An Object-Oriented Python Cookbook in Quantum Information Theory and Quantum Computing

Neurological Rehabilitation Spasticity and Contractures in Clinical Practice and Research

Neurological Rehabilitation Spasticity and Contractures in Clinical Practice and Research

This book is the first attempt at bringing together a volume of work from a range of professionals with an interest in spasticity. The framework for the definition was developed in part by the authors contributing chapters that make up this volume. The book represents the current state-of-the-art regarding definition measurement pathophysiology (all state-of-the-art summaries) and simultaneously gives clinicians guidance on clinical management. This work combines coverage of both spasticity and contractures as these two phenomena are often closely interrelated. Current researchers do not differentiate between these individual impairments and as such there is significant confusion in the literature. This book discusses both conditions and then separates them into their respective components. If these two conditions co-exist (which is generally the case) then the management of a patient will need to be customized to individual clinical presentation. The clinical sections of the book are all written by currently practicing and research active clinicians and the earlier chapters are written by researchers currently working on spasticity. In summary this book: Provides information that is clinically relevant and strongly researched Includes clinical studies covering both spasticity and contractures which is unique Presents editors and contributors that are world-class experts Takes a cookbook approach to measurements in clinical studies and research Contains extensive references that are included at the end of each chapter | Neurological Rehabilitation Spasticity and Contractures in Clinical Practice and Research

Design Engineer's Handbook

Design Engineer's Handbook

Student design engineers often require a cookbook approach to solving certain problems in mechanical engineering. With this focus on providing simplified information that is easy to retrieve retired mechanical design engineer Keith L. Richards has written Design Engineer’s Handbook. This book conveys the author’s insights from his decades of experience in fields ranging from machine tools to aerospace. Sharing the vast knowledge and experience that has served him well in his own career this book is specifically aimed at the student design engineer who has left full- or part-time academic studies and requires a handy reference handbook to use in practice. Full of material often left out of many academic references this book includes important in-depth coverage of key topics such as: Effects of fatigue and fracture in catastrophic failures Lugs and shear pins Helical compression springs Thick-walled or compound cylinders Cam and follower design Beams and torsion Limits and fits and gear systems Use of Mohr’s circle in both analytical and experimental stress analysis This guide has been written not to replace established primary reference books but to provide a secondary handbook that gives student designers additional guidance. Helping readers determine the most efficiently designed and cost-effective solutions to a variety of engineering problems this book offers a wealth of tables graphs and detailed design examples that will benefit new mechanical engineers from all walks. | Design Engineer's Handbook

Measuring Workplace Performance

Measuring Workplace Performance

Most Fortune 1000 companies still struggle with workspace planning and design issues. They invest millions of dollars each year with the expectation that new buildings and major renovations will help transform their culture support innovation strengthen desired behaviors and increase organizational effectiveness. And let's not forget reducing costs. But there is rarely any actual measurement of the success of a new workplace against specific business or design goals (apart from cost savings). Even less often is there any ongoing measurement program to assess and improve the quality of the workplace. Measuring Workplace Performance Second Edition explores a fundamentally new way of thinking about how organizations behave and change and what this means for planning and measuring the success of the facilities that house them. This is not a planning guide or a step by step design cookbook. Rather author Michael O'Neill presents a thought-provoking biological model for thinking about organizations and workplaces describes the tools to gather information and analyze success and presents plenty of scientific case studies with hard performance and financial metrics. O'Neill addresses issues such as:What are the effects of adding flexibility into facility and workplace design in terms of improving employee and organizational performance?How do we measure the performance of facilities in terms of supporting desired behaviors (like communication collaboration) efficient business processes and other concrete performance/financial improvements?Using real-world case studies across a variety of industries O'Neill shows the types of performance measures that leading-edge companies use as well as the improvements they attain by incorporating flexibility and control into their workspaces. He uses the data from these studies to create models showing credible links between specific design features and behavioral and business process outco

Managing the PSTN Transformation A Blueprint for a Successful Migration to IP-Based Networks

Managing the PSTN Transformation A Blueprint for a Successful Migration to IP-Based Networks

While there are many scholarly books and papers that cover the technical issues behind the public switched telephone network (PSTN) migration few books describe exactly how to manage the migration process economically. Filling this need Managing the PSTN Transformation: A Blueprint for a Successful Migration to IP-Based Networks reflects the latest understanding of the challenges behind migrating customers from the old PSTN network to an IP infrastructure. The IP transformation blueprint described in this book is not a theoretical cookbook that describes how this could work. Instead the book presents a blueprint that is the product of countless hours of work by hundreds of individuals at Deutsche Telekom (DT) over almost two years. The book presents insights gained as the DT team migrated the entire public switched telephone network in Macedonia to an Internet protocol-based platform. It illustrates the various types of challenges the team faced in integrating complex systems including flight control at their airports alarms for fire and police response and large enterprise customers. Detailing new conceptual approaches and the best practices developed for ensuring knowledge transfer within the DT group the book presents the information in a step-by-step manner to enable you to easily adapt the blueprint for particular service provider requirements. Since successful migration relies on key aspects beyond the technological side this work provides you with a product portfolio roadmap migration plan IT roadmap business case framework and a go-to-market plan. Although the book discusses the experiences of the Deutsche Telekom team as they worked to migrate the telephone network in Macedonia to an Internet protocol-based platform the IP transformation blueprint and lessons learned presented can easily be scaled up and applied to any market around the world. | Managing the PSTN Transformation A Blueprint for a Successful Migration to IP-Based Networks
