New approaches in multiphysics and multiscale modelling of solidification are described. This includes particularly our new combination of meshless methods on macroscopic level and point automata method on microscopic level. Dendritic growth morphology and mezoscopic structures are demonstrated in the process of continuous casting of steel. Such modelling allows detailed simulation analysis of materials production. With obtained results we can improve the quality of finished products and increase the energy efficiency of production, which is critical in the metallurgical industry.

COBISS.SI-ID: 2001915The book was inspired by the current trends in the fast developing research of the wireless sensors and computer networking areas. Previous knowledge and experience of the editors was fruitfully upgraded by promising applied results of the EU FP7 project ProSense that was initiated, developed and implemented by enthusiastic project consortium members. The specific domain of the emerging wireless sensor technology fused with computer networking is represented in the book by a holistic approach.

COBISS.SI-ID: 24198439The cryotherapy has a beneficial impact on rehabilitation after injury or surgery. However, therapeutic protocols and devices are not standardized, and clinical outcome can therefore not be related accurately to the cryotherapeutic protocols. We implement a study for Wegener, Belgium, to obtain in-vivo data about temperatures of the inner knee parts and to assess the differences between two cryotherapeutic methods: conventional cooling with gel-pack, and computer controlled cryotherapy. The cooling was performed over 12 hours. Temperatures were measured electronically every second for 16 hours after surgery in twenty patients following ACL at University clinical Centre Ljubljana. We find out that the computer controlled device outperformed the classical method of cooling with its significantly higher effectiveness and its ability to control the heat transfer.
