This book covers all aspects of small intestinal disease with the aim of providing an up-to-date reference of the highest quality that will assist in everyday clinical practice. After introductory chapters on anatomy, pathophysiology, epidemiology, and signs and symptoms, the roles of different imaging modalities in the diagnosis of small intestinal disease are clearly explained, focusing particularly on capsule endoscopy, device-assisted enteroscopy, CT and MR enterography, and nuclear medicine techniques. A series of chapters then address each of the diseases and conditions that may be encountered. The coverage is wide ranging, including, for example, obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, Crohn's disease and other inflammatory conditions, celiac disease, Behçet's disease, Meckel's diverticulum, intestinal tuberculosis, and various malignancies. Numerous informative clinical cases are presented to identify characteristic imaging findings and assist in treatment decision making. Small intestinal disease continues to represent a significant challenge. The scope and detail of this book will make it an invaluable asset for gastroenterologists and other clinicians.

Combining theory and practice, this updated new edition provides a complete overview of how to create deep and meaningful quests for games. It uses the Unity game engine in conjunction with Fungus and other free plugins to provide an accessible entry into quest design. The book begins with an introduction to the theory and history of quests in games, before covering four theoretical components of quests: their spaces, objects, actors, and challenges. Each chapter also includes a practical section, with accompanying exercises and suggestions for the use of specific technologies for four crucial aspects of quest design: * level design * quest item creation * NPC and dialogue construction * scripting This book will be of great interest to all game designers looking to create new, innovative quests in their games. It will also appeal to new media researchers, as well as humanities scholars in the fields of mythology and depth-psychology that want to bring computer-assisted instruction into their classroom in an innovative way. The companion website includes lecture and workshop slides, and can be accessed at: www.designingquests.com

The variety of future powertrain concepts has drastically increased the development cost for automotive manufactures. Profitable investment requires a significantly leaner and efficient powertrain development process. Traditional methods of test and model based development need to be assisted by big data and data analytics. For this purpose, a valuable tool is available at the right time - artificial intelligence (AI). But what does AI really mean in a narrower sense? What concepts lie behind it? And how are the methods and algorithms transferable to powertrain applications? For the first time, this book aims to bridge the gap between automotive engineering and computer science, by illuminating the complexity of current AI concepts and demystifying it for powertrain applications. By elaborating on work processes, it shows how AI could be implemented and how completely novel methods can help us reshape the future of mobility.
