"This set of books represents a detailed compendium of authoritative, research-based entries that define the contemporary state of knowledge on technology"--Provided by publisher.
Useful for undergraduate study, this book provides an account of the Turing Test, its history, context and implications, illustrated with practical tests.
The purpose of this book is to bring researchers and practitioners up-to-date on the growing body of research on Automatic Item Generation by organizing in one volume what is currently known about this research area.
This graduate textbook explains image reconstruction technologies based on region-based binocular and trinocular stereo vision, and object, pattern and relation matching. It further discusses principles and applications of multi-sensor fusion and content-based retrieval. Rich in examples and excises, the book concludes image engineering studies for electrical engineering and computer science students.
"Readers leery of ramping onto the information highway and surfers suffering Internet overload will value the solid advice supplied by Gilster." --Booklist. "Paul Gilster's intelligent, sobering look at the Internet is a breath of fresh air." --Amazon.com "This book sheds light on the skills that Web surfers need to separate the digital garbage from the golden nuggets of good data. It's a good place to start for adult newcomers to the information highway." --Courant Now in paper! Digital Literacy provides Internet novices with the basic thinking skills and core competencies they'll need to thrive in an interactive environment so fundamentally different from passive media. PAUL GILSTER (Raleigh, North Carolina) is the author of The Web Navigator and Finding It on the Internet which have sold over 200,000 copies.
The first volume of The Handbook of Humidity Measurement focuses on the review of devices based on optical principles of measurement such as optical UV, fluorescence hygrometers, optical and fiber-optic sensors of various types. Numerous methods for monitoring the atmosphere have been developed in recent years, based on measuring the absorption of electromagnetic field in different spectral ranges. These methods, covering the optical (FTIR and Lidar techniques), as well as a microwave and THz ranges are discussed in detail in this volume. The role of humidity-sensitive materials in optical and fiber-optic sensors is also detailed. This volume describes the reasons for controlling the humidity, features of water and water vapors, and units used for humidity measurement.
Hybrid Computational Intelligence: Challenges and Utilities is a comprehensive resource that begins with the basics and main components of computational intelligence. It brings together many different aspects of the current research on HCI technologies, such as neural networks, support vector machines, fuzzy logic and evolutionary computation, while also covering a wide range of applications and implementation issues, from pattern recognition and system modeling, to intelligent control problems and biomedical applications. The book also explores the most widely used applications of hybrid computation as well as the history of their development. Each individual methodology provides hybrid systems with complementary reasoning and searching methods which allow the use of domain knowledge and empirical data to solve complex problems. - Provides insights into the latest research trends in hybrid intelligent algorithms and architectures - Focuses on the application of hybrid intelligent techniques for pattern mining and recognition, in big data analytics, and in human-computer interaction - Features hybrid intelligent applications in biomedical engineering and healthcare informatics
This monograph presents recent advances in differential flatness theory and analyzes its use for nonlinear control and estimation. It shows how differential flatness theory can provide solutions to complicated control problems, such as those appearing in highly nonlinear multivariable systems and distributed-parameter systems. Furthermore, it shows that differential flatness theory makes it possible to perform filtering and state estimation for a wide class of nonlinear dynamical systems and provides several descriptive test cases. The book focuses on the design of nonlinear adaptive controllers and nonlinear filters, using exact linearization based on differential flatness theory. The adapt...
One of the fastest growing disciplines, Image Engineering is a broad subject encompassing computer science, electrical and electronic engineering, mathematics, physics, physiology, and psychology. This comprehensive book attempts to introduce the basic concepts, theories, methodologies, and techniques of image engineering. At the same time, it also furnishes a wide-ranging survey of up-to-date topics and state-of-the-art methods in image engineering.
Latin America has historically been a fertile ground where utopian projects, movements, and experiments could take root and thrive. Each of the thirteen authors in this collective volume address a particular case or specific aspect of Latin American utopianism from colonial times to the present day. The America that the Spanish and Portuguese discovered became, from the sixteenth century onwards, a space in which it was possible to imagine the widest variety of forms of human coexistence. Utopias in Latin America reconsiders the sense and understanding of utopias in various historical frames: the discovery of indigenous cultures and their natural environments; the foundation of new towns and cities in a vast colonial territory; the experimental communities of nineteenth-century utopian socialists and European exiled intellectuals; and the innovative formulae that attempts to get beyond twentieth-century capitalism.
