Designing Inclusive Interactions contains the proceedings of the fifth Cambridge Workshop on Universal Access and Assistive Technology (CWUAAT), incorporating the 8th Cambridge Workshop on Rehabilitation Robotics, held in Cambridge, England, in March 2010. It contains contributions from an international group of leading researchers in the fields of Universal Access and Assistive Technology. This conference will mainly focus on the following principal topics: 1. Designing assistive and rehabilitation technology for working and daily living environments 2. Measuring inclusion for the design of products for work and daily living 3. Inclusive interaction design and new technologies for inclusive design 4. Assembling new user data for inclusive design 5. The design of accessible and inclusive contexts: work and daily living environments 6. Business advantages and applications of inclusive design 7. Legislation, standards and government awareness of inclusive design

Successful interaction with products, tools and technologies depends on usable designs and accommodating the needs of potential users without requiring costly training. In this context, this book is concerned with emerging ergonomics in design concepts, theories and applications of human factors knowledge focusing on the discovery, design and understanding of human interaction and usability issues with products and systems for their improvement. This book will be of special value to a large variety of professionals, researchers and students in the broad field of human modeling and performance who are interested in feedback of devices’ interfaces (visual and haptic), user-centered design, and design for special populations, particularly the elderly. We hope this book is informative, but even more - that it is thought provoking. We hope it inspires, leading the reader to contemplate other questions, applications, and potential solutions in creating good designs for all.

The Wiley Encyclopedia of Packaging Technology Packaging technology is of vital importance in all manufacturing industries. The Wiley Encyclopedia of Packaging Technology is designed to provide a comprehensive reference incorporating 188 topics from "Acrylics" to "Zero-Crush Concept" for a wide audience of engineers, technologists, and scientists who seek an introduction to unfamiliar aspects of the packaging process. In addition to providing an exhaustive reference for packaging engineers, the book is also designed to serve, for example, polymer chemists developing new products. It will also meet a need in all technical libraries for an authoritative basic reference on packaging. The 188 entries have been written by 225 acknowledged experts in academia and industry, and each has been reviewed by other experts in the field for completeness and objectivity. This encyclopedia provides coverage of all stages of the packaging process from raw materials through distribution. Multiple articles are included on all major topics, such as bags, boxes, cans, cartons, coextrusion machinery, decorating, filling machinery, films, plastics, steel, and testing. A significant contribution to packaging literature, this encyclopedia brings together in a single volume expertise from many disciplines. It contains many landmark articles, such as blow molding, corrugated boxes, fabricated cans, steel cans, economics of packaging, glass container design, glass container manufacturing, indicating devices, multilayer flexible packaging, paper, specifications and quality assurance, and international standards and practices. Numerous bibliographies accompany the articles. In addition, the encyclopedia includes over 200 tables and nearly 600 figures—all prepared with the cooperation of a distinguished Advisory Board. The result is a unique, informative work that will serve the diverse interests and concerns of those in the field of packaging with authoritative, reliable, state-of-the-art information of the subject.

The evaluation of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) by the Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (DCP3) focuses on maternal conditions, childhood illness, and malnutrition. Specifically, the chapters address acute illness and undernutrition in children, principally under age 5. It also covers maternal mortality, morbidity, stillbirth, and influences to pregnancy and pre-pregnancy. Volume 3 focuses on developments since the publication of DCP2 and will also include the transition to older childhood, in particular, the overlap and commonality with the child development volume. The DCP3 evaluation of these conditions produced three key findings: 1. There is significant difficulty in measuring the burden of key conditions such as unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, nonsexually transmitted infections, infertility, and violence against women. 2. Investments in the continuum of care can have significant returns for improved and equitable access, health, poverty, and health systems. 3. There is a large difference in how RMNCH conditions affect different income groups; investments in RMNCH can lessen the disparity in terms of both health and financial risk.
