The biceps tendon is one of the most challenging anatomic structures to completely understand. Its precise role for shoulder function has yet to be completely defined, and pathologic conditions exist at both its proximal and distal ends. In recent years, the biceps labral complex has been recognized as a common cause of shoulder pain among patients. Accurate diagnosis, utilizing both physical examination and imaging, is crucial to decision-making regarding the most effective treatment. Many controversies exist surrounding the management of biceps pathology with a myriad of potential solutions to consider.

Spricht das Auftreten einer post-traumatischen Schwellung innerhalb der ersten zwei Stunden für eine Patellaluxation oder eher für einen Meniskusschaden? In welchem Rehabilitationsstadium einer VKB-Rekonstruktion kann der Einbeinstand beübt werden?

The book focuses on the design, materials, process, fabrication, and reliability of chiplet design and heterogeneous integraton packaging. Both principles and engineering practice have been addressed, with more weight placed on engineering practice. This is achieved by providing in-depth study on a number of major topics such as chip partitioning, chip splitting, multiple system and heterogeneous integration with TSV-interposers, multiple system and heterogeneous integration with TSV-less interposers, chiplets lateral communication, system-in-package, fan-out wafer/panel-level packaging, and various Cu-Cu hybrid bonding. The book can benefit researchers, engineers, and graduate students in fields of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, materials sciences, and industry engineering, etc.

It is very unlikely that little green humanoids are living on Mars. But what are the possible life forms that might exist in our Solar System and how might they have evolved?

This book highlights the main advances in fiber electronics, like fiber-shaped solar cells, batteries, supercapacitors, sensors, light-emitting devices, memristors and communication devices from the standpoints of material synthesis, structure design and property enhancement.

This book discusses the most commonly used techniques for characterizing magnetic material properties and their applications. It provides a comprehensive and easily digestible collection and review of magnetic measurement techniques. It also examines the underlying operating principles and techniques of magnetic measurements, and presents current examples where such measurements and properties are relevant. Given the pervasive nature of magnetic materials in everyday life, this book is a vital resource for both professionals and students wishing to deepen their understanding of the subject.

This up-to-date and comprehensive book on imaging of the foot and ankle provides a detailed description of the techniques and imaging findings relevant to this small region of complex anatomy. This book is an entirely revised second edition of the ‘Imaging of the Foot & Ankle’ published in 2003. It offers an updated comprehensive review of imaging and pathologies of the foot and ankle. The various techniques and procedures employed when imaging the foot and ankle are discussed in detail in the book. Individual chapters are devoted to radiography, arthrography and computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography, and intra-articular injections. The second part of the book documents applying these techniques to the diverse clinical problems and diseases encountered in this anatomical region. Among the many topics addressed are congenital and developmental disorders, impingement, ankle pain (medial, lateral, posterior, and anterior), heel pain, metatarsalgia (big toe and lesser), stress fractures, postoperative imaging, and tumours and tumour-like lesions. Each chapter is written by an acknowledged expert in the field, and a wealth of illustrative material is included. This book will be of great value to musculoskeletal and general radiologists and orthopedic surgeons.

This book explores the interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary fields of energy systems, occupant behavior, thermal comfort, air quality and economic modelling across levels of building, communities and cities, through various data analytical approaches. It highlights the complex interplay of heating/cooling, ventilation and power systems in different processes, such as design, renovation and operation, for buildings, communities and cities. Methods from classical statistics, machine learning and artificial intelligence are applied into analyses for different building/urban components and systems.

Welche Gewinnaussichten bietet ein Spiel? Und wie sollte man am besten spielen? Die beiden Fragen führen je nach Typ eines Spiels zu ganz unterschiedlichen mathematischen Mechanismen:
Die Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung erlaubt es, zufällige Einflüsse in Glücksspielen zu kalkulieren, um so die Gewinnchancen der Spieler abzuschätzen. Wie ein Schachcomputer funktioniert und welchen Grenzen die zugrundeliegenden Algorithmen unterworfen sind, davon handelt die Theorie der kombinatorischen Spiele.
Ganz andere Optimierungsansätze, nämlich solche aus der mathematischen Spieltheorie, sind gefragt, wenn Kartenspieler ihre Entscheidungen in Unkenntnis der Karten ihrer Mitspieler treffen müssen.

This book covers diagnostic images of common and rare fractures for nearly every part of the human body, based on a large number of clinical cases. The highlight of this book is that both of three-dimensional X-ray images and CT/MRI images of thousands of fracture cases are presented for comparison and further discussion, according to the framework of AO classification.

AI is transforming software development, shifting programmers from writing code to collaborating with AI in an intent-driven workflow—this is vibe coding. Vibe Coding: The Future of Programming explores how AI-powered coding assistants like GitHub Copilot and OpenAI Codex are reshaping the way we build software, from automating routine coding tasks to influencing architecture and design decisions.
