Kinematic MRI of the Joints is the first textbook on this important, emerging clinical MRI application.

Offers an approach to the overall concurrent engineering development process, presenting both fundamental principles and advanced concepts, while focusing on rapid product development and cost-effective designs. This book introduces Cost Driven Design, with specific examples on how to minimize expenses by understanding the basis of product costs.

Offers comprehensive coverage of the basic theories and hands-on techniques of polymer toughening, demonstrating the similarities in methods of measurement and toughness enhancement found in various classes of polymeric materials, including foams, films, adhesives and moulding grade polymers.

Includes the proceedings of the Fourth Symposium on Particles on Surfaces. This title includes papers that cover: adhesion-induced deformations of particles on surfaces; the use of atomic force microscopy in probing particle-particle adhesion; and, particle contamination in microelectronics, on spacecraft, and on optical surfaces.

Written in a narrative style with children with anxiety in mind, the story of Sammy Sloth provides them with an opportunity to relate to Sammy's thoughts, feelings, behaviours and experiences. However, children with a range of needs may benefit from the story.

Draw-along Sammy Sloth is an activity-based picture book written for children with anxiety, which encourages them to interact with the story in a creative way - through writing, drawing, scrap booking, collage and activities, and so relate to Sammy Sloth's thoughts, feelings, behaviours and experiences.

Exploring thoughts, feelings and sensations experienced by children with anxiety, this book has been created for key adults, including teachers, therapists and parents. It provides practical tools and strategies to support the child and those around them, and improves understanding of a child's needs to promote empathy and acceptance.

This book examines the advantages and disadvantages of Korean immigrant entrepreneurs in the mainstream labour market.

This text analyzes the differences in health care utilization patterns between formerly homeless families and those who had never used the resources of a shelter, and presents policy recommendations in the context of changes in welfare policies and the expansion of Medicaid managed care programmes.

Picking up where Washington Post writer Joel Garreau's book Edge City left off, co-authors analyze the growth and specialized functions (e.g. manufacturing, health services, retailing, business services, and information services) of seven types of edge cities in Ohio. Coverage includes a brief intr

Using a case-based approach, this volume focuses on constructing explanations. All chapters relate to the problem of building computer programs that can develop hypotheses about what might have caused an observed event, an ability that is a hallmark of human intelligence.

Examines adaptive signal processing techniques used in wireless communication systems. This title covers adaptive channel modeling, identification and equalization, adaptive modulation and coding, adaptive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems, and cooperative diversity. It addresses hardware implementation and reconfigurable processing.

Contains the contributions of 45 internationally distinguished mathematicians. This work covers various areas of approximation theory - written in honor of the pioneering work of Arun K Varma to the fields of interpolation and approximation of functions, including Birhoff interpolation and approximation by spline functions.

This book provides a detailed examination of the phonetics and phonology of consonant strength. It provides important new research in the science of Linguistics.

This book defends a novel theory of singular concept possession, emphasising the pragmatic requirements of singular concept possession and arguing that these must be understood to institute traditions and policies of thought.
