Human Digital Twins for Medical and Product Engineering

The current trend towards digitalization of human-centred engineering processes in conjunction with advances in (bio-)mechanistic modelling, high-performance computing, artificial intelligence (AI) and sensor technology leads to unprecedented transformation potentials in medical, product and human factors engineering for the enhancement of human-technology interaction as well as medical treatment outcomes. Biomechanical simulations hold high potential by revealing the processes and inner strain conditions of the human body. For reliable simulation results, a model suitable for the application and a way to measure/estimate/predict the human motion behaviour and the interaction with the environment and/or interacting technology are necessary. In this context we refer to a human digital twin as an extension and connection of participant/person-specific biomechanical human models with data streams from clinical observation, operational use of technology or daily life. Each human digital twin is an instance digitally representing a specific person in healthy or pathological state suitable for the specified application.

Wearable Robotics: Challenges and Trends

This book reports on advanced topics in the areas of wearable robotics research and practice. It focuses on new technologies, including neural interfaces, soft wearable robots, sensors and actuators technologies, discussing industrially and medically-relevant issues, as well as legal and ethical aspects. It covers exemplary case studies highlighting challenges related to the implementation of wearable robots for different purposes, and describing advanced solutions. Based on the 5th International Symposium on Wearable Robotics, WeRob2020, and on WearRacon Europe 2020, which were both held online on October 13-16, 2020, the book addresses a large audience of academics and professionals working in for the government, in the industry, and in medical centers, as well as end-users alike. By merging together engineering, medical, ethical and industrial perspectives, it offers a multidisciplinary, timely snapshot of the field of wearable technologies.

Prosthetic Designs for Restoring Human Limb Function

This textbook provides a thorough introduction and overview of the design and engineering of state-of-the-art prosthetics and assistive technologies. Innovations in prosthetics are increasingly made by cross-disciplinary thinking, and the author introduces the application of biomedical, mechanical, electrical, computer, and materials engineering principles to the design of artificial limbs. Coverage includes the fundamentals of biomechanics, biomechanical modeling and measurements, the basics of anatomy and physiology of limb defects, and the historical development of prosthetic design. This book stimulates the innovative thinking necessary for advancing limb restoration, and will be essential reading for students, as well as researchers, professional engineers, and prosthetists involved in the design and manufacture of artificial limbs. Learning enhanced by the exercises, including physical modeling with MATLAB and Simulink; Includes appendices with relevant equations and parameters for reference; Introduction to the design and engineering of prosthetics and assistive technologies.

De Volkshogeschool in Nederland, 1925-2010

Wat wij nu een leven lang leren of Learn for Life noemen, werd in de jaren dertig volksontwikkeling en volksopvoeding genoemd. De Volkshogescholen waren echter deel van een veel bredere educatieve beweging. In dit boek worden voor het eerst het ontstaan en de ontwikkeling van de verschillende volkshogescholen geschetst en de activiteiten die zij ontplooiden. Zo werd in de jaren dertig aan honderden jonge werklozen met een vakscholing én een sociale en educatieve vorming een nieuw perspectief aangereikt. Volkshogescholen begeleidden inspraakprocedures, schoolden toekomstige onderwijzers, gezinsverzorgsters en leerlingen van diverse schooltypen. Ze stonden in de jaren dertig vooraan bij de maatschappelijke vorming van jonge vrouwen en in de jaren zeventig bij feministische Vrouwenleerdagen. De niet gesubsidieerde Fryske Folkshegeskoalle op Terschelling is in Nederland als enige overgebleven. De Stichting voor Volkshogeschoolwerk in Nederland werd in 2011 opgeheven. Het werk wordt voortgezet door het platform voor internationale volwasseneducatie Learn for Life.

Nanotechnology in Catalysis

Reflecting the R&D efforts in the field that have resulted in a plethora of novel applications over the past decade, this handbook gives a comprehensive overview of the tangible benefits of nanotechnology in catalysis. By bridging fundamental research and industrial development, it provides a unique perspective on this scientifically and economically important field. While the first three parts are devoted to preparation and characterization of nanocatalysts, the final three provide in-depth insights into their applications in the fine chemicals industry, the energy industry, and for environmental protection, with expert authors reporting on real-life applications that are on the brink of commercialization. Timely reading for catalytic chemists, materials scientists, chemists in industry, and process engineers.

Salvador Sobral won the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest in Kiev for Portugal, his country's first win after 53 years of trying and in doing so smashed all the points records. The 2017 Edition of the Complete & Independent Guide is the 10th edition of this book and as usual it's packed with statistical details of every Contest since 1956 along with plenty of new analysis, over 326 pages, our biggest edition ever. The book looks at the national qualification competitions for 2017 and has an in-depth section on the entire voting history of each country, along with new sections for this year, including which semi-final is the kiss of death for certain countries, the biggest disagreements between juries and the their public, how some countries receive overwhelmingly more points from juries than the public & vice versa.
