Free Download Ricardo C. Mello, "Implementing Cloud Robotics for Practical Applications: From Human-Robot Interaction to Autonomous Navigation "
English | ISBN: 3031169077 | 2023 | 116 pages | EPUB | 13 MB
This book explores cloud robotics by casting a light on key issues and proposing a novel approach towards implementation and practical aspects to allow for the widespread adoption of cloud-based functionality. The advent of cloud robotics can to unleash a new generation of smart robotic devices by allowing robots to explore cloud computing capabilities to share data and to offload heavy processing applications. Cloud robotics is investigated as an enabler to a series of applications and devices, questioning how the insertion of network and cloud technologies into such systems might affect the interaction between a robot and the human operating it, and what are the limiting requirements for cloud-based solutions. Aiming at researchers and practitioners, this book also presents a methodology based on open-source software and commercial off-the-shelf devices to provide a common standard for reproducing and benchmarking different cloud robotics systems.

Free Download Nabanita Mukherjee, "Impact of Climate Change in the Indian Sundarbans Region"
English | ISBN: 3031542371 | 2024 | 102 pages | EPUB | 13 MB
This book studies climate change vulnerability in the Southern Part of the Indian Sundarbans Region, West Bengal, following the IPCC framework which highlights three prime components of vulnerability - exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity. This framework is considered as one of the best methods of vulnerability assessment as it uses direct household perception through collection of primary data, and recognizes a household's proficiency in maintaining sustainable means of livelihood to deal with climatic changes. This is especially important in gauging the knowledge and perception of local indigenous people on climate change, and determining what measures can be taken to foster informed decision making for improved climate change adaptation and management. The specific impact of climate change on women, their lives and livelihood are also given due attention, as there is little written about gendered vulnerability to climate change in the region. The final chapter elaborates the limits, barriers to adaptation of climate change and also extends site specific suggestions for achieving community resilience in the Indian Sundarbans Region.

Free Download Immunohistochemistry and Ancillary Studies in Diagnostic Dermatopathology
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1009549227 | 441 Pages | PDF | 68 MB
Immunohistochemistry and ancillary studies play a crucial role in diagnostic pathology. Yet, few books cover their practicality in diagnostic dermatopathology. This book provides a practical guide to the application of rapid and cost-effective immunohistochemistry, as well as ancillary studies including immunofluorescence and molecular studies. With a focus on practicality and bridging knowledge gaps, the book covers helpful diagnostic stains and pertinent ancillary studies, organized by lines of differentiation. Each chapter includes a synopsis of antibodies, immunohistochemical panels, summary tables outlining staining patterns, and case studies. Now in its second edition, this book covers entities based on lineage, including epithelial, adnexal, melanocytic, lymphoid, and soft tissue, and discusses the role of molecular studies in the diagnosis of cutaneous neoplasms and soft tissue lesions. This comprehensive volume is an essential resource for pathologists, dermatopathologists, and residents in pathology and dermatology.

Free Download Imagining Malaya: Peranakan Cosmopolitanism, Nationalism, and Belonging at the End of Empire, 1945-1957
by Bernard Z. Keo
English | 2025 | ISBN: 0198917082 | 248 Pages | PDF | 29 MB
The end of Britain's empire in Southeast Asia in the wake of World War II generated new opportunities for colonial subjects across the region to reimagine themselves as citizens of a dizzying array of potential new nations. While post-war optimism and a global push for decolonisation created an environment where myriad communities felt a palpable sense of possibility for bringing their aspirations of nationhood to life, many of these desires were unfulfilled. Imagining Malaya is an exploration of one of those many imagined nations that never came to be. It narrates a series of seemingly disparate and contradictory political acts by the Peranakan Chinese - a creolised community borne of intermarriage between the earliest Chinese migrants to the region and indigenous Malays - in the post-World War II period to demonstrate that the community were, in fact, seeking to bring to life a cosmopolitan, inclusive, and multi-ethnic imagination of the Malay(si)an nation.

Free Download Theresa Tinkle, "Imagining Jesus Christ in Middle English Literature, 1275-1475: Royal Traitor, Heroic Lamb "
English | ISBN: 3031650751 | 2024 | 268 pages | EPUB | 12 MB
This book interprets Jesus Christ as a complicated, disunified literary character in Middle English literature, where he appears variously as king, traitor, victorious conqueror, sacrificial lamb, heroic knight, lover, and spouse-often as several contradictory figures in a single work. These tropes derive from Scripture, doctrines about Christ's two natures, and theories of redemption. This book examines the full range of representations in Southern Passion, Northern Passion, Pepysian Gospel Harmony, Stanzaic Life of Christ, Cursor Mundi, Nicholas Love's Mirror of the Blessed Life of Jesus Christ, Sir John Mandeville's Book, the York Play, and Julian of Norwich's Revelation of Love. Although Christ's two natures are well represented in existing scholarship, many traditions have been overlooked, including commonplace treatments of Christ as both a traitor and king, conqueror and sacrificial lamb, hero and lover. As writers call upon audiences to feel compassion for Jesus's suffering, they almost universally express antipathy toward his Jewish torturers, complicating our ideas about affective piety. In these works, the Virgin Mary is less exemplary for her compassion than for her understanding of doctrine. In short, this book offers new perspectives on vernacular Christology between about 1275 and 1475.
