Tung Ken's stellar designs are rich with invention, and as always, his works are beautifully illustrated and written by him. Those eager for the math behind the designs will not be disappointed." - Michael LaFosse (Origamido® Studio), author of over 50 origami books including Geometric Origami: The Art of Modular Paper Sculpture  English | 2021 | ISBN: 1774077795 | 337 pages | True PDF | 17.87 MB This book covers different topics from soft computing and neuro-fuzzy systems, including intelligent neuro-fuzzy models, adaptive neuro-fuzzy systems, neuro-fuzzy inference systems, and neuro-fuzzy control. Section 1 focuses on intelligent neuro-fuzzy models, describing fuzzy-neuro model for intelligent credit risk management; method to improve airborne pollution forecasting by using ant colony optimization; TSK-type recurrent neuro-fuzzy systems for fault prognosis; and neuro-fuzzy model for QoS based selection of web service. Section 2 focuses on adaptive neuro-fuzzy systems, describing adaptive neuro-fuzzy logic system for heavy metal sorption in aquatic environments; automatic heart disease diagnosis system based on artificial neural network (ANN); reliability estimation of services oriented systems using adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system; and prediction of soil fractions (sand, silt and clay) in surface layer based on natural radionuclides concentration. Section 3 focuses on neuro-fuzzy inference systems, describing adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system for prediction of effective thermal conductivity of polymer-matrix composites; application of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system in supply chain management evaluation; application of the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system for optimal design of reinforced concrete beams; comparison between neural network and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system for forecasting chaotic traffic volumes; and development of an alternative method for the sovereign credit rating system based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system. Section 4 focuses on neuro-fuzzy control, describing implementation of adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system in speed control of induction motor drives; neuro-fuzzy based interline power flow controller for real time power flow control in multiline power system; controlling speed of dc motor with fuzzy controller in comparison with ANFIS controller; a neuro-fuzzy controller for collaborative applications in robotics using LabVIEW; and adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control scheme for robotic systems.

The tips and tricks of safety given in this book provide a complete insight into the variability of biliary anatomy, the nuances, and the technique of addressing the safety issues during routine and complicated procedures. Additionally, the book also explores the reasons for complications in real-life situations and suggests means for their avoidance. Using high-resolution video grabs, appropriately edited, an attempt has been made to explain all critical issues during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. [b]
 English | 2021 | ISBN: 0367631393 | 400 pages | True PDF | 45.61 MB This book contains probabilistic analyses and reliability-based designs (RBDs) for the enhancement of Eurocode 7 (EC7) and load and resistance factor design (LRFD) methods. An intuitive perspective and efficient computational procedure for the first-order reliability method (FORM, which includes the Hasofer-Lind reliability index) is explained, together with discussions on the similarities and differences between the design point of EC7/LRFD and RBD-via-FORM. Probability-based designs with respect to the ultimate and serviceability limit states are demonstrated for soil and rock engineering, including shallow and deep foundations, earth-retaining structures, soil slopes, 2D rock slopes with discontinuities, 3D rock slopes with wedge mechanisms, and underground rock excavations. Renowned cases in soil and rock engineering are analyzed both deterministically and probabilistically, and comparisons are made with other probabilistic methods.  English | 2020 | ISBN: 1787568121 | 209 pages | True EPUB | 6.4 MB In today's world, decision makers struggle to make good long-term decisions. There is simply too much volatility, too much complexity, too much fake news, and too little time to make sense of all the information that is at our fingertips. We are drowning in data, surrounded by uncertainty and thus live in a world that lacks clarity. Moving away from the static thinking of many strategists, this book updates and upholds the importance of scenario design and thinking in the face of uncertainty. The authors investigate the journey of the art and science of scenario thinking, from its beginnings in the military to becoming a part of the mainstream strategy toolkit in the business world. Delving into the new frontiers of scenario thinking and planning, the book explores topics such as:  English | 2021 | ISBN: 1839531908 | 432 pages | True EPUB | 8.75 MB Over the last ten years, the numbers of unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) or "drones" have changed from being just a few specialist systems, used for scientific data gathering and military purposes, to them proliferating in huge numbers. They are used across a broad range of different leisure, commercial and military activities. UAVs can be used for: movement of items in factories for manufacturing, passenger and freight transportation, can take various roles in the agriculture and forestry industries (dispensing seeds, watering and monitoring crops), remote sensing for the oil and gas industries, traffic flow monitoring, support of emergency services, hobbies, security, military and many other applications. The expansion in the use of unmanned air vehicles has come about due to the development of low cost, high performance stable platforms, employing equally low-cost communication and navigation systems supplemented by simple to use software and interfaces. Therefore, there is a need to be able to monitor the rapidly changing use of airspace, especially at low and normally neglected altitudes to ensure UAVs do not compromise safety or are used for malicious purposes. Radar is the only sensor able to perform this function on a 24-hour, all weather, wide-area basis.
