A work on turbulent premixed combustion is important because of increased concern about the environmental impact of combustion and the search for new combustion concepts and technologies. An improved understanding of lean fuel turbulent premixed flames must play a central role in the fundamental science of these new concepts. Lean premixed flames have the potential to offer ultra-low emission levels, but they are notoriously susceptible to combustion oscillations. Thus, sophisticated control measures are inevitably required. The editors' intent is to set out the modeling aspects in the field of turbulent premixed combustion. Good progress has been made on this topic, and this cohesive volume contains contributions from international experts on various subtopics of the lean premixed flame problem.

第一本為NPO導入新創科技思維專書社會創新領域必讀經典！前Google資深工程總監、美國國際開發署創新長淬鍊20餘年從事科技產業與非營利組織的珍貴經驗結合精實創業的做法與理念提供實現社會公益最大化的有效方法創新，才能改變世界「不創新，就滅亡」，這不只適用於商業與科技領域，在社會公益領域也是最重要的關鍵指標。然而許多懷抱著從事改善貧窮、環境保育等崇高使命的組織，往往為了籌募資金、改善短期問題而疲於奔命，更遑論探討如何創新、如何以精實有效率的方法來發揮影響力。本書作者張安梅，前半生在科技產業推動許多重大創新變革，後來投身世界各地的非營利組織工作，因此得以用科技人的眼光，看見非營利組織的困境與特殊之處，提出一套名為「精實影響力」的創新方法：●設定遠大目標：不要只著眼於已經能做到的事，勇於做出改變！●從小規模做起：經由反覆迭代改良，長期下來更能帶來巨大成效。●持續不懈追求影響力：不斷探索問題，而非執著於解決方案。採用這套方法，讓非營利組織得以跳脫傳統運作限制，加速創新、改善服務品質與擴大影響力，朝向組織目標邁進。加上來自超過兩百個美國及全球組織深具啟發力的故事，讓所有非營利組織、社會企業、基金會、政府機構、慈善家、影響力投資人，或者是志工與贊助人，都可以透過本書得到豐富而務實的參考。【國內外齊聲讚譽】張安梅的《精實影響力》是我們非常推薦的一本經典……希望藉由此書，讓大家更了解社會創新所面對的挑戰及社會工作者需要的勇氣與支援，讓政府與贊助方更願意提供時間、空間與「創新資金」，支持社會工作單位的創新突破，讓產業能夠跳躍式的進步。──趨勢科技創辦人 張明正、明怡基金會執行長 鄭柏琦「精實影響力」的提出，讓我眼睛為之一亮，作者張安梅用科技人的專業與經驗，透過實證的案例解析與觀察，勾勒出第三部門經營的痛點與解方，非常值得學習與討論。──台灣地方創生基金會董事長、國家發展委員會前主任委員 陳美伶價值、成長與影響力，是公益創新的三大支柱，全書以滿滿的實際案例來說明：讓世界更好的創新社會公益並不是天方夜譚。──信義企業集團創辦人 周俊吉說到社會創新，影響力的概念非常重要。我希望各領域企業和組織人士都能對此有所了解，並在閱讀作者筆下這些擬出明確策略並奉獻投入的故事之後，也能思考他們建立的機構、生產的產品究竟如何影響整個世界。──艾瑞克‧萊斯，暢銷書《精實創業》作者 作者強調社會領域需要更好的

As Six Sigma and Lean Enterprise techniques continue to evolve and become more and more engrained in the business, it is harder and harder to track the impact of savings on a project by project basis.

This volume provides a thought-provoking perspective on the empirical and analytic study of body form and composition. The techniques used for measuring body components such as fat, water, lean tissue, bone mass and bone density are evaluated against potential 'gold standards'. The nature of regional differences, developmental changes, pathological abnormalities, and the impact of heredity and environment in shaping body composition are discussed in the context of human evolution. All those concerned with biological anthropology, both clinicians and researchers, will find this book of great interest.
