Sommario/riassunto

The first two papers in this e-book give a global perspective on Information Management issues. The remaining papers are security-focused, and have been selected for inclusion from the International Symposium on Human Aspects of Information Security & Assurance (HAISA 2007), which took place in Plymouth, UK, on 10 July 2007. The theme of the event reflected that a significant aspect of protection comes down to the attitudes, awareness, behaviour and capabilities of the people involved.

Sommario/riassunto

This book presents the latest techniques in amputation rehabilitation and summarizes the most recent research findings in the field of bionic limb reconstruction. Divided into seven parts written by experts in the field, it provides valuable information on e.g. upper extremity injuries, psychological considerations, prosthetic engineering, and surgical and rehabilitation strategies. Illustrative figures and photos of real-life settings further assist understanding. This book is of interest not only for plastic surgeons, but also for hand surgeons, orthopedic and trauma surgeons as well as therapists, prosthetists and engineers.

Sommario/riassunto

The book presents the life and works of one of Germany's most famous computer scientists, Carl Adam Petri. It is written in a vivid and entertaining manner, providing an in-depth discussion of the background behind Petri's best-known contribution to computer science, the Petri net. In this way the book can be read as a first introduction to nets, but it also covers the theoretical, physical and philosophical foundations behind nets, thus facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the wider range of Petri's works. The book is intended for readers with a previous knowledge in computer science, as well as for “interested non-professionals”, who want to get to know a remarkable personality of contemporary science.
