 English | 2022 | ISBN: 0807015768 | 229 pages | True EPUB | 2.38 MB Why social, racial, and economic justice is just as crucial as science in determining how humans can reverse climate catastrophe.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 303095160X | 315 pages | True PDF EPUB | 18.57 MB The authors explore various aspects of information processing for the design of service systems, efficient management, secure storage, and transmission. In addition, the subline provides knowledge and practice in decentralized ICT technologies, including those based on blockchain. The aim of this book is to analyze and develop methods of building decentralized private databases without the presence of a trusted party, methods of data processing in encrypted form to ensure the confidentiality of information, and accessibility of the corresponding fragment of the original or transformed data. In this book it is also relevant to research methods and protocols routing in infocommunication networks, which provides load balancing in the network, and analysis of intrusion detection methods based on analysis of signatures and anomalies in network behavior (state changes) based on machine learning and fractal analysis methods.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030933091 | 129 pages | True PDF EPUB | 6.89 MB This book evaluates the impact of relevant factors affecting the results of speech quality assessment studies carried out in crowdsourcing. The author describes how these factors relate to the test structure, the effect of environmental background noise, and the influence of language differences. He details multiple user-centered studies that have been conducted to derive guidelines for reliable collection of speech quality scores in crowdsourcing. Specifically, different questions are addressed such as the optimal number of speech samples to include in a listening task, the influence of the environmental background noise in the speech quality ratings, as well as methods for classifying background noise from web audio recordings, or the impact of language proficiency in the user perception of speech quality. Ultimately, the results of these studies contributed to the definition of the ITU-T Recommendation P.808 that defines the guidelines to conduct speech quality studies in crowdsourcing.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 0691207763 | 174 pages | True EPUB | 3.24 MB From a devoted reader and lifelong bookseller, an eloquent and charming reflection on the singular importance of bookstores  English | 2022 | ISBN: 0367459078 | 265 pages | True PDF | 7.6 MB Inflammation, once considered a physiological response to foreign pathogens, is now recognized as a crucial pathological player in the initiation and progression of several chronic diseases, including diabetes, obesity, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and many others. Considering that cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of death in the United States and worldwide, the identification of critical inflammatory processes is of utmost importance to devising new immune-based therapeutics that can be added to existing regimens. This book provides detailed information on aspects of inflammation and the manner in which immune activation pathways affect the progression of cardiovascular diseases and the repair/regeneration mechanisms of underlying diseased tissues.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 1032133139 | 285 pages | True PDF | 13.36 MB Taking a critical view,Homeopathy: An Illusion of Effectivenessis a treasure trove of information regarding the homeopathic system of medicine, reasoning through various unanswered questions concerning its principles and the scientific basis of its remedies. This book posits that the principles of homeopathy are inaccurate and homeopathic drugs have no therapeutic utility.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 1138478881 | 599 pages | True PDF | 64.74 MB Handbook of Sustainable Polymers for Additive Manufacturing provides the latest technical information on sustainable materials used in additive manufacturing (AM).
