Bücher der Reihe Human Factors and Ergonomics

Covering every aspect of the process, this book introduces the design, development, manufacturing, and marketing of footwear. It also presents a comprehensive discussion of how the footwear industry attempts to cater to the wide needs of sophisticated and demanding customers. The text provides a basic understanding of the technology and techniques involved in the design and development of a popular and demanding consumer product. Topics include the measurement and testing process, foot and footwear interaction, mass customization, the manufacturing process, and the marketing process. The author also addresses the latest trends in footwear technology.

Presents comprehensive coverage of data mining concepts and techniques. This work presents various data mining methodologies, concepts, and available software tools for each methodology. It addresses various issues typically faced in the management of data mining projects and tips on how to maximize outcome utility.

Written for students and professionals, this book is a complete reference on human factors and ergonomics research, concepts, theories, models, methods, and interventions that have been or can be applied in health care. Topics such as medical technology and telemedicine are covered, and special emphasis is put on the contributions of human factors and ergonomics to the improvement of patient safety and quality of care. Nine chapters from the original edition were deleted, and information from them was incorporated into other chapters. Furthermore, this second edition offers 17 new chapters.

This macroergonomics book is concerned with the analysis, design and evaluation of work systems. The goal of macroergonomics is to optimize the work design, organization and performance.

With an updated edition including new material in additional chapters, this one-of-a-kind handbook covers not only current standardization efforts, but also anthropometry and optimal working postures, ergonomic human computer interactions, legal protection, occupational health and safety, and military human factor principles.

Occupational safety and health - safe work in a safe environment. The challenge, of course, is how to make this happen and make it happen economically. This book provides a range of methods along with specific criteria for assessing hazard and exposure in the workplace environment.

Deals with the issues of Universal Design and Universal Access in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). This book introduces students to the human-, organizational-, and technology-oriented dimensions that call for a departure from traditional approaches to user interface development.

While there have been tremendous advances in our scientific understanding of the brain, this work has been largely academic, and often oriented toward clinical publication. This book addresses the relationship between neurophysiological processes and the performance and experience of humans in everyday life. It samples the vast neuroscience literature to identify those areas of research that speak directly to the performance and experience of humans in everyday settings. The book explains the underlying basis for well-established principles from Human Factors, Ergonomics, and Industrial Engineering and Design.

Even with today's mobile technology, most work is still undertaken in a physical workplace. Today's workplaces need to be healthy environments that minimize the risks of illnesses or injuries to occupants. They also need to be productive settings that facilitate work performance to enable organizations to complete in the marketplace. This book focuses on the application of good ergonomic design principles to the creation of effective workplaces.

This book covers how populations of different ages use informtion technologies, the evolving abilities of children, their differences from adults cognitively and physically, usability testing, and design recommendations for genres of computer technology. It discusses development of methodologies for designers of systems to support people with cognitive impairment. Highlighting the challenges associated with designing for uses with physical impairments, the book examines HCI issues associated with information systems used by consumers, patients, and providers as well as future opportunities and challenges for HCI in healthcare.

This book will be useful to those interested in providing a better understanding of how ergonomics is applied to product design. It will have 30 chapters touching on several different areas including conceptual aspects of ergonomics in design, the knowledge of human characteristics applied to design, and methodological aspects of design.

One of the primary applications of human factors engineering is in the aviation domain, and the importance of human factors has never been greater as U.S. and European authorities seek to modernize the air transportation system through the introduction of advanced automation.

Cross Cultural Decision Making seeks to understand the impact that a variety of influences including geographical, historical, sociological, organizational, team, and technology have on an individual's decision making processes. This book proposes to explore how advances in information and social media technologies, as well as modeling and simul

New technologies have enabled us to collect massive amounts of data in many fields. However, our pace of discovering useful information and knowledge from these data falls far behind our pace of collecting the data. Data Mining: Theories, Algorithms, and Examples introduces and explains a comprehensive set of data mining algorithms from various data mining fields. The book reviews theoretical rationales and procedural details of data mining algorithms, including those commonly found in the literature and those presenting considerable difficulty, using small data examples to explain and walk through the algorithms. The book covers a wide range of data mining algorithms, including those commonly found in data mining literature and those not fully covered in most of existing literature due to their considerable difficulty. The book presents a list of software packages that support the data mining algorithms, applications of the data mining algorithms with references, and exercises, along with the solutions manual and PowerPoint slides of lectures. The author takes a practical approach to data mining algorithms so that the data patterns produced can be fully interpreted. This approach enables students to understand theoretical and operational aspects of data mining algorithms and to manually execute the algorithms for a thorough understanding of the data patterns produced by them.
