Image Analysis
This book constitutes the refeered proceedings of the 13th Scandinavian Conference on Image Analysis, SCIA 2003, held in Halmstad, Sweden in June/July 2003. The 148 revised full papers presented together with 6 invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected for presentation. The papers are organized in topical sections on feature extraction, depth and surface, shape analysis, coding and representation, motion analysis, medical image processing, color analysis, texture analysis, indexing and categorization, and segmentation and spatial grouping.
Photon Counting Computed Tomography
This book will provide readers with a good overview of some of most recent advances in the field of Photon Counting CT technology for X-ray medical imaging, especially as it pertains to new detectors. There will be a good mixture of general chapters in both technology and applications in CT medical imaging. The book will have an in-depth review of the research topics from world-leading specialists in the field. The conversion of the X-ray signal into analogue/digital value will be covered in some chapters. The authors also provide a review of CMOS chips for X-ray image sensors, methods of material discrimination and image reconstruction techniques. Covers a broad range of topics, including an introduction to novel spectral Computed Tomography; Includes in-depth analysis on how to optimize X-ray detection; Discusses analysis of electronics for X-ray detection.
Image Analysis

The 74 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 140 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on multiple view geometry; segmentation; image analysis; categorization and classification; structure from motion and SLAM; medical and biomedical applications; 3D shape; medical imaging.
Organic Struggle
'Organic Struggle' analyzes the evolution of the sustainable agriculture movement in the United States and evaluates its achievements and shortcomings. It traces the development of organic farming from its roots in the 1940s through its embrace by the 1960s counterculture to its mainstreamacceptance and development into a multi-billion dollar industry.
Consumer Perceptions, Understanding and Use of Product Related Environmental Information
Product-related environmental information is an important policy instrument for a shift towards more sustainable consumption patterns, and such information helps consumers choose environmentally improved products. While ecolabeling has had a particularly strong breakthrough in Nordic markets, a number of other communication modes, such as environmental product declarations and producers' self-declared claims have been applied in both the consumer and business-to-business markets. This report comprises a summary of recent research on how Nordic consumers perceive, understand, and use product-related environmental information. A comprehensive literature review supplemented with expert interviews forms the foundation for this work. The report highlights well-researched areas and proposes areas where deeper knowledge and understanding is required. The research was conducted cooperatively between the International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics (IIIEE) at Lund University in Sweden; the National Consumer Research Centre in Finland; and Environice in Iceland with the purpose to obtain and present a comprehensive picture of the situation in the Nordic countries.
Ground Truths
A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. This is the first book devoted entirely to summarizing the body of community-engaged research on environmental justice, how we can conduct more of it, and how we can do it better. It shows how community-engaged research makes unique contributions to environmental justice for Black, Indigenous, people of color, and low-income communities by centering local knowledge, building truth from the ground up, producing actionable data that can influence decisions, and transforming researchers’ relationships to communities for equi...
Three-Dimensional Image Reconstruction in Radiology and Nuclear Medicine
This book contains a selection of communications presented at the Third International Meeting on Fully Three-Dimensional Image Reconstruction in Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, held 4-6 July 1995 at Domaine d' Aix-Marlioz, Aix-Ies-Bains, France. This nice resort provided an inspiring environment to hold discussions and presentations on new and developing issues. Roentgen discovered X-ray radiation in 1895 and Becquerel found natural radioactivity in 1896 : a hundred years later, this conference was focused on the applications of such radiations to explore the human body. If the physics is now fully understood, 3D imaging techniques based on ionising radiations are still progressing. These te...
Maestro
Nachdem die Haut des Dirigenten Antoine Malå ordentlich zusammengefaltet im Ohrensessel der Künstlergarderobe der Berwaldhallen gefunden wird, wird die bereits pensionierte und etwas verbitterte ehemalige Direktorin der Riksmordkommissionen, Kerstin Armfelt, mit der Leitung der Untersuchung beauftragt. Das Justizministerium stellt ihr David Westerdahl, Komponist und ehemaliger Intendant verschiedener kultureller Institutionen, zur Seite. Er ist ein Wichtigtuer und nicht bekennender Alkoholiker – zwei Züge, die Kerstin Armfelt zutiefst verabscheut. Bald findet sich das unpassende Duo in einer Welt aus Verrat, politischer Verschwörungen, musikalischem Mystizismus und brutaler Gewalt wieder. Die Verfolgung der Spuren führt sie durch Schweden, nach London und nach Russland. Rache ist der rote und blutige Faden, der durch diesen Roman führt. Aber auch die Geheimnisse der Musik und die Frage, welche Kräfte dieser Kunstform zur Verfügung stehen.
Play-Responsive Teaching in Early Childhood Education
This open access book develops a theoretical concept of teaching that is relevant to early childhood education, and based on children’s learning and development through play. It discusses theoretical premises and research on playing and learning, and proposes the development of play-responsive didaktik. It examines the processes and products of learning and development, teaching and its phylogenetic and ontogenetic development, as well as the ‘what’ of learning and didaktik. Next, it explores the actions, objects and meaning of play and provides insight into the diversity of beliefs about the practices of play. The book presents ideas on how combined research and development projects can be carried out, providing incentive and a model for practice development and research. The second part of the book consists of empirical studies on teacher’s playing skills and examples of play with very young as well as older children.
Postpartum infections; prevalence, associated obstetric factors and the role of vitamin D
Background: Postpartum infections are a major cause of maternal mortality and morbidity worldwide. Breast infection, endometritis, urinary tract infection and wound infections are the most common postpartum infections and together they affect almost 20% of women after childbirth. Some risk factors for postpartum infections, for example cesarean section, have been relatively well studied, but other presumable risk factors are yet to be confirmed. The proportion of pregnant women who are overweight or obese is increasing in most parts of the world. Increased maternal body mass index (BMI) is associated with maternal and infant morbidity. The association between overweight / obesity and postpar...
