Managing Educational Technology examines the ways in which
stakeholders from businesses, K-12 schools, and universities can
influence the quality and success of technology integration in
primary and secondary classrooms. Inspired by their experiences in
the field as educators, education researchers, and technology
evaluators, the authors present vignettes that highlight the
benefits, demands, and limitations often associated with the
introduction and integration of educational technologies to K-12
school environments. These examples also underscore the inherent
nuances in partnerships among businesses, K-12 schools, and
universities. Readers can use these rich examples when considering
ways to integrate products into schools, as well as when
discussing, analyzing, and evaluating the promises of and
challenges in doing so. End-of-chapter questions guide readers to
consider alternate actions and identify steps for additional
growth, which complement the authors' practical suggestions to
strengthen business-school-university partnerships. Any reader
interested in educational technology, educational leadership, or
business will benefit from this insightful investigation of
business-school-university partnerships.
Computer-Aided Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: Developments,
Applications, and Future Perspectives is an ideal resource for
biomedical engineers and computer scientists, clinicians and
clinical researchers looking for an understanding on the latest
technologies applied to oral and maxillofacial surgery. In facial
surgery, computer-aided decisions supplement all kind of treatment
stages, from a diagnosis to follow-up examinations. This book gives
an in-depth overview of state-of-the-art technologies, such as deep
learning, augmented reality, virtual reality and intraoperative
navigation, as applied to oral and maxillofacial surgery. It covers
applications of facial surgery that are at the interface between
medicine and computer science. Examples include the automatic
segmentation and registration of anatomical and pathological
structures, like tumors in the facial area, intraoperative
navigation in facial surgery and its recent developments and
challenges for treatments like zygomatic implant placement.
This collection of papers on numerical analysis with special emphasis on nonlinear problems covers a broad spectrum of fields. Several papers are involved in applying numerical methods for proving the existence of solutions of nonlinear problems, e.g. of boundary problems or of obstacle problems. Naturally the solution of linear and nonlinear problems by iterative methods is the subject of a couple of papers. Here such topics as the fast verification of solutions of monotone matrix equations, the convergence of linear asynchronous iteration with spectral radius of modulus one or aggregation and disaggregation methods for p-cyclic Markov chains are treated. On the other hand, papers involved in optimization problems can also be found. Nearly all fields of modern numerical analysis are touched by at least one paper.

Over the past decades, the field of computer-aided surgery has
experienced tremendous developments due to the rapid growth of
computing power and the improvements in imaging modalities. Based
on the guidance of preoperative planning with CT, magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI), or other volumetric image data associated
with the patient, surgical navigation is being widely used in
various human anatomies (eye, ear, nose, pelvis, etc.) for
minimising the risks and improving the precision of the surgeries.
Furthermore, robotic systems enable surgeons to perform advanced
procedures with greater visualization and dexterity than
traditional technology. In this book, the authors present current
developments, applications and potential hazards in the domain of
computer-aided surgery and robotic surgery. Topics in this
compilation include surgical navigation system based on 3D Slicer
using augmented reality (AR) technology; computer-assisted
minimally invasive surgery; a navigation system in bimaxillary
orthognathic surgery; spinal surgical navigation system; scrub
nurse robot systems for laparoscopic surgery; ultrasound imaging
for robotic orthopedic surgery, etc.
