Imagine... a world where your next personal computing device is the
last one that you would ever need to buy. Where you would never
need to worry about operating systems, software patches, or
viruses. Where you always had enough processing power, memory,
storage, and top-of-the-line graphics. Where you could access all
of the very best software applications, regardless of their
platform. Where you had a constant connection to all your favourite
digital services, and your battery lasted for days, perhaps even
weeks, of full-on use. Sounds good, doesn't it? Well, this is the
world of the Stream Tone. A world that does not exist in some far
off future; this could be, figuratively speaking, our world a mere
five minutes from now. All that is needed to make it a reality is
the creative convergence of certain technologies that are already
available and in use today. Personal computing is changing from an
old world of local services, provided by local devices, to a new
world of remote Web-based services, provided by cloud
computing-based data centres. The STREAM TONE: The Future of
Personal Computing? is a 408-page academically-oriented non-fiction
book that explores, in some technical detail, what might be
required to make a comprehensive move to this exciting new world,
and the many benefits that move could bring. This book not only
attempts to make a thorough evaluation of the technology ecosystem
that will be required to create this future but also considers many
of the implications of such a move. Along the way, it also
discusses a wide range of currently-available technologies and how
they could possibly be used to enable this future.
Obesity is an increasing problem on a global scale, and strategies
for its prevention involve experts from many disciplines including
nutritionists, physicians, policy-makers and public health
professionals. This book covers the latest advances in obesity
development, management and prevention with specific focus on
dietary interventions. Part one covers the development of obesity
and key drivers for its continuation and increase. Part two looks
at the role of specific dietary components in obesity management,
and part three discusses the role of behavioural factors such as
eating patterns in managing and preventing obesity. Part four
focuses on structured dietary interventions for obesity treatment,
and part five looks at public interventions and consumer issues.
