This book examines the uses and potential risks of location-based services (LBS) in the context of big data, with a focus on location privacy protection methods.The growth of the mobile Internet and the popularity of smart devices have spurred the development of LBS and related mobile applications. However, the misuse of sensitive location data could compromise the physical and communication security of associated devices and nodes, potentially leading to privacy breaches. This book explores the potential risks to the location privacy of mobile users in the context of big data applications. It discusses the latest methods and implications of location privacy from different perspectives. The author offers case studies of three applications: statistical disclosure and privacy protection of location-based big data using a centralized differential privacy model; a user location perturbation mechanism based on a localized differential privacy model; and terminal location perturbation using a geo-indistinguishability model. Linking recent developments in three-dimensional positioning and artificial intelligence, the book also predicts future trends and provides insights into research issues in location privacy.This title will be a valuable resource for researchers, students, and professionals interested in location-based services, privacy computing and protection, wireless network security, and big data security.

With 52 videos and 47 audio files, bringing LEMG concepts and techniques to life!Authored by an esteemed team of international experts, Laryngeal Electromyography: Case Studies is the first-of-its-kind book to present multidisciplinary cases on the clinical application of laryngeal electromyography (LEMG), including key concepts and principles of LEMG interpretation. It discusses diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to treating voice disorders. It also describes electrode placement, signal interpretation, and analysis techniques specific to each of the laryngeal muscles. The book highlights how LEMG is used to diagnose neuromuscular diseases of the intrinsic laryngeal muscles, generalized neurologic disorders, monitor ongoing treatment plans, and determine the effectiveness of interventions. The text includes 21 detailed and illustrated case examples with multimedia, showing how LEMG guides patients and physicians in clinical practice to evaluate a variety of problems, including differentiating vocal fold paralysis from mechanical fixation, laryngeal myopathy, myasthenia gravis, motor neuron disease, and others. It also includes instruction and nuances of laryngeal EMG for intraoperative nerve monitoring and needle guidance during the injection of botulinum toxin.This essential guide empowers otolaryngologists, laryngologists, and voice specialists to harness the full potential of LEMG for diagnosing and managing voice disorders. Whether you are experienced in LEMG or considering its incorporation into your practice, this book offers invaluable insights and case descriptions from experts, sharing their hands-on expertise to enhance patient outcomes and clinical decision-making.

"Design Engineering for Industry 4.0 (DE4.0) represents the 'human-cyber-physical view of the systems realization ecosystem “that is necessary to accommodate the drivers of Industry 4.0 (IoX) and provide an open ecosystem for the realization of complex systems. Seamless integration of digital threads and digital twins throughout the product design, the development and fulfillment lifecycle; the ability to accommodate diverse and rapidly changing technologies; and the mechanisms to facilitate the creation of new opportunities for the design of products, processes, services, and systems are some of the desired characteristics of DE4.0."Jiao, R., Commuri, S. Panchal, J., Milisavljevic-Syed, J, Allen, J.K., Mistree, F. and Schaefer, D., "Design Engineering in the Age of Industry 4.0," ASME Journal of Mechanical Design, 143(7), 070801, 25 pages.In keeping with the Design Engineering 4.0 construct the authors describe architecting a computer platform to support human designers make decisions associated with the realization of complex engineered systems. The platform is designed to facilitate end-to-end digital integration, customization and personalization, agile collaboration networks, open innovation, co-creation and crowdsourcing, product servitization and anything-as-a-service.Recognizing that simulation models are abstractions of reality the authors opt for a satisficing strategy instead of an optimization strategy. They include fundamentals and then describe tools for architecting a knowledge-based platforms for decision support. Challenges associated with developing a computational platform for decision support for the realization of complex engineered systems in the context of Design Engineering 4.0 are identified. Constructs for formulating design decisions (e.g., selection, compromise, and coupled decisions), knowledge modelling schemes (e.g., ontologies and modular templates), diagrams for designing decision workflows (e.g., the PEI-X diagram), and some analytical methods for robust design under uncertainty are presented. The authors describe integrating the knowledge-based platform to architect a cloud-based platform for decision support promoting co-design and cloud-based design communication essential for mass collaboration and open innovation for Design Engineering 4.0.This book is a valuable resource for researchers, design engineers, and others working on pushing the boundary of digitized manufacturing to include Design Engineering 4.0 principles in designing products, processes, and services.
