An engaging introduction to human and animal movement seen through the lens of mechanics. How do Olympic sprinters run so fast? Why do astronauts adopt a bounding gait on the moon? How do running shoes improve performance while preventing injuries? This engaging and generously illustrated book answers these questions by examining human and animal movement through the lens of mechanics. The authors present simple conceptual models to study walking and running and apply mechanical principles to a range of interesting examples. They explore the biology of how movement is produced, examining the structure of a muscle down to its microscopic force-generating motors. Drawing on their deep expertis...
A picture is worth a thousand words, and the goal of this atlas is to better understand patellofemoral conditions through pictures. Hence the reason we have decided to publish this book, which is a collection of the finest images of patellofemoral joint surgery, supplied by world renowned specialists in Knee surgery. All the images, footnotes and summaries are compiled in order to convey a simple understanding of this complex problem. This is a very practical book, aimed at the general orthopedic surgeon and also those that specialize in surgery of the knee. The book is divided into four sections, the first section focuses on the etiopathogenic bases, the second section focuses on emerging technologies, the third section includes difficult clinical cases studied, and the fourth section provides a description of the most important surgical techniques for the knee extensor mechanism.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI'99, held in Cambridge, UK, in September 1999. The 133 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 213 full-length papers submitted. The book is divided into topical sections on data-driven segmentation, segmentation using structural models, image processing and feature detection, surfaces and shape, measurement and interpretation, spatiotemporal and diffusion tensor analysis, registration and fusion, visualization, image-guided intervention, robotic systems, and biomechanics and simulation.
Human Factors in Simulation and Training: Application and Practice covers the latest applications and practical implementations of advanced technologies in the field of simulation and training. The text focuses on descriptions and discussions of current applications and the use of the latest technological advances in simulation and training. It covers topics including space adaptation syndrome and perceptual training, simulation for battle-ready command and control, healthcare simulation and training, human factors aspects of cybersecurity training and testing, design and development of algorithms for gesture-based control of semi-autonomous vehicles, and advances in the after-action review process for defence training. The text is an ideal read for professionals and graduate students in the fields of ergonomics, human factors, computer engineering, aerospace engineering, occupational health, and safety.
Energy, Agriculture and Healthcare are key areas which address the development of the nation. Technology related to automation, computing, data analysis, sensor, AI/ML, and IoT drives growth in these sectors. The conference provided a single and integrated platform for researchers working in these areas with a focus on the use of IT tools. It specifically focused on research in energy, agriculture and healthcare. It was organized in hybrid mode, which encouraged researchers all over the world to participate and interact with peer researchers.
The 6th International Conference on Medical Imaging and Computer-Assisted Intervention,MICCAI2003,washeldinMontr ́ eal,Qu ́ ebec,CanadaattheF- rmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel during November 15–18, 2003. This was the ?rst time the conference had been held in Canada. The proposal to host MICCAI 2003 originated from discussions within the Ontario Consortium for Ima- guided Therapy and Surgery, a multi-institutional research consortium that was supported by the Government of Ontario through the Ontario Ministry of E- erprise, Opportunity and Innovation. The objective of the conference was to o?er clinicians and scientists a - rum within which to exchange ideas in this exciting and rapidly growi...
