This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Pattern Recognition and Machine Intelligence, PReMI 2011, held in Moscow, Russia in June/July 2011. The 65 revised papers presented together with 5 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 140 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on pattern recognition and machine learning; image analysis; image and video information retrieval; natural language processing and text and data mining; watermarking, steganography and biometrics; soft computing and applications; clustering and network analysis; bio and chemo analysis; and document image processing.
Advances in Nanotechnology-Based Drug Delivery Systems covers the core concepts and latest research regarding the use of nanoscale materials for the development and application of drug delivery systems. The book introduces the reader to nanotechnology in drug delivery, covering the synthesis, encapsulation techniques, characterization and key properties of nanoscale drug delivery systems. Later chapters review the broad range of target applications, including site-specific delivery of drugs for cardiovascular disease, cancer, bacterial infection, bone regeneration. and much more. This book helps translate advanced research into a clinical setting, analyzing the toxicity and health and safety...
Creativity is a highly-prized quality in any modern endeavor, whether artistic, scientific or professional. Though a much-studied subject, and the topic of a great many case-studies, the field of creativity research is still very much an open one. Creativity remains a field where absolute definitions hold very little water, and where true insight can only emerge when we properly appreciate - from a nuanced, multi-disciplinary perspective - the crucial distinction between the producer's perspective and the consumer's perspective. Theories that afford us a critical appreciation of a creative work do not similarly afford a explanatory insight into the origins and development of the work. As res...
Deze bundel gaat over de vorming van identiteit door het samenspel van etniciteit, nationalisme en de effecten van globalisering. De essays in Crossroad Civilisations: Ethnicity, Nationalism and Globalism in Asia maken de gelaagdheid en de complexiteit hiervan duidelijk.
This volume presents research papers on unconventional machining (also known as non-traditional machining and advanced manufacturing) and composites which were presented during the 7th International and 28th All India Manufacturing Technology, Design and Research conference 2018 (AIMTDR 2018). The volume discusses improvements on well-established unconventional machining processes and novel or hybrid machining processes as well as properties, fabrication techniques and machining of composite materials. This volume will be of interest to academicians, researchers, and practicing engineers alike.
Citing a break in the statistical association between the broader money aggregates and reserve money in the post-reforms period of the 1990s vis-a-vis the 1980s, this paper argues that an endogenous money multiplier framework is best suited for analyzing the money supply process in India and questions the simplifying assumptions tending to justify stability and predictability of the money multiplier especially in the context of a deregulated financial system with market determined interest rates. An empirical analysis conducted using monthly data for the period April 1980 through March 2000 establishes this and traces the source of the endogeneity of these multipliers to a range of macroeconomic variables.
