An investigation into how machines and living creatures fly and of the similarities between butterflies and Boeings paper airplanes and ploversFrom the smallest gnat to the largest aircraft all things that fly obey the same aerodynamic principles In The Simple Science of Flight Henk Tennekes investigates just how machines and creatures fly what size wings they need how much energy is required for their journeys how they cross deserts and oceans how they take off climb and soar Fascinated by the similarities between nature and technology Tennekes offers an introduction to flight that teaches by association Swans and Boeings differ in numerous ways but they follow the same aerodynamic principles Biological evolution and its technical counterpart exhibit exciting parallels What makes some airplanes successful and others misfits Why does the Boeing 747 endure but the Concorde now seem a fluke Tennekes explains the science of flight through comparisons examples equations and anecdotes The new edition of this popular book has been thoroughly revised and much expanded Highlights of the new material include a description of the incredible performance of bartailed godwits 7000 miles nonstop from Alaska to New Zealand an analysis of the convergence of modern jetliners from both Boeing and Airbus a discussion of the metabolization of energy featuring Lance Armstrong a novel treatment of the aerodynamics of drag and trailing vortices and an emphasis throughout on evolution in nature and in engineering Tennekes draws on new evidence on bird migration new windtunnel studies and data on new airliners And his analysis of the relative efficiency of planes trains and automobiles is newly relevant On a costperseat scale a 747 is more efficient than a passenger car.

Each entry contains the serving size amount, calories, total carbs, fiber, net carbs, protein, and fat in the food—making it the perfect reference tool for dieters of all kinds. Better still, any foods with less than five grams of net carbs are featured in bold, so low-carb dieters can easily see those foods that are best for them and their health.Also included are helpful low-carb eating tips, as well as great lists of low-carb snack, treat, and meal ideas, all from best-selling author and low-carb guru Dana Carpender.With Dana Carpender’s NEW Carb Counter in your pocket or purse, everything you need to stay on track and at your healthiest is at your fingertips. Swank and Dugan provide complete background information on the development of the diet and the clinical tests that have proven its effectiveness. In addition to helpful sections on the lifestyle of the M.S. patient, Swank and Dugan offer tips on sticking to the diet, equipping the kitchen, shopping for healthful food, eating out (with some pertinent information on fast-food restaurants), and keeping the careful dietary records that are essential to continuing good nutrition.This is the low-fat diet that works in reducing the number and severity of relapses in M.S. patients -- and The Multiple Sclerosis Diet Book provides the nutritious and tasty recipes that M.S. patients and their families can live with for years to come.

This book provides the theory, practice, and hands-on tools needed to resolve the medical care disputes that regularly entangle patients, family members, physicians, and other health care professionals. While these disputes may indeed raise ethical issues, they are first and foremost conflicts among individuals with complex, strongly held positions. Building on this fresh perspective, the authors make a thoughtful, systematic case for the use of mediation skills and techniques to achieve principled resolutions to troubling, often life-and-death questions. Bioethics Mediation: A Guide to Shaping Shared Solutions is a commonsense introduction to mediation for bioethics committees, consultants, and other health care professionals, making cogent arguments for the need for mediation in the medical context. It is also an invaluable guide for mediators wishing to learn more about bioethics and the complex medical conflicts so prevalent in contemporary health care. A concise overview of machine learning--computer programs that learn from data--the basis of such applications as voice recognition and driverless cars.Today, machine learning underlies a range of applications we use every day, from product recommendations to voice recognition--as well as some we don\'t yet use everyday, including driverless cars. It is the basis for a new approach to artificial intelligence that aims to program computers to use example data or past experience to solve a given problem. In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Ethem Alpaydin offers a concise and accessible overview of the new AI. This expanded edition offers new material on such challenges facing machine learning as privacy, security, accountability, and bias.Alpaydin, author of a popular textbook on machine learning, explains that as Big Data has gotten bigger, the theory of machine learning--the foundation of efforts to process that data into knowledge--has also advanced. He describes the evolution of the field, explains important learning algorithms, and presents example applications. He discusses the use of machine learning algorithms for pattern recognition artificial neural networks inspired by the human brain algorithms that learn associations between instances and reinforcement learning, when an autonomous agent learns to take actions to maximize reward. In a new chapter, he considers transparency, explainability, and fairness, and the ethical and legal implications of making decisions based on data.

Interaction design has many dimensions for example this book addresses how people deal with words read images explore physical space and think about time and motion and how actions and responses affect human behavior. Various disciplines make up interaction design such as industrial design cognitive psychology user interface design and many others. My hope is that this book is a starting point for creating a visual language to enhance the understanding of interdisciplinary theories within interaction design. The book uses concise descriptions visual metaphors and comparative diagrams to explain each term8217s meaning. Many ideas in this book are based on timeless principles that will function in varying contexts. Interdisciplinary Interaction Design Second Edition Revised and Expanded (2018). This new edition has twelve new terms corrected some mistakes and has a fresh new cover. Hopefully new readers will find this second revised-and-expanded edition just as useful as the first edition published in 2012.
