Green Energy and Technology

This book investigates in detail piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) technology, assessing its potential us to replace conventional electrochemical batteries with kinetic energy harvesters as sustainable power supplies in wireless sensor network (WSN) devices and mobile electronics, which are originally exposed to ambient vibration. Studies on PEH have attracted engineers and scientists from various disciplines, such as electrical, mechanical, materials, civil and biomedical engineering. Pursuing a holistic approach, the book establishes a fundamental framework for this topic, while emphasizing the importance of integrated analysis and the significant influence of circuit issues in the design and optimization of PEH systems. This approach will help readers from different disciplines recognize the essential aspects of and milestones towards the optimization of PEH systems in practice. The book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in energy harvesting technology, researchers investigating kinetic energy harvesting systems, and structure/circuit design engineers working on self-powered WSNs or other energy harvesting applications.

Human–Computer Interaction Series

This book shows how HCI designers and practitioners can incorporate a somatic perspective or sensibility into interaction design. It demonstrates how experiential techniques can be used to support design and evaluation of user experience methods within HCI. Multiple examples are included using case studies to illustrate somatic approaches to the design of technology, contextualising the history of somatic methods within HCI and highlighting the relationships between user experiences and the application of somatic principles. The benefits and challenges of integrating somatic approaches in a technological context is illustrated and there is coverage of body-based somatic and somaesthetic strategies and how to apply these in research. The differences in epistemological assumptions are identified through contextual practice, discussion and case studies with a strong emphasis on multi-modal examples.

Experience as Skill: The Somatic Turn in Human-Computer Interaction

This detailed, excellently illustrated guide describes how to perform damage control surgery to the abdomen and presents pearls and pitfalls from the authors' personal experience. Individual chapters focus on crash laparotomy and surgical techniques for injuries to the liver, spleen, pancreas and duodenum, stomach, small bowel, colon, rectum, kidney, ureter, bladder, and abdominal veins and arteries. Preperitoneal packing is described, and instruction provided on methods of temporary abdominal closure.&nbsp; Damage control surgery is now well established as the standard of care for severely injured patients requiring emergent laparotomy. Although it may be defined as "limited operation for control of hemorrhage and contamination", a number of techniques based on a good deal of&nbsp;experience&nbsp;are now used in&nbsp;a variety of situations. This atlas will be a great help to all who are involved in trauma surgery, and especially young trauma surgeons.

This book reflects new developments in the modeling and control of piezoelectric cantilevers. The main nonlinearities (hysteresis and creep) of these actuators are explained from a physical point of view and introduced into the modeling through operators and systems. The achieved models are adapted and used for the synthesis of classical (PID…) and advanced control schemes and laws. Another important aim of the control part in this book is the feed forward control which is of great interest for linearization and for damping vibration or for performances improvement when no sensor is available for feedback. Finally, the last part addresses the measurement techniques and integration for piezoelectric actuators. The concept of self-sensing and the use of observer techniques are highlighted, emphasizing the close relation between the nonlinearities and the reliability of the provided measurement. This book supplies practical tools for modeling, control and signal measurement of piezoelectric cantilevers. Numercial examples, identification and implementation procedures for experiments are provided. Finally, the appendices provide the tools to get familiar with the employed control techniques.

Das Buch behandelt das umfangreiche Gebiet der Medizin in einigen Schwerpunktthemen und weist auf ökonomische Zusammenhänge zu diesen Themen hin.&nbsp;Die Notwendigkeit, medizinische mit ökonomischer Forschung und Lehre zu verknüpfen, wird nicht mehr in Frage gestellt, da die Kosten im Gesundheitswesen ausufern. Ein aktuelles Beispiel für überproportional steigende Kosten im Gesundheitswesen sind die Ausgaben für Medikamente, die stärker zunehmen als das Bruttoinlandsprodukt (BIP). Die Kostendiskussion muss daher weiter auf allen Ebenen des Gesundheitswesens vom niedergelassenen Arzt bis zum Krankenhaus, von der pharmazeutischen Industrie bis zu den Spitzenverbänden der Selbstverwaltung geführt werden, da die wirtschaftlichen Konsequenzen einer rationalen medizinischen Versorgung analysiert, kritisch diskutiert, bewertet und transparent dargestellt werden müssen.&nbsp;Es fehlt bisher ein Basislehrbuch der Medizin für Ökonomen, also ein Buch, das medizinische Inhalte auf das für Gesundheitsökonomen relevante Maß begrenzt und dabei versucht, medizinische Maßnahmen im Zusammenhang mit Kostenbewertungen zu veranschaulichen.&nbsp;Das wesentliche Anliegen des vorliegenden Buches ist daher die Verbindung ärztlichen Denkens und Handelns mit ökonomischen Überlegungen, da der Dialog zwischen Ökonomen und Mediziner nur auf der Basis gemeinsamen Wissens effizient geführt werden kann. Über den AutorProf. Dr. med. Helmut Brunner ist&nbsp;Facharzt für Mikrobiologie und Infektionsepidemiologie, außerplanmäßiger Professor an der Universität Düsseldorf,&nbsp;Lehrbeauftragter an der Universität Wuppertal im Studiengang Gesundheitsökonomie und Gesundheitsmanagement sowie Gutachter für IT-Anwendungen im Gesundheitswesen.

Medizin für Ökonomen

This book provides a unique multi- and interdisciplinary approach to energy conversion technologies by shedding light on the topic from both technological and ethical perspectives. It applies these concepts to examples of engineering problems related to energy conversion – an internal combustion engine and a fuel cell – in order to give the reader a clear idea of how to implement the approaches and do the work. The first part is an introduction to thermodynamics, which is an important concept for engineers when describing and analyzing energy conversion processes in terms of their efficiency. The book goes on to discuss the concepts of exergy analysis and life cycle assessment while taking environmental aspects into account, particularly the formation of pollutants. The second part introduces the ethical terminology and describes global and environmental risks associated with energy conversion, as well as aspects of sustainability. The book is based on an introductory lecture on energy technologies for undergraduate engineering students. However, the explanation of the various concepts remains illustrative, avoiding a more complex mathematical or philosophical treatment of the subject. Therefore, this book provides a modern but timeless introduction to energy conversion technologies that is well suited for the generally interested reader.
