This book provides an overview of leading-edge developments in the field of human-computer interaction. It includes contributions from many of the key areas that are influencing our use of computers. Highlights include sections on speech technology, on interaction with mobile and hand-held computers, on e-business, on web-based systems, on virtual reality and haptic interfaces. Furthermore the book includes chapters on E-Business, data mining and databases, mobile systems, speech, viewing the web, next generation office systems, novel ineteraction, accessibility, interruptions and coordination, design patterns, healthcare informatics, haptics, design techniques, remote interaction and evaluation, search, programming environments, 3D and virtual environments, social psychology and contextual design, learning, evaluation tools and communities and language. Today one of the most written and spoken impacts of computing and IT is communication and the easy accessibility for information. Geography is no longer a constraint. With these advances in first and second world nations, and slower introduction to the third world, an enlarging proportion of the world population is encountering computer based systems. This brings a changing basis of approach, as issues such as cultural, political and economic differences must be accommodated in ways that have not existed before. HCI researchers and practitioners have a responsibility to propose scientifically, socially and environmentally sustainable solutions that will help ease the burden that current new technologies impose on people and organisations. The goal must be to achieve benefit from technological advances, for it should match the skills, needs and expectations of the users of such technologies.

ISO 14000 series is a set of standards with the aim to assist organizations and companies to build and carry on structured and systematic environmental improvements for continual improvement of its environmental performance. This work covers environmental management, environmental aspects, and environmental indicators and aims to introduce the standards in the ISO 14000 series. It gives an insight of the structure and content of the full ISO 14000 series and explains how the standards in the ISO 14000 series can occur for continual improvement of an organization's or a company's environmental performance.

Atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmia, which is most prominent in the elderly. Today's drug options available for the treatment of atrial fibrillation are restricted due to insufficient efficacy, but even more so due to unwanted side effects, especially proarrhythmogenicity. This book focuses on atrial fibrillation and reviews different aspects of this increasingly common disorder including its pathophysiology, epidemiology and current therapy. It evaluates progress achieved by molecular biology over recent years in identifying ion channel proteins and genetic defects related to this disease. It also highlights new avenues of current research aiming to discover more effective and safer medicines for the treatment of atrial fibrillation.

This book is intended to provide a treatment of the theory and applications of Stochastic Neural Networks,that is networks able to learn random processes from experience, on the basis of recent developments on this subject. The mathematical frameworks on which the theory is founded embrace the approximation of non-random functions as well as the theory of stochastic processes. The networks so defined constitute an original and very promising model of human brain neural activity consistent with the need of learning from a stochastic environment. Moreover, the problem of speech modeling, both for synthesis and recognition, is faced as concrete and significant application in the field of artificial intelligence of the theory is presented.
