This book constitutes the joint refereed proceedings of the 13 International Conference on Next Generation Teletraffic and Wired/Wireless Advanced Networking, NEW2AN, and the 6th Conference on Internet of Things and Smart Spaces, ruSMART 2013, held in St. Petersburg, Russia, in August 2013. The total of 38 papers was carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in this book. The 14 papers selected from ruSMART are organized in topical sections named: internet on things, smart spaces technologies; and smart systems. The 24 papers from NEW2AN deal with the following topics: performance and efficiency analysis, network and transport layer issues; cognitive radio networks; sensor and mesh networks; upper layer protocols and applications; ad-hoc, cellular and satellite networks.
Papers presented at the Nirma International Conference on Management, held at Ahmedabad in January 2009.
This edited volume is a compendium of research papers on the theme "Innovation in Management Challenges and Opportunities in the Next Decade". There were twenty seven papers contributed by academicians and researches and eleven papers contributed by amateur authors. The keynote on the theme given by Dr. T. Alex, Chairman, ISRO throws light on innovation in space technology which is ushering in lot of advancements towards well-being of the society.
This book offers an on-the-ground view of colonial Calcutta's neighbourhoods, where kinship-like ties shaped urban space and resisted city-making efforts of the state.
History of the Andaman Islands - Unsung Heroes and Untold Stories' is different and unique unearthing many riddles and facts of Indian and Andaman history. The book is an outcome of the decades-long research on the soil of the Andamans by an Andaman born ethno-historian. Andaman History is neither only of pirates and aborigines, nor about the land of fishes, corals and beaches alone. It is larger, longer, more various, more beautiful and more terrible than anything anyone has ever said about it. The diverse historical events have left their mark as a reminder of some good and some bad times, of tragedy and hope, of atrocity and courage in the face of it, of great acts of sacrifice and braver...
Over the past several years, cooperative control and optimization has un questionably been established as one of the most important areas of research in the military sciences. Even so, cooperative control and optimization tran scends the military in its scope -having become quite relevant to a broad class of systems with many exciting, commercial, applications. One reason for all the excitement is that research has been so incredibly diverse -spanning many scientific and engineering disciplines. This latest volume in the Cooperative Systems book series clearly illustrates this trend towards diversity and creative thought. And no wonder, cooperative systems are among the hardest systems contr...
This is the final volume of a series devoted to photorefractive effects, photorefractive materials and their applications. Since publication of the first two volumes almost 20 years ago, new and often unexpected effects have been discovered. Theoretical models have been developed, known effects can be finally explained and novel applications have been proposed. For this volume, the editors have invited top experts to reflect on the maturity of the field, assessing progress so far, and predicting avenues of future development. In addition, a series of applications of photorefractive nonlinear optics and of optical data storage are presented in several chapters.
The challenge of creating a real-life computational equivalent of the human mind requires that we better understand at a computational level how natural intelligent systems develop their cognitive and learning functions. In recent years, biologically inspired cognitive architectures have emerged as a powerful new approach toward gaining this kind of understanding (here “biologically inspired” is understood broadly as “brain-mind inspired”). Still, despite impressive successes and growing interest in BICA, wide gaps separate different approaches from each other and from solutions found in biology. Modern scientific societies pursue related yet separate goals, while the mission of the ...
Many real-life systems are dynamic, evolving, and intertwined. Examples of such systems displaying 'complexity', can be found in a wide variety of contexts ranging from economics to biology, to the environmental and physical sciences. The study of complex systems involves analysis and interpretation of vast quantities of data, which necessitates the application of many classical and modern tools and techniques from statistics, network science, machine learning, and agent-based modelling. Drawing from the latest research, this self-contained and pedagogical text describes some of the most important and widely used methods, emphasising both empirical and theoretical approaches. More broadly, this book provides an accessible guide to a data-driven toolkit for scientists, engineers, and social scientists who require effective analysis of large quantities of data, whether that be related to social networks, financial markets, economies or other types of complex systems.
Diabetes mellitus is probably one of the oldest diseases known to mankind. This book covers not only the action, pathogenesis, epidemiology, prevention, and treatment of disease but also encompasses the same regarding all its complications such as diabetic neuropathy, diabetic foot, diabetic kidney disease, stroke, hypertensive emergencies, gestational diabetes mellitus, maternal and foetal morbidity associated with gestational diabetes mellitus, intrapartum management and postpartum follow up. The writer provides authoritative, comprehensive, concept-oriented, clinically-applicable text concisely for easy understanding and assimilation by readers.
