Women in the Ancient Near East
Women in the Ancient Near East offers a lucid account of the daily life of women in Mesopotamia from the third millennium BCE until the beginning of the Hellenistic period. The book systematically presents the lives of women emerging from the available cuneiform material and discusses modern scholarly opinion. Stol’s book is the first full-scale treatment of the history of women in the Ancient Near East.
Evidence-Based Cardiology
Evidence based Cardiology was first published in 1998 to universal acclaim. Now, with the move towards more patient focused health care and at the same time increased emphasis on health economics, evidence-based practice is a more important force in health care delivery than ever. This new third edition, written by the world’s leading cardiologists, provides graded evidence-based reviews of the major trials together with recommendations for optimum management, and now includes new grading and recommendation methodology. This is a unique book in the field of cardiology, and the largest evidence based clinical cardiology text.
The Cambridge History of Nineteenth-Century Music
The most informed reference book on nineteenth-century music currently available, this comprehensive overview of music in the nineteenth century draws on the most recent scholarship in the field. Essays investigate the intellectual and socio-political history of the time, and examine topics such as nations and nationalism, the emergent concept of an avant garde, and musical styles and languages at the turn of the century. It contains a detailed chronology, and extensive glossaries.

AI Techniques for Renewable Source Integration and Battery Charging Methods in Electric Vehicle Applications
Artificial intelligence techniques applied in the power system sector make the prediction of renewable power source generation and demand more efficient and effective. Additionally, since renewable sources are intermittent in nature, it is necessary to predict and analyze the data of input sources. Hence, further study on the prediction and data analysis of renewable energy sources for sustainable development is required. AI Techniques for Renewable Source Integration and Battery Charging Methods in Electric Vehicle Applications focuses on artificial intelligence techniques for the evolving power system field, electric vehicle market, energy storage elements, and renewable energy source integration as distributed generators. Covering key topics such as deep learning, artificial intelligence, and smart solar energy, this premier reference source is ideal for environmentalists, computer scientists, industry professionals, researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.
Decision-Making Techniques for Autonomous Vehicles
Decision-Making Techniques for Autonomous Vehicles provides a general overview of control and decision-making tools that could be used in autonomous vehicles. Motion prediction and planning tools are presented, along with the use of machine learning and adaptability to improve performance of algorithms in real scenarios. The book then examines how driver monitoring and behavior analysis are used produce comprehensive and predictable reactions in automated vehicles. The book ultimately covers regulatory and ethical issues to consider for implementing correct and robust decision-making. This book is for researchers as well as Masters and PhD students working with autonomous vehicles and decision algorithms. - Provides a complete overview of decision-making and control techniques for autonomous vehicles - Includes technical, physical, and mathematical explanations to provide knowledge for implementation of tools - Features machine learning to improve performance of decision-making algorithms - Shows how regulations and ethics influence the development and implementation of these algorithms in real scenarios
Emotion and Its Relationship to Acceptance, Food Choice, and Consumption: The New Perspective
Food is a source of nutrients but it also provides basic pleasure and aesthetic experiences. Acceptance, food choice, and consumption are affected by many factors, including both intrinsic and extrinsic factors and cues, as well as consumer characteristics. Food-elicited emotions are becoming a critical component in designing products that meet consumers’ needs and expectations. Several studies have reported on the presence of emotional responses to food and the relationships of these to product acceptability, preference, and choice. This Special Issue brings together a small range of studies with a diversity of approaches that provide good examples of the complex and multidisciplinary nature of this subject matter.
Mechanical Circulatory Support in End-Stage Heart Failure
This book is a detailed practical guide to the use of ventricular assist devices and total artificial hearts to provide mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in patients with end-stage heart failure. It explains why MCS may be indicated, which patients require MCS, when and how to implant ventricular assist devices or a total artificial heart, and how to avoid potential complications of MCS. Management throughout the period of care is described, from preimplantation to follow-up, and both typical and atypical cases are discussed. The text features numerous helpful tips and tricks relating to surgical and nonsurgical management and is supported by a wealth of high-quality illustrations that document the preoperative evaluation and implantation techniques. Heart transplantation remains the gold standard for the treatment of patients suffering from end-stage heart failure, but the shortage of donors has led to an increase in the use of MCS. This book will assist all physicians, and especially cardiologists and anesthesiologists, who are involved in the care of these patients.
