This book covers new developments and advances in the field of Computational Strategies for next-generation computing. The contributing authors share diverse perspectives on and extensive discussions of issues concerning the theory, applications, and future prospects. Addressing computing methodologies, hardware information systems...
This book provides an introduction to recent advances in theory, algorithms and application of Boolean map distance for image processing. Applications include modeling what humans find salient or prominent in an image, and then using this for guiding smart image cropping, selective image filtering, image segmentation, image matting, etc....
Far from heralding their demise, digital technologies have lead to a dramatic transformation of the public library. Around the world, libraries have reinvented themselves as networked hubs, community centres, innovation labs, and makerspaces. Coupling striking architectural design with attention to ambience and comfort, libraries have...
This book introduces an analytic framework constructed upon the iterated Prisoners' Dilemma game to model and analyze transboundary water interactions along the Nile River. It presents a thorough and in-depth analysis of the historical path through which conflict and cooperation have been generated among the Nile riparians over...
The abstract branch of theoretical computer science known as Computation Theory typically appears in undergraduate academic curricula in a form that obscures both the mathematical concepts that are central to the various components of the theory and the relevance of the theory to the typical student. This regrettable situation is due largely...
The development of pattern recognition methods on the basis of so-called Markov
models is tightly coupled to the technological progress in the field of automatic
speech recognition. Today, however, Markov chain and hidden Markov models are
also applied in many other fields where the task is the modeling and analysis of
chronologically...
Use the many types of tools required to navigate and maintain a microservice ecosystem. This book examines what is normally a complex system of interconnected services and clarifies them one at a time, first examining theoretical requirements then looking at concrete tools, configuration, and workflows.
… an excellent introduction to an interesting and ongoing field of research in physics for those who have some knowledge of quantum theory. -A. Davies, Australian and New Zealand Physicist
… a splendid book … a good reference for current undergraduates...
The volume of this new edition of the Handbook cover the basic biological, medical, physical, and electrical engineering principles. They also include experimental results concerning how electric and magnetic fields affect biological systems?both as potential hazards to health and potential tools for medical treatment and scientific...
This book collects chapters dealing with some of the theoretical aspects needed to properly discuss the dynamics of complex engineering systems. The book illustrates advanced theoretical development and new techniques designed to better solve problems within the nonlinear dynamical systems. Topics covered in this volume include...
This volume provides the latest developments in the field of fractional dynamics, which covers fractional (anomalous) transport phenomena, fractional statistical mechanics, fractional quantum mechanics and fractional quantum field theory. The contributors are selected based on their active and important contributions to their respective...
