By definition, translators are intercultural mediators. This book
explores some of the most important current approaches in defining
intercultural competence for translators. At the same time, it
provides real-life examples of different approaches in
operationalizing intercultural competence and teaching it in a
translator-training context. Written for a global audience, the
book provides an informative overview of the field as well as
practical examples from different academic and cultural contexts.
This book was originally published as a special issue of The
Interpreter and Translator Trainer.
Be ready to prescribe and administer drugs safely and effectively,
with the fully updated Pharmacotherapeutics for Advanced Practice,
5th Edition. Anchored in pharmacology and the principles of
therapeutics, and written by experts in the field, this is your
road map to effective drug therapies. Learn to correctly identify a
disorder, review the drugs used to treat it, and select the optimal
therapy. With expert direction on more than 50 common disorders,
this is the ideal resource for advanced practice clinicians and
students learning pharmacotherapeutics, and a go-to reference for
experienced clinicians. Learn best practices for selecting the
safest, most effective drug therapies . . . NEW section on pain
management, addressing Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and use of
cannabis NEW and updated content on complementary and alternative
medicine (CAM) therapies, pharmacogenomics, liver disorders and
substance use disorders Easy-to-follow, evidence-based algorithms
and drug tables Content organized by drug class, with quick-scan
access to generic and trade names, and dosages Explains
pharmacology and patient management topics - easy-to-remember,
clearly worded definitions and descriptions of common presentations
Offers the foundation of drug therapeutics, including: The
prescribing process from pregnancy through elderly ages Avoiding
medication errors Pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, drug
interactions and adverse events Principles of antimicrobial therapy
Pharmacogenomics Chapters organized by body system or disorder for
quick-reference: Dermatitis - Bacterial, fungal, and viral
infections of the skin Ophthalmic disorders, otitis media and
otitis externa Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, myocardial Infarction,

Across three volumes, the Handbook of Image Processing and Computer
Vision presents a comprehensive review of the full range of topics
that comprise the field of computer vision, from the acquisition of
signals and formation of images, to learning techniques for scene
understanding. The authoritative insights presented within cover
all aspects of the sensory subsystem required by an intelligent
system to perceive the environment and act autonomously. Volume 1
(From Energy to Image) examines the formation, properties, and
enhancement of a digital image. Topics and features: * Describes
the fundamental processes in the field of artificial vision that
enable the formation of digital images from light energy * Covers
light propagation, color perception, optical systems, and the
analog-to-digital conversion of the signal * Discusses the
information recorded in a digital image, and the image processing
algorithms that can improve the visual qualities of the image *
Reviews boundary extraction algorithms, key linear and geometric
transformations, and techniques for image restoration * Presents a
selection of different image segmentation algorithms, and of
widely-used algorithms for the automatic detection of points of
interest * Examines important algorithms for object recognition,
texture analysis, 3D reconstruction, motion analysis, and camera
calibration * Provides an introduction to four significant types of
neural network, namely RBF, SOM, Hopfield, and deep neural networks
This all-encompassing survey offers a complete reference for all
students, researchers, and practitioners involved in developing
intelligent machine vision systems. The work is also an invaluable
resource for professionals within the IT/software and electronics
industries involved in machine vision, imaging, and artificial
intelligence. Dr. Cosimo Distante is a Research Scientist in
Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition in the Institute of Applied
Sciences and Intelligent Systems (ISAI) at the Italian National
Research Council (CNR). Dr. Arcangelo Distante is a researcher and
the former Director of the Institute of Intelligent Systems for
Automation (ISSIA) at the CNR. His research interests are in the
fields of Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, Machine Learning,
and Neural Computation.
