Biometrics and Kansei Engineering is the first book to bring together the principles and applications of each discipline. The future of biometrics is in need of new technologies that can depend on people’s emotions and the prediction of their intention to take an action.  Behavioral biometrics studies the way people walk, talk, and express their emotions, and Kansei Engineering focuses on interactions between users, products/services and product psychology.  They are becoming quite complementary. This book also introduces biometric applications in our environment, which further illustrates the close relationship between Biometrics and Kansei Engineering. Examples and case studies are provided throughout this book.  Biometrics and Kansei Engineering is designed as a reference book for  professionals working in these related fields. Advanced-level students and researchers studying computer science and engineering will find this book useful as a reference or secondary text book as well.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 16th IFIP TC8 International Conference on Computer Information Systems and Industrial Management, CISIM 2017, held in Bialystok, Poland, in June 2017. The 60 regular papers presented together with 5 keynotes were carefully reviewed and Selected from 85 submissions. They are organized in the following topical sections: algorithms; biometrics and pattern recognition applications; data analysis and information retrieval; engineering of enterprise software products; industrial management and other applications; modelling and optimization; various aspects of computer security.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 12th IFIP TC 8 International Conference, CISIM 2013, held in Cracow, Poland, in September 2013. The 44 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from over 60 submissions. They are organized in topical sections on biometric and biomedical applications; pattern recognition and image processing; various aspects of computer security, networking, algorithms, and industrial applications. The book also contains full papers of a keynote speech and the invited talk.

Antioxidantien sind die Moleküle, die die Oxidation anderer Moleküle hemmen. Bei der Oxidation entstehen freie Radikale, die die Zellen schädigen und die Gesundheit in hohem Maße beeinträchtigen können. Antioxidantien gibt es sowohl in natürlicher als auch in synthetischer Form. Antioxidantien sind reichhaltige Verbindungen, die vor allem in frischem Obst und Gemüse vorkommen, und ihre Rolle bei der Verhinderung degenerativer Krankheiten ist vielversprechend. Im Allgemeinen werden natürliche Antioxidantien von den Verbrauchern bevorzugt. Synthetische Antioxidantien sind in der Regel Verbindungen mit phenolischen Strukturen und verschiedenen Graden der Alkylsubstitution. Antioxidantien können im menschlichen Körper eine wichtige Rolle spielen, da sie den zellulären Oxidationsstatus ändern und Schäden an Proteinen, DNA und Membranlipiden verhindern können und das Risiko verschiedener chronischer Krankheiten wie Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen und Krebs verringern. Dieses Buch enthält Informationen über die Bedeutung von Antioxidantien, die Klassifizierung, die Vorteile für ein gesundes Leben, die Mechanismen, verschiedene Antioxidantien für die Nachhaltigkeit des Lebens, Extraktionsmethoden für Antioxidantien und ihre Nachweismethoden.
