Lossy Image Compression
Image compression is concerned with minimization of the number of information carrying units used to represent an image. Lossy compression techniques incur some loss of information which is usually imperceptible. In return for accepting this distortion, we obtain much higher compression ratios than is possible with lossless compression. Salient features of this book include: four new image compression algorithms and implementation of these algorithms; detailed discussion of fuzzy geometry measures and their application in image compression algorithms; new domain decomposition based algorithms using image quality measures and study of various quality measures for gray scale image compression; compression algorithms for different parallel architectures and evaluation of time complexity for encoding on all architectures; parallel implementation of image compression algorithms on a cluster in Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) environment.
Malignant
This well-written, opinionated, and engaging book explains what we can do differently to make serious and sustained progress against cancer—and how we can avoid repeating the policy and practice mistakes of the past.
Analytical Profiles of Drug Substances and Excipients
Although the official compendia define a drug substance as to identity, purity, strength, and quality, they normally do not provide other physical or chemical data, nor do they list methods of synthesis or pathways of physical or biological degradation and metabolism. Such information is scattered throughout the scientific literature and the files of pharmaceutical laboratories. Analytical Profiles of Drug Substances brings this information together into one source.
Biometric Security and Privacy
This book highlights recent research advances on biometrics using new methods such as deep learning, nonlinear graph embedding, fuzzy approaches, and ensemble learning. Included are special biometric technologies related to privacy and security issues, such as cancellable biometrics and soft biometrics. The book also focuses on several emerging topics such as big data issues, internet of things, medical biometrics, healthcare, and robot-human interactions. The authors show how these new applications have triggered a number of new biometric approaches. They show, as an example, how fuzzy extractor has become a useful tool for key generation in biometric banking, and vein/heart rates from medical records can also be used to identify patients. The contributors cover the topics, their methods, and their applications in depth.

The Art of Teaching
As a Teacher, have you ever felt like this? * At times, it gets so boring teaching the same stuff over and over! *When homework papers come in, I sometimes wish I hadn't assigned them. * I feel so washed out by the end of most days - the job pressure is killing me! * I need to figure out ways to turn my lack-lustre class environment into an exciting and vibrant one. * Student behaviour is turning out to be a nagging problem. * If only I could get some co-operation from the parents! The Art of Teaching: A Survival Guide for Today's Teacher, offers you workable solutions to these and many other classroom situations you come across daily. The book deals directly with problems that teachers iden...

Data Engineering and Management
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Second International Conference on Data Engineering and Management, ICDEM 2010, held in Tiruchirappalli, India, in July 2010. The 46 revised full papers presented together with 1 keynote paper and 2 tutorial papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on Digital Library; Knowledge and Mulsemedia; Data Management and Knowledge Extraction; Natural Language Processing; Workshop on Data Mining with Graphs and Matrices.
Tumor Response Monitoring and Treatment Planning
Medical imaging progressed to a standard undreamt of not very many years ago. The advances are due to continuous development of radiological techniques and the introduction of magnetic resonance imaging. With the improved and new methods three-dimensional target volumes for radiation therapy can be defined with hitherto unknown precision. This leads to an improvement in irradiation techniques and, as a consequence, to a higher likelihood of tumor control and a lower risk of normal tissue complications. Besides the improvement in irradiation techniques the new imaging methods may enable great strides in tumor response monitoring, not only in the detection of morphological alterations but also by showing physiological changes in the tumor during and after treatment by means of MRI and PET. This not only leads to better prognostic information but may also allow early evaluation of the response to treatment. It may then be possible to individualize the radiation dose but also the alternative-treatment for non-responders. This is certainly a future direction for radiation oncology.
