Athletes and fitness warriors in the West are constantly looking to train and recover better. They gain muscle mass through weight training but find that their sports performance suffers. They reach a target weight by following a strict diet but feel bloated or tired. They appear to be in great shape but consistently underperform because of mental stress. We need to know how to balance the different training variables available to us in order to achieve and sustain optimum fitness and performance in our lives. ​In Dynamic Balance, authors Andy (Tsz Chiu) Chan and Stella (Yat Kwan) Wong show why the rigors of Western approaches to training often create imbalances in our physical and mental health. They explain traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) principles and techniques in simple terms and demonstrate how incorporating TCM into our lifestyle and workouts can help us perform at our best and be at our healthiest. TCM is not a myth or weird alternative to real medicine but an ancient practice that’s based in science and relevant to us today. In this book, you’ll learn how to: • evaluate the current state of your body and figure out your constitution type • find the root causes of your imbalances • adapt your diet and workouts • strengthen your breathing and develop harmony in your movements • make better-informed decisions about your health Your body and fitness needs are dynamic and always changing, as are the situations in the world around you. Dynamic Balance will show you how to adjust your training, diet, and mentality to improve your performance, live a healthier life, and reach your goals.

Have you ever made a decision or executed a plan that fell short of your expectations? Many times when we ponder why, we realised we missed out certain key considerations and factors. How we wish we could turn the clock back to consider them in our decision and plans? Well it is obvious we cannot do that. So the next best thing is to make sure we have all the key information, considerations and factors listed in the first place before making that important decision or building the plan. This book is informative, easy to read and will guide you step by step in making better informed decisions, building and executing your plans for success. You would be surprised that this concept is flexible and can be applied to different scenarios from building business strategies or just making better decisions in your day to day lives. Start making your best informed decisions and plans today!

Meteorology, as practiced and universally taught today, only describes the behavior of ideal gases. Unfortunately, a huge portion of the troposphere, revealed by the mathematical formulation of earth’s atmosphere dynamic balance delivered in 2009 by Cesar Mbane Biouele, has thermal behaviors diametrically opposed to those of ideal gas. Due to this mistake, many things meteorology offers in this pertinent region of the Troposphere, wrongly regarded as an ideal gas, are completely false. The effectiveness of the earth’s atmosphere dynamic balance equation derived in 2009 by C. M. Biouele is proved in his recent papers and can help to eliminate multiple errors that each of us will next time easily discover in some literary and audiovisual works on climate or meteorology. Approaches suggested by the earth’s atmosphere dynamic balance Meteorology will greatly improve our knowledge on kinematics and thermodynamics profiles of several weather events. Especially: Earth’s Atmosphere General Circulation, Earth’s atmosphere prevailing surface winds, Hurricanes and Cyclones wind’s profiles, Relationships between earth’s rotation or revolution and geographical extent of the global surface monsoons and Physics of Atmosphere Dynamic or Electric Balance Processes Such As Thunderclouds and Related Lightning Flashes.

This book covers the state-of-the-art technologies in dynamic balancing of mechanisms with minimum increase of mass and inertia. The synthesis of parallel robots based on the Decomposition and Integration concept is also covered in detail. The latest advances are described, including different balancing principles, design of reactionless mechanisms with minimum increase of mass and inertia, and synthesizing parallel robots. This is an ideal book for mechanical engineering students and researchers who are interested in the dynamic balancing of mechanisms and synthesizing of parallel robots. This book also: · Broadens reader understanding of the synthesis of parallel robots based on the Decomposition and Integration concept · Reinforces basic principles with detailed coverage of different balancing principles, including input torque balancing mechanisms · Reviews exhaustively the key recent research into the design of reactionless mechanisms with minimum increase of mass and inertia, such as the design of reactionless mechanisms with auxiliary parallelograms, the design of reactionless mechanisms with flywheels, and the design of reactionless mechanisms by symmetrical structure design.

This book presents a collection of quality chapters on the state-of-the-art of research efforts in the area of smart devices and novel machine design, as well as their practical applications to enable advanced manufacturing. The first section presents a broad-based review of several key areas of research in smart devices and machines. The second section is focused on presenting an in-depth treatment of a particular device or machine. The book will be of interest to a broad readership.

Balance Dysfunction in Parkinson’s Disease: Basic Mechanisms to Clinical Management presents the most updated information on a variety of topics. Sections help clinicians evaluate the types of balance control issues, dynamic balance dysfunction during turning, and the effects of medication, deep brain stimulation, and rehabilitation intervention on balance control. This book is the first to review the four main postural control systems and how they are affected, including balance during quiet stance, reactive postural adjustments to external perturbations, anticipatory postural adjustments in preparation for voluntary movements, and dynamic balance control during walking and turning. In addition, the book's authors summarize the effects of levodopa, deep brain stimulation, and rehabilitation intervention for each balance domain. This book is recommended for anyone interested in how and why balance control is affected by PD. Provides the first comprehensive review of research to date on balance dysfunctions in Parkinson's disease Discusses how to translate current neuroscience research into practice regarding neural control of balance Provides evidence on the effects of current interventions on balance control
