Handbook of Anthropometry Physical Measures of Human Form in Health and Disease


Free Download Victor R. Preedy, "Handbook of Anthropometry: Physical Measures of Human Form in Health and Disease"
English | ISBN: 144191787X | 2012 | 3157 pages | AZW3 | 36 MB
Although its underlying concept is a relatively simple one―the measurement of the human body and its parts―anthropometry employs a myriad of methods and instruments, and is useful for a variety of purposes, from understanding the impact of disease on individuals to tracking changes in populations over time. The first interdisciplinary reference on the subject, the Handbook of Anthropometry brings this wide-ranging field together: basic theory and highly specialized topics in normal and abnormal anthropometry in terms of health, disease prevention, and intervention. Over 140 self-contained chapters cover up-to-date indices, the latest studies on computerized methods, shape-capturing systems, and bioelectrical impedance, data concerning single tissues and whole-body variables, and reports from different areas of the world. Chapters feature helpful charts and illustrations, cross-references to related chapters are included, and key points are presented in bullet form for ease of comprehension. Together, the Handbook’s thirteen sections entail all major aspects of anthropometrical practice and research, including: Tools and techniques. Developmental stages, from fetus to elder. Genetic diseases, metabolic diseases, and cancer. Exercise and nutrition. Ethnic, cultural, and geographic populations. Special conditions and circumstances. The Handbook of Anthropometry is an invaluable addition to the reference libraries of a broad spectrum of health professionals, among them health scientists, physicians, physiologists, nutritionists, dieticians, nurses, public health researchers, epidemiologists, exercise physiologists, and physical therapists. It is also useful to college-level students and faculty in the health disciplines, as well as to policymakers and ergonomists.

Artificial Intelligence Solutions for Cyber-Physical Systems


Free Download Artificial Intelligence Solutions for Cyber-Physical Systems edited by Pushan Kumar Dutta, Pethuru Raj, B. Sundaravadivazhagan, Chithirai Pon Selvan
English | September 16, 2024 | ISBN: 1032686723 | True PDF | 454 pages | 9.6 MB
Smart manufacturing environments are revolutionizing the industrial sector by integrating advanced technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and robotics, to achieve higher levels of efficiency, productivity, and safety. However, the increasing complexity and interconnectedness of these systems also introduce new security challenges that must be addressed to ensure the safety of human workers and the integrity of manufacturing processes. Key topics include risk assessment methodologies, secure communication protocols, and the development of standard specifications to guide the design and implementation of HCPS. Recent research highlights the importance of adopting a multi-layered approach to security, encompassing physical, network, and application layers. Furthermore, the integration of AI and machine learning techniques enables real-time monitoring and analysis of system vulnerabilities, as well as the development of adaptive security measures.

Securing Wireless Communications at the Physical Layer


Free Download Securing Wireless Communications at the Physical Layer By Ruoheng Liu, Wade Trappe
2009 | 396 Pages | ISBN: 144191384X | PDF | 14 MB
The book focuses on a recently emerging topic in security. Specifically, the book focuses on physical layer security. Whereas conventional security mechanisms involve cryptography that operates at higher layers of the protocol stack, the methods described in this book secure communications at the physical layer. The area of physical layer security is an emerging field of research that has seen an explosion of research in the past few years. This trend is only expected to continue as there is a growing need to secure wireless communications without conventional cryptographic network security protocols. The proposed book will consist of contributions from roughly a dozen of the leading research groups in this emerging area. For the first time, important results will be collected together. Important topics will include the secrecy rate of MIMO wireless systems, practical codes for the dissemination of secrets, and authentication of wireless transmitters using waveform-level properties.

The Role of Mathematics in Physical Sciences Interdisciplinary and Philosophical Aspects


Free Download The Role of Mathematics in Physical Sciences: Interdisciplinary and Philosophical Aspects by Giovanni Boniolo, Paolo Budinich, Majda Trobok
English | PDF | 2005 | 246 Pages | ISBN : 1402031068 | 2.3 MB
Even though mathematics and physics have been related for centuries and this relation appears to be unproblematic, there are many questions still open: Is mathematics really necessary for physics, or could physics exist without mathematics? Should we think physically and then add the mathematics apt to formalise our physical intuition, or should we think mathematically and then interpret physically the obtained results? Do we get mathematical objects by abstraction from real objects, or vice versa? Why is mathematics effective into physics?
