This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Integration of AI and OR Techniques in Constraint Programming for Combinatorial Optimization Problems, CPAIOR 2007, held in Brussels, Belgium in May 2007. It covers methodological and foundational issues from AI, OR, and algorithmics as well as applications to the solution of combinatorial optimization problems in various fields via constraint programming.
Every industry has faced the tidal wave of 'digital' that has either re-shaped or dramatically altered their modus operandi. Supporting technologies in the management information systems arena have given rise to increased end to end visibility, real time access to information, and tightly controlled monitoring of deployed assets. In many industries it is straightforward to see the impact that digital technologies have had. Finance is a great example, with cash payments becoming increasingly less and less common, and digital currencies increasing in prominence. Yet how has this impacted supply chain management? In a discipline that spans multiple industries, continents, and companies, are the...
This book discusses the biological, technical and study-design challenges of Nanopharmaceuticals. Chapters of this book are dedicated to supermagentic iron oxide nanoparticles for the diagnosis of brain, breast, gastric, ovarian, liver, colorectal, lung and pancreatic cancers. It also includes a brief introduction to magnetic resonance imaging and ends with the future prospective of iron oxide nanoparticles in cancer detection. The book also provides a critical discussion on ‘Computational sequence design for DNA nanostructures’ and gives a brief introduction about the skin delivery. A detailed discussion has been included about the different types of nanocarriers such as micells, microemulsions, nanoemulsions, polymeric and lipid based nanoparticles. Focussing on the safety concerns of nanomedicine it also covers the safety issues, clinical benefits, ecotoxicity and regulatory frame work of nanopharmaceuticals.
This book addresses the security challenges facing the rapidly growing Internet of Things (IoT) industry, including the potential threats and risks arising from its complex architecture. The authors discuss the overall IoT architecture, covering networking, computing, and security threats and risks to hardware such as sensors, actuators, and portable devices, as well as infrastructure layers. They cover a range of technical concepts such as cryptography, distributed storage, and data transmission, and offer practical advice on implementing security solutions such as authentication and access control. By exploring the future of cybersecurity in the IoT industry, with insights into the importance of big data and the threats posed by data mining techniques, this book is an essential resource for anyone interested in, or working in, the rapidly evolving field of IoT security.
Developing and maintaining a disciplined management system provides any organization with a blueprint for exceptional performance and success. Indeed, for larger multinational corporations, a management system is a critical component for sustainable growth and performance management. In this book, the authors discuss a series of fundamentals for creating an operationally excellent management system (OEMS). The book also examines the business performance impact of an OEMS across leading gas and oil organizations, such as Exxon Mobil, BP, Suncor, and Chevron. In 7 Fundamentals of an Operationally Excellent Management System, the authors discuss each fundamental in detail and provide the suppor...
1711 Prut Seferi hakkında bir yeniçerinin tuttuğu bu günlük sayesinde belki de dönemin tarihçilerinin yazdığından fazlasını bilme imkânına sahibiz. Yeniçeri Kâtibi Hasan, elli beş yıllık bir yeniçeri olarak son seferine çıkarken sadece işi gereği değil, tarihe kişisel bir tanıklık bırakmak için de kâğıda kaleme sarılmıştı. Savaşın ilanından başlayıp dönemin etraflı bir uluslararası siyasal değerlendirmesini de yaparak seferi pek çok ayrıntısıyla kayda geçirmişti: Sefer yürüyüşü, muharebe alanına varış, konaklama, muharebeler, serdengeçtilerin akınları, firari askerler, düşman kovalamalar ve barışın imzalanması... Savaş son...
This book is a collection of invited papers and articles, many presented at the 2008 International Conference on Ring and Module Theory. The papers explore the latest in various areas of algebra, including ring theory, module theory and commutative algebra.
In a continuously changing world, there has been a growing interest in the protection of vernacular heritage and earthen architecture. The need to protect and enhance this fragile heritage via intelligent responses to threats from nature and the environment has become evident.Historically, vernacular heritage research focussed on philosophical aspe
Thanks to this diary written by a janissary clerk about 1711 Pruth Campaign, it is a probability that we have the opportunity to know better than the historian of the period. While setting off the final campaign as a janissary who served for 55 years, the Janissary Clerk Hasan embraced the paper and quill to create a witness for the history, not only as a part of his job. He recorded the campaign starting from the announcement of the war and to the thorough political evaluation of the period in an international scale: The campaign march, arrival at the battle zone, accommodation, battles, influx of serdengeçtis, desertion of soldiers, chasing off the enemy and signing a peace treaty… Havi...
