Smys English | PDF | 2020 | 1435 Pages | ISBN : 3030372170 | 156 MB This proceedings book presents state-of-the-art research innovations in computational vision and bio-inspired techniques. Due to the rapid advances in the emerging information, communication and computing technologies, the Internet of Things, cloud and edge computing, and artificial intelligence play a significant role in the computational vision context.  Computational Science and Its Applications - ICCSA 2018: 18th International Conference, Melbourne, VIC, Australia, July 2-5, 2018, Proceedings, Part V by Osvaldo Gervasi English | PDF | 2018 | 800 Pages | ISBN : 3319951734 | 103.84 MB The five volume set LNCS 10960 until 10964 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications, ICCSA 2018, held in Melbourne, Australia, in July 2018.  Computational Approaches in Physics (Iop Concise Physics) by Maria Fyta English | November 1, 2016 | ISBN: 1643278398 | 136 pages | PDF (Converted) | 5.68 Mb Computational Approaches in Physics reviews computational schemes which are used in the simulations of physical systems. These range from very accurate ab initio techniques up to coarse-grained and mesoscopic schemes. The choice of the method is based on the desired accuracy and computational efficiency. A bottom-up approach is used to present the various simulation methods used in Physics, starting from the lower level and the most accurate methods, up to particle-based ones. The book outlines the basic theory underlying each technique and its complexity, addresses the computational implications and issues in the implementation, as well as present representative examples. A link to the most common computational codes, commercial or open source is listed in each chapter. The strengths and deficiencies of the variety of techniques discussed in this book are presented in detail and visualization tools commonly used to make the simulation data more comprehensive are also discussed. In the end, specific techniques are used as bridges across different disciplines. To this end, examples of different systems tackled with the same methods are presented. The appendices include elements of physical theory which are prerequisites in understanding the simulation methods.  Barry Godfrey, Clive Emsley, Graeme Dunstall, "Comparative Histories of Crime" English | 2003 | pages: 237 | ISBN: 1843920360, 1843920379 | PDF | 5,0 mb This book aims to both reflect and take forward current thinking on comparative and cross-national and cross-cultural aspects of the history of crime. Its content is wide-ranging: some chapters discuss the value of comparative approaches in aiding understanding of comparative history, and providing research directions for the future; others address substantive issues and topics that will be of interest to those with interests in both history and criminology. Overall the book aims to broaden the focus of the historical context of crime and policing to take fuller account of cross-national and cross-cultural factors.  Cold War Radio: The Russian Broadcasts of the Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty by Mark G. Pomar English | October 1, 2022 | ISBN: 1640125140 | True EPUB | 344 pages | 2.3 MB Cold War Radio is a fascinating look at how the United States waged the Cold War through the international broadcasting of Voice of America (VOA) and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL). Mark G. Pomar served in senior positions at VOA and RFE/RL from 1982 to 1993, during which time the Reagan and Bush administrations made VOA and RFE/RL an important part of their foreign policy.  Cognitive Functioning in Schizophrenia: Leveraging the RDoC Framework English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031264401 | 987 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 21 MB This book highlights recent research investigating psychological and neural mechanisms contributing to dysfunctional cognition in people with schizophrenia. The work on cognition in schizophrenia from the past 20 years is highlighted, and emphasis throughout the book is placed on utilizing the Research Domain Criterion framework. Thus, the book also covers animals work relevant to schizophrenia that assesses behaviors utilizing the same framework, enabling mechanistic studies and highlighting potential biomarkers of function. The book also includes important areas of research in the field of cognitive function in schizophrenia that have received less attention, such as cognitive side-effects of current treatments and olfactory-based cognition. Altogether, the book provides a translational perspective of the most-up-to-date research on cognition in schizophrenia to-date, but with identification of novel directions for research initiatives..  Cloud Native AI and Machine Learning on AWS by Rangarajan, Premkumar;Bounds, David;, David Bounds English | 2023 | ISBN: 9355513267 | 589 pages | True EPUB | 6.15 MB  Clinical Ophthalmic Oncology: Retinal Tumors by Arun D. Singh English | PDF,EPUB | 2019 | 172 Pages | ISBN : 3030041123 | 118.92 MB Written by internationally renowned experts, the 3rd edition of this six volume textbook provides detailed practical guidance and advice on the diagnosis and management of the complete range of ocular cancers. Supplying the reader with state-of-the-art knowledge required in order to identify these cancers early and to treat them as effectively as possible, this book is divided into six volumes: Basic Principles, Eyelid and Conjunctival Tumors, Orbital Tumors, Uveal Tumors, Retinal Tumors, and Retinoblastoma.  Climbing California's Fourteeners: Hiking the State's 15 Peaks Over 14,000 Feet (Climbing Mountains Series) by Toby Evans English | September 1, 2021 | ISBN: 1493045466 | 224 pages | PDF | 12 Mb From the southernmost peak of Mt. Langley to Mt. Shasta in the north, California's fifteen peaks of 14,000 feet or more are some of the most challenging and beautiful mountains in the country. Over the past decade the rise of endurance activities (including obstacle racing) and the popularity of reality television have increased the popularity of these daunting climbs (California's Fourteeners have been featured on The Amazing Race, Man vs. Wild, and Django Unchained).  Craig Taylor, "Chivalry and the Ideals of Knighthood in France during the Hundred Years War" English | 2016 | pages: 366 | ISBN: 1316631125, 1107042216 | PDF | 2,4 mb Craig Taylor's study examines the wide-ranging French debates on the martial ideals of chivalry and knighthood during the period of the Hundred Years War (1337-1453). Faced by stunning military disasters and the collapse of public order, writers and intellectuals carefully scrutinized the martial qualities expected of knights and soldiers. They questioned when knights and men-at-arms could legitimately resort to violence, the true nature of courage, the importance of mercy, and the role of books and scholarly learning in the very practical world of military men. Contributors to these discussions included some of the most famous French medieval writers, led by Jean Froissart, Geoffroi de Charny, Philippe de Mézières, Honorat Bovet, Christine de Pizan, Alain Chartier and Antoine de La Sale. This interdisciplinary study sets their discussions in context, challenging modern, romantic assumptions about chivalry and investigating the historical reality of debates about knighthood and warfare in late medieval France. |
