Red Army Auxiliary Armoured Vehicles, 1930–1945
During the 1930s in the Soviet Union a remarkable range of auxiliary armoured vehicles were produced for the Red Army which have rarely had the attention they deserve, and Alexey Tarasov’s photographic history is the ideal guide to them. These innovative designs demonstrate the diversity and innovation of the Soviet arms industry. Among them were armoured flails, ambulances, bridge-layers, flame-throwers and amphibious cars which prefigure similar designs made by western engineers during the Second World War. As this selection of rare photographs shows, Soviet designers were in many ways ahead of their time and it was short-sighted internal policy and the shortcomings of Soviet industry which led to the cancellation or postponement of many of these promising projects. As a result, when faced with Operation Barbarossa in 1941 the Red Army lacked the auxiliary armour that would have helped to stem the German advance. Alexey Tarasov’s in-depth research and the rare photographs he has assembled give a fascinating insight into a little-known aspect of the history of Soviet armoured vehicles.
Emerging Topics in Semantic Technologies
This book includes a selection of thoroughly refereed papers accepted at the Satellite Events of the 17th Internal Semantic Web Conference, ISWC 2018, held in Monterey, CA in October 2018. The key areas addressed by these events include the core Semantic Web technologies such as knowledge graphs and scalable knowledge base systems, ontology design and modelling, semantic deep learning and statistics. Furthermore, several novel applications of semantic technologies to the topics of Internet of Things (IoT), healthcare, social media and social good are discussed. Finally, important topics at the interface of the Semantic Web technologies and their human users are addressed, including visualization and interaction paradigms for Web Data as well as crowdsourcing applications.

Supercomputing
This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 5th Russian Supercomputing Days, RuSCDays 2019, held in Moscow, Russia, in September 2019. The 60 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 127 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: parallel algorithms; supercomputer simulation; HPC, BigData, AI: architectures, technologies, tools; and distributed and cloud computing.
Central and Eastern European Histories and Heritages in Video Games
This book explores the representations of Central and Eastern European histories in digital games. Focusing on games that examine a range of national histories and heritages from across Central and Eastern Europe, the volume looks beyond the diversity of the local histories depicted in games, and the audience reception of these histories, to show a diversity of approaches which can be used in examining historical games – from postcolonialism to identity politics to heritage studies. The book includes chapters on Serbia, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Hungary, Estonia, Slovakia, Czechia, Finland, and (a Western guest with regional connections) Luxembourg. Through the lens of video games, the authors address how nations struggle with the legacies of war, colonialism, and religious strife that have been a part of nation-building - but also how victimized cultures can survive, resist, and sometimes prevail. Appealing primarily to scholars in the fields of game studies, heritage studies, postcolonial criticism, and media studies, this book will be particularly useful for the subfields of historical game studies and postcolonial game studies.
Containing History
In the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, with U.S.-Russia relations approaching a breaking point, this book provides a key to understanding how we got here. Specifically, Stephen P. Friot asks, how do Russians and Americans think about each other, and why do they see the world so differently? The answers, Friot suggests, lie in the historical events surrounding the Cold War and their divergent influence on politics and popular consciousness. Cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural in its scope, Containing History employs the tools and insights of history, political science, and international relations to explain how twenty-first-century public attitudes in Russia are the...
Fundamental and Applied Scientific Research in the Development of Agriculture in the Far East (AFE-2022)
The book presents a collection of scientific research in the field of agriculture cyber-physical systems (ACPSs). The methods and tools for agricultural systems design, estimation and monitoring are proposed in this book. The book presents technical developments in the robotics and IoT sector, new solutions with drones, sensors and smart agriculture machines, solutions to digitize the farmer's life by delivering holistic management platforms and monitoring systems, as well as studies devoted to the field mapping. Research on creating a digital twin of the supply chain to predict the near-future state of the supply chain are also presented in this book. The book contains proceedings of the conference "Fundamental and Applied Scientific Research in the Development of Agriculture in the Far East" (AFE-2022, Tashkent, Uzbekistan). The book allows optimizing agricultural production, maximizes their yield and minimizes losses with efficient use of resources and decreases skilled labor.
Handbook of Research on Nanoelectronic Sensor Modeling and Applications
Nanoelectronics are a diverse set of materials and devices that are so small that quantum mechanics need to be applied to their function. The possibilities these devices present outweigh the difficulties associated with their development, as biosensors and similar devices have the potential to vastly improve our technological reach. The Handbook of Research on Nanoelectronic Sensor Modeling and Applications begins with an introduction of the fundamental concepts of nanoelectronic sensors, then proceeds to outline in great detail the concepts of nanoscale device modeling and nanoquantum fundamentals. Recent advances in the field such as graphene technology are discussed at length in this comprehensive handbook, ideal for electrical engineers, advanced engineering students, researchers, and academics.
