      Determining what values of freeplay are acceptable is a crucial question to the aviation industry. Current airworthiness regulations are extremely strict, particularly for all-moveable control surfaces, necessitating frequent and very expensive maintenance, even for new aircraft. Coming up with a way to rigorously calculate maximum safe freeplay limits allows commercial airlines and private air transport companies to be compliant with safety standards, but also to budget accurately from a financial standpoint.Control Surface Freeplay: Mathematical Modeling, Analysis, and Computation takes a one-stop-shop approach that will allow readers to thoroughly understand the problem by first equipping them with the necessary engineering concepts and mathematical tools to then proceed to find the appropriate solution by using state-of-the-art computing technologies. Classical freeplay problems are explored in a palatable and carefully crafted manner to reinforce modeling techniques and methods of analysis to obtain important and meaningful results. Finally, recent advances and new trends in the field are provided for the interested readers.This comprehensive work provides a useful reference to both new and experienced industry practitioners and academics who wish to find the key information they need from a single source.

      While developments in the focus of female athlete health have progressed, specific focus on the pelvic floor in sports medicine is lacking. Yet pelvic floor dysfunction has significant implications for athlete engagement, performance, and wellbeing. Sports Medicine and the Pelvic Floor: Science to Practice addresses a traditionally unspoken about topic, riddled with taboo, and uncovers the evidence informed insights into the role and function of the pelvic floor and its relevance for consideration in the same way as sports medicine considers all other regions of the body. The book addresses the pelvic floor - what it is, how it functions, and what can go wrong. It covers what to do when an athlete presents with symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction and how to support athletes in sport, helping manage/alleviate symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction, with the goal of maintaining or returning the athlete to sport while safeguarding their long term pelvic health. Sports Medicine and the Pelvic Floor: Science to Practice identifies key gaps to inform future studies for researchers and guides clinicans on how to screen, treat and rehabilitate an athlete. Written by both clinicans and researchers in the field for anyone working with or treating female athletes.

      Presently, virtually no areas on Earth remain sheltered from the arrival and establishment of non-native plants, insects, and animals, in large part due to human activities. Failure to address this issue may have dire consequences, including disruption of vital ecological processes, loss of agricultural, forestry, and fishery resources, and even serious disease epidemics within human populations. At the same time, most non-native species are not invasive, and attempts to eradicate them may themselves result in environmental, economic, and even social damage. Non-Native Species: Understanding the Impacts on Ecosystems and Societies provides a comprehensive introduction to the issues surrounding invasion biology, which is a prominent, but sometimes controversial, area of applied biology. It will cover the mechanisms of natural and human-mediated biological invasions, their consequences from ecological, economic, political, and ethical perspectives, and discuss management options available for prevention and/or mitigation of the negative impacts of invasive species.Written by an entomologist who studies invasive insects and plants and has spent over 20 years teaching a course on biological invasions, Non-Native Species: Understanding the Impacts on Ecosystems and Societies offers anecdotes, insights, and case studies from the author’s own work and research. This book is an ideal reference for early career researchers with an interest in invasion ecology, or an ideal course companion for students at the undergraduate and graduate levels enrolled in courses on invasive species, non-native species, or biological invasions, particularly those who plan to major, minor, or concentrate in entomology.
