Introduction to Recursive Programming

Introduction to Recursive Programming

Recursion is one of the most fundamental concepts in computer science and a key programming technique that allows computations to be carried out repeatedly. Despite the importance of recursion for algorithm design most programming books do not cover the topic in detail despite the fact that numerous computer programming professors and researchers in the field of computer science education agree that recursion is difficult for novice students. Introduction to Recursive Programming provides a detailed and comprehensive introduction to recursion. This text will serve as a useful guide for anyone who wants to learn how to think and program recursively by analyzing a wide variety of computational problems of diverse difficulty. It contains specific chapters on the most common types of recursion (linear tail and multiple) as well as on algorithm design paradigms in which recursion is prevalent (divide and conquer and backtracking). Therefore it can be used in introductory programming courses and in more advanced classes on algorithm design. The book also covers lower-level topics related to iteration and program execution and includes a rich chapter on the theoretical analysis of the computational cost of recursive programs offering readers the possibility to learn some basic mathematics along the way. It also incorporates several elements aimed at helping students master the material. First it contains a larger collection of simple problems in order to provide a solid foundation of the core concepts before diving into more complex material. In addition one of the book's main assets is the use of a step-by-step methodology together with specially designed diagrams for guiding and illustrating the process of developing recursive algorithms. Furthermore the book covers combinatorial problems and mutual recursion. These topics can broaden students' understanding of recursion by forcing them to apply the learned concepts differently or in a more sophisticated manner. The code examples have been written in Python 3 but should be straightforward to understand for students with experience in other programming languages. Finally worked out solutions to over 120 end-of-chapter exercises are available for instructors.

Rethinking Faecal Sludge Management in Emergency Settings Decision Support Tools and Smart Technology Applications for Emergency Sanitation

Rethinking Faecal Sludge Management in Emergency Settings Decision Support Tools and Smart Technology Applications for Emergency Sanitation

The development of technology in the emergency sanitation sector has not been emphasised sufficiently considering that the management of human excreta is a basic requirement for every person. The lack of technology tailored to emergency situations complicates efforts to cater for sanitation needs in challenging humanitarian crisis. Concerns persists on the lack of faecal sludge management that considers the whole sanitation chain from containment until treatment. This study focused on the development of a smart emergency toilet termed the eSOS (emergency sanitation operation system) smart toilet to address the limitation in technical options. This toilet is based on the eSOS concept that takes into account the entire sanitation chain. This study also addresses the limited time for planning in emergencies by developing a decision support system (DSS) to help quick selection of optimal sanitation options. The aim was to enable users of the DSS to plan their emergency sanitation response within the shortest time possible. The study aims to contribute toward a better emergency sanitation response by application of technology advances. | Rethinking Faecal Sludge Management in Emergency Settings Decision Support Tools and Smart Technology Applications for Emergency Sanitation
