 Approximate Computing and its Impact on Accuracy, Reliability and Fault-Tolerance by Gennaro S. Rodrigues, Fernanda L. Kastensmidt, Alberto Bosio English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031157168 | 137 pages | True PDF EPUB | 15.94 MB This book introduces the concept of approximate computing for software and hardwaredesigns and its impact on the reliability of embedded systems. It presents approximatecomputing methods and proposes approximate fault tolerance techniques applied toprogrammable hardware and embedded software to provide reliability at lowcomputational costs. The book also presents fault tolerance techniques based onapproximate computing, thus presenting how approximate computing can be applied tosafety-critical systems.  From Magnetic to Bioactive Materials by Rainer Pöttgen, Thomas Jüstel, Cristian A. Strassert English | 2023 | ISBN: 3110738376 | 526 pages | True PDF EPUB | 413.05 MB This work provides the broad range of applications of inorganic compounds. Due to their well defined properties they play an important role in many fields either on a large scale in our daily life or as niche products. Experts from industry and academia present the vast amount of distinguished materials focusing on their synthesis and function. Volume 2 covers e.g. electronic, magnetic, biomedical, carbon- and sulfur-based materials and ceramics.  From Energy Storage to Photofunctional Materials by Rainer Pöttgen, Thomas Jüstel, Cristian A. Strassert English | 2023 | ISBN: 3110798786 | 526 pages | True PDF EPUB | 27.41 MB This work provides the broad range of applications of inorganic compounds. Due to their well defined properties they play an important role in many fields either on a large scale in our daily life or as niche products. Experts from industry and academia present the vast amount of distinguished materials focusing on their synthesis and function.

Apples; Preharvest and Postharvest Technology by Rafiya Mushtaq English | 2022 | ISBN: 1032145560 | 345 pages | True PDF | 6.21 MB Due to polymorphism, apples have extraordinary diversity. Depending on variety, apple fruits can differ in color, shade or size; apples even can be oval or pear-shaped. There are more than 10,000 varieties of apple, which vary in taste, shape, juiciness, texture, color, firmness and other qualities. For these reasons, apples have been diversely studied, and many improvements have been made such as the introduction of high density cropping; rootstock breeding; or varietal development. Therefore it is important to understand and document the production methods adopted and implemented in recent times for harvesting maximum benefits of the crop. Apples: Preharvest and Postharvest Technology documents production practices along with detailed illustration on varieties, rootstocks, important cultural practices and post-harvest management. This book will serve as a complete guide for apple production from farm to fork and will help students, scholars, researchers and scientists working in this domain. The book will also help growers all over the world to understand best practices for apple production, to harvest maximum yields, and in turn, to increase their returns.  Animal Biographies by ric Baratay; English | 2022 | ISBN: 0820362182 | 224 pages | True EPUB | 5.92 MB What would we learn if animals could tell their own stories? Éric Baratay, a pioneering researcher in animal histories in France, applies his knowledge of historical methodologies to give voice to some of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries' most interesting animals. He offers brief yet innovative accounts of these animals' lives in a way that challenges the reader's thinking about animals.  Anarchic Agreements by Ruth Kinna English | 2022 | ISBN: 162963963X | 113 pages | True PDF | 6.27 MB A new world is possible and not just in our hearts. Anarchic Agreements is a quintessential field guide for the revolution, answering the practical questions often left out of works of political theory and philosophy. How do leaderless groups organize? How might they create constitutions, balance power and write protocols? How do group cultures and institutions maintain coalitions? This urgent and inspiring how-to is the product of more than twenty years of research. Designed explicitly for everyday use, it contains lived examples, illustrations throughout, and text from current horizontally organized constitutions. These documents illustrate the never-ending process of developing community and keeping collaborations alive in the fairest ways possible. Written by dedicated anarchist scholars and organizers, and based on the widely popular Anarchic Agreements pamphlet series, this book facilitates grassroots activism and provides methods to improve and streamline decision making. It is an inspiring celebration of the novel, complex and flexible constitutions Anarchists have created over time. This book shows how to realize another world, collectively without domination, while leaving the future open to infinite other possibilities.  Algebraic Structures in Natural Language by Shalom Lappin English | 2022 | ISBN: 1032066547 | 309 pages | True PDF | 10.2 MB Algebraic Structures in Natural Language addresses a central problem in cognitive science concerning the learning procedures through which humans acquire and represent natural language. Until recently algebraic systems have dominated the study of natural language in formal and computational linguistics, AI, and the psychology of language, with linguistic knowledge seen as encoded in formal grammars, model theories, proof theories and other rule-driven devices. Recent work on deep learning has produced an increasingly powerful set of general learning mechanisms which do not apply rule-based algebraic models of representation. The success of deep learning in NLP has led some researchers to question the role of algebraic models in the study of human language acquisition and linguistic representation. Psychologists and cognitive scientists have also been exploring explanations of language evolution and language acquisition that rely on probabilistic methods, social interaction and information theory, rather than on formal models of grammar induction.  Agricultural and Kitchen Waste; Energy and Environmental Aspects by Dan Bahadur Pal English | 2022 | ISBN: 1032158123 | 301 pages | True PDF | 28.89 MB Apart from being termed as a pollution source, agriculture and kitchen waste is also a rich source of carbohydrates, minerals, antioxidants and vitamins, and can be utilized to develop value-added products and for energy production, which is the main theme of this book. It also focuses on the minimization of this waste via different routes like conversion into bio-fertilizers, organic acids, other industrial products, and efficient energy production. It comprises different topics and concepts related to waste utilization contributed by recognized researchers and experts.  Against Progress by Jessica Silbey; English | 2022 | ISBN: 1503608301 | 450 pages | True PDF | 6.43 MB When first written into the Constitution, intellectual property aimed to facilitate "progress of science and the useful arts" by granting rights to authors and inventors. Today, when rapid technological evolution accompanies growing wealth inequality and political and social divisiveness, the constitutional goal of "progress" may pertain to more basic, human values, redirecting IP's emphasis to the commonweal instead of private interests. Against Progress considers contemporary debates about intellectual property law as concerning the relationship between the constitutional mandate of progress and fundamental values, such as equality, privacy, and distributive justice, that are increasingly challenged in today's internet age. Following a legal analysis of various intellectual property court cases, Jessica Silbey examines the experiences of everyday creators and innovators navigating ownership, sharing, and sustainability within the internet eco-system and current IP laws. Crucially, the book encourages refiguring the substance of "progress" and the function of intellectual property in terms that demonstrate the urgency of art and science to social justice today. |
