Biochemistry of Cardiovascular Dysfunction in Obesity
Obesity is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in adults as well as in obese children. This book will provide a description of the impact of obesity on the cardiovascular system and increased predisposition to CVD. It will identify the major biochemical mechanisms that lead to the occurrence of myocardial abnormalities and vascular alterations in obesity. We will also have some discussion on the biochemistry of the so-called obesity paradox in relation to CVD. The contributors to this book are international experts on obesity and associated cardiovascular complications. This book is also uniquely positioned as it focuses on the biochemistry of obesity-induced cardiova...
Model Driven Engineering and Ontology Development
Defining a formal domain ontology is considered a useful, not to say necessary step in almost every software project. This is because software deals with ideas rather than with self-evident physical artefacts. However, this development step is hardly ever done, as ontologies rely on well-defined and semantically powerful AI concepts such as description logics or rule-based systems, and most software engineers are unfamiliar with these. This book fills this gap by covering the subject of MDA application for ontology development on the Semantic Web. The writing is technical yet clear, and is illustrated with examples. The book is supported by a website.
Coupable de résistance ?
En juillet 1995, les forces serbes massacrèrent plus de huit mille hommes de l’enclave de Srebrenica sans que les Nations Unies réagissent. Ce massacre est désormais connu. Ce que l’on sait moins, c’est que Naser Oric, symbole de la résistance de Srebrenica, a été poursuivi devant le Tribunal international pour l’ex-Yougoslavie. Après trois années passées dans les prisons de La Haye, il fut – heureusement – acquitté. Rafaëlle Maison décrit le procès de La Haye comme un événement stupéfiant et tragique où la thèse du « seigneur de guerre », avancée par les représentants du procureur international Carla del Ponte et fondée sur les récits mensongers des assaillants serbes, va rapidement s’effondrer. Surtout, les témoins qui se succèdent permettent de comprendre ce que fut le combat des résistants, élus par leurs communautés et accompagnés d’une population réduite à la famine par l’encerclement serbe. Donnant d’abord à entendre leur parole, le livre espère rendre un hommage à ces combattants.
OpenCL in Action
Summary OpenCL in Action is a thorough, hands-on presentation of OpenCL, with an eye toward showing developers how to build high-performance applications of their own. It begins by presenting the core concepts behind OpenCL, including vector computing, parallel programming, and multi-threaded operations, and then guides you step-by-step from simple data structures to complex functions. About the Technology Whatever system you have, it probably has more raw processing power than you're using. OpenCL is a high-performance programming language that maximizes computational power by executing on CPUs, graphics processors, and other number-crunching devices. It's perfect for speed-sensitive tasks ...
