Don't let diabetes send you to the bench. These motivational
stories of top athletes with diabetes will inspire you to live your
best life. An ultra-marathoner, a three-time Olympic gold medalist,
a major league pitcher, and an NFL star. What do these elite
athletes have in common? They reached the top of their field—all
while living with diabetes. Essential reading for people who have
diabetes and their families, Winning with Diabetes highlights the
challenges, perseverance, and successes of sixteen elite athletes
living with the disease. From mountain climber Will Cross, to
college softball champion Kylee Perez, to NBA legend Dominique
Wilkins, and many more, these are the real-life stories of
diagnosis, adapting new day-to-day routines, finding support,
training, competing, and connecting with communities of other
people living with diabetes. The book features advice for facing
common fears and challenges, both on and off the playing field.
Each chapter includes interviews with athletes about their
experiences, paired with expert commentary from the authors.
Chapters also include summaries of key concepts, along with
illustrations and other graphics. Winning with Diabetes will
inspire readers of all ages—those newly diagnosed as well as
those who have lived with diabetes for years. Written by physicians
who have set the standards for management of the disease, this book
brings you expert insight into finding ways to live your best life.
Let the experts, the athletes, and the inspiration in Winning with
Diabetes give you what you need to you stay in the game.
Inkjet-based Micromanufacturing Inkjet technology goes way beyond
putting ink on paper: it enables simpler, faster and more reliable
manufacturing processes in the fields of micro- and nanotechnology.
Modern inkjet heads are per se precision instruments that deposit
droplets of fluids on a variety of surfaces in programmable,
repeating patterns, allowing, after suitable modifications and
adaptations, the manufacturing of devices such as thin-film
transistors, polymer-based displays and photovoltaic elements.
Moreover, inkjet technology facilitates the large-scale production
of flexible RFID transponders needed, eg, for automated logistics
and miniaturized sensors for applications in health surveillance.
The book gives an introduction to inkjet-based micromanufacturing,
followed by an overview of the underlying theories and models,
which provides the basis for a full understanding and a successful
usage of inkjet-based methods in current microsystems research and
development Overview of Inkjet-based Micromanufacturing: Thermal

This paper examines the best means of improving the AEF's
responsiveness by addressing the question: Whether the basing of
expeditionary forces should be a sequential or parallel process?
... For the Air Expeditionary Force to respond rapidly, the
fundamental assumption about the process of projecting air power
should be that it occurs concurrently, not sequentially. The
implications of changing this assumption are that the service
should develop cross-functional units, that all personnel have more
training in beddown skills, and a portion of Air Force fighters
have a vertical take-off and landing capability.
Globalization and neoconservatism continue to shape change and
require constant evaluation. These thought-provoking and
informative essays are an important contribution to the ongoing
debate on social welfare and labour market policy in Canada.
Reactive inkjet printing uses an inkjet printer to dispense one or
more reactants onto a substrate to generate a physical or chemical
reaction to form a product in situ. Thus, unlike traditional inkjet
printing, the printed film chemistry differs to that of the initial
ink droplets. The appeal of reactive inkjet printing as a chemical
synthesis tool is linked to its ability to produce droplets whose
size is both controllable and predictable, which means that the
individual droplets can be thought of as building blocks where
droplets can be added to the substrate in a high precision format
to give good control and predictability over the chemical reaction.
The book starts by introducing the concept of using reactive inkjet
printing as a building block for making materials. Aspects such as
the behaviour of printed droplets on substrate and their mixing is
discussed in the first chapters. The following chapters then
discuss different applications of the technique in areas including
additive manufacturing and silk production, production of materials
used in solar cells, printed electronics, dentistry and tissue
engineering. Edited by two leading experts, Reactive Inkjet
Printing: A Chemical Synthesis Tool provides a comprehensive
overview of this technique and its use in fabricating functional
materials for health and energy applications. The book will appeal
to advanced level students in materials science.
