Artificial Intelligence: The Basics
'if AI is outside your field, or you know something of the subject and would like to know more then Artificial Intelligence: The Basics is a brilliant primer.' - Nick Smith, Engineering and Technology Magazine November 2011 Artificial Intelligence: The Basics is a concise and cutting-edge introduction to the fast moving world of AI. The author Kevin Warwick, a pioneer in the field, examines issues of what it means to be man or machine and looks at advances in robotics which have blurred the boundaries. Topics covered include: how intelligence can be defined whether machines can 'think' sensory input in machine systems the nature of consciousness the controversial culturing of human neurons. Exploring issues at the heart of the subject, this book is suitable for anyone interested in AI, and provides an illuminating and accessible introduction to this fascinating subject.
Road Tunnels
This book illustrates a new quantitative risk analysis model for road tunnels that is capable of evaluating the role of infrastructure measures, equipment and management procedures as prescribed by EU Directive 2004/54/EC. The risk assessment draws on the typical F-N curves of societal risk, evaluated with the help of event tree analysis, vehicle queue formation dynamics, and users’ egress and tenability models. In addition, the model considers the reliability of the safety measures. The work provides essential guidance on the following aspects: how a quantitative model can be implemented to evaluate risk in road tunnels; how to build an event tree for the accident scenarios considered; how to simulate the vehicle queue formation; how to simulate the evolution of accident scenarios; and how to simulate the users’ egress. Given its scope and depth of coverage, the book will be of interest to all engineers whose work involves fire protection and safety in tunnels, all persons engaged in safety and transport engineering or risk analysis for road tunnels, as well as public and private bodies involved in the application of Directive 2004/54/EC.
Open Source GIS: A GRASS GIS Approach
Since the first edition of Open Source GIS: A GRASS GIS Approach was published in 2002, GRASS has undergone major improvements. This second edition includes numerous updates related to the new development; its text is based on the GRASS 5.3 version from December 2003. Besides changes related to GRASS 5.3 enhancements, the introductory chapters have been re-organized, providing more extensive information on import of external data. Most of the improvements in technical accuracy and clarity were based on valuable feedback from readers. Open Source GIS: A GRASS GIS Approach, Second Edition, provides updated information about the use of GRASS, including geospatial modeling with raster, vector, and site data, image processing, visualization, and coupling with other open source tools for geostatistical analysis and web applications. A brief introduction to programming within GRASS encourages new development. The sample data set used throughout the book has been updated and is available on the GRASS web site. This book also includes links to sites where the GRASS software and on-line reference manuals can be downloaded and additional applications can be viewed.
Manuale di ingegneria Biomedicale - II Edizione
Un ospedale moderno si presenta oggi come un contenitore di alta tecnologia la cui razionalizzazione e mantenimento in sicurezza sono esigenze reali e pressanti. A fronte di una distribuzione sempre più vasta ed ormai irrinunciabile di tecnologie biomedicali all'avanguardia, la struttura sanitaria deve essere in grado di scegliere quelle più appropriate, utilizzare correttamente la strumentazione e garantire la sicurezza dei pazienti e degli operatori, assicurando la qualità del servizio e ottimizzando i costi di acquisto e di gestione. Le apparecchiature elettromedicali rappresentano soltanto uno degli elementi rilevanti di rischio all'interno delle strutture sanitarie per malfunzionamen...
Sicilian Avengers
A thrilling Sicilian saga about the legendary secret sect purported to be forerunners of the Mafia, translated into English for the first time. Emerging from the dark streets and subterranean caves of Palermo, the Beati Paoli, masked and hooded, mete out their own form of justice to counter the unfettered power and privilege wielded by the aristocracy. For the voiceless, weak, and oppressed, the Beati Paoli are defenders and heroes. Reminiscent of a Dumas novel, Sicilian Avengers is a vibrant, atmospheric fresco of early eighteenth-century Palermo. Onto the stage of the ancient city, Blasco da Castiglione, a bold, brash, orphan adventurer, arrives on a quest to discover his origins and seek ...
Manuale dei sistemi di gas medicali e del vuoto
Questo manuale è un testo teorico-pratico che dettaglia tutti gli aspetti legati alle problematiche dei gas medicali. Lo scopo è quello di fornire i requisiti minimi per la loro installazione, ispezione, test, manutenzione, esecuzione, oltre alle relative pratiche di messa in sicurezza per le strutture sanitarie, il materiale, le apparecchiature, le applicazioni, inclusa tutta una serie di rischi associati a quelli primari. Concepito come una guida organica, il manuale vuole risolvere tutte le problematiche inerenti ai gas medicali, fornendo ai progettisti e a tutti quelli coinvolti con gli impianti di gas medicali uno strumento che per la sua natura interdisciplinare consente di affrontare in modo completo tutti gli aspetti che possono presentarsi sia nella progettazione che nella realizzazione e gestione di tali impianti. Questo manuale risulta essere complementare al precedente libro dello stesso autore “Impianti gas medicali nelle strutture sanitarie. Nozioni fondamentali ed esempi progettuali” (II edizione, 2020), che tratta più specificamente degli aspetti progettuali e dei relativi calcoli da sviluppare.
I Am
I Am: Remix Your Web Identity explores methods of designing and developing a personal website with RSS feeds that aggregate blog posts along with posts on social networks, such as Flickr, YouTube, Goodreads, Last.fm, and Delicious, in order to regain control and ownership (as well as authorship) of one’s identity in one consistent and customized location. The book provides a short overview of the evolution of digital identity and the transformation of personal websites from Geocities to blogs, and discusses the relevance of RSS as a technology that frees content from publishing source constraints. It also underlines the importance of open source in providing power and control over one’s ...
