English
Human-Machine Interface for Intelligent Vehicles: Design Methodology and Cognitive Evaluation examines the fields of designing and developing intelligent design and intelligent vehicle driving evaluation by using virtual reality, augmented reality, and other technologies. The book explains the methodologies and systems of interactive design, user evaluation and testing using virtual reality technology and augmented reality technology in intelligent cockpit design. With the rising prominence of electric vehicles and automatic driving (assisted) technology, intelligent vehicles are becoming a reality.Compared to traditional interactive design, artificial intelligence provides new opportunities and challenges for the interactive design of intelligent cockpit space, especially under the condition of intelligent assisted driving, the driver's behavior performance, multimodal interactive display interface design and evaluation.
Neurologic Channelopathies
1st Edition
Volume 203
August 20, 2024
English
Neurological Channelopathies, Volume 203 begins with an introductory overview highlighting common mechanistic themes that cut across different CNS and PNS presentations, but that also have potential for common treatment approaches, considering classification, genetics, and fundamental physiology of ion channels. Subsequent chapters present a detailed consideration of all genetic and immunological channelopathies. Each chapter considers Pathophysiological underpinnings - genetic or immunological; Clinical presentations; Diagnostic approach; and Treatment and management.In the last 15 years, a combination of detailed clinical, genetic, molecular electrophysiological... and immunological research has combined to result in a deep understanding of a subgroup of neurological diseases spanning the central and peripheral nervous system and which have become known collectively as the Neurological Channelopathies. Although it was originally considered that significant ion channel dysfunction would not be compatible with life, we now know this is often not the case, although severe disease can often be the result. Given these major advances, it is now the right time to combine this knowledge into a single HCN volume dedicated to the topics at hand.
Homogeneous Carbonylation and Hydroformylation Reactions
1st Edition

English
Homogeneous Carbonylation and Hydroformylation Reactions, a volume is in the Advances in Homogeneous Catalysis series, is split into two sections. The first covers the homogeneous carbonylation of various chemicals, such as methanol, methyl acetate, esters, and ethers. In addition, some common carbonylation homogeneous processes such as water-gas shift and Fischer–Tropsch reactions are included. The second part describes hydroformylation processes like cobalt and rhodium based reactions. Both parts cover the design of catalytic reactors, industrial applications, economic assessment and environmental impacts, providing detailed discussions of the subject from both a chemistry and engineering perspective.
Current Trends in Estuarine and Coastal Dynamics

English
Recent Trends in Estuarine and Coastal Dynamics: Observations and Modelling is a thorough reference guide on the most recent trends and developments in observing and modelling of estuaries and coastal oceans. The coasts cover a diverse range of ecosystems within marine, estuarine, and freshwater environments. They are some of the most heavily populated and visited areas and are also some of the most threatened natural habitats. Human activities like sewage discharge, overfishing, navigation channel dredging, land reclamation, the construction of shipping ports and marine plastics are also responsible for coastal pollution and degradation.This book focuses on current studies on sediment transport dynamics and hydrodynamics of these environments and presents thorough case studies that aim to help students and researchers working in the field.
