This translation of this classic text contains a balance of
cultural and biological considerations. While arguing for the
strong influence of exposure and of formal training on the way that
music is perceived, Frances draws on the literature concerning the
amusias to illustrate his points about the types of cognitive
abstraction that are performed by the listener.
Written by foremost experts in the field, Engineering Modeling
Languages provides end-to-end coverage of the engineering of
modeling languages to turn domain knowledge into tools. The book
provides a definition of different kinds of modeling languages,
their instrumentation with tools such as editors, interpreters and
generators, the integration of multiple modeling languages to
achieve a system view, and the validation of both models and tools.
Industrial case studies, across a range of application domains, are
included to attest to the benefits offered by the different
techniques. The book also includes a variety of simple worked
examples that introduce the techniques to the novice user. The book
is structured in two main parts. The first part is organized around
a flow that introduces readers to Model Driven Engineering (MDE)
concepts and technologies in a pragmatic manner. It starts with
definitions of modeling and MDE, and then moves into a deeper
discussion of how to express the knowledge of particular domains
using modeling languages to ease the development of systems in the
domains. The second part of the book presents examples of
applications of the model-driven approach to different types of
software systems. In addition to illustrating the unification power
of models in different software domains, this part demonstrates
applicability from different starting points (language, business
knowledge, standard, etc.) and focuses on different software
engineering activities such as Requirement Engineering, Analysis,
Design, Implementation, and V&V. Each chapter concludes with a
small set of exercises to help the reader reflect on what was
learned or to dig further into the examples. Many examples of
models and code snippets are presented throughout the book, and a
supplemental website features all of the models and programs (and
their associated tooling) discussed in the book.
This is the first pocket-size guide available to be carried with
you in your handbag, suit jacket pocket, briefcase, backpack --
anywhere around the corner and around the world. The passport
allows you to scan the menu, quickly spot the safest choices and
ask the right questions to avoid ten common allergens hidden in
food preparation. The sample cuisine menus identify the name of
each dish in its native language with the English equivalent. This
information can help you navigate the menu and make informed
choices based upon your special dietary needs. The cuisine menu
item descriptions summarise each dishs ingredients and the culinary
preparation techniques involved. After each description, the
following are detailed: Gluten-Free Decision Factors and Food
Allergen Preparation Considerations. The cuisine quick reference
guides reflect where you may potentially encounter ten common food
allergens by each menu item at a glance. This information has been
further confirmed by culinary experts and tested by various
individuals impacted by food allergies and special diets on a
global basis.
France's INTRODUCTION TO SPORTS MEDICINE AND ATHLETIC TRAINING, 3rd
Edition, equips you with a solid understanding of the functional
concepts of the human body and then teaches you how to apply that
knowledge to real-life practice. It combines comprehensive coverage
of Nutrition, Sports Psychology, Kinesiology and therapeutic
modalities with the latest research, concussion protocols and
guidelines for First Aid, CPR and AED. An all-new section is
devoted to athletes with disabilities and their right to
participate, and an entire chapter is dedicated to special
challenges that athletes face. Vivid illustrations, photos, artwork
and diagrams bring chapter concepts to life. In addition, insight
into a wide range of careers in the Sports Medicine field helps you
plan for the future. It's the ideal text for anyone interested in
athletics and the medical needs of athletes.

This 5-time award winning book is an innovative how-to book
educating individuals and businesses about safe eating around the
corner or around the world while handling the top 10 common food
allergens. Based on six-plus years of extensive global research,
this cutting-edge book helps to enrich the quality of life for
millions managing special diets. It also empowers family, friends,
healthcare practitioners & restaurant professionals with key
considerations about eating out gluten & allergen-free.
Recognised with publishing awards such as Best Health, Wellness,
Travel, First Non-Fiction and Classic Reference, "Let's Eat Out!"
has been featured in 200-plus magazines, newspapers, radio & TV
shows, endorsed by celiac/coeliac & food allergy associations
world-wide and is available in over 25 countries. The book explores
seven international cuisines which can be found in many cities and
countries around the world. The book facilitates safe eating
experiences through detailed knowledge about common food allergens
such as corn, dairy, eggs, fish, gluten, peanuts, shellfish, soy,
tree nuts and wheat. With hundreds of menu item choices showcasing
ingredients, hidden allergens & preparation techniques, this
proven approach focuses on what can be safely eaten when ordering
meals in restaurants based upon cuisine-specific choices. The
easy-to-use preparation checklists & travel guidelines are
further detailed for effective communication to experience the
freedom of safe eating anywhere. Each cuisine describes suggested
dishes, meal descriptions and potential food allergen
considerations. To determine the 175-plus menu items provided in
these chapters, thousands of menus and recipes from all over the
world were researched to identify which items were most commonly
found in each cuisine. Once established, each was then reviewed to
determine which had the highest likelihood of being gluten and
wheat-free. The selection was further narrowed down by which dishes
had the highest likelihood of not including the eight other food
allergens. Then, ingredients, food preparation techniques, hidden
allergens & cross-contamination concerns were defined for each
menu item. To ensure accuracy, rigorous quality assurance testing
was also conducted with chefs, restaurants & culinary schools
world-wide to confirm each of the descriptions, considerations and
traditional/non-traditional culinary practices. Other sections of
the book focus on additional eating out and travel guidelines
including the proven guest and restaurant approach to safe eating
experiences, the learning curve for special diets and the
collaborative process. Snack, breakfast and beverage suggestions
help individuals safely travel on-the-road with confidence and
ease. Applicable checklists detailing considerations for airlines,
snacks, hotels, cruise lines and foreign travel are also included
for guests & travel providers. The book is organised in a
manner that allows you to use the information in a number of
different ways. As with any book, it can be read cover to cover as
a reference guide or, if preferred, you can skip around by chapter
depending upon what topics you are most interested in learning
about. Each chapter stands on its own. It s all about your needs,
preferences and areas of concern. Armed with the critical questions
to ask and appropriate knowledge, guests have the opportunity and
freedom to safely eat in any restaurant. At the same time, eating
establishments can ensure that potentially problematic ingredients,
preparation techniques and cross-contamination concerns are
addressed when preparing and serving special diet guests.
