    • English
    Sports Biomechanics: Theories, Examples, and Data Analysis provides mechanical theories, data-based examples, and step-by-step analyses in MATLAB, giving a comprehensive understanding of the process of performing biomechanical analysis in sports. The book connects theories with principles of data collection and offers specific data analysis techniques. It addresses gaps among theories, raw data from various collection methods, different calculations to process raw data in MATLAB, and the extraction of variables of interest to quantify sports performance and injury risk. Sample raw data, videos, figures, and MATLAB scripts are provided, along with theories to calculate key parameters in different sporting events and movements.Readers are encouraged to replicate the data collection and data analyses listed in the book and translate the knowledge and skills to a different setting. While this book covers the data analyses in MATLAB, programming skills can be related to other software with similar language environments to help readers ask questions and understand different parameters when using software performing automatic data processing.

    Contemporary Financial Intermediation, Fifth Edition offers a distinctive approach to the study of financial markets and institutions by presenting an integrated portrait that puts information and economic reasoning at the core. The book explores the implications of the information technology revolution that characterizes the financial services industry with digitization and fintech as important manifestations. Sections explore the subtlety, plasticity, and fragility of financial institutions and credit markets, and the ramifications for risk management (including cyber risk). This textbook demands more in terms of quantitative skills and analysis, but its ability to teach about the forces shaping the financial world is unmatched. For the financial sector, the best preprofessional training explains the reasons why markets, institutions, and regulators evolve the way they do, why we suffer recurring financial crises, how we typically react to them, and how digitization and fintech will affect financial services and the industry at large. This book provides students with a complete foundation on the subject, presenting a strong basis for learning and understanding key challenges surrounding the management and operations of financial institutions and their competitive environment.

    Magnetic resonance now has a history exceeding 70 years. Not only has the range of applications of magnetic resonance-based techniques grown exponentially but so too has the literature. Consequently, a distillation and synthesis of the literature is in itself an extremely important research tool, providing an efficient means to take newcomers to the research frontiers and keeping experienced researchers aware of contemporary practice.Since 1968 Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy been at the vanguard of reviewing the magnetic resonance literature. Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy covers magnetic resonance in all its forms, including theory, experiment, applications, and interconnections with other techniques. It also provides the opportunity to make coherent aspects of magnetic resonance that were scattered and opaque. Historical articles are also welcomed.Potential authors are encouraged to consult with the Editor.William S. PriceWestern Sydney University, NSW, Australiae-mail address: w.price@westernsydne...
