The book aims to investigate how computational intelligence frameworks are going to improve information retrieval systems. The emerging and promising state-of-the-art of human-computer interaction is the motivation behind this book. ![]() English | 2021 | ISBN: 1774630087 | 391 pages | True PDF | 121.14 MB This textbook, Computational Fluid Dynamics and COSMOL Multiphysics: A Step-by-Step Approach for Chemical Engineers, covers computational fluid dynamics simulation using COMSOL Multiphysics® Modeling Software in chemical engineering applications. In the volume, the COMSOL Multiphysics package is introduced and applied to solve typical problems in chemical reactors, transport processes, fluid flow, and heat and mass transfer. Inspired by the difficulties of introducing the use of COMSOL Multiphysics software during classroom time, the book incorporates the author's experience of working with undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students, which helps to make the book user friendly and that, at the same time, addresses typical examples within the subjects covered in the chemical engineering curriculum. Real-world problems require the use of simulation and optimization tools, and this volume shows how COMSOL Multiphysics software can be used for that purpose. The book includes over 560 snapshots to provide a step-by-step approach to using the program for computational fluid dynamics simulations.Key features: ![]() English | 2021 | ISBN: 1119654718 | 352 pages | True PDF | 13.58 MB COMPUTATION IN BIOINFORMATICS ![]() English | 2021 | ISBN: 110842161X | 620 pages | True PDF | 16.9 MB Accurate, robust and fast image reconstruction is a critical task in many scientific, industrial and medical applications. Over the last decade, image reconstruction has been revolutionized by the rise of compressive imaging. It has fundamentally changed the way modern image reconstruction is performed. This in-depth treatment of the subject commences with a practical introduction to compressive imaging, supplemented with examples and downloadable code, intended for readers without extensive background in the subject. Next, it introduces core topics in compressive imaging - including compressed sensing, wavelets and optimization - in a concise yet rigorous way, before providing a detailed treatment of the mathematics of compressive imaging. The final part is devoted to recent trends in compressive imaging: deep learning and neural networks. With an eye to the next decade of imaging research, and using both empirical and mathematical insights, it examines the potential benefits and the pitfalls of these latest approaches. ![]() English | 2022 | ISBN: 1839531959 , 978-1839531958 | 284 pages | True PDF EPUB | 15.89 MB The intermittency of renewable energy sources is making increased deployment of storage technology necessary. Technologies are needed with high round-trip efficiency and at low cost to allow renewables to undercut fossil fuels. The cost of lithium batteries has fallen, but producing them comes with a substantial carbon footprint, as well as a cost to the local environment. ![]() English | 2021 | ISBN: 1602201722 | 431 pages | True EPUB | 11.78 MB For thousands of years, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has helped countless people with their health, and is still widely sought after today-especially by those all over the world who are intrigued by natural healing and healthcare. The culture underlying TCM is broad and the information incredibly extensive, which means it can be difficult to know where to start for those who are interested in learning. This book does just that, providing both an encyclopedia of knowledge in the field, while also acting as a practical manual to guide readers to greater health. It offers an effective, easy-to-learn set of daily TCM skills and expert advice on how to use them. Through this book, you can learn:*Basic concepts such as yin-yang, the five elements, meridians and acupoints, qi, blood flow and constitution*How to judge your own health status through constitution tests and develop a personalized health plan for yourself*How to make external adjustments for your health through TCM practices such as acupressure, cupping, scraping, heat treatment, acupuncture, massage and other methods*TCM methods of natural internal adjustments including food therapy, herbal medicine, breathing techniques, sleep, meditation, qigong and other practices that will enhance your physical and mental health from the inside out*A twelve-hour regimen with adaptations for each of the four seasons, stages in life, times of day, and place where it is practiced, allowing readers to customize the plan to their lives. ![]() English | 2021 | ISBN: 0367752603 | 251 pages | pdf | 14.79 MB Composites Innovation: Perspectives on Advancing the Industryprovides a panoramic view of innovations in the composites industry, including discussions from business leaders and the university research community on advanced applications in North America, advances in recycling of composites, the use of artificial intelligence, nanocomposites, and emerging smart composites technology. The book is arranged in five key segments including: how composites fit into our world; the basics of the technology; customer insights; pushing the boundaries with concepts from outside the world of composites and emerging composites technologies; and paths forward to find competitive and effective solutions in a timely manner. ![]() English | 2011 | ISBN: 0367425688 | 201 pages | pdf | 11.4 MB What enables individually simple insects like ants to act with such precision and purpose as a group?
