Evolutionary Algorithms in Intelligent Systems by Alfredo Milani English | PDF | 2020 | 146 Pages | ISBN : 3039436112 | 15.1 MB Evolutionary algorithms and metaheuristics are widely used to provide efficient and effective approximate solutions to computationally hard optimization problems. With the widespread use of intelligent systems in recent years, evolutionary algorithms have been applied, beyond classical optimization problems, to AI system parameter optimization and the design of artificial neural networks and feature selection in machine learning systems.
 Information Resources Management Association, "Environmental and Agricultural Informatics: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications" English | ISBN: 1522596216 | 2019 | 1734 pages | PDF | 69 MB The digital age has presented an exponential growth in the amount of data available to individuals looking to draw conclusions based on given or collected information across industries. This is evident in the environmental and agricultural industries as well.

Ter-Gazarian, "Energy Storage for Power Systems Ed 3" English | ISBN: 1785618679 | 2020 | 335 pages | PDF | 4 MB Unregulated distributed energy sources such as solar roofs and windmills and electric vehicle requirements for intermittent battery charging are variable sources either of electricity generation or demand. These sources impose additional intermittent load on conventional electric power systems. As a result thermal power plants whose generation is absolutely essential for any power system are increasingly being used for cycling operations thus increasing greenhouse gas emissions and electricity cost. The use of secondary energy storage might be a solution. Various technologies for storing electric energy are available; besides electrochemical ones such as batteries, there are mechanical, chemical and thermal means, all with their own advantages and disadvantages regarding scale, efficiency, cost, and other parameters.

As an early form of globalization, film's arrival and phenomenal growth throughout various Asian countries penetrated not only colonial territories but also captivated collective states of imagination.
 Martin Meredith, "Diamonds, Gold, and War: The British, the Boers, and the Making of South Africa" English | ISBN: 1586486411 | 2008 | 592 pages | PDF | 2 MB Southern Africa was once regarded as a worthless jumble of British colonies, Boer republics, and African chiefdoms, a troublesome region of little interest to the outside world. But then prospectors chanced upon the world's richest deposits of diamonds and gold, setting off a titanic struggle between the British and the Boers for control of the land. The result was the costliest, bloodiest, and most humiliating war that Britain had waged in nearly a century, and the devastation of the Boer republics. The New Yorker calls this magisterial account of those years "[an] astute history.... Meredith expertly shows how the exigencies of the diamond (and then gold) rush laid the foundation for apartheid." |
