This book gathers the joint proceedings of the VIII Latin American Conference on Biomedical Engineering (CLAIB 2019) and the XLII National Conference on Biomedical Engineering (CNIB 2019). It reports on the latest findings and technological outcomes in the biomedical engineering field. Topics include: biomedical signal and image processing; biosensors, bioinstrumentation and micro-nanotechnologies; biomaterials and tissue engineering. Advances in biomechanics, biorobotics, neurorehabilitation, medical physics and clinical engineering are also discussed. A special emphasis is given to practice-oriented research and to the implementation of new technologies in clinical settings. The book provides academics and professionals with extensive knowledge on and a timely snapshot of cutting-edge research and developments in the field of biomedical engineering.
This book reports on the latest research and developments in Biomedical Engineering, with a special emphasis on topics of interest and findings achieved in Latin America. This third volume of a 4-volume set covers advances in biomechanical analysis and modeling, neural network based methods for medical diagnosis and therapy, and robots and human-machine interface for rehabilitation. Throughout the book, a special emphasis is given to low-cost technologies and to their development for and applications in clinical settings. Based on the IX Latin American Conference on Biomedical Engineering (CLAIB 2022) and the XXVIII Brazilian Congress on Biomedical Engineering (CBEB 2022), held jointly, and virtually on October 24-28, 2022, from Florianópolis, Brazil, this book provides researchers and professionals in the biomedical engineering field with extensive information on new technologies and current challenges for their clinical applications. .
Improving Health and Nutrition through Bioactive Compounds: Benefits and Applications presents bioactive compounds and functional foods as a therapeutic approach to disease and overall health and well-being. It covers various bioactive compounds, including peptides, phenols, and flavonoids as foods to consider for complementary treatment in disease management. Written for nutrition researchers, food scientists, graduate students and other food science and health professionals, this book is a welcomed reference for those who wish to better understand the role of bioactive compounds and functional foods in the treatment and prevention of disease. - Highlights dietary alternatives to health management and disease treatment and prevention - Covers bioactive constituents of foods, phytochemicals, and the effect of digestion or processing on food components - Considers the link between food composition and processing on the nutritional and functional quality of foods, along with the role of diet in enhancing consumer health

The key to sustained and equitable development in Latin America is high quality education for all. However, coalitions favoring quality reforms in education are usually weak because parents are dispersed, business is not interested, and much of the middle class has exited public education. In Routes to Reform, Ben Ross Schneider examines education policy throughout Latin America to show that reforms to improve learning--especially making teacher careers more meritoc...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 4th Ibero-American Congress, ICSC-CITIES 2021, held in Cancún, Mexico, in November - December 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the conference was partially held online. The 21 full papers and one short paper presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 112 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on computational intelligence for smart cities; urban informatics; internet of things, smart energy and smart grid.
A central premise is that an objective and universally‐accepted measure of “success” in development and paths to it does not exist.
