Offers perspectives on the origins and development of language disorders. It addresses the question: how can the child's linguistic environment be restructured so that children at risk can develop important adaptive skills in the domains of self-care, social interaction and problem-solving?

A compilation of modern decision-making techniques, this reference focuses on the fuzzy set approach to multiple attribute decision making (MADM). Drawing on their extensive experience, the authors present methods and real-life applications of MADM techniques that can be used in decision analysis. The methods section of the text explains the theory of each method and includes numerical examples that can be calculated without a computer, providing a complete understanding of the procedures. The application section explores how methods such as DEMATEL, TOPSIS, and VIKOR can be used to solve real-world MADM problems.

"With coverage ranging from the influence of professional identity in medicine and problematic nature of "human error," to the psychological and social features that characterize healthcare work, to the safety-critical aspects of interfaces and automation, this book spans the width of the human factors field and its importance for patient safety today. In addition, the book discusses topics such as accountability, just culture, and secondary victimization in the aftermath of adverse events and takes readers to the leading edge of human factors research today: complexity, systems thinking and resilience"--Provided by publisher.

The third edition of this popular reference covers a variety of techniques related to gene manipulation, including DNA isolation, preparation, screening, and analysis. Topics range from very basic methods to current and sophisticated technologies, including methodologies created and tested by the authors. The authors offer detailed, step-by-step explanations of protocols and helpful troubleshooting guides. The book also discusses approaches to grant funding and SiRNA technology. This edition features new techniques in every chapter, as well as several new chapters.

"Linking methodologies in engineering, medicine, biology, and physics, this reference clearly defines basic principles in image processing and biomechanics, the modeling of physiological processes, and bioelectric signal analysis for a solid understanding of devices and designs for improved functioning of the human body-including cutting-edge discussions of tissue engineering applications such as skin equivalents, cardiovascular components, bone regrowth, muscle tissue, and the regeneration of nerves. The author also discusses technologies at the forefront of cardiac care including total artificial hearts, left ventricular assist devices, defibrillators, pacemakers, and stents, as well as issues related to minimally invasive and robotic surgery, next-generation imaging devices, nanomotors, and nanodevices"--Provided by publisher.

Every day we interact with thousands of consumer products. We not only expect them to perform their functions safely, reliably, and efficiently, but also to do it so seamlessly that we donΓÇÖt even think about it. However, with the many factors involved in consumer product design, from the application of human factors and ergonomics principles to reducing risks of malfunction and the total life cycle cost, well, the process just seems to get more complex. Edited by well-known and well-respected experts, the two-volumes of Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics in Consumer Product Design simplify this process.The second volume, Human Factors and Ergonomics in Consumer Product Design: Uses and Applications, discusses challenges and opportunities in the design for product safety and focuses on the critical aspects of human-centered design for usability. The book contains 14 carefully selected case studies that demonstrate application of a variety of innovative approaches that incorporate Human Factor and Ergonomics (HF/E) principles, standards, and best practices of user-centered design, cognitive psychology, participatory macro-ergonomics, and mathematical modeling. These case studies also identify many unique aspects of new product development projects, which have adopted a user-centered design paradigm as a way to attend to user requirements.The case studies illustrate how incorporating HF/E principles and knowledge in the design of consumer products can improve levels of user satisfaction, efficiency of use, increase comfort, and assure safety under normal use as well as foreseeable misuse of the product. The book provides a comprehensive source of information regarding new methods, techniques, and software applications for consumer product design.

Makers of 20th-Century Modern Architecture is a reference book for the scholar, student, architect or layman interested in the architects who initiated, developed or advanced modern architecture.

Physicians are not alone in their concern with stress

War gaming has become a characteristic feature of modern life

When originally released, Frank Hyneman Knight's The Economic Organization revitalized the teaching of economic theory in America during the 1930s, laying the foundation for the price theory revolution led by economists emerging from Knight's circle at The University of Chicago

Helps researchers understand the theory of the design of experiments so they can easily adapt general principles to their specialties. This book brings the theory to non-statisticians at a reasonable mathematical level so that they can apply and adapt the special designs.

Inverse boundary problems are an area of applied mathematics with applications throughout physics and the engineering sciences. This book considers the following: Can the unknown coefficients of an elliptic partial differential equation be determined from the eigen values and the boundary values of the eigen functions?

Liquid crystal polymers are sometimes called super polymers - with good reason. Their wide range of exceptional properties and ease of processing make them design candidates for many demanding applications. This book reviews LCP technology with the emphasis on the chemistry, synthesis and characterization of the material in its many variants.
