The emergence of affordable micro sensors, such as MEMS Inertial
Measurement Systems, are applied in embedded systems and
Internet-of-Things devices. This has brought techniques such as
Kalman Filtering, which are capable of combining information from
multiple sensors or sources, to the interest of students and
hobbyists. This book will explore the necessary background
concepts, helping a much wider audience of readers develop an
understanding and intuition that will enable them to follow the
explanation for the Kalman Filtering algorithm. Key Features:

This book examines the confusions and contradictions that manifest
in prevalent attitudes towards the body, as well as in related
bodily practices. The body is simultaneously our reference for the
certainties of nature and the locus of a desire for transformation
and reinvention. The body is at the same time worshipped and
despised; an object of desire and of design. Francisco Ortega
analyses how the body has become both a screen for the projection
of our ideas and imaginings about ourselves and conversely an
object of suspicion, anxiety, and discomfort. Addressing practices
of corporeal ascesis (such as bodybuilding and dietetics), medical
technologies, and radical anatomical modifications, Ortega
documents the ambiguous legacy of a western theoretical tradition
that has always despised the body. Utilising a theoretical
framework that is mainly informed by the phenomenology of the body,
feminist theory, disability studies and the thought of Michel
Foucault, Corporeality, Medical Technologies and Contemporary
Culture address several ethical and psychological issues associated
with the experience and perception of the body in our cultural
landscape. Drawing on these diverse areas of philosophical and
analytical work, this book will interest those researching Law,
Medicine, and Sociology.

Being Brains offers a critical exploration of neurocentrism, the
belief that "we are our brains," which became widespread in the
1990s. Encouraged by advances in neuroimaging, the humanities and
social sciences have taken a "neural turn," in the form of
neuro-subspecialties in fields such as anthropology, aesthetics,
education, history, law, sociology, and theology. Dubious but
successful commercial enterprises such as "neuromarketing" and
"neurobics" have emerged to take advantage of the heightened
sensitivity to all things neuro. While neither hegemonic nor
monolithic, the neurocentric view embodies a powerful ideology that
is at the heart of some of today's most important philosophical,
ethical, scientific, and political debates. Being Brains, chosen as
2018 Outstanding Book in the History of the Neurosciences by the
International Society for the History of the Neurosciences,
examines the internal logic of such ideology, its genealogy, and
its main contemporary incarnations.

Neurocultures offers "glimpses" into an expanding universe of
knowledge, beliefs and practices characterized by the conviction
that human activity is governed by the structure and functioning of
the brain. The 1990s were the Decade of the Brain, and the first
hundred years of the new millennium have been proclaimed its
Century. Described as the most complex of all organs, the brain has
become a major icon of contemporary culture. Brain imaging
technologies are used in a large number of disciplines, and are
increasingly applied in settings of potential social and legal
relevance. It is often proclaimed that the neurosciences will bring
about major transformations in notions and practices of the human
in areas as diverse as spirituality and self-help, marketing, the
law, education, or the classification and treatment of mental
disease. Neurocultures explores these expectations, their history,
their contexts, and the debates they raise, in a broad range of
fields, including enhancement, meditation, neuroethics, the "social
brain", psychedelic research, psychoanalysis, psychiatric and
neurological conditions, and cinema and literature.
El objetivo del presente trabajo es ofrecer una metodologia para la
gestion de los proyectos de una Administracion Publica Espanola
siguiendo la norma de calidad ISO 10.006. Los datos elaborados por
los distintos foros y organismos publicos dedicados al desarrollo
de proyectos tecnologicos del sector publico, asi como de la propia
experiencia demuestran la necesidad de metodologias que eviten las
consecuencias perniciosas del elevado fracaso en los proyectos del
sector publico. Para la elaboracion de la metodologia se ha
realizado, en primer lugar, un estudio de las necesidades de
gestion en el ambito de la Administracion Publica Espanola, a
continuacion se han analizado soluciones metodologicas disponibles
para el sector publico y finalmente, a los mapas obtenidos, se les
aplicaron los estandares de calidad mas reconocidos. El resultado
final fue aplicado en proyectos complejos y criticos del sector
publico que demostraron la reduccion del numero de proyectos
fracasados y una mayor motivacion en la implicacion de los gestores
publicos en la ejecucion de los proyectos, requisito fundamental
para la mejora de la productividad en la Administracion Publica.
Desde tiempos remotos, el estudio del Universo ha sido una fuente
de enriquecimiento para el espiritu de la Humanidad. A partir que
Galileo convirtio al catalejo en telescopio, se inicio una
autentica revolucion de los conocimientos sobre el cielo. El ritmo
en el que han progresado los telescopios, se ha acelerado
vertiginosamente. Debieron transcurrir 79 anos, entre el telescopio
de refraccion de Galileo y el de reflexion de Newton, constituyendo
esto un gran salto en la Astronomia. En la actualidad, durante el
tiempo de construccion de un avanzado telescopio, ya se esta
disenando el que lo superara en prestaciones. Esta carrera, ha
permitido detectar y estudiar fuentes de energia cada vez mas
debiles, permitiendonos acercar mas a los vestigios del origen del
Universo. En este libro se expone la evolucion del diseno de los
telescopios opticos, cuyo diametro supera al metro, desde el que
construyo Herschel, pasando por otros clasicos, que han sido
vitales en el desarrollo de la Astronomia moderna, como por ejemplo
el de Monte Palomar, hasta llegar a los mas modernos telescopios
que estan en operacion, construccion y proyecto."
