Tale of Two Persian Grandfathers
Explore the fascinating lives of real individuals in Iran, delving beyond news sound bites and internet clips. Through the contrasting stories of two men who grew up in different regions under Reza Khan's leadership, a deeper understanding of Iran emerges. In 1958, my father departed rural Shiraz for higher education in the United States during Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's reign, never returning. Similarly, my father-in-law left Tehran amidst the Iran-Iraq War and the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran, making France his permanent home. These personal narratives offer a unique perspective on historical events and highlight how immigrants from the same country can lead vastly different lives.
Information and Communication on Technology for the Fight Against Global Warning
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Information and Communication Technology for the Fight against Global Warming, ICT-Glow 2011, held in Toulouse, France in August 2011. The 16 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 24 submissions. They address the following topics: parallel computing, ICT for transportation, cloud and pervasive computing, measurement and control and storage.
Acing the Orthopedic Board Exam
In today’s fast-paced world, orthopedic residents and fellows struggle to find the time to study for the board exams, prepare for the recertification exam, prepare for the Orthopedic In-Training Examination, prepare for teaching rounds, or just plain read. What is the best way to effectively prepare and study, if reading multiple resources can’t seem to fit into your daily schedule? The answer to your study questions (and study time!) can be found inside, Acing the Orthopedic Board Exam: The Ultimate Crunch-Time Resource Until now, there has been no single high-yield volume that summarizes the “tough stuff” on the orthopedic board and recertification exams. Acing the Orthopedic Board...
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
The use of minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) has grown rapidly over the last decade and remains the fastest growing area in spine surgery. Now in a revised and expanded second edition including 19 new chapters, this comprehensive textbook provides an updated presentation of the field of MISS, highlighting surgical techniques and clinical outcomes as well as providing a unique focus on how these techniques are applied for specific spinal conditions. Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery, Second Edition includes detailed discussions of enabling technologies, surgical techniques, approaches to specific diseases and conditions, a new section on out-patient/ambulatory spine surgery, and strategi...
Innovations in Bio-Inspired Computing and Applications
This book highlights recent research on bio-inspired computing and its various innovative applications in information and communication technologies. It presents 80 high-quality papers from the 12th International Conference on Innovations in Bio-Inspired Computing and Applications (IBICA 2021) and 11th World Congress on Information and Communication Technologies (WICT 2021), which was held online during December 16–18, 2021. As a premier conference, IBICA–WICT brings together researchers, engineers and practitioners whose work involves bio-inspired computing, computational intelligence and their applications in information security, real-world contexts, etc. Including contributions by authors from 25 countries, the book offers a valuable reference guide for all researchers, students and practitioners in the fields of Computer Science and Engineering.
Integrated Systems, Design and Technology 2010
Knowledge creation and technological experiences resulting from modern production life cycles are definitely the most Economical and important intellectual capitals in the current manufacturing endeavors. These are also the basis for enabling industrial competition through managing and identifying organizational and product related needs and opportunities; e. g. health care systems society needs clean environment, sustainable production life cycles needs flexible approachable design and engineering of materials whilst valuable materials are needed for renewable energies and the production of fuel cells. Integration of components, design of structures and managing knowledge inherent in engineering is a difficult and complex endeavor. A wide range of advanced technologies such as smart materials and their approaches in alternative energy have to be invoked in providing assistance for knowledge requirements ranging from acquisition, modeling, (re)using, retrieving, sharing, publishing and maintaining of knowledge. Integration, Design and management with regards to knowledge management originates at least on three roots.
Spinal Instrumentation
In the last two decades, spine instrumentation and surgery have undergone many improvements. The second edition benefits from contributions by renowned orthopaedic surgeons and neurosurgeons who helped create and refine the systems described in the book, and devoted their careers to educating next generations of spine surgeons. Advancements in instrumentation - plates, cages, rods, screws, disc replacements, spacers, and fusion devices - have led to improved outcomes for patients. The spinal device field has grown exponentially, and surgeons are faced with an increasingly diverse choice of instrumentation options. While the first edition categorized available systems, the new edition is focu...
Advances in Renewable Energies and Power Quality
This volume brings together contributions dealing with renewable energies and power quality, presented over five years of the International Conference on Renewable Energy and Power Quality (ICREPQ). It contains a selection of the best papers and original contributions presenting state-of-the-art research in the field of renewable energy sources. Including some of the leading authorities in their areas of expertise, the contributors to the volume are drawn from across the globe, with about 300 authors from 60 different countries.
Energy Storage Systems
Energy systems are encountered in daily life, whether through smartphones, laptops or cordless tools. Cars using fossil fuels are being replaced with electric and battery powered drives, and storage solutions are being implemented to better integrate renewable energies into the grid. Energy Storage Systems introduces the different storage technologies available today. It begins with mechanical and electrical storage and describes in detail electrochemical storage technologies such as lead and lithium-ion batteries. However, this book aims to explain not only what storage technologies exist but also how these storage technologies are applied in storage systems. Therefore, this book provides a short introduction to requirements management and system engineering to explain how storage systems are designed. Furthermore, the book explains the most important power conversion techniques. The technologies presented are applied in many application examples throughout the book and range from solar power storage systems to battery supported mobile phone masts and commercial vehicles equipped with a hybrid drive system.
