Hardback. Condizione: Good. In recent years, among numerous advanced composite materials, non-homogeneous materials, such as functionally graded materials and laminated media, have received considerable attention in the field of structural design subjected to external thermo-electro-mechanical loads. Such non-homogeneous materials are composed of two or more materials of different properties or functions. The gradual change of properties can be tailored to different applications and service environments. It is possible with these materials to obtain a combination of properties that cannot be achieved in conventional monolithic materials. A typical example of non-homogeneous materials is the composites fabricated by combining piezoelectric ceramics with other materials. Such non-homogeneous materials are usually used for constructions of intelligent systems. The thermo-electro-mechanical properties of these advanced materials change with spatial positions. The knowledge of fracture behaviour of non-homogeneous materials is important in order to evaluate their structural integrity. A key feature of fracture which distinguishes non-homogeneous materials from homogeneous materials is that the resistance of the former to fracture and damage tolerance varies spatially. Consequently, analyses of fracture in non-homogeneous materials are considerably more complex than in the corresponding homogeneous case of the same specimen and crack geometry subjected to the same loading conditions. Associated complications involving spatially varying material constants have demanded the re-examination of the elastic crack problem. This book brings together the diverse achievements in the field.…

Hardback. Condizione: Fair. The culprit for deficiencies of knowledge about medium-sized companies is their frequent inclusion among small companies. The authors try to find arguments for a more sensible definition of medium-sized company in modern microeconomic theory, theory of entrepreneurship and theory of financial markets. According to the first one, companies grow until they reach the minimum efficient scale. On the other hand, a company's size is determined by incomplete contractual relationships. The second theory argues that medium-sized companies have some advantages because a more manageable number of employees and closer ties between them and the entrepreneur may reduce monitoring costs. In addition, the employees are more willing to invest in formation of specific skills required for their post. The third theory claims that due to information asymmetry medium-sized firms resort predominantly to internal sources of financing (depreciation, retained profits), while banks (relationship banking) are more frequently among external sources of finance than capital markets. The book deals with medium-sized companies in a fourfold manner: conceptual what are medium-sized companies; dynamic -- how do they grow; national -- how a national economy to a large extent depends on the efficiency of medium-sized companies; and international -- how some medium-sized companies acquire characteristics of multinational companies by means of foreign investment.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Bully First Lady - Edith Kermit Roosevelt.

Hardback. Condizione: Fair. Computer vision is the science and technology of machines that see. As a scientific discipline, computer vision is concerned with the theory and technology for building artificial systems that obtain information from images. The image data can take many forms, such as a video sequence, views from multiple cameras, or multi-dimensional data from a medical scanner. As a technological discipline, computer vision seeks to apply the theories and models of computer vision to the construction of computer vision systems. Examples of applications of computer vision systems include systems for controlling processes (e.g. an industrial robot or an autonomous vehicle). Detecting events (e.g. for visual surveillance). Organising information (e.g. for indexing databases of images and image sequences), Modelling objects or environments (e.g. industrial inspection, medical image analysis or topographical modelling), Interaction (e.g. as the input to a device for computer-human interaction). Computer vision can also be describe.…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The muscular dystrophies (MD) are a group of genetic diseases characterised by progressive weakness and degeneration of the skeletal muscles which control movement. There are many forms of muscular dystrophy, some noticeable at birth (congenital muscular dystrophy), others in adolescence (Becker MD), but the 3 most common types are Duchenne, facioscapulohumeral, and myotonic. These three types differ in terms of pattern of inheritance, age of onset, rate of progression, and distribution of weakness. Duchenne MD primarily affects boys and is the result of mutations in the gene that regulates dystrophin -- a protein involved in maintaining the integrity of muscle fibre. Onset is between 3-5 years and progresses rapidly. Most boys become unable to walk at 12, and by 20 have to use a respirator to breathe. Facioscapulohumeral MD appears in adolescence and causes progressive weakness in facial muscles and certain muscles in the arms and legs. It progresses slowly and can vary in symptoms from mild to disabling.Myotonic MD varies in the age of onset and is characterised by myotonia (prolonged muscle spasm) in the fingers and facial muscles; a floppy-footed, high-stepping gait; cataracts; cardiac abnormalities; and endocrine disturbances. Individuals with myotonic MD have long faces and drooping eyelids; men have frontal baldness. This volume presents leading-edge research results on MD.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A child with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) faces a childhood and adolescence with a disability that develops gradually. This book intends to expose the problems of children with DMD. The authors discuss situations related to the disease in an attempt to provide some quality and improvement of life for those affected since DMD is a degenerative disease which affects muscle. This book offers a historical study of muscular dystrophy. It also shows some profiles of excellent clinicians and scientists that have contributed to this book with a description of muscular dystrophy from the clinical picture, to the latest techniques in genetics. Also included in the chapters are resolutions of several approaches to DMD, like scales, in order to anticipate how to manage the disease. This book relates some techniques of moderate exercise, like Yoga and water exercises, that are compliable with some advantages in mobility. The book concludes with some current trends and what can be done in the future. This book can be a good read to everyone that is interested in DMD, and also for the ones who know or provide care for those with this terrible disease. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
