The papers selected to be included in this book contribute to the understanding of relevant trends of current research on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies, including: Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning, Application of Health Informatics in Clinical Cases, Evaluation and Use of Healthcare IT, Medical Signal Acquisition, Analysis and Processing, Data Mining and Data Analysis, Decision Support Systems, e-Health, e-Health Applications, Mobile Technologies for Healthcare Applications and Medical Devices design.
Despite its extreme climate, the North American Arctic holds a complex archaeological record of global significance. In this volume, leading researchers provide comprehensive coverage of the region's cultural history, addressing issues as diverse as climate change impacts on human societies, European colonial expansion, and hunter-gatherer adaptations and social organization.
This book explores the remarkable flourishing of art and architecture in Bohemia, and Prague as it became the political centre of Charles IV's Holy Roman Empire. It focuses on cultural exchange and the links that can be traced through the artwork across Europe.
When your patrons ask for published immigration, passenger and naturalization records of individuals who came to the U.S. and Canada between the 16th and mid-20th centuries, direct them to this comprehensive resource. Here they'll find everything needed for fruitful genealogical research.Main entries in Passenger and Immigration Lists Index provide information such as name and age of immigrant; year and place of arrival, naturalization, or other record which indicates person indexed is an immigrant; code indicating the source indexed and the page number in the source which contains the record; and the names of all listed family members together with their age and relationship to the main entry. In addition, it provides cross references for every accompanying passenger to main entry.Thirty annual supplements (published 1982-2005) have increased the number of citations to more than four million names indexed. A bibliography of sources indexed appears in each volume.
Are humans violent or peaceful by nature? We are both. In this ambitious and wide-ranging book, Agner Fog presents a ground-breaking new argument that explains the existence of differently organised societies using evolutionary theory. It combines natural sciences and social sciences in a way that is rarely seen. According to a concept called regality theory, people show a preference for authoritarianism and strong leadership in times of war or collective danger, but desire egalitarian political systems in times of peace and safety. These individual impulses shape the way societies develop and organise themselves, and in this book Agner argues that there is an evolutionary mechanism behind t...
