SMART CITY INFRASTRUCTURE The wide range of topics presented in this book have been chosen to provide the reader with a better understanding of smart cities integrated with AI and blockchain and related security issues. The goal of this book is to provide detailed, in-depth information on the state-of-the-art architecture and infrastructure used to develop smart cities using the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain security—the key technologies of the fourth industrial revolution. The book outlines the theoretical concepts, experimental studies, and various smart city applications that create value for inhabitants of urban areas. Several issues that have arisen with the advent of smart cities and novel solutions to resolve these issues are presented. The IoT along with the integration of blockchain and AI provides efficient, safe, secure, and transparent ways to solve different types of social, governmental, and demographic issues in the dynamic urban environment. A top-down strategy is adopted to introduce the architecture, infrastructure, features, and security. Audience The core audience is researchers in artificial intelligence, information technology, electronic and electrical engineering, systems engineering, industrial engineering as well as government and city planners.

The femur, or thigh bone, is the only bone in the thigh and is the longest bone in the body. It acts as the site of origin and attachment for many muscles and ligaments, and the head forms a ball and socket joint with the hip.The femoral neck connects the femoral shaft with the femoral head. Femoral neck fractures are a type of intracapsular hip fracture – the junctional location makes the neck prone to fracture.The Femoral Neck System (FNS) addresses clinical challenges associated with the fixation of femoral neck fractures.Authored by a team of highly experienced trauma surgeons and orthopaedic specialists, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the FNS, detailing its design, biomechanical principles, clinical applications, and rehabilitation protocols.The book begins with a detailed examination of femoral neck fractures, including definitions, classifications, epidemiology, and incidence rates, as well as comparative analysis of various fixation methods.The next chapter covers design and components of implants, including screws, plates, and locking mechanisms.The following sections provide step-by-step surgical procedures for femoral neck fracture fixation, explaining positioning, intraoperative considerations, tips for optimal implant placement, and postoperative care and rehabilitation.The book concludes with discussion on common complications and their management, clinical outcomes and studies, and future perspectives and innovations.Compiling the latest data, research and expert opinions, chapters feature anecdotal notes for the fixation system, pearls, charts, figures, and diagrams, to provide an invaluable resource for specialists involved in the management of femoral neck fractures.

This three-volume book is the proceeding of the 46th Australasian Universities Building Education Association (AUBEA) 2023 Conference which brings together papers on construction and built environment education and practice. This particular conference theme, “Creating Capacity and Capability: Embracing Advanced Technologies and Innovations for Sustainable Future in Building Education and Practice” is closely related to a flagship national research programme funded by the Government of New Zealand, known as the CanConstructNZ research programme, aiming to balance the capacity and capability in the construction industry and the national pipeline of construction projects. The capacity and capability of our construction industry in fulfilling the construction needs of the whole nation are reflected in the national pipeline of construction projects and have long been recognised as one of the main challenges facing the construction sector. The practices and education of building and construction play an important role in determining the capacity and capability of the construction industry. Within the context of achieving sustainable future and embracing advanced technologies to create capacity and capability in the construction sector, various concepts, research, and innovative development have emerged and taken place. This particular conference theme has facilitated more in-depth discourses and discussions on the latest ideas and innovation within the building and construction education and practice, not only from the Australasian region but also from the wider international community, including the USA, the UK, Brazil, South Africa, Nigeria, China, and Sri Lanka. The contents of this book will be of interest to academic researchers, industry professionals and policy makers alike.

This book is a comprehensive, concise collection but a complete overview of a critical topic i.e. Vitamin D. There is no book available as yet exclusively on Vitamin D. For patients, the importance of Vitamin D holds across all age groups, both sexes, and for medical professionals, across all medical specialties existing today. Vitamin D is significantly and intricately related to all the human body's organ systems. This topic is of interest, significance, and relevance to every medical professional of all subjects and specialties, including postgraduate students of super specialty subjects across the globe. It is the talk and topic of today's research worldwide. This book encompasses Vitamin D in terms of its need and role, deficiency, excessive states, and its consequences and presentations. The chapters include information about vitamin D across pediatrics to geriatrics. This book is a crisp, easy-to-carry guide on Vitamin D, written by academicians and researchers. The authors are from relevant specialties concerned with Vitamin D, e.g., Gastroenterology, Endocrinology, Medical Oncology, Dermatology, Neurology, Pharmacology, Biochemistry, Preventive and Social Medicine, Pediatrics, to name a few. The chapters include the problem statement of its deficiency, laboratory estimation, clinical manifestations, interactions, and role in the well-being of various organ systems of the body.Additionally, it includes tables, figures, pictures, scans, and pictorial representations for lucid reading and easy understanding.

This volume aims to be an evidence-based, one-stop, comprehensive, lucid scientific document covering all the aspects and dimensions of low back pain.

They are one of the leading causes of loss of working hours in establishments and a significant cause of workers' compensation, directly impacting a country's economy. This book contains authoritative chapters covering all the aspects of low back pain, including recent advances, newer applications, epidemiology, anatomy, physiology, clinical examination, investigations, non-operative management, operative interventions, medico-legal aspects, recent advances, etc. The chapter authors are experts and well-recognized authorities and masters in their fields. The list of authors is very exhaustive and cumulative across the globe. This is to be a treatise fulfilling all the existing broad lacunae in approach, protocols, suspicion, clinical examination, diagnosis, and management of this entity. Chapters are written in easy-to-follow management plan algorithms, and keynotes for easy and ready reference describe recent advances in diagnostic modalities. Which also explains the treatment regimes in detail. The controversies are elucidated and concluded with firm and sound references from evidence-based literature. Every line will have a firm scientific standing and corroborative pictorial illustrations. The varied presentations of the disease in varied socio-economic strata and geographic regions, along with different principle-based approaches to the disease spectrum, shall be discussed at length. Different clinical settings and scenarios from pediatrics, adults, and geriatrics - all age groups will be included in the concerned chapters to keepup the interest with the topic amongst its readers and shall consist of a treatise on the historical perspectives of low back ache too. The editors aim to make this treatise on low back pain a one-stop reference textbook on the topic of "Low Back Ache" by medical students and trainees, fellows, chiropractors, medical teachers, orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists, physiotherapists, etc. all alike dealing with low back ache.
