Super-Resolution for Remote Sensing (Unsupervised and Semi-Supervised Learning)


Free Download Super-Resolution for Remote Sensing (Unsupervised and Semi-Supervised Learning) by Michal Kawulok, Jolanta Kawulok, Bogdan Smolka
English | October 15, 2024 | ISBN: 3031681053 | 398 pages | MOBI | 30 Mb
This book provides a comprehensive perspective over the landscape of super-resolution techniques developed for and applied to remotely-sensed images. The chapters tackle the most important problems that professionals face when dealing with super-resolution in the context of remote sensing. These are: evaluation procedures to assess the super-resolution quality; benchmark datasets (simulated and real-life); super-resolution for specific data modalities (e.g., panchromatic, multispectral, and hyperspectral images); single-image super-resolution, including generative adversarial networks; multi-image fusion (temporal and/or spectral); real-world super-resolution; and task-driven super-resolution. The book presents the results of several recent surveys on super-resolution specifically for the remote sensing community.

Sun's Season of Channels An Introduction to Chinese Philosophy, Chinese Medical Theory, and Channels


Free Download Sun's Season of Channels: An Introduction to Chinese Philosophy, Chinese Medical Theory, and Channels by Jonathan Shubs
English | July 21, 2021 | ISBN: 1787759024 | True EPUB | 208 pages | 10.6 MB
This is a creative, entry-level book on Chinese medicine theory, philosophy, and concepts told in an accessible, story-telling format in the context of a child visiting their grandparents over the summer and having lessons over afternoon tea. It presents the theory of Yin/Yang, the five elements, the Chinese Biorhythm Clock and the placement of the channels with a logical explanation in a narrative style. With a dialectic approach, it not only aids Chinese medicine students in understanding the Classical texts, but also nudges students away from memorising information and towards a deeper understanding of the channels and relevant theories.

Subject of Gender Daughters and Mothers in Urban China


Free Download Harriet Evans, "Subject of Gender: Daughters and Mothers in Urban China"
English | 2007 | ISBN: 0742554783 | PDF | pages: 248 | 4.4 mb
Women in urban China have lived through decades of political turbulence, extensive socio-economic change, and the transformation of gender practices, expectations, and relationships. Among these is the mother-daughter relationship, one that has profound influence on women's gendered subjectivity but one that has been overlooked in research on gender and family in China. In The Subject of Gender, Harriet Evans reflects on how women in urban China make sense of the shifts in practices and representations of gender that frame their lives and how their self-identification as mothers and daughters contributes to the redefinition of those practices. Based on the memories and experiences of educated and professional women of different ages, this book discusses the mother-daughter relationship through various themes: separation, communication, domestic/public boundaries, male privilege, the sexed body, reproduction, and filial responsibilities. This fascinating work draws on feminist and critical theory and on anthropological and historical research to analyze the changing articulations of gender subjectivity that emerge from the links between discursive shifts, generational difference, and individual experiences of the mother-daughter relationship.

Styles of Mathematization The Case of 18th Century Electrostatics


Free Download Styles of Mathematization: The Case of 18th Century Electrostatics by Lucas Marcelo Cavalari Nardi
English | July 16, 2025 | ISBN: 303198434X | 207 pages | PDF, EPUB | 13 Mb
This book studies the mathematization of physics, with a special emphasis on 18th century electrostatics as a case study. The mathematization of a scientific field is a fruitful yet underdeveloped topic that can be seen through different lenses. A noticeable one is the Inferential Conception proposed by Mark Colyvan and Otávio Bueno. In this regard, the use of mathematics is understood as a set of mappings relating the physical realm and the mathematical realm. However, the historical process related to the use of mathematics remains unsolved; philosophical frameworks usually have a hard time dealing with historical dimensionality. Therefore, this book provides a study of the historical process of mathematization going beyond the framework in order to explain the use of mathematics a-historically, using the aforementioned investigation of 18th century electrostatics. The research developed gravitates around two centers; the history of physics and the philosophy of science, making the book of equal importance to both historians and philosophers of science.

Structural Health Monitoring Based on Data Science Techniques


Free Download Structural Health Monitoring Based on Data Science Techniques by Alexandre Cury
English | EPUB | 2022 | 490 Pages | ISBN : 3030817156 | 105.3 MB
The modern structural health monitoring (SHM) paradigm of transforming in situ, real-time data acquisition into actionable decisions regarding structural performance, health state, maintenance, or life cycle assessment has been accelerated by the rapid growth of "big data" availability and advanced data science. Such data availability coupled with a wide variety of machine learning and data analytics techniques have led to rapid advancement of how SHM is executed, enabling increased transformation from research to practice.
