In the U.S., drivers over the age of 65 now account for nearly 20
percent of licensed drivers. This number will increase to 25% to
nearly 70 million by the year 2030. Some of these older drivers may
not be capable of operating their vehicles safely in all
conditions. The book investigates the key aspects of driving tasks
and their relation to the sensory, perceptual, motor, and cognitive
processes. Effects on driving performance, including aging, are
described with a view toward improving future vehicle and road
design as well as driver training and evaluation. This title: ·
Presents a comprehensive, quantitative analysis of human physical
and mental processes to driving behavior. · Showcases recent
review and analysis of driver, vehicle, and road environment design
factors. · Discusses fundamentals of driving behavior in vehicle
control and guidance, collision avoidance, and hazard perception.
· Examines the effects of design issues in vehicles, and road
environments. · Highlights specific quantifiable attributes of
physical and mental functions related to driving approaches.
Written for professionals in diverse fields including ergonomics,
health and safety, human factors, transportation engineering, and
automotive engineering, this book is the essential guide to driving
practices and habits. Its appeal will extend to those involved in

This book covers the problem of fidelity in the design of virtual
environments with specific reference to the design of vehicle
simulators. The default design goal has been on the physical
replication of a given real-world environment and, in the case of
vehicles, the specific appearance and function of vehicle
components. This book discusses that perceptual, rather than
physical, fidelity of a virtual environment, should be the design
goal and the principal purpose is to produce human behavior. This
book provides the rationale and design guidance to maximize
perceptual fidelity in the development of virtual environments, and
therefore maximize the costeffectiveness as well.
This book explores certain contemporary problems of accounting
through the eyes and pens of historians. Many accounting problems
are not new ones and it is therefore important to understand their
history and development through the ages. This book places
twentieth century studies in context and provides clues to possible
solutions. The focus of this book is on companies and their
financial reports and will be of use to students of economic and
business history who wish to provide themselves with an accounting
background in relation to the financial reports of companies they
may be studying.
This book concerns developments in the history of one accounting
idea. It discusses cash flow accounting and, as such, relates what
can only be described as a 'recycled' accounting problem. Cash flow
accounting is the oldest form of monetary accounting, preceding the
now conventional accrual and allocation-based accounting. Largely
ignored in accounting literature since the early 1950s, this
collection concentrates on Lee's work and provides the reader not
only with a relevant selection of his writings on the subject since
1971, but also with a structured collection that explains the way
in his thinking has developed on the subject and focuses on
relevant influences.

This book explores the broad and diverse biological and
physiological impacts of established and newly discovered cyclic
di-nucleotide second messenger signaling systems, while also
providing descriptions of the intriguing biochemical
characteristics of multiple turnover enzymes and receptors. The
respective chapters discuss the commonalities and diversity of
cyclic di-GMP, cyclic di-AMP and recently discovered cyclic GMP-AMP
signaling systems in manifold Gram-negative and Gram-positive
bacteria. The global human pathogens Mycobacterium tuberculosis,
Vibrio cholerae, Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli and
Streptococcus pneumoniae, the facultative human pathogen
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, global plant pathogens as exemplified by
Xanthomonas campestris and Burkholderia spp., and the omnipresent
probiotic Lactobacilli, as well as environmentally important
photoautotrophic cyanobacteria, the multicellular Myxococcus
xanthus, and chemolithotrophic Acidithiobacillus are among the
representatives of the microbial kingdom that are described. In
turn, the various aspects of bacterial physiology affected by these
signaling systems- e.g. biofilm formation and dispersal, the cell
cycle, motility, virulence, production of antimicrobials,
fundamental metabolism and osmohomeostasis - are discussed in
detail in the context of different microorganisms. Dedicated
chapters focus on the population diversity of cyclic dinucleotide
signaling systems, their tendency to be horizontally transferred,
the cyclic di-GMP signaling system in the social amoeba
Dictyostelium, honorary cyclic (di)nucleotides, and the development
of strategies for interfering with cyclic dinucleotide signaling in
order to manipulate microbial behavior. Taken together, the
chapters provide an authoritative source of information for a broad
readership: beginners and advanced researchers from various
disciplines; individuals seeking a broad overview of cyclic
di-nucleotide signaling; and those who want to learn more about
specific aspects. Also featuring reviews with a forward-looking
perspective, the book offers a valuable source of inspiration for
future research directions.

Advances in computer, visual display, motion and force cueing and
other technologies in the past two decades have had a dramatic
effect on the design and use of simulation technology in aviation
and other fields. The effective use of technology in training,
safety investigation, engineering and scientific research requires
an understanding of its capabilities and limitations. As the
technology has as its primary goal the creation of virtual
environments for human users, knowledge of human sensory,
perceptual, and cognitive functioning is also needed. This book
provides a review and analysis of the relevant engineering and
science supporting the design and use of advanced flight simulation
technologies. It includes chapters reviewing key simulation areas
such as visual scene, motion, and sound simulation and a chapter
analyzing the role of recreating the pilot's task environment in
the overall effectiveness of simulators. The design and use of
flight simulation are addressed in chapters on the effectiveness of
flight simulators in training and on the role of physical and
psychological fidelity in simulator design. The problems inherent
in the ground-based simulation of flight are also reviewed as are
promising developments in flight simulation technology and the
important role flight simulators play in advanced aviation
research. The readership includes: flight simulation engineers and
designers, human factors researchers and practitioners, aviation
safety investigators, flight training management and instructors,
training and instructional technologists, virtual environment
design community, and regulatory authorities.
The motivation for this book was the recognition by two of us (RL
and TL) that, despite our training as cardiologists, we had a
limited understand ing of many aspects of the surgical management
of our patients. Conversa tions with other cardiologists at our own
institution and at other medical centers around the country
convinced us that many of our colleagues shared our uncertainty
about the details of surgical procedures and the factors that
determine decisions in the perioperative period. As surgical
techniques continue to evolve, this knowledge gap can become only
more severe. We therefore compiled information about cardiac
surgery that might be useful for cardiologists and other
nonsurgeons. We asked cardiologists what questions they would like
to ask their surgical colleagues and provided these questions to
the authors of the chapters. Thus, the goal of these chapters is to
help nonsurgeons answer their own questions about common cardiac
procedures, and to help prepare these physicians to address the
questions raised by their patients. In addition, we hope that
insight into these issues will improve communication between
surgeons and their col leagues-and, ultimately, lead to better
patient care. Contents Preface . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Let FG be the group ring of a group G over a field F. Write U(FG)
for the group of units of FG. It is an important problem to
determine the conditions under which U(FG) satisfies a group
identity. In the mid 1990s, a conjecture of Hartley was verified,
namely, if U(FG) satisfies a group identity, and G is torsion, then
FG satisfies a polynomial identity. Necessary and sufficient
conditions for U(FG) to satisfy a group identity soon followed.
Since the late 1990s, many papers have been devoted to the study of
the symmetric units; that is, those units u satisfying u* = u,
where * is the involution on FG defined by sending each element of
G to its inverse. The conditions under which these symmetric units
satisfy a group identity have now been determined. This book
presents these results for arbitrary group identities, as well as
the conditions under which the unit group or the set of symmetric
units satisfies several particular group identities of interest.

Recognition of carbohydrates in biological systems has been gaining
more and more attention in recent years. Although methodology for
studying recognition has been developing, there is no volume that
covers the wide area of methodology of carbohydrate recognition.
This volume and its companion, Volume 362, present state-of-the-art
methodologies, as well as the most recent biological observations
in this area.
* Covers carbohydrate-binding proteins
* Discusses glycoproteins and glycolipids
* Polysaccharides, enzymes and cells are also covered
In Ingenious Citizenship Charles T. Lee centers the daily
experiences and actions of migrant domestic workers, sex workers,
transgender people, and suicide bombers in his rethinking of
mainstream models of social change. Bridging cultural and political
theory with analyses of film, literature, and ethnographic sources,
Lee shows how these abject populations find ingenious and
improvisational ways to disrupt and appropriate practices of
liberal citizenship. When voting and other forms of civic
engagement are unavailable or ineffective, the subversive acts of a
domestic worker breaking a dish or a prostitute using the
strategies and language of an entrepreneur challenge the accepted
norms of political action. Taken to the extreme, a young
Palestinian woman blowing herself up in a Jerusalem supermarket
questions two of liberal citizenship's most cherished values: life
and liberty. Using these examples to critically reinterpret
political agency, citizenship practices, and social transformation,
Lee reveals the limits of organizing change around a human rights
discourse. Moreover, his subjects offer crucial lessons in how to
turn even the worst conditions and the most unstable positions in
society into footholds for transformative and democratic agency.
This edited volume focuses on both conceptual and practical
challenges in measuring well-being. Leveraging insights across
diverse disciplines, including psychology, economics, sociology,
statistics, public health, theology, and philosophy, contributors
consider the philosophical and theological traditions on happiness,
well-being and the good life, as well as recent empirical research
on well-being and its measurement. The chapters review what is
known empirically about how different measures of well-being relate
to each other and considers various arguments for and against use
of specific measures of well-being in different contexts. Further,
the volume includes discussion of how a synthesis of existing
research helps us make sense of the proliferation of different
measures and concepts within the field, while also foregrounding
the insights gained by investigations and conceptual thinking
occurring across diverse disciplines.
This book introduces readers to the financial markets, derivatives,
structured products and how the products are modelled and
implemented by practitioners. In addition, it equips readers with
the necessary knowledge of financial markets needed in order to
work as product structurers, traders, sales or risk managers. As
the book seeks to unify the derivatives modelling and the financial
engineering practice in the market, it will be of interest to
financial practitioners and academic researchers alike. Further, it
takes a different route from the existing financial mathematics
books, and will appeal to students and practitioners with or
without a scientific background. The book can also be used as a
textbook for the following courses: * Financial Mathematics
(undergraduate level) * Stochastic Modelling in Finance
(postgraduate level) * Financial Markets and Derivatives
(undergraduate level) * Structured Products and Solutions
(undergraduate/postgraduate level)

This carefully written textbook offers a thorough introduction to
abstract algebra, covering the fundamentals of groups, rings and
fields. The first two chapters present preliminary topics such as
properties of the integers and equivalence relations. The author
then explores the first major algebraic structure, the group,
progressing as far as the Sylow theorems and the classification of
finite abelian groups. An introduction to ring theory follows,
leading to a discussion of fields and polynomials that includes
sections on splitting fields and the construction of finite fields.
The final part contains applications to public key cryptography as
well as classical straightedge and compass constructions.
Explaining key topics at a gentle pace, this book is aimed at
undergraduate students. It assumes no prior knowledge of the
subject and contains over 500 exercises, half of which have
detailed solutions provided.
