Conscious Notebook - Rakesh Biswas - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Conscious Notebook - Rakesh Biswas - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The present trend in computer ontology is toward the development of artificial intelligence and human ontology is an intervention to positively support it with natural human intelligence such that it is infused with the pluralism that characterises human social structures. This book utilises a meta-narrative that examines the life of an academically failed physician and his relatively academically successful daughter. The short individual narrative beads that are threaded into this larger narrative represent a multi-genre science and fantasy of medicine. On one hand it balances a post-modern stance with its incredulity toward absolute evidence based truth on the other a tolerant pluralism that simply recognises all approaches as credible as long as the resultant is geared toward positive outcomes (and not driven by fear of negative outcomes).The book portrays a non-linear narrative ontology interspersed in linear discourses on its relevance to human cognition and ontology.

Statistical & Soft Computing Approaches in Insurance Problems - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Statistical & Soft Computing Approaches in Insurance Problems - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book reviews the application of different statistical and Soft-Computing (SC) techniques in insurance-related problems. The book has been divided into 5 chapters, with the following structure: Chapter 1 provides a comprehensive review of SC techniques in insurance problems. A review of the application of these methods in insurance problems and a case study in a real problem completes this first chapter. Chapters 2 and 3 describe two different real applications of SC techniques in insurance. In this chapter, the authors describe the main concepts related to the algorithm and discuss different application of the algorithm in the insurance sector. Chapter 3 is devoted to a state-of-the-art technique in neural computation (Support Vector Machines, SVM). Chapter 4 presents a new mathematical tool based on modal intervals that allow us to process interval data (reflecting the fact that the data we are working with is not exact) and to interpret semantically the results obtained. Chapter 5 concentrates on two well-known risk measures: the Value at Risk and the Tail Value at Risk. The authors present a new analytical expression of the Tail Value at Risk using the Normal-Power approximation and they analyse its precision.

Land Use & Climate Change - Suresh C Rai - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Land Use & Climate Change - Suresh C Rai - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

During recent past, large scale conversions of forests to other land-uses in developed and developing countries in response to high population growth has been observed. As a consequence, this has disrupted the hydrological cycle and a great change in climate is envisaged. The land-use change from forest to the other usage has been quite conspicuous in the last few decades in the Indian Himalayan region. Land-use/cover change is emerging as a central issue within the community concerned with global environment. This concern is driven by the contributions that land-use/cover transformations make a wide variety of changes. The recent interest in land-use change has generated effort to understand the inter-relationship between land-use/cover and climate change. Most of the global environmental problems fall within the gambit of land-use/cover change and require a thorough understanding of its causes and consequences. Understanding of land-use/cover and climate change is important for the sustainable development and to evolve strategies for the mitigation of climate change at local, regional and global levels. This work is basically designed to familiarise the graduate, post-graduate and research students with the basic knowledge of land-use/cover and its impact on climate.

Land Use Changes - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Land Use Changes - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Land use is one of the most important aspects of the study of natural resources management and environmental change. Today, recognizing these changes is possible by comparing the differences between images taken in several specified periods in a specific region. The details of these changes are Nunderstandable by mapping the components of land resources into more than one period. Next, agricultural land use in Ukraine is explored. Providing general characteristics of processes in the Ukrainian agrarian sector witnessed over the past two decades, the authors estimate long-term trends and recent changes in agricultural land use and describe their drivers. A framework is provided which addresses sustainable land management through ecosystem services provided by healthy soils. This conceptual tool is designed to support policy makers in the management of five selected soil functions and demands: productivity, water availability, nutrients, carbon sequestration and biodiversity. In the closing study, the authors design a statistical model using atmospheric forcing to predict soil water storage for spring. The analysis of the efficiency of different models takes into account the adjusted squared correlation coefficient and cross-validation coefficient values.

TMR Research in Insulating Granular Magnetic Materials - Isao Sakamoto - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

TMR Research in Insulating Granular Magnetic Materials - Isao Sakamoto - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Artificially structured materials granular magnetic solids, as well as nano-sized multi-layer films are of great interest. The granules consist of nanometer sized metal particles embedded in an immiscible medium, in most cases an insulator. The nano-structured composites are known to exhibit peculiar magnetic properties, offering valuable applications in material science. A number of MLs or compositionally modulated magnetic films have been actively investigated for the purpose of developing new materials with superior characteristics or new functions such as a perpendicular magnetisation, soft magnetism, or spin-flopping at low field. This book presents and reviews research in the study of insulating granular magnetic materials.

Adverse Capsular Contracture - M G Berry - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Adverse Capsular Contracture - M G Berry - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Silicone prosthesis-based breast augmentation has shown year-on-year increases in popularity in both the USA and UK, but as surgical and implant technologies improve, adverse capsular contracture (ACC) has become a key determinant of outcome. ACC is the term given to the abnormal soft tissue reaction to a foreign body leading to constrictive fibrosis. Constrictive fibrosis refers to the poorly understood phenomenon by which the capsule that normally envelops an implant shrinks in size. The formation of a capsule around any foreign material entering the body is a normal response of the organism, which is not normally pathological in nature. This book discusses this adverse capsule and its role in breast augmentation.

Putting Privacy in Perspective - Michelle G Hough - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Putting Privacy in Perspective - Michelle G Hough - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book provides a unique evolutionary perspective on the privacy debate by examining how technological advances enabled, and subsequently are eroding, a societal expectation of privacy in contemporary American society. The book is organised around Westin''s four facets of privacy -- solitude, intimacy, anonymity, and reserve. In separate chapters, it examines the evolution of each facet from Colonial times through modern day. This work views privacy not as a sacred societal right guaranteed by the founding fathers, but as an accidental by-product of industrialisation, dependent upon particular environmental conditions for its survival. Because privacy is a societal issue, this book will appeal to a wide audience, including the general public. It will be of particular interest to computer professionals, legal scholars, libertarians, policy makers and any others who have an interest in the privacy debate. This book forces readers to examine privacy from a generalist perspective. The current privacy debate is fragmented -- computer professionals focus on the implications of particular innovations; libertarians debate the boundaries of privacy; business managers ponder the commercial and employment implications of privacy policy; and legal scholars discuss the viability and enforceability of current or proposed legislation. This book uniquely enables a broader perspective on privacy that facilitates a common understanding of the issue. PPP will be a cover-to-cover read, but not one that is subsequently placed on a shelf and never again referenced. PPP will be the "go to" book to enable debate and research on the evolution of privacy.

U.S Carbon Dioxide Emissions & Intensities - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Greenhouse gas emissions have increased markedly since the pre-industrial era and are increasing at such a rate that their concentration in the atmosphere is producing a warming influence on the global climate. In order to make well-informed decisions on ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it is important to understand how the different economic sectors contribute to the production of greenhouse gases, which sectors are relatively carbon dioxide (CO2) intensive, and how these patterns have evolved over time. This book analyses energy-related CO2 emissions and intensities for 349 industries, Government (Federal, state and local), and Households. The 349 industries cover the entire economy, providing information on detailed sub-sectors within the aggregate sectors of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Mining, Construction, Manufacturing, Transportation Services, and all other services.
