We frequently talk about “changing society,”2 but society has always been changing. Today, “change” seems to have become an intrusive concept, possibly because change occurs at a much faster pace than before, and the consequences are much more extensive.3 Even small changes have greater consequences than we were previously aware of. “Chaos theory” predicts that a butterfly flapping …
A Fluid-Structure Interaction model is studied for aortic flow, based on Koiter’s shell model for the structure, Navier–Stokes equations for the fluid and transpiration for the coupling. It accounts for wall deformation while yet working on a fixed geometry. The model is established first. Then a numerical approximation is proposed and some tests are given. The model is also used for optima…
The library is written in C and C++ and runs under Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. Th ere is active development on interfaces for Python, Ruby, Matlab, and other languages. OpenCV was designed for computational efficiency and with a strong focus on real- time applications. OpenCV is written in optimized C and can take advantage of multicore processors. If you desire further automatic optimization…
This book is not just one of the many introductions to Human Resource Management that are published, year after year, for use in HRM classes. Authors of those introduc- tions face many challenges, such as the need to produce something that is both theoreti- cally sound and practically valuable, or to find a way to integrate discussions on a vari- ety of topics into one comprehensible teaching t…
MySQL (pronounced “My Ess Cue Ell”) is more than just “the world’s most popular open source database,” as the developers at the MySQL AB corporation (http://www .mysql.com) claim. This modest-sized database has introduced millions of everyday computer users and amateur researchers to the world of powerful information systems. MySQL is a relatively recent entrant into the well-establis…
One approach to answering this question and perhaps the most conventional in an ‘evidence-based medicine’ medical culture is by conducting meta-analyses. In terms of ‘level of evidence’, the meta-analysis is considered strongest [1]. However, whilst achieving much statistically by aggregating trials and synthesizing data to achieve greater precision of outcome estimates, the meta-analy…
SafetyMAP (Safety Management Achievement Program) is an audit tool that provides the means to undertake an independent audit and review of an organization’s health and safety management system. This helps to establish safer working environments that will protect people at work by eliminating, or better managing, health and safety hazards. This is consistent with the requirements of health and…
