Innovation in all aspects of mechanical engineering and management Computer Aided Production Engineering is a compilation of papers presented at the 17th International CAPE Conference in 2001. Featuring the work of leading innovators from academia and industry, this book explores the forefront of mechanical engineering technology and practices to provide insight for today and direction for tomorrow. Broad in scope yet rich in detail, these papers cover topics ranging from supply chain management, nontraditional processes, and quality control, to machining processes, concurrent design and engineering, rapid prototyping, virtual reality applications, and much more.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) are both common diseases seriously affecting human health. CVD refers to a broad range of disorders including diseases affecting the vasculature, the myocardium, the heart’s electrical circuit, and congenital heart disease. NDDs are conditions affecting brain development and function, mainly characterized by impairments of cognition, communication, and motor skills. Although the heart and brain develop in spatially distinct regions, they share similar genetic factors and molecular pathways which are crucial for a precise developmental trajectory. Actually, congenital CVD survivors are at a higher risk of NDD, and whole-exome sequencing revealed a significant overlap between high-risk congenital CVD and NDD genetic variants. For CVD and NDD, the clinical presentations are heterogeneous, and the etiologies are complex. Elucidating the potential pathogenic mechanisms is good for unveiling the pathophysiology and finding the novel therapeutic target.
This book offers a collection of 17 scientific papers about the computational modeling of fracture. Some of the manuscripts propose new computational methods and/or how to improve existing cutting edge methods for fracture. These contributions can be classified into two categories: 1. Methods which treat the crack as strong discontinuity such as peridynamics, scaled boundary elements or specific versions of the smoothed finite element methods applied to fracture and 2. Continuous approaches to fracture based on, for instance, phase field models or continuum damage mechanics. On the other hand, the book also offers a wide range of applications where state-of-the-art techniques are employed to solve challenging engineering problems such as fractures in rock, glass, concrete. Also, larger systems such as fracture in subway stations due to fire, arch dams, or concrete decks are studied.
Deep learning has achieved impressive results in image classification, computer vision, and natural language processing. To achieve better performance, deeper and wider networks have been designed, which increase the demand for computational resources. The number of floatingpoint operations (FLOPs) has increased dramatically with larger networks, and this has become an obstacle for convolutional neural networks (CNNs) being developed for mobile and embedded devices. In this context, Binary Neural Networks: Algorithms, Architectures, and Applications will focus on CNN compression and acceleration, which are important for the research community. We will describe numerous methods, including par...
Chinese medicine has been relieving arthritis for 2,000 years by balancing the body and allowing its healing powers to take over. This guide provides a basic introduction to how Chinese medicine aids in the diagnosis and treatment of arthritis, including Chinese self-care and home remedies, such as self- massage, magnet therapy, and Chinese patent medicines.
This book shows some contributions presented in the 2010 International Conference on Robotic Welding, Intelligence and Automation (RWIA’2010), Oct. 14-16, 2010, Shanghai, China. Welding handicraft is one of the most primordial and traditional techniques, mainly by manpower and human experiences. Weld quality and efficiency are, therefore, straightly limited by the welder’s skill. In the modern manufacturing, automatic and robotic welding is becoming an inevitable trend. In recent years, the intelligentized techniques for robotic welding have a great development. The current teaching play-back welding robot is not with real-time functions for sensing and adaptive control of weld process. ...
