Effective evacuations can save lives. This book provides mathematical models of pedestrian movements that can be used specifically for designing feedback control laws for effective evacuation. The book also provides various feedback control laws to accomplish the effective evacuation. It book uses the hydrodynamic hyperbolic PDE macroscopic pedestrian models since they are amenable to feedback control design. The control designs are obtained through different nonlinear techniques.

In this book, psychoneurolinguists, special language pathologists/ therapists (SLP/Ts), psychologists, and other experts in the field can have a practical guide on how technology could be implemented to teach students of special needs. They will have access to the way how to teach language skills (receptive and productive skills) and language components (sound system, grammatical structure and vocabulary building) to this class of students. More importantly, they will have a good background of how to deal with each aphasic type.

In recent years, the electronic behavior of DNA molecules has received much interest ranging from interpreting experimental results to electronic based applications, including DNA sequencing and DNA-based nanotransistors. Here we study the electronic properties of poly(G)-poly(C) double stranded DNA molecules by means of the tight binding approximation to understand how the molecules act under different physical conditions. For instance, the effects of DNA tilting, stretching and compressing on the electronic properties are elucidated. Very interesting features such as a tunable energy band...

This book explores the relationship between subjective experience and the cultural, political and historical paradigms in which the individual is embedded. Providing a deep analysis of three compelling case studies of schizophrenia in Turkey, the book considers the ways in which private experience is shaped by collective structures, offering insights into issues surrounding religion, national and ethnic identity and tensions, modernity and tradition, madness, gender and individuality.

Chapters draw from cultural psychiatry, medical anthropology, and political theory to...

This book is an attempt to shed light on some language tests that can be used for aphasics and non-aphasics. Language tests used for aphasics are used as modal for all other language tests in the field. Mainly, these are CADL-2, and ALFA. For non-aphasics' language tests, the author adopted some tests that cover all language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) and language components (sound system, grammatical structure and vocabulary building) and criticized them linguistically.

The human hand is a complex apparatus. Losing a hand is an extremely traumatic event that changes forever one's life. To replace the human hand with a mechanical analogue is therefore difficult. It is simpler, as with traditional robotics, to replace individual functions with manipulators of different configurations rather than use a single multi-functional device. This book is targeted mechanical design, contact-mechanics modeling, and experimental investigations of robotic hand for prosthesis. This book is divided into six chapters. Chapter 1 is an introductory chapter. Chapter 2 presents a...

Human and social sciences are increasingly occupied with the question of who and what the human subject is and how it is constituted, specifically with regard to the sociocultural environment that holds the subject and shapes its identity. While it would be fair to argue that North American psychological literature reflects a long tradition of neglecting the collective in favor of the individual, local and global realities alike have made it impossible to maintain that tradition, and group-conscious models of identity are now proliferating. The notion of self-esteem, for instance, has long...

Computing the volume and integral points of a polytope in Rn is a very important subject in different areas of mathematics. Chapter one give a short introduction, provide a sketch of what polytope looks like and how they behave with many examples. Some methods for finding the volumeof a convex polytope are recalled. Chapter two, present some methods for computing the coefficients of Ehrhart polynomial that depend on the concepts of residue theorem in complex analysis. Chapter three, a method for finding the volume of a cyclic polytope is presented and some basic concepts and remarks about the...

This book explores an important linguistic issue related to phono syntax. It investigates the phenomenon of vowel deletion and vowel insertion in the Arabic dialects of Yemen (ADY). The book discusses the interaction between phonology and syntax in terms of how and why Yemeni people delete and/ or insert vowels in their local speech. To our knowledge, no sociolinguistic research has tackled this issue.
