This book introduces and assembles essential knowledge on compression bandages, addressing a gap in the available literature on this subject. It covers the various concepts of compression therapy—from basic principles to practical applications. The subject matter in this book introduces compression therapy fundamentals, covering chronic venous diseases, clinical recommendations, and application guidelines. It also discusses bandage structure, types, pressure dynamics, and material effects on long-term compression. Dynamic compression assessment, long-term compression performance, and prediction and modelling of the compression profile of the bandage over time are also detailed along with other important concepts.

This book contains detailed knowledge about testing principles of fibre, yarn, and fabric characteristics, the tensile characteristics of materials and testing of fibrous-composites and technical textiles. It starts with an introduction to textile testing and further covers moisture in relation to textile materials, sampling techniques for textile materials and the basic applied statistics, fibre characteristics, fibre length, cotton fibre fineness and maturity characteristics. It also deals with the advanced characterisation of cotton fibre by using HVI and AFIS systems. Features:It covers the principles of the testing of textile and fibrous materials along with modern techniques for testing textile materialsIt reviews all necessary topics related to fibre, yarn, fabric, technical textiles, and composite testingIt explores the tensile characteristics of textile materials and measurement principlesIt discusses low-stress mechanical characteristics and transmission characteristicsIt includes a large number of examples and exercises based on actual industrial conditions worldwide including solutionsThis textbook is aimed at senior undergraduate students in textile testing and evaluation of textile materials.

This text reviews the field of digital image processing from the different perspectives offered by the separate domains of signal processing and pattern recognition. The book describes a rich array of applications, representing the latest trends in industry and academic research. To inspire further interest in the field, a selection of worked-out numerical problems is also included in the text. The content is presented in an accessible manner, examining each topic in depth without assuming any prior knowledge from the reader, and providing additional background material in the appendices. Features: covers image enhancement techniques in the spatial domain, the frequency domain, and the wavelet domain; reviews compression methods and formats for encoding images; discusses morphology-based image processing; investigates the modeling of object recognition in the human visual system; provides supplementary material, including MATLAB and C++ code, and interactive GUI-based modules, at an associated website.

“Signal Conditioning” is a comprehensive introduction to electronic signal processing. The book presents the mathematical basics including the implications of various transformed domain representations in signal synthesis and analysis in an understandable and lucid fashion and illustrates the theory through many applications and examples from communication systems. The ease to learn is supported by well-chosen exercises which give readers the flavor of the subject. Supplementary electronic material is available on http://extras.springer.com including MATLAB codes illuminating applications in the domain of one dimensional electrical signal processing, image processing, and speech processing. The book is an introduction for students with a basic understanding in engineering or natural sciences.

"Digital Communications" presents the theory and application of the philosophy of Digital Communication systems in a unique but lucid form. The book inserts equal importance to the theory and application aspect of the subject whereby the authors selected a wide class of problems. The Salient features of the book are:1. The foundation of Fourier series, Transform and wavelets are introduces in a unique way but in lucid language.2. The application area is rich and resemblance to the present trend of research, as we are attached with those areas professionally.3. Elegant exercise section is designed in such a way that, the readers can get the flavor of the subject and get attracted towards the future scopes of the subject.4. Unparallel tabular, flow chart based and pictorial methodology description will be there for sustained impression of the proposed design/algorithms in mind.
