Mechanics of Biological Systems & Micro-and Nanomechanics, Volume 5 of the Proceedings of the 2020 SEM Annual Conference & Exposition on Experimental and Applied Mechanics, the fifth volume of seven from the Conference, brings together contributions to important areas of research and engineering.  The collection presents early findings and case studies on a wide range of topics, including:

Cell Mechanics & Traumatic Brain Injury

Micromechanical Testing

MEMS Devices and Technology

Nano-scale Deformation...

The book provides readers the informatics and data-driven models for the discovery of personalized excise prescriptions applied to different cases. Overdiagnosis or over-treatment often happened since the complex interaction among the lifestyle, genetic, and environmental factors. Sports and exercise are reported efficient to prevent or reduce the risk of diseases, but the interactions between sports/exercise and disease are personalized and complex. Translational informatics is a powerful paradigm and it promotes the transfer of big data,...

This book presents a fundamental basic overview of orthopedic biomechanics in sports medicine, with a special focus on the current methodologies used in modeling human joints, ligaments, and muscle forces.

The first part discusses the principles and materials, including the use of finite element analysis (FEA) to analyze the stress-strain response in the implant-bone interface and design.  The second part focuses on joint-specific biomechanics, highlighting the biomechanics of the knee and shoulder joints, their modeling, surgical techniques, and the clinical assessment of...

This book compares two major leisure activities – watching sport and engaging with art. It explores a range of philosophical questions that arise when sport and art are placed side by side:

• The works of Shakespeare, Rembrandt and Mozart have continued to fill playhouses, galleries and concert halls for centuries since they were created, while our interest in even the most epic sporting contests fades after just a few years, or even a single season. What explains this difference?
• Sporting contests are merely games. So why do sports fans attach such...

Learn Dan's time-tested formula that has successfully turned struggling businesses around, elevated the performance of military Commands and transformed last place NFL teams into Super Bowl Champions.

Fully illustrated and enhanced with accompanying video clips, this comprehensive text presents the clinical evaluation and management of brachial plexus injuries and reconstruction, both for adult patients and birth injuries. Divided into two main sections, part one covers adult brachial plexus injuries, discussing the relevant anatomy and biology, epidemiology, and associated injuries. The main focus, however, is on diagnosis – the clinical exam as well as neurodiagnostic and radiographic evaluation – and surgical management approaches and techniques, including nerve grafting and...
