Enhance manual therapy with a full understanding of the body's interconnected fascial networks! A worldwide bestseller, Anatomy Trains: Myofascial Meridians for Manual Therapists and Movement Professionals uses a unique whole-systems approach to demonstrate how patterns of pain or strain communicate through the myofascial webbing - giving rise to new treatment strategies for improving posture and movement function. This fifth edition is updated with the latest evidence-based research and includes a new, larger library of videos, including animations and webinars with the author. Written by practitioner and lecturer Thomas W.Myers, this text uses the metaphor of railway or train lines to show the effects that interconnecting myofascial and muscles have on the sites beyond their immediate locality. An ebook version - included with print purchase - allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights,

Future of Internet of Bio-nano Things in Personalized Healthcare: Applications and Challenges explores the core principles of nanomaterials and the sensing paradigms essential for medical devices based on nano-sensors technology, examining the latest theoretical and practical developments in Internet of Bio-nano Things (IoBNT) for health applications. This book explores how IoBNT facilitates the detection and treatment of diseases within the human body through communication between an in-body network of nanodevices and an external control unit. Readers will discover the transformative benefits of IoBNT, which integrates information and communication technologies with medical and nano-bio sensor devices to enhance patient care. The book highlights advances in telemedicine, including highly functional electronic medical devices like implantable and wearable devices engineered through nanotechnology. It details real-time case studies on smart drug delivery, edge computing, and personalize

How hacking cultures drive contemporary capitalism and the future of innovation.In Resistance to the Current, Johan Söderberg and Maxigas examine four historical case studies of hacker movements and their role in shaping the twenty-first-century’s network society. Based on decades of field work and analysis, this intervention into current debates situates an exploding variety of hacking practices within the contradictions of capitalism. Depoliticized accounts of computing cultures and collaborative production miss their core driver, write Söderberg and Maxigas: the articulation of critique and its recuperation into innovations. Drawing on accounts of building, developing, and running community wireless networks, 3D printers, hackerspaces, and chat protocols, the authors develop a theoretical framework of critique and recuperation to examine how hackers―who have long held a reputation for being underground rebels―transform their outputs from communal, underground experiments to commerci

Quentin Tarantino’s long-awaited first work of fiction―at once hilarious, delicious, and brutal―is the always surprising, sometimes shocking new novel based on his Academy Award- winning film.The sunlit studio back lots and the dark watering holes of Hollywood are the setting for this audacious, hilarious, disturbing novel about life in the movie colony, circa 1969. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood tells the story of washed-up actor Rick Dalton. Once Rick had his own television series, a famous western called Bounty Law. But “it ain’t been that time in a long time” and now Rick’s only regular parts are as the heavy, ready to be bested by whichever young “swingin’ dick” the networks want to make a new star out of come pilot season. When a talent agent approaches Rick about starring in Italian Westerns (“Eye-talian Westerns”?), it only ignites a new crisis of confidence for the perpetually insecure actor. And then there’s Rick’s stunt double, Cliff Booth, a war hero who killed more Japanese

This modern and self-contained book offers a clear and accessible introduction to the important topic of machine learning with neural networks. In addition to describing the mathematical principles of the topic, and its historical evolution, strong connections are drawn with underlying methods from statistical physics and current applications within science and engineering. Closely based around a well-established undergraduate course, this pedagogical text provides a solid understanding of the key aspects of modern machine learning with artificial neural networks, for students in physics, mathematics, and engineering. Numerous exercises expand and reinforce key concepts within the book and allow students to hone their programming skills. Frequent references to current research develop a detailed perspective on the state-of-the-art in machine learning research.

Within a short period of time, South Africa has made remarkable progress in the adoption of mobile and Internet technologies. In this landmark study, R. Sooryamoorthy examines the development of communication patterns, social contacts and networks in South Africa. Based on pioneering quantitative and qualitative data, he analyses trends in changing media use in Africa, showing the development of the use of new media for communication by South Africans of all ages, races and genders in relation to the development of media infrastructure, its cost and government policy. It shows how people use the media for communication purposes that affirm or break their social contacts and networks, and how they apply media to establish, re-establish or maintain social relationships. This book will be of interest to those researching the growth of communication technology in Africa, as well as those involved in the wider fields of development studies and economics.

How do personal networks emerge from social contexts? How do these evolve during the course of a lifetime? How are relationships established, maintained, connected, disrupted? How does the structure of a network evolve as people face transitions and events? Based on a classic text originally published in France and that has become the standard on the empirical study of social networks there, for the first time, a network analysis perspective is extended from contexts and social circles to relationships and life events through empirical studies. Following in the tradition of personal network studies, this contribution to the field of structural analysis in Sociology offers both a synthesis of knowledge and original results from two immense surveys carried out in France. This volume proposes an original theory grounded in relational dynamics, offering novel perspectives on individual social relations over the course of a lifetime through the context of personal networks, access to social
