Synopsis

The European Commission Series for General Practitioners traces its beginnings to the Europe Against Cancer Programme. The books in the series cover major cancer diseases and are written specifically for general practitioners in the European Community countries. The texts are prepared and edited by the European School of Oncology (ESO) for the Commission of the European Communities.
This book provides in concise form the information a general practitioner needs to know about colorectal cancer. Two important topics that are discussed are the changing trends in incidence and mortality, also in relation to dietary factors and possible preventive measures, and the screening for groups at high risk of developing colorectal cancer, including the most appropriate methods of high risk and population screening.
Also contained in this book are: a description of the diagnosis and investigation of symptomatic patients, a discussion of surgical treatment, including methods of clinical pathological staging, and a detailed view of adjuvant therapy and of the treatment of recurrent disease.

About this title

From the Back Cover

The use of geospatial technologies has become ubiquitous since the leading Internet vendors delivered a number of popular map websites. Today, businesses are either migrating location-specific capabilities into their information systems, or expanding existing Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) implementation into enterprise-wide solutions. As enterprise information systems evolve toward service-oriented architecture (SOA), geospatial technologies also evolve along the same lines.

Geospatial Services and Applications for the Internet covers a wide spectrum of techniques, algorithms and modeling methodologies that address the challenges in service-oriented architectural design for GIS, and intelligent processing for spatial queries. This book presents in-depth studies on performance improvement, data integration, service personalization and interoperation between geospatial services. These studies provide the reader with a wide spectrum of examples and case studies on the development of GIS for hydrological applications, electrical power supply applications, land usage and urban planning, and NASA’s Earth image datasets dissemination.

Geospatial Services and Applications for the Internet is designed for a professional audience composed of practitioners and researchers in industry.  This book is also suitable as a secondary text book or reference for advanced-level students in computer science and geosciences.
