They are of great importance in sectors such as sports and healthcare, as they permit the continuous monitoring of physiological and biological elements, such as ECG and human sweat. Until recently, this could only be carried out in specialized laboratories in the presence of cumbersome, and usually, expensive devices. Sweat monitoring sensors integrated onto textile substrates are not only part of a new field of work but, they also represent the first attempt to implement such an innovative Sport clothesSport clothes industryAthletesTraining ofElectronic books.Sport clothes.Sport clothes industry.AthletesTraining of.621.381512Salvo Pietro994161MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463269603321Wearable technologies for sweat rate and conductivity sensors2276870UNINA03916nam 2200697Ia 450 991096634170332120200520144314.09786612360879978128236087712823608769780520943155052094315510.1525/9780520943155(CKB)1000000000807574(EBL)470958(OCoLC)609850106(SSID)ssj0000296474(PQKBManifestationID)11251130(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000296474(PQKBWorkID)10327270(PQKB)10950837(DE-B1597)519725(OCoLC)1110707089(DE-B1597)9780520943155(MiAaPQ)EBC470958(dli)HEB33869(MiU) MIU01100000000000000001080(Perlego)550734(MiU)MIU01100000000000000001080(EXLCZ)99100000000080757420080814d2009 ub 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrFirst peoples in a new world colonizing ice age America /David J.

WHEN PAST AND PRESENT COLLIDE --FURTHER READING --NOTES --REFERENCES --INDEXMore than 12,000 years ago, in one of the greatest triumphs of prehistory, humans colonized North America, a continent that was then truly a new world. Just when and how they did so has been one of the most perplexing and controversial questions in archaeology. This dazzling, cutting-edge synthesis, written for a wide audience by an archaeologist who has long been at the center of these debates, tells the scientific story of the first Americans: where they came from, when they arrived, and how they met the challenges of moving across the vast, unknown landscapes of Ice Age North America. David J. Meltzer pulls together the latest ideas from archaeology, geology, linguistics, skeletal biology, genetics, and other fields to trace the breakthroughs that have revolutionized our understanding in recent years. Among many other topics, he explores disputes over the hemisphere's oldest and most controversial sites and considers how the first Americans coped with changing global climates. He also confronts some radical claims: that the Americas were colonized from Europe or that a crashing comet obliterated the Pleistocene megafauna. Full of entertaining descriptions of on-site encounters, personalities, and controversies, this is a compelling behind-the-scenes account of how science is illuminating our past.Colonizing ice age AmericaPaleo-IndiansNorth AmericaGlacial epochNorth AmericaNorth AmericaAntiquitiesPaleo-IndiansGlacial epoch970.01Meltzer David J1026575MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910966341703321First Peoples in a New World2666184UNINA
