"This book presents a unique examination of mobile robots and embedded systems, from introductory to intermediate level. It is structured in three parts, dealing with Embedded Systems (hardware and software design, actuators, sensors, PID control, multitasking), Mobile Robot Design (driving, balancing, walking, and flying robots), and Mobile Robot Applications (mapping, robot soccer, genetic algorithms, neural networks, behavior-based systems, and simulation)." "The book is organized for ease of use, with side-texts, and lots of figures, photographs, and worked example programs. A complementary web site offers free download of the RoBIOS operating system, example programs, online documentation, and a simulator." "The book is written as a text for courses in computer science, computer engineering, IT, electronic engineering, and mechatronics, as well as a guide for robot hobbyists and researchers."--BOOK JACKET.
This highly comprehensive and informed textbook has been prepared by the Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance section of the European Society of Cardiology association on imaging, the EACVI. The EACVI Textbook of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance is the authority on the subject. The textbook is aligned with ESC Core Curriculum and EACVI Core Syllabus for CMR. It is a practical resource and provides a disease orientated outlook on the subject. Structured with thirteen clear and detailed sections, ranging from Physics to Methodology, and featuring specific sections on ischemic heart disease, myocardial disease, pericardial disease, and congenital heart disease and adult congenital heart disease, ...
Dieser Band ist das Ergebnis einer Tagung von renommierten Neurowissenschaftlern und ausgewiesenen Experten für das Lehren und Lernen von Fremdsprachen. Gemeinsam diskutierten sie die Frage: Wie lassen sich neueste neurowissenschaftliche Forschungserkenntnisse auf das Lehren und Lernen von Fremdsprachen anwenden? Ziel war es, gemeinsam neue, auf empirischer Evidenz basierende Wege in Richtung eines effektiveren Fremdsprachenunterrichts zu entdecken. "Focus on Evidence – Fremdsprachendidaktik trifft Neurowissenschaften" nimmt Sie mit auf diese Reise zu Wissensbeständen und zu intensivem Transferdialog zwischen den Disziplinen. Es können alle Vorträge zu Themen wie "Sprache hören und ri...
Until the publication of this exciting volume, new treatment modalities in the rapidly growing field of interventional cardiology were described based on individual research findings. Now, a multidisciplinary team of international experts puts catheter-based treatment techniques in context by exploring the pathobiology of specific diseases alongside a discussion of imaging tools and functional tests, and a comparison to alternative treatment approaches provided by cardiovascular surgery. This comprehensive overview of interventional cardiology represents a landmark in the field.
This book covers all aspects of low field MRI, describing its advantages, problems and prerequisites. Individual chapters are devoted to site planning, safety considerations, coils, imaging technique, image quality optimization, the imaging of different anatomic regions and likely future developments. The factors that must be borne in mind when selecting a low field system are clearly identified and detailed attention is paid to the applications for which such a system is adequate. The focus on high field systems has led to a situation where only a few systems with field strengths lower than 0.5 T survive. Some of these systems possess high field features such as multichannel coils and stron...
The volume presents innovations in data analysis and classification and gives an overview of the state of the art in these scientific fields and applications. Areas that receive considerable attention in the book are discrimination and clustering, data analysis and statistics, as well as applications in marketing, finance, and medicine. The reader will find material on recent technical and methodological developments and a large number of applications demonstrating the usefulness of the newly developed techniques.
"Topics in Neuromodulation Treatment" is a book that invites to the reader to make an update in this important and well-defined area involved in the Neuroscience world. The book pays attention in some aspects of the electrical therapy and also in the drug delivery management of several neurological illnesses including the classic ones like epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, pain, and other indications more recently incorporated to this important tool like bladder incontinency, heart ischemia and stroke. The manuscript is dedicated not only to the expert, but also to the scientist that begins in this amazing field. The authors are physicians of different specialties and they guarantee the clinical expertise to provide to the reader the best guide to treat the patient.
Written by internationally eminent experts in cardiovascular imaging, this volume provides state-of-the-art information on the use of MRI and CT in the assessment of cardiac and vascular diseases. This Second Edition reflects recent significant advances in cardiovascular MRI technology and the emergence of multi-detector CT as an important diagnostic modality, particularly for ischemic heart disease. New chapters in this edition cover coronary CTA and plaque characterization. A brand-new interventional MR section covers catheter tracking and devices, endovascular interventions, MR-guided cardiac catheterization, and endovascular delivery of gene and stem cell therapy. More than 900 illustrations present diagnostic information in unprecedented detail.
The Workshop Volume from the Humans and Computers Conference documents the advanced tutorials that were presented to deepen the understanding gained from the conference lectures. It presents case studies along with accompanying exercises.
