Sommario/riassunto |
|
Introduction to Biomechatronics provides fundamental knowledge of mechanical and electronic (mechatronic) components and systems and their interaction with human biology to assist or replace limbs, senses, and even organs damaged by trauma, birth defects, or disease. The first half of the book provides the engineering background to understand all the components of a biomechatronic system: the human subject, stimulus or actuation, transducers and sensors, signal conditioning elements, recording and display, and feedback elements. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book collects ten complementary essays on different aspects of financial sector policy for developing and transitional economies. The essays, by leading theoreticians and practitioners, draw on the history |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and experience of financial sector policy reforms to derive lessons for the future. The collection is carefully chosen to cover the major contemporary issues, including both crisis avoidance and institution-building. The increasing importance of non-bank finance and ofinternational linkages (including dollarization) for small economies are given special attention. |
