 English | 2022 | ISBN: 0367544148 | 295 pages | True PDF | 12.07 MB Across organisations and communities there are leaders who manage to get things done through their ability to understand how a network of individuals connect, who to talk to and how to bring people together in the right constellation of effort. These are "network leaders".  English | 2022 | ISBN: 1636392970 , 978-1636392950 | 165 pages | True PDF | 8.64 MB Networks naturally appear in many high-impact domains, ranging from social network analysis to disease dissemination studies to infrastructure system design.Within network studies, network connectivity plays an important role in a myriad of applications. The diversity of application areas has spurred numerous connectivity measures, each designed for some specific tasks. Depending on the complexity of connectivity measures, the computational cost of calculating the connectivity score can vary significantly. Moreover, the complexity of the connectivity would predominantly affect the hardness of connectivity optimization, which is a fundamental problem for network connectivity studies.

English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030779459 | 318 pages | pdf, epub | 31.58 MB This book explores ideas of masculinity in the maritime world in the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century. During this time commerce, politics and technology supported male privilege,while simultaneously creating thepolite, consumerist and sedentary lifestyles that were perceived as damaging the minds and bodies of men. This volume explores this paradox through the figure of the sailor, a working-class man whose representation fulfilled numerous political and social ends in this period. It begins with the enduring image of romantic, heroic veterans of the Napeolonic wars, takes the reader through the challenges to masculinities created by encounters with other races and ethnicities,and with technological change, shifting geopolitical and cultural contexts,and ends with the fragile portrayal of masculinity in the imagined Nelson. In doing so, this edited collection shows that maritime masculinities (ideals, representations and the seamen themselves) were highly visible and volatile sites for negotiating the tensions of masculinities with civilisation, race, technology, patriotism, citizenship, and respectability during the long nineteenth century.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 111968174X | 360 pages | True EPUB | 10.48 MB The purpose of designing this book is to portray certain practical applications of nature-inspired computation in machine learning for the better understanding of the world around us. The focus is to portray and present recent developments in the areas where nature- inspired algorithms are specifically designed and applied to solve complex real-world problems in data analytics and pattern recognition, by means of domain-specific solutions.Various nature-inspired algorithms and their multidisciplinary applications (in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, machine learning, image processing, data mining and wireless network domains are detailed, which will make this book a handy reference guide.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 1637740344 | 286 pages | epub | 6.62 MB Nature puts a "survival switch" in our bodies to protect us from starvation. Stuck in the "on" position, it's the hidden source of weight gain, heart disease, and many other common health struggles. But you can turn it off.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 1800610831 | 524 pages | True PDF EPUB | 178.62 MB This book deals with natural treatment systems and the challenges the water industry faces in dealing with sustainability and the realisation of reaching Net Zero by 2030.Surface waters are all under threat, with freshwater ecosystems now facing unprecedented levels of contamination, even after a century of ever stricter legislation and regulation. The increase in population and especially in urbanization without sufficient planning and investment to ensure adequate wastewater collection and treatment coupled with the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with wastewater treatment is leading to a crisis in wastewater treatment in many countries.Natural treatment systems which use plants and soil micro-organisms are very much nature-based solutions and wherever applicable might offer sustainable and low emissions options for a range of wastewater problems protecting surface waters as well as creating new habitats to support and enhance wildlife diversity. In terms of circularity, natural treatment systems have the potential to produce a staggering array of useful and valuable by-products, including high-value compounds for the pharmaceutical industry.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 1771889608 | 336 pages | True PDF | 41.78 MB This new volume, Natural Polymers: Perspectives and Applications for a Green Approach, covers the synthesis, characterizations, and properties of natural polymeric systems, including their morphology, structure, and dynamics. It also introduces the most recent innovations and applications of natural polymers and their composites in the food, construction, electronics, biomedical, pharmaceutical, and engineering industries.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 1526518678 | 455 pages | True PDF EPUB | 47.93 MB National Insurance Contributions 2021/22 covers all classes of UK National Insurance contributions, explaining where a liability arises under each class and how to calculate that liability, as well as describing the associated administrative requirements. It also considers international issues for British citizens working abroad and foreign nationals working in the UK.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 1636392822 , 978-1636392806 | 151 pages | True PDF | 9.17 MB As long as humans have existed on the planet, they have looked at the world around them and wondered about much of what they saw. |
