Written by foremost experts in the field, Engineering Modeling Languages provides end-to-end coverage of the engineering of modeling languages to turn domain knowledge into tools. The book provides a definition of different kinds of modeling languages, their instrumentation with tools such as editors, interpreters and generators, the integration of multiple modeling languages to achieve a system view, and the validation of both models and tools. Industrial case studies, across a range of application domains, are included to attest to the benefits offered by the different techniques. The book also includes a variety of simple worked examples that introduce the techniques to the novice user. The book is structured in two main parts. The first part is organized around a flow that introduces readers to Model Driven Engineering (MDE) concepts and technologies in a pragmatic manner. It starts with definitions of modeling and MDE, and then moves into a deeper discussion of how to express the knowledge of particular domains using modeling languages to ease the development of systems in the domains. The second part of the book presents examples of applications of the model-driven approach to different types of software systems. In addition to illustrating the unification power of models in different software domains, this part demonstrates applicability from different starting points (language, business knowledge, standard, etc.) and focuses on different software engineering activities such as Requirement Engineering, Analysis, Design, Implementation, and V&V. Each chapter concludes with a small set of exercises to help the reader reflect on what was learned or to dig further into the examples. Many examples of models and code snippets are presented throughout the book, and a supplemental website features all of the models and programs (and their associated tooling) discussed in the book.

France's INTRODUCTION TO SPORTS MEDICINE AND ATHLETIC TRAINING, 3rd Edition, equips you with a solid understanding of the functional concepts of the human body and then teaches you how to apply that knowledge to real-life practice.

INTRODUCTION TO SPORTS MEDICINE & ATHLETIC TRAINING 2E is ideal for individuals interested in athletics and the medical needs of athletes and is the first full-concept book around which an entire course can be created. This book covers Sports Medicine, Athletic Training and Anatomy and Physiology in an easy to understand format that allows the reader to grasp functional concepts of the human boday and then apply this knowledge to Sports Medicine and Athletic Training. Comprehensive chapters on nutrition, sports psychology, kinesiology and therapeutic modalities are also included. Readers will appreciate both the depth of the material covered and the ease in which it is presented.

This 5-time award winning book is an innovative how-to book educating individuals and businesses about safe eating around the corner or around the world while handling the top 10 common food allergens. Based on six-plus years of extensive global research, this cutting-edge book helps to enrich the quality of life for millions managing special diets. It also empowers family, friends, healthcare practitioners & restaurant professionals with key considerations about eating out gluten & allergen-free. Recognised with publishing awards such as Best Health, Wellness, Travel, First Non-Fiction and Classic Reference, "Let's Eat Out!" has been featured in 200-plus magazines, newspapers, radio & TV shows, endorsed by celiac/coeliac & food allergy associations world-wide and is available in over 25 countries. The book explores seven international cuisines which can be found in many cities and countries around the world. The book facilitates safe eating experiences through detailed knowledge about common food allergens such as corn, dairy, eggs, fish, gluten, peanuts, shellfish, soy, tree nuts and wheat. With hundreds of menu item choices showcasing ingredients, hidden allergens & preparation techniques, this proven approach focuses on what can be safely eaten when ordering meals in restaurants based upon cuisine-specific choices. The easy-to-use preparation checklists & travel guidelines are further detailed for effective communication to experience the freedom of safe eating anywhere. Each cuisine describes suggested dishes, meal descriptions and potential food allergen considerations. To determine the 175-plus menu items provided in these chapters, thousands of menus and recipes from all over the world were researched to identify which items were most commonly found in each cuisine. Once established, each was then reviewed to determine which had the highest likelihood of being gluten and wheat-free. The selection was further narrowed down by which dishes had the highest likelihood of not including the eight other food allergens. Then, ingredients, food preparation techniques, hidden allergens & cross-contamination concerns were defined for each menu item. To ensure accuracy, rigorous quality assurance testing was also conducted with chefs, restaurants & culinary schools world-wide to confirm each of the descriptions, considerations and traditional/non-traditional culinary practices. Other sections of the book focus on additional eating out and travel guidelines including the proven guest and restaurant approach to safe eating experiences, the learning curve for special diets and the collaborative process. Snack, breakfast and beverage suggestions help individuals safely travel on-the-road with confidence and ease. Applicable checklists detailing considerations for airlines, snacks, hotels, cruise lines and foreign travel are also included for guests & travel providers. The book is organised in a manner that allows you to use the information in a number of different ways. As with any book, it can be read cover to cover as a reference guide or, if preferred, you can skip around by chapter depending upon what topics you are most interested in learning about. Each chapter stands on its own. It s all about your needs, preferences and areas of concern. Armed with the critical questions to ask and appropriate knowledge, guests have the opportunity and freedom to safely eat in any restaurant. At the same time, eating establishments can ensure that potentially problematic ingredients, preparation techniques and cross-contamination concerns are addressed when preparing and serving special diet guests.
