The Human Respiratory System combines emerging ideas from biology and mathematics to show the reader how to produce models for the development of biomedical engineering applications associated with the lungs and airways.

Alias|Wavefront's Maya 3D animation software is an integrated collection of tools for creating computer generated images, used in nearly every blockbuster special effects film that has been released in the last few years.

This book explores the relationship between the cardiopulmonary system and exercise, as affected by mode of exercise, health and age. Coverage includes exercise training principles and the cardiopulmonary effects of anaerobic, resistance and aerobic training.

Safety and Risk Modeling presents the latest theories and methods of safety and risk with an emphasis on safety and risk in modeling.

One of the main limitations of the precursors of today's biometrics, which is still present in the vast majority of the existing biometric systems, has been the need to keep the device in close contact with the subject to capture the biometric measurements.

With detailed coverage of a number of case studies, this book offers practical solutions for IT students in addition to medical database and software designers who want to use metadata to 'future-proof' computer systems and databases that are likely to grow.

It gives an exhaustive list of minimal repair models for the effective planning of minimal repair and maintenance actions.Written in an engaging style, Replacement Models with Minimal Repair balances complex mathematical models with practical applications.

In recognition of the evolving electronic health information environment and of interdisciplinary health care teams, the book is designed to be of interest to members of other health care professions (quality officers, administrators, etc.) as well as health information technology professionals (in health care facilities and in industry).

Based on contributions to the International Workshop on Machine Learning for Vision-Based Motion Analysis, this volume highlights the latest algorithms and systems for robust and effective vision-based motion understanding.

The purpose of this book is to be the premier resource for behavioural health clinicians who are considering adopting technology into their practice. Adoption of technology is slow in behavioural healthcare, and this book will enhance the adoption and utilization of various technologies in practice.

discusses discrete modeling, stochastic modeling, fuzzy modeling, dynamic pathway modeling, genetic regulatory network modeling, and quantitative analysis techniques;

Consumer electronics (CE) devices, providing multimedia entertainment and enabling communication, have become ubiquitous in daily life. discusses the features that characterize the new generation of CE and examines how web services can be integrated with CE products for improved user experience.

Advanced Control and Supervision of Mineral Processing Plants describes the use of dynamic models of mineral processing equipment in the design of control, data reconciliation and soft-sensing schemes;

Obsession with computational biology and theoretical approaches is evidenced in articles hailing the arrival of what are va- ously called quantitative biology, bioinformatics, theoretical biology, and systems biology.

The objects displayed on a table can take multiple forms. It is a logical consequence to avoid the detour and the inherent media break by transforming the surface of the table into a display able to show media that are active and can be computer-generated and computer-controlled.

In its revised fifth edition, this book covers ethical, social and policy challenges arising from the convergence of computing and telecommunication and the spread of mobile information devices. Asks important questions about the impact of new technologies.

Authors of the best papers and presentations from the conferences were invited to contribute to Research Learning in Virtual Worlds, the first book to specifically address research methods and related issues for education in virtual worlds.The book covers a range of research undertaken in virtual worlds.

This is the first comprehensive text on Optical Character Recognition for Indic scripts. It covers many topics and describes OCR systems for eight different scripts-Bangla, Devanagari, Gurmukhi, Gujarti, Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil and Urdu.

Saturation nonlinearities are ubiquitous in engineering systems: every physical actuator or sensor is subject to saturation owing to its maximum and minimum limits. Therefore, the practical application of control theory cannot avoid taking into account saturation nonlinearities in actuators, explicitly dealing with constraints in control design.

Written by specialists in teaching computer animation, this text addresses key international topics of computer animation, such as: mathematics, modelling, rendering, and compositing.

With case studies illustrating the use of sliding-mode methods in aeronautical systems, this is the first text setting out the latest developments in the field. It introduces the basic concepts before moving on to describe the applications of sliding modes.

This rigorous and practical introduction to nonlinear control design was written by the creators of the dynamic surface control algorithm. It discusses a range of problems including DSC design, output feedback, input saturation and fault-tolerant control.

The 15th International Workshop on Conceptual Structures ICCS 2007 brings together numerous discussions between international groups of researchers from the field of Information and Communications Technology (ICT).

It defines the Morse complex and the Morse homology, and develops some of their applications.Morse homology also serves a simple model for Floer homology, which is covered in the second part.

Fundamental individual construction materials are discussed and the process of reforming by products and waste products into new construction materials is investigated, examining the material performance, energy required to convert waste into new products and viability of recycling.
