Durant ces dernières années, l'utilisation de l'échocardiographie Doppler s'est généralisée en réanimation et en anesthésie, et ce pour de multiples raisons. – Le nombre de réanimateurs et d'anesthésistes-réanimateurs qui se sont formés à cette technique et le nombre de publications scientifiques qui s'y rapportent ont augmenté de manière exponentielle. – Le domaine de compétence spécifique aux réanimateurs et aux anesthésistes-réanimateurs s'est progressivement précisé et imposé de lui-mê...

My effort to piece together my first thirteen years was not easy: I did not keep a diary, my memory of my mother who died when I was twelve years old has largely faded, and I do not recall ever speaking to my father about his past or about our life together during this period. I have done the best I could through extensive research and discussions with persons familiar with the period I am covering. As a result, I have been able to put together a pretty good overview of my life during this...

Mechanical behaviors of materials are highly influenced by their architectures and/or microstructures. Hence, progress in material science involves understanding and modeling the link between the microstructure and the material behavior at different scales. This book gathers contributions from eminent researchers in the field of computational and experimental material modeling. It presents advanced experimental techniques to acquire the microstructure features together with dedicated numer...
