Cyber Physical, Computer and Automation System
This book is a collection of extended papers presented at the Cyber Physical, Computer and Automation System (CPCAS 2019), Bali - Indonesia, 13-15 November 2019. The book includes chapters in three prime areas: (1) autonomous systems and controls; (2) human-machine interaction and human-related engineering; and (3) interconnected things. Autonomous systems and controls are systems of engineering that work with or without human intervention. Human-machine interaction involves sensor and actuator technology to detect human behavior, intentions, and decisions and also to provide the ability of a machine to interact with humans to achieve the expected performance. Interconnected things consist of a network of computer-controlled physical mechanisms communicating with each other for efficient operation and improving system capabilities.
Materials Modelling Using Density Functional Theory
The book explains the fundamental ideas of density functional theory, and how this theory can be used as a powerful method for explaining and even predicting the properties of materials with stunning accuracy.

Requirements of Vitamin A, Thiamine, Riboflavine and Niacin
The prevalence of deficiency states in respect to vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavine, and niacin is discussed in light of clinical evidence. Information on the intake, absorption and utilization of the vitamins and depletion-repletion study results provide a basis to recommend vitamin needs. Specific characteristics, utilization and needs for each vitamin are presented. Practical implications are discussed with reference to 1) assessment of the adequacy of total food supplies and results of consumption surveys; 2) methods of improving diets to attain recommended intake levels; 3) public health aspects of meeting needs of vulnerable groups. The FAO report recommends 1) further research to fill gaps in present knowledge of vitamins; 2) acceptance of recommended intake levels as objectives for nutritional improvement; 3) attention to young children's vulnerability to deficiencies, especially vitamin A; 4) direct attention to adequate nutrient intake for all age group; 5) depreciation of programs that overemphasize provision of individual nutrients rather than balanced intake.
Handbook of Social Support and the Family
While insights sometimes are slow in coming, they often seem obvious when they finally arrive. This handbook is an outcome of the insight that the topics of social support and the family are very closely linked. Obvious as this might seem, the fact remains that the literatures dealing with social support and the family have been deceptively separate and distinct. For example, work on social support began in the 1970s with the accumulation of evidence that social ties and social integration play important roles in health and personal adjustment. Even though family members are often the key social supporters of individuals, relatively little re search of social support was targeted on family i...

Becoming a Kink Aware Therapist
As a result of recent media interest, the practice of BDSM has become more mainstream yet remains marginalized. Now more than ever, greater numbers of heterosexual and LGBTQ couples are starting to explore some form of BDSM. However, profound misunderstandings continue leading to unintentional physical and psychological harm. Drawing on current research and ethnographic narratives from the kink community, this book seeks to provide psychotherapists with an introductory understanding of the culture and practice of BDSM, and presents specific therapeutic concerns related to common misconceptions. This book strives to de-pathologize BDSM practices, while also providing concrete ways to distinguish abuse from consent, harmful codependency, and more. Packed with practical suggestions and rich case studies, this book belongs on the shelf of every therapist seeing BDSM and kink clients.
Mobile Service Innovation and Business Models
Modern economies depend on innovation in services for their future growth. Service innovation increasingly depends on information technology and digitization of information processes. Designing new services is a complex matter, since collaboration with other companies and organizations is necessary. Service innovation is directly related to business models that support these services, i.e. services can only be successful in the long run with a viable business model that creates value for its customers and providers. This book presents a theoretically grounded yet practical approach to designing viable business models for electronic services, including mobile ones, i.e. the STOF model and – based on it – the STOF method. The STOF model provides a ‘holistic’ view on business models with four interrelated perspectives, i.e., Service, Technology, Organization and Finance. It elaborates on critical design issues that ultimately shape the business model and drive its viability.
IGF and Nutrition in Health and Disease
A benchmark review on how specific nutrients or adverse nutritional states impact the components of the IGF (Insulin-like Growth Factor) system and affect human health and disease. The authors describe the fundamentals of the IGF system, explain its basic mechanisms of action, illuminate its essential role in physical development across the life span, and highlight the link between normal and abnormal cellular growth resulting in tumor formation. They also fully examine the clinical aspects of nutrition and IGF, from pre- and postnatal development through old age, in the maintenance of normal metabolism, bone, and muscle health, and their role in pathological states. Special attention is given to critical illness, diabetes, gastrointestinal diseases, kidney failure, endocrine dysfunctions, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders, and cancer, as well as to their potential for IGF therapy.
