 Environmental Foresight and Models: A Manifesto
Policy-makers and the public, it has famously been said, are more interested in the possibility of non-linear dislocations and surprises in the behaviour of the environment than in smooth extrapolations of current trends. The International Task Force in Forecasting Environmental Change (1993-1998) dedicated its work to developing procedures... |  |  Environmental Chemistry and Toxicology of Mercury
The book that looks at mercury's impact on the planet today
Recent research by the EPA has concluded that one in six women of childbearing age have unsafe levels of mercury in their bodies, which puts 630,000 newborn babies each year at risk of neurological impairment. Mercury poses severe risks to the health of animals and... |  |  Markov Random Field Modeling in Image Analysis (Advances in Pattern Recognition)
Modeling problems in this book are addressed mainly from the computational viewpoint. The primary concerns are how to define an objective function for the optimal solution to a image analysis or computer vision problem and how to find the optimal solution. The solution is defined in an optimization sense because the perfect solution is... |

 |  |  Modeling the Internet and the Web: Probabilistic Methods and AlgorithmsThe World Wide Web is growing in size at a remarkable rate. It is a huge evolving system and its data are rife with uncertainties. Probability and statistics are the fundamental mathematical tools that enable us to model, reason and infer meaningful results from such data. Modelling the Internet and the Web covers the... |  |  |
