Technology and Hearing Loss: Exciting Developments -- Epilogue -- Appendix Resources for the Hard of Hearing -- IndexSome 28 million people in America and 350 million people worldwide live with hearing loss. How do these people and their families cope? What are their experiences of pain, humor, and hope? What support do medicine and technology now offer them, and what is on the horizon? In this engaging and practical book, David Myers, who has himself suffered gradual hearing loss, explores the problems faced by the hard of hearing at home and at work and provides information on the new technology and groundbreaking surgical procedures that are available.Drawing on both his own experiences and his expertise as a social psychologist, Myers recounts how he has coped with hearing loss and how he has incorporated technological aids into his life. The family and friends of the hard of hearing also face adjustments. Myers addresses their situation and provides advice for them on how best to alert loved ones to a hearing problem, persuade them to seek assistance, and encourage them to adjust to and use hearing aids.DeafnessPopular worksHearing disordersPopular worksHearing aidsElectronic books.DeafnessHearing disordersHearing aids.617.8Myers David G., 328638DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910452342303321A Quiet World2451539UNINA05027nam 22007455 450 991029923660332120200701121431.03-319-13701-810.1007/978-3-319-13701-8(CKB)3710000000377987(EBL)2095387(SSID)ssj0001465265(PQKBManifestationID)11919347(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001465265(PQKBWorkID)11472080(PQKB)10451397(DE-He213)978-3-319-13701-8(MiAaPQ)EBC2095387(PPN)184890411(EXLCZ)99371000000037798720150318d2015 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrCloud Portability and Interoperability Issues and Current Trends /by Beniamino Di Martino, Giuseppina Cretella, Antonio Esposito1st ed. 2015.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2015.1 online resource (132 p.)SpringerBriefs in Computer Science,2191-5768Description based upon print version of record.3-319-13700-X Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.1 Cloud Portability and Interoperability -- 2 Methodologies for Cloud Portability and Interoperability -- 3 Cross-platform Cloud APIs -- 4 Ready to go solutions -- 5 Research Initiatives and Emerging Standards.This book offers readers a quick, comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the most important methodologies, technologies, APIs and standards related to the portability and interoperability of cloud applications and services, illustrated by a number of use cases representing a variety of interoperability and portability scenarios. The lack of portability and interoperability between cloud platforms at different service levels is the main issue affecting cloud-based services today. The brokering, negotiation, management, monitoring and reconfiguration of cloud resources are challenging tasks for developers and users of cloud applications due to the different business models associated with resource consumption, and to the variety of services and features offered by different cloud providers. In chapter 1 the concepts of cloud portability and interoperability are introduced, together with the issues and limitations arising when such features are lacking or ignored. Subsequently, chapter 2 provides an overview of the state-of-the-art methodologies and technologies that are currently used or being explored to enable cloud portability and interoperability. Chapter 3 illustrates the main cross-platform cloud APIs and how they can solve interoperability and portability issues. In turn, chapter 4 presents a set of ready-to-use solutions which, either because of their broad-scale use in cloud computing scenarios or because they utilize established or emerging standards, play a fundamental part in providing interoperable and portable solutions. Lastly, chapter 5 presents an overview of emerging standards for cloud Interoperability and portability. Researchers and developers of cloud-based services will find here a brief survey of the relevant methodologies, APIs and standards, illustrated by case studies and complemented by an extensive reference list for more detailed descriptions of every topic covered.SpringerBriefs in Computer Science,2191-5768Computer communication systemsSoftware engineeringArchitecture, ComputerElectrical engineeringComputer Communication Networkshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I13022Software Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I14029Computer System Implementationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I13057Communications Engineering, Networkshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24035Computer communication systems.Software engineering.Architecture, Computer.Electrical engineering.Computer Communication Networks.Software Engineering.Computer System Implementation.Communications Engineering, Networks.003.3004004.6005.1621.382Di Martino Beniaminoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut756303Cretella Giuseppinaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autEsposito Antonioauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910299236603321Cloud Portability and Interoperability2520014UNINA
