Axial Civilizations And World History
A collection of essays by social theorists, historical sociologists and area specialists in classical, biblical and Asian studies. The contributions deal with cultural transformations in major civilizational centres during the "Axial Age," the middle centuries of the last millennium BCE, and their long-term consequences.
Social Transformation – Digital Way
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 52nd Annual Convention of the Computer Society of India, CSI 2017, held in Kolkata, India, in January 2018. The 59 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 157 submissions. The theme of CSI 2017, Social Transformation – Digital Way, was selected to highlight the importance of technology for both central and state governments at their respective levels to achieve doorstep connectivity with its citizens. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: Signal processing, microwave and communication engineering; circuits and systems; data science and data analytics; bio computing; social computing; mobile, nano, quantum computing; data mining; security and forensics; digital image processing; and computational intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence in Society
The artificial intelligence (AI) landscape has evolved significantly from 1950 when Alan Turing first posed the question of whether machines can think. Today, AI is transforming societies and economies. It promises to generate productivity gains, improve well-being and help address global challenges, such as climate change, resource scarcity and health crises.
Biotechnological Approaches in Biocontrol of Plant Pathogens
Biological control offers a promising alternative to chemical control which can have adverse environmental implications. This volume contains 16 articles describing the most modern topics in biocontrol of plant pathogens, including risk analysis for the release of microbial antagonists, genetic engineering and application of tissue culture.
Genetic and Genomic Resources of Grain Legume Improvement
Grain legumes, including common-bean, chickpea, pigeonpea, pea, cowpea, lentil and others, form important constituents of global diets, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. Despite this significant role, global production has increased only marginally in the past 50 years. The slow production growth, along with a rising human population and improved buying capacity has substantially reduced the per capita availability of food legumes. Changes in environmental climate have also had significant impact on production, creating a need to identify stable donors among genetic resources for environmentally robust genes and designing crops resilient to climate change. Genetic and Genomic Resources of ...
Cerebral Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas
Cerebral Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas serves as an authoritative, comprehensive resource for these vascular lesions, describing their anatomy, diagnosis, natural history, and thorough treatment options. Rooted in well-illustrated anatomy and depictions of dAVFs, readers can better understand their pathophysiology, historical discovery, and avenues for treatment, including embolization, surgery, and radiosurgery. Imaging modalities are also discussed extensively as well as the management of these lesions. This reference is appropriate for neurosurgeons, neurologists, interventional radiologists and intensivists that manage these patients, providing clarity, and at the same time, comprehensiveness. - Describes the anatomy, diagnosis, and imaging modalities for dAVFs - Provides a thorough overview of treatment options and patient care - Features unprecedented focus on fistulas of this type and their pathophysiology - Broadly appeals to practicing physicians, surgeons, neurologists, radiologists, interventionalists, intensivists, residents, advanced medical students and anyone seeking a comprehensive text for these lesions
Intelligent Computing and Innovation on Data Science
This book covers both basic and high-level concepts relating to the intelligent computing paradigm and data sciences in the context of distributed computing, big data, data sciences, high-performance computing and Internet of Things. It is becoming increasingly important to develop adaptive, intelligent computing-centric, energy-aware, secure and privacy-aware systems in high-performance computing and IoT applications. In this context, the book serves as a useful guide for industry practitioners, and also offers beginners a comprehensive introduction to basic and advanced areas of intelligent computing. Further, it provides a platform for researchers, engineers, academics and industrial professionals around the globe to showcase their recent research concerning recent trends. Presenting novel ideas and stimulating interesting discussions, the book appeals to researchers and practitioners working in the field of information technology and computer science.
Made To Work
Made to Work analyses the conditions of mobile knowledge work (MKW) in contemporary worklives, contrasting and drawing parallels among three highly significant sectors of the Knowledge Economy: academia, information communication technology (ICT) management, and digital creative work. It introduces the concept of ‘corollary work’ to characterise the elusive work underpinning the configuration of workers, informational, technological, relational and infrastructural resources in (re)producing liveable worklives. It ultimately illuminates the myriad strands of corollary work that enable MKW to take place and contributes to emergent debates on how exploitation, at least in the domain of MKW, can be named, resisted and creatively subverted. In so doing, it opens up a conversation about the complex ways in which contemporary worklives are ‘made to work’, and about potential interventions to bring about more just worklife conditions in the future.
