 English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030775712 | 676 pages | True PDF EPUB | 268.06 MB This book explores state-of-art techniques based on open-source software and statistical programming and modelling in modern geospatial applications, specifically focusing on recent trends in data mining techniques and robust modelling in Geomorphological, Hydrological, Bio-physical and Social activities. The book is organized into physical, mountainous, coastal, riverine, forest, urban and biological activities, with each chapter providing a review of the current knowledge in the focus area, and evaluating where future efforts should be directed. The text compiles a collection of recent developments and rigorous applications of Geospatial computational intelligence (e.g., artificial neural network, spatial interpolation, physical and environmental modelling and machine learning algorithms etc) in geomorphic processes from a team of expert contributors.The authors address the wide range of challenges and uncertainties in the study of earth system dynamics due to climate change, and complex anthropogenic interferences where spatial modelling may be applied in therisk assessment of vulnerable geomorphological landscapes.The book will act as a guide to find recent advancements in geospatial artificial intelligence techniques and its application to natural and social hazards. This information will be helpful for students, researchers, policy makers, environmentalists, planners involved in natural hazard and disaster management, NGOs, and government organizations.

With advancements in digital signal processing, power electronics, and packaging technology, it is feasible to fit science instruments and communication devices that were traditionally carried on larger satellites on CubeSat consolations. This not only reduces mission cost, repair, risk, but also provides more precise and real-time science data. Their low cost and versatility allow for CubeSats to be used to test technologies that are planned to use on larger satellites, to collect point-to-point data in space when launched as CubeSat constellations, or to monitor health of larger spacecrafts. This comprehensive reference explores CubeSat standards, launching methods, and detailed design guidelines for antennas specially made for CubeSat applications. Deployed CubeSat antennas, such as low gain antennas, high gain wire-based antennas, and horn and dish antennas as they relate to the technology are explored. Conformal CubeSat Antennas, including those that are independent of CubeSats and those integrated in CubeSat solar panels, are discussed. An antenna design guideline is provided to demonstrate the basics of a CubeSat link budget, which is transitionally published in signal and system community. Written by an expert in the field, this book enables readers to read antenna specifics when choosing communication front-end.  English | 2020 | ISBN: 1783325496 | 439 pages | PDF | 24.7 MB ANIMAL MICROBIOLOGY provides a wide range of basic knowledge. This book consists of three parts namely; Bacteriology, Mycology and Virology. Each part contains an overview and several monographs. The overview introduces the basic theory of microbiology. Monograph introduces the biological characteristics, pathogenicity and detection techniques and preventive measures of important pathogenic microorganisms related to animal husbandry. The microorganisms described in this book are presently popular in animals all over the world. Based on the spirit of 'one health, one medicine', this book also introduces microbes that occur in both humans and animals. This book is helpful for undergraduates, post graduate students and faculties as well. KEY FEATURES: * Easy and lucid language * Suitable for beginners interested in microorganism * Content is systematic, scientific and practical * Covers wide range such as; veterinary medicine, animal quarantine, animal pharmacy, animal husbandry, zoology, food science, agricultural and forestry science.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030828786 , 978-0521182300 | 403 pages | True PDF EPUB | 199.44 MB Behavioural observations from both the field and captivity indicate that same-sex sexual interactions are widespread throughout the animal kingdom, and occur quite frequently in certain non-human species. Proximate studies of these phenomena have yielded important insights into genetic, hormonal and neural correlates. In contrast, there has been a relative paucity of research on the evolutionary aspects. Homosexual Behaviour in Animals seeks to redress this imbalance by exploring animal same-sex sexual behaviour from an evolutionary perspective. Contributions focus on animals that routinely engage in homosexual behaviour and include birds, dolphin, deer, bison and cats, as well as monkeys and apes, such as macaques, gorillas and bonobos. A final chapter looks at human primates. This book will appeal to graduate students and researchers in evolutionary biology, biological anthropology, zoology, evolutionary psychology, animal behaviour and anyone interested in the current state of knowledge in this area of behavioural studies.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030882640 | 78 pages | True PDF EPUB | 240.53 MB This book is a dissection manual and atlas on the anatomy of the eyelid, orbit, and lacrimal system; it functions as a succinct yet comprehensive resource.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 0367535033 | 241 pages | True PDF | 10.39 MB This book provides an overview and analysis of the thought of figures across the human and social sciences on the character, causes, and consequences of discontent in modern societies. Exploring the important social and cultural conditions associated with modernity, it focuses on the contributions of 38 prominent scholars from the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries - philosophers, historians, and social scientists - on the subject of discontent and social malaise, and individual and collective well-being. Thematically organized, this volume offers brief portraits of the lives and key ideas of these thinkers, leading toward a presentation of modernity as a "differentiated complaint." Reclaiming an important tradition in the human and social sciences that sees life on a grand scale, that integrates personal affairs with social and cultural matters, and that dares people to recommit themselves to this broader vision of human involvement,Anatomies of Modern Discontentwill appeal to readers across the social sciences and humanities, particularly those with interests in social theory, sociology, and philosophy.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 1032270209 | 317 pages | True PDF | 8.29 MB This book is a compilation of all basic topics of Analytical Geometry of Two Dimensions and is intended to serve as an introductory text aimed towards undergraduate and graduate students in science and technology.
