 English | 2021 | ISBN: 3110737507 | 212 pages | pdf, epub | 5.27 MB The book series "Smart Computing Applications" provides a platform for researchers, academicians and practitioners to exchange ideas on recent theoretical and applied data science and computing technologies research, with a particular attention to the possible applications of such technologies in the industry, especially in the field of mechanical and industrial engineering.
 English | 2021 | ISBN: 1991201044 | 344 pages | pdf | 14.19 MB In order to understand the relationship between social innovation and the reimagining of the knowledge economy necessary to reorient higher education most fully towards the public good, we must draw from the experiences of those working on the front lines of change. This collection represents diverse voices and disciplines, drawing together the critical reflections of academics, students and community partners from across South Africa. The book seeks to bring together theoretical and practical lessons about how research methods can be used in socially innovative ways to challenge the 'apartheids' of knowledge in higher education and to promote the democratization of the knowledge economy.
 English | 2021 | ISBN: 0323756263 | 163 pages | pdf, epub | 72.47 MB Calipered kinematic alignment was proposed by Dr. Stephen M. Howell to enable the accurate and individualized placement of total knee components coincidentwithin ?±0.5 mm of the patient's pre-arthritic alignment. The aim was to restore the patient's native joint kinematics and thereby address the well documented 20% dissatisfaction when total knee replacement is performed using traditional, or mechanical alignment techniques.  English | 2003 | ISBN: 9780841298477 | 322 pages | pdf | 55.07 MB Broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) is a rapidly growing analytical technique in academia and industry that is used to explore the molecular dynamics of polymers, liquids, and solids. Analytical chemists seeking to utilize this technique will find the necessary fundamentals in this work as well as details of experimental practices in polymer dynamics and aqueous systems. Authors from academia provide a diverse overview of different research, and Dr. Hunter Woodward introduces and edits the work with a focus on practice. His experience in industrial research and development across several industries ranging from oil & gas to pharmaceuticals enables him to showcase the connections of a technique that is generally distributed across many journals and fields. Readers will find the practicalities valuable and find inspiration in the examples provided.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 1774630400 | 322 pages | pdf | 10.53 MB This valuable volume highlights biotechnological tools and their utilization for biotic stress management in the tomato plant, one of the world's most important vegetable crops consumed by us in our daily diet and which is vulnerable to over 200 diseases as well as the impact of global climate change.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 3110616874 | 348 pages | pdf | 3.84 MB Biopharmaceuticals, medicines made by or from living organisms (including cells from living organisms), are extremely effective in treating a broad range of diseases. Their importance to human health has grown significantly over the years as more biopharmaceutical products have entered the market, and now the biggest selling drugs in the world are biopharmaceuticals. Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing: Principles, Processes and Practices provides concise, comprehensive, and up-to-date coverage of biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Written in a clear and informal style, the content has been influenced by the authors' substantial industry experience and teaching expertise. That expertise enables the authors to address the many questions posed over the years both by university students and professionals with experience in the field. Consequently, the book will appeal both to undergraduate or graduate students using it as a textbook and specialized industry practitioners seeking to understand the big picture of biopharmaceutical manufacturing. This book:  English | 2021 | ISBN: 3110727293 | 412 pages | pdf | 13.01 MB This book covers different aspects of bioinorganic chemistry with in-depth and up-to-date coverage. Topics include photosynthesis, nitric oxide complexes and their therapeutic aspects in human beings and plants, carbon monoxide complexes and their therapeutic aspects in human beings and plants, and gaseous signaling molecule hydrogen sulfide and their donors in ophthalmic diseases and physiological implications in plants.
 English | 2021 | ISBN: 1032114940 | 137 pages | pdf | 6.13 MB We are bombarded with statistical data each and every day, and healthcare professionals are no exception. All sectors of healthcare rely on data provided by insurance companies, consultants, research firms, and government to help them make a host of decisions regarding the delivery of medical services. But while these health professionals rely on data, do they really make the best use of the information? Not if they fail to understand whether the assumptions behind the formulas generating the numbers make sense. Not if they don't understand that the world of healthcare is flooded with inaccurate, misleading, and even dangerous statistics. The purpose of this book is to provide members of medical and other professions, including scientists and engineers, with a basic understanding of statistics and probability together with an explanation and worked examples of the techniques. It does not seek to confuse the reader with in-depth mathematics but provides basic methods for interpreting data and making inferences. The worked examples are medically based, but the principles apply to the analysis of any numerical data.
 English | 2021 | ISBN: 1484272919 | 162 pages | pdf, epub | 7.55 MB Did you know that the most common cloud security threats happen because of cloud service misconfigurations, not outside attacks? If you did not, you are not alone. In the on-premises world, cybersecurity risks were limited to the organization's network, but in the era of cloud computing, both the impact and likelihood of potential risks are significantly higher. With the corresponding advent of DevOps methodology, security is now the responsibility of everyone who is part of the application development life cycle, not just the security specialists. Applying the clear and pragmatic recommendations given in this book, you can reduce the cloud applications security risks in your organization.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 0197566103 | 249 pages | True (PDF EPUB) | 13.01 MB Are super-capable robots and algorithms destined to devour our jobs and idle much of the adult population? Predictions of a jobless future have recurred in waves since the advent of industrialization, only to crest and retreat as new jobs-usually better ones-have replaced those lost to machines. But there's good reason to believe that this time is different. Ongoing innovations in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics are already destroying more decent middle-skill jobs than they are creating, and may be leading to a future of growing job scarcity. But there are many possible versions of that future, ranging from utterly dystopian to humane and broadly appealing. It all depends on how we respond. |
