PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) is an approach to therapeutic exercise which therapists all over the world have found effective for treating patients with a wide range of diagnoses. The approach presented in this richly illustrated guide is based on the concepts set out by Dr. Herman Kabat and taught by Margaret Knott.
It is our pleasure to welcome you to the third edition of the International Symposium
on Engineering Secure Software and Systems.
This unique event aims at bringing together researchers from software engineering
and security engineering, which might help to unite and further develop
the two communities in this and future...
With the increasing focus on IT Security comes a higher demand for identity management
in the modern business. This requires a flexible, scalable, and secure authentication
method. Identity control is made mandatory by many public standards, such as PCI, and
PKI is an essential component to set up authentication in many technologies,...
The important role that discrete structures plays in computer science is gaining recognition.
Computing Curricula 2001 (CC2001), the latest curriculum recommendation for computer-
related education, was a joint undertaking of the Institute for Electrical and Electronic
Engineers/Computer Society (IEEE/CS) and the Association for...
"Modeling" has become one of the primary concerns in modern Software
Engineering. The reason is simple: starting development processes from clear
and succinct models has proven to foster not only quality but also productivity.
With the advance of modeling there also came a desire for automatic code
generation from models....
Modern corporations demand a high level of service from their IT environ-
ments. Today's successful datacenter architectures consist of multiple tiers
that use well-tuned and high-performance servers at every level.
Sun refers to this as the "end-to-end architecture." Typical tiers include
powerful database...
The analysis of experimental data is at heart of science from its beginnings.
But it was the advent of digital computers in the second half of the 20th
century that revolutionized scientific data analysis twofold: Tedious pencil
and paper work could be successively transferred to the emerging software
applications so sweat and tears...
Crystallization from solution is a core technology in major sectors of the
chemical process and allied industries. Crystals are produced in varying sizes
ranging from as small as a few tens of nanometers to several millimetres
or more, both as discrete particles and as structured agglomerates. Well-
established examples include bulk...
The present work grew out of lecture notes I prepared for a Vh hour tutorial
that I was invited to give at the 29th IEEE Computer Conference (CompCon)
in San Francisco on February 27, 1987. I have just completed a substantial
update of the material, including the addition of several topics. My main
purpose is to provide a...
This book presents results of research achieved in friendly collaboration across
borders and moreover between continents and emphasizes a belief in engineering
science being for the benefit of mankind the world over. This aspect of the book’s
ethos is epitomized by the authors’ profiles, one being from Central Europe and...
Service-Oriented Architecture is becoming the leading architecture for IT, and it is changing the way organisations work. IT is slowly but steadily gaining maturity, and becoming the flexible yet stable and reliable support for business it should be. At the same time, IT is regaining its potential to create real business innovation. SOA will...
Management information systems produce the information that managers
use to make important strategic decisions. They formthe basis for management
reports, both financial and non-financial, and as such they are a vital
component of modern business management. Few managerial decisions
are taken without consulting the data captured by...
