenecientes a biología molecular. Incluye la versión electrónica en inglés, que permite acceder al texto, las figuras y las referencias bibliográficas del libro desde distintos dispositivos, así como a 18 animaciones y un banco de preguntas de autoevaluación.

  • The HAZOP Leader's Handbook

    • 1st Edition
    • Philip Eames
    • English
    The HAZOP Leader’s Handbook is designed specifically to help HAZOP leaders plan and execute successful HAZOP studies, based on the author’s many years of experience of participating in, observing and facilitating HAZOP studies, as well as observing, training, mentoring and assessing HAZOP leaders. The book assumes that the reader understands the methodology and has experienced HAZOP meetings and does not seek to explain the methodology itself. Rather, it focuses on the application of the methodology and the responsibilities and skills of the HAZOP leader in the preparation, execution and reporting of the study. Although the principal subject is HAZOP, much of the content equally applies to other facilitated hazard identification techniques such as Hazard Identification (HAZID) or Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA). The prime purpose of this book is to provide guidance specific to HAZOP leaders to help them to maximise the effectiveness of their HAZOP studies, thereby getting the most benefit from the methodology, promoting consistency and rigour in its application and sustaining its well-earned reputation.
