Fluid Balance Hydration and Athletic Performance

Fluid Balance Hydration and Athletic Performance presents a comprehensive review of aspects relating to body fluid balance rehydration sport and physical exercise. The content is scientifically supported practical and suitably written for a range of audiences including academics (professors and students) and sports and health professionals (coaches physical educators nutritionists and physicians) as well as athletes and individuals involved in physical activities. Compared to other books previously published in this area this book does not limit body hydration issues to the average or elite adult athlete. Rather it addresses aspects relevant to a range of individuals of different ages (adolescents and master athletes) competing in various sports. In recognition of the growing number of individuals with specific medical conditions who have been exercising more and even participating in competitive sports separate chapters on prevalent diseases or medical conditions associated with risks of body fluid homeostasis also are presented. To achieve such a complete and qualified publication the book is written by top experts and professionals experienced in their respective research areas. It presents the basics of fluid balance and provides updates on controversial fluid intake-related issues such as hyponatremia optimal recovery intermittent sports and perceptual responses.

Navigating the Engineering Organization A New Engineer's Guide

Navigating the Engineering Organization A New Engineer's Guide

Transitioning new engineers into professionals who can blend in and contribute to the technical organization is at best doubtful. Trained in the nuts and bolts of a technical subject new engineers have little to no training on the soft skills of how to work within an organization. This robust guide shows new engineers how to quickly operate and succeed within their new engineering organization. Navigating the Engineering Organization: A New Engineer’s Guide focuses on the group behaviors of technical organizations. It provides a rigorous organizational framework to operate from and delivers guidance using a dual approach of academic insight and professional experience. Through numerous case studies the book presents actual experiential guidance and offers a method on how to extend the insights covered in the book and turn them into a valuable personal model valid throughout the engineer’s career. It helps readers understand quickly the unique values and expectations within their new engineering organization and guides them in discovering the proper ways to respond to these expectations. They can then act on these insights to deliver successful results now and throughout their careers. The approach and goals found in this book provide a building block to help all new engineers cross the Great Divide from student to professional and succeed in their new engineering organization. | Navigating the Engineering Organization A New Engineer's Guide

Mechatronics and Robotics New Trends and Challenges

Mechatronics and Robotics New Trends and Challenges

The term “mechatronics” was coined in 1969 merging “mecha” from mechanism and “tronics” from electronics to reflect the original idea at the basis of this discipline that is the integration of electrical and mechanical systems into a single device. The spread of this term and of mechatronics itself has been growing in the years including new aspects and disciplines like control engineering computer engineering and communication/information engineering. Nowadays mechatronics has a well-defined and fundamental role in strict relation with robotics. Drawing a sharp border between mechatronics and robotics is impossible as they share many technologies and objectives. Advanced robots could be defined as mechatronic devices equipped with a “smart brain” but there are also up-to-date mechatronic devices used in tight interaction with humans that are governed by smart architectures (for example for safety purposes). Aim of this book is to offer a wide overview of new research trends and challenges for both mechatronics and robotics through the contribution of researchers from different institutions providing their view on specific subjects they consider as “hot topics” in both fields with attention to new fields of application new challenges to the research communities and new technologies available. The reader of this book will enjoy the various contributions as they have been prepared with actual applications in mind along a journey from advanced actuators and sensors to human-robot interaction through robot control navigation planning and programming issues. The book presents several state-of-the-art solutions like multiple-stage actuation to cope with conflicting specification of large motion-spans ultra-high accuracy model-based control for high-tech mechatronic systems modern approaches of software systems engineering to robotics aand humanoids for human assistance. The reader can also find new techniques in approaching the design of mechatronic systems in some possible industrial and service robotics scenarios with a particular attention for the interaction between humans and mechanisms. | Mechatronics and Robotics New Trends and Challenges

Interpretation of Algebraic Inequalities Practical Engineering Optimisation and Generating New Knowledge

Interpretation of Algebraic Inequalities Practical Engineering Optimisation and Generating New Knowledge

This book introduces a new method based on algebraic inequalities for optimising engineering systems and processes with applications in mechanical engineering materials science electrical engineering reliability engineering risk management and operational research. This book shows that the application potential of algebraic inequalities in engineering and technology is far-reaching and certainly not restricted to specifying design constraints. Algebraic inequalities can handle deep uncertainty associated with design variables and control parameters. With the method presented in this book powerful new knowledge about systems and processes can be generated through meaningful interpretation of algebraic inequalities. This book demonstrates how the generated knowledge can be put into practice through covering the algebraic inequalities suitable for interpretation in different contexts and describing how to apply this knowledge to enhance system and process performance. Depending on the specific interpretation knowledge applicable to different systems from different application domains can be generated from the same algebraic inequality. Furthermore an important class of algebraic inequalities has been introduced that can be used for optimising systems and processes in any area of science and technology provided that the variables and the separate terms of the inequalities are additive quantities. With the presented various examples and solutions this book will be of interest to engineers students and researchers in the field of optimisation engineering design reliability engineering risk management and operational research. | Interpretation of Algebraic Inequalities Practical Engineering Optimisation and Generating New Knowledge
