Device aided therapies are emerging as mainstay of treatment of Parkinson’s in the advanced stages of the condition and also in the “earlier” stages of advanced PD. With the numbers of patients set to double by 2040, the societal and medical costs of advanced PD are likely to be of enormous consequence to patients , carers, medical communities and also policymakers. Device based therapies therefore, chosen properly and in right patients have much to offer for patients, carers and health care professionals and can range from subcutaneous options ( such as the newly available levodopa or apomorphine) to deep brain stimulation and also experimental delivery methods using neurotrophic factors. In this comprehensive state of the art book we discuss these latest options from a global set of key opinion leaders and also emerging specialists using a gender balanced modern and nuanced approach .

Piezoelectric Materials, Composites, and Devices: Fundamentals, Mechanics, and Applications provides insights on developing and applying optimal piezoelectric devices with high performance and durability. Overviews of the fundamentals of piezoelectricity, piezoelectric parameters, and common characterization techniques are given, as are examples of the structures and properties of piezoelectric ceramics, polymers, their composites, and lead-free piezoelectric materials. Reliable characterization of piezoelectric materials and composites by combining numerical simulations with appropriate measurements is covered as well. Basic equations and modeling approaches are also presented, making it easier to understand the stress and electric fields of piezoelectric devices.The book also covers piezoelectric energy harvesters, piezoelectric biosensors, as well as the performance of advanced piezoelectric devices. The final part of the book concentrates on reliability and durability (fracture and fatigue) of piezoelectric materials and composites.

Fundamentals of Uncertainty Quantification for Engineers: Methods and Models provides a comprehensive introduction to uncertainty quantification (UQ) accompanied by a wide variety of applied examples, implementation details, and practical exercises to reinforce the concepts outlined in the book. Sections start with a review of the history of probability theory and recent developments of UQ methods in the domains of applied mathematics and data science. Major concepts of probability axioms, conditional probability, and Bayes’ rule are discussed and examples of probability distributions in parametric data analysis, reliability, risk analysis, and materials informatics are included.Random processes, sampling methods, and surrogate modeling techniques including multivariate polynomial regression, Gaussian process regression, multi-fidelity surrogate, support-vector machine, and decision tress are also covered. Methods for model selection, calibration, and validation are introduced next, followed by chapters on sensitivity analysis, stochastic expansion methods, Markov models, and non-probabilistic methods. The book concludes with a chapter describing the methods that can be used to predict UQ in systems, such as Monte Carlo, stochastic expansion, upscaling, Langevin dynamics, and inverse problems, with example applications in multiscale modeling, simulations, and materials design.
