Neurorehabilitation (neuroscience-based rehabilitation) is a medical approach that utilizes the brain's plasticity to help patients recover from nervous system injury. Remarkable progress has been made in this field, thus attracting increased attention from the scientific community. The concept of neurorehabilitation is widely accepted in physical therapy, and evaluation and treatment based on this concept are currently being practiced. This b...

Time series data consist of a collection of observations obtained through repeated measurements over time. When the points are plotted on a graph, one of the axes is always time. Time series analysis is a specific way of analyzing a sequence of data points. Time series data are everywhere since time is a constituent of everything that is observable. As our world becomes increasingly digitized, sensors and systems are constantly emitting a rele...

Quality control has played an important role in the manufacture of goods and the creation of monuments since antiquity. From the development of Heron¿s first robot and the Antikythera mechanism to today¿s Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0, and artificial intelligence, quality control has undeniably come a long way. This book examines quality control in several different scenarios and locations. Chapters discuss quality control of Nigeriäs...

In a totally globalized world with a population estimated to reach 10 billion by the year 2100, according to the United Nations, food security and food safety are two of the main challenges facing humanity. Foodborne pathogens continue to cause many cases of infection in humans worldwide each year. Global trade today results in food produced in a specific region or industry being distributed globally, which can lead to a food-poisoning outbrea...

Due to the world's increasing population, the demand for food is rapidly growing. There is a real concern that we are headed toward a food crisis. Land for farming is dwindling, leading to the need to develop alternative production methods. One of the most promising is soilless agriculture, which refers to growing crops, particularly horticultural crops, in different growing media or in substrates other than soil (substrate culture) or in aera...

Stirbt der geliebte Mensch, türmen sich Trauer und existenzielle Themen schonungslos vor uns auf und sehr viele Menschen stoßen dann auf die gleichen Fragen: Welchen Sinn hat mein Leben jetzt noch? Was ist nach dem Tod? Wo bist du? Wie soll ich mit dem großen Schmerz und meiner 'Alleinsamkeit' zurechtkommen? Sich diesen und weiteren Fragen mutig zu stellen ist ein wichtiger Schritt in der Trauerarbeit. So kann durch den Trauerweg ein neue...
