Seeing ourselves through technology : How we use selfies, blogs and wearable devices to see and shape ourselves
This book is open access under a CC BY license. Selfies, blogs and lifelogging devices help us understand ourselves, building on long histories of written, visual and quantitative modes of self-representations. This book uses examples to explore the balance between using technology to see ourselves and allowing our machines to tell us who we are.
Security in ad-hoc and sensor networks ; 1st European Workshop, ESAS 2004, Heidelberg, Germany, August 6, 2004, Revised Selected Papers
Ad hoc and sensor networks are making their way from research to real-world deployments. Body and personal-area networks, intelligent homes, environmental monitoring or inter-vehicle communications: there is almost nothing left that is not going to be smart and networked. While a great amount of research has been devoted to the pure networking aspects, ad hoc and sensor networks will not be successfully deployed if security, dependability, and privacy issues are not addressed adequately.

Science and Art of Porcelain Laminate Veneers
Details the expanding field of porcelain laminate veneers in aesthetic dentistry. It guides the aesthetic dentist in understanding the needs of the patient and formulating a treatment plan that includes not only aesthetic considerations, such as colour and smile design, but also occlusal, periodontal and functional requirements. In addition, it discusses the use of porcelain laminate veneers in diastema closure, the treatment of tetracycline discolouration and in conjunction wih orthodontic therapy. New techniques to ensure minimally invasive tooth preparation and maximum space creation for the dental technician are explored, and impression materials for porcelain laminate veneers are compared.
Salute & equilibrio nutrizionale = Health & nutritional balance
L'obesità costituisce il problema nutrizionale più frequente nei paesi industrializzati. In Italia, un bambino su quattro è soprappeso, uno su dieci è obeso. Inoltre, i risultati di recenti indagini epidemiologiche suggeriscono che il numero dei bambini obesi sembra destinato ad aumentare ulteriormente. L'obesità esordita in età giovanile costituisce un problema soprattutto a causa di due fattori: la persistenza dell'obesità in età adulta e l'elevato rischio di morbilità: in più del 50% dei casi il bambino obeso mantiene il suo eccesso ponderale anche in età adulta. L'estensione del fenomeno obesità ed il suo progressivo aggravarsi impongono la realizzazione di efficaci interventi preventivi e terapeutici. Questo volume riporta i più recenti aggiornamenti sui fattori genetici, metabolici e psicologici coinvolti nel determinare lo sviluppo dell'obesità nell'età evolutiva, e suggerimenti basati sull'evidenza scientifica per il suo trattamento.
Restorative techniques in paediatric dentistry : An illustrated guide to conventional and contemporary approaches
Illustrates the various clinical techniques for restoration, this revised and updated new edition offers new material on treatment planning, local analgesia, biomaterials, biological and contemporary approaches, and aesthetic crowns. The book addresses the specific needs of the paediatric patient and helps the clinician manage the restoration with those needs in mind. As a classic volume, it is essential for every dentist working with children and adolescent patients.
Respiratory System and Artificial Ventilation
Respiratory system and artificial ventilation are key topics when considering the main aspects of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine: assisted ventilation techniques are essential to preserve the patient’s life, but just as any other treatments they can be also extremely pernicious. Scientific research and clinical evidences are equally fundamental in investigating the best methods to provide effective support and increase positive outcomes. It is obviously desirable that this knowledge and know-how are widely shared among scientists and practitioners. With this purpose, the book includes contributions by an international panel of authors and gathers their varied and valuable expertise up to illustrate principles, study results and case experiences on respiratory physiopathology, respiratory mechanics, respiratory functions monitoring, artificial ventilation and diagnostic radiology in respiratory dysfunction failure.
Resin-Bonded Fixed Dental Prostheses : Minimally invasive - esthetic - reliable
Nowadays single-retainer metal-ceramic and all-ceramic resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs) often present a minimally invasive alternative to single-tooth implants or other conventional prosthetic methods. With a growing body of evidence showing that implants placed in the esthetic zone of younger patients present a high risk of esthetic problems in later years, RBFDPs made from zirconia ceramics are experiencing a great renaissance. This book details the protocols necessary to achieve success when replacing incisors with single-retainer RBFDPs. Although the method is technically sensitive, it is simple and extremely reliable when the correct procedures are implemented.
Renzo Piano: Space : Detail - Light
The Pritzker laureate Renzo Piano is recognized worldwide as one of the most renowned architects of our time. Central elements of his aesthetics include the playful use of natural light, the transparency of his buildings and their fine detailing. This publication documents nine museum buildings
Reframing the Alhambra: Architecture, Poetry, Textiles and Court Ceremonial
Resolves that impasse by investigating the neglected, interdisciplinary contexts of medieval poetics and optics and through comparative study of Islamic court ceremonials. This reframing enables the reconstruction of the underlying, integrated aesthetic, focusing on the harmonious interrelationship between diverse artistic media – architecture, poetry and textiles – in the experience of the beholder, resulting in a new understanding of the Alhambra.
Reconstruction de lavant-pied = Forefoot reconstruction
Since 1991 in France, Louis Samuel Barouk and his team, including Pierre Barouk, have contributed to the development of techniques that have significantly improved the postoperative period and outcomes. These include scarf osteotomy, big toe osteotomy, Weil osteotomies of the lateral metatarsals, and the development of the proximal release system for the gastrocnemius muscles. In parallel, the authors have developed implants and instrumentation specific to this forefoot surgery. The authors seek to share their passion for forefoot surgery and its continuous improvement, as the mission of this orthopedic specialty is as much about correcting deformities and improving footwear as it is about aesthetics.
Re-Centring the City : Global Mutations of Socialist Modernity
What is the role of monumentality, verticality and centrality in the twenty-first century? Are palaces, skyscrapers and grand urban ensembles obsolete relics of twentieth-century modernity, inexorably giving way to a more humble and sustainable de-centred urban age? Or do the aesthetics and politics of pomp and grandiosity rather linger and even prosper in the cities of today and tomorrow? Re-Centring the City zooms in on these questions, taking as its point of departure the experience of Eurasian socialist cities, where twentieth-century high modernity arguably saw its most radical and furthest-reaching realisation.
Reading Breath in Literature
Presents five different approaches to reading breath in literature, in response to texts from a range of historical, geographical and cultural environments. Breath, for all its ubiquity in literary texts, has received little attention as a transhistorical literary device. Drawing together scholars of Medieval Romance, Early Modern Drama, Fin de Siècle Aesthetics, American Poetics and the Postcolonial Novel, this book offers the first transhistorical study of breath in literature. At the same time, it shows how the study of breath in literature can contribute to recent developments in the Medical Humanities.
Radiation Effects in Solids
The purpose of this Course was to provide ASI students with a comprehensive overview of fundamental principles and relevant technical issues associated with the behavior of solids exposed to high-energy radiation. These issues are important to the development of materials for existing fission reactors or future fusion and advanced reactors for energy production; to the development of electronic devices such as high-energy detectors; and to the development of novel materials for electronic and photonic applications (particularly on the nanoscale).

Progress in Cryptology - INDOCRYPT 2004 ; 5th International Conference on Cryptology in India, Chennai, India, December 20-22, 2004, Proceedings
The INDOCRYPT series of conferences started in 2000. INDOCRYPT 2004 was the ?fth one in this series. The popularity of this series is increasing every year. The number of papers submitted to INDOCRYPT 2004 was 181, out of which 147 papers conformed to the specifications in the call for papers and, therefore, were accepted to the review process. Those 147 submissions were spread over 22 countries. Only 30 papers were accepted to this proceedings. We should note that many of the papers that were not accepted were of good quality but only the top 30 papers were accepted. Each submission received at least three independent - views. The selection process also included a Web-based discussion phase. We made efforts to compare the submissions with other ongoing conferences around the world in order to ensure detection of double-submissions, which were not - lowed by the call for papers. We wish to acknowledge the use of the Web-based review software developed by Bart Preneel, Wim Moreau, and Joris Claessens in conducting the review process electronically. The software greatly facilitated the Program Committee in completing the review process on time. We would like to thank C´ edric Lauradoux and the team at INRIA for their total support in conguring and managing the Web-based submission and review softwares.
