This book on the climate change, natural resources, landscape and agricultural ecosystems describes the contributing challenges related to natural resources, soil erosion, irrigation planning, water, landscape, sustainable crop yield agriculture and biomass estimation. Natural resources and agricultural ecosystems include factors from nearby regions where landscape and agriculture practices (direct or indirect) interface with the water, vegetation, irrigation planning and ecology. Changes in climatic situations impact all the natural resources, ecology, and landscape of agricultural systems, which affects productivity. This book summarizes the various aspects of soil erosion, soil compaction...
This book presents cutting-edge research and developments in the field of biomedical engineering, with a special emphasis on results achieved in Vietnam and neighboring low- and middle-income countries. Covering both fundamental and applied research, and focusing on the theme of “Translational Healthcare Technology from Advanced to Low and Middle Income Countries in the Era of Covid and Digital Transformation”, it reports on the design, fabrication, and application of low-cost and portable medical devices, biosensors, and microfluidic devices, on improved methods for biological data acquisition and analysis, on nanoparticles for biological applications, and on new achievements in biomech...

This book aims to provide state-of-the-art knowledge in the field of Intelligence of Things to both academic and industrial readers. In particular, undergraduate, graduate, and researchers may find valuable information to drive their future research. This book is considered a reference for numerous courses such as Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, Intelligent Systems, and Mobile Networks. In the industrial area, this book provides information on recent studies in applying AI to IoT developments, which help to align and shorten R&D processes to introduce new classes of intelligent IoT products. This book provides a technical reference for interdisciplinary studies which utilize machine learning and IoT as tools in their fields such as constructional management, smart agriculture, Earth sciences and geo-spatial analysis, intelligent business, and digital transformation in education.
This book contains inspiring stories of how World Bank Group projects have affected and transformed lives across East Asia and Pacific. You will see pictures and hear the voices of our partners in development: a mother cradling her little boy who is alive because of a new health facility in Cambodia; a school principal in Beijing who talks with passion about how her school is part of the solar energy wave; a cocoa farmer in Papua New Guinea who happily works with youth to help them build a sustainable crop and a sustainable future; a village chief in Lao PDR who lovingly holds his grandson and talks about the better life he now knows the boy can have; a student in Vietnam whose life changed when she received a scholarship. They are testimony to the power of seemingly small things that gave them an opportunity to build a better life for themselves, their families, their communities. East Asia and Pacific has experienced remarkable growth and prosperity, with extreme poverty falling faster than in any other region. However, over 340 million people across the region still live on just $2 a day. This book conveys stories demonstrating how these people are changing that statistic.
Since the Doi Moi policy of economic renovation was introduced in 1986, Vietnam has undergone deep transformations as a result of the transition to a socialist-oriented market economy. Social and urban transition has taken place in parallel, as urban dynamics were spurred on by Vietnamese public and private stakeholders, and by external agents such as international organizations and international solidarity organizations, experts, consultants and bilateral aid organizations.Here are the results of research carried out by French, Canadian and Vietnamese teams from the north and south of the country on the overarching theme of Vietnamese cities in transition. Some of this research deals with u...
Machine Learning in Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences: Theoretical and Practical Applications is a practical guide on implementing different variety of extreme learning machine algorithms to Earth and environmental data. The book provides guided examples using real-world data for numerous novel and mathematically detailed machine learning techniques that can be applied in Earth, environmental, and planetary sciences, including detailed MATLAB coding coupled with line-by-line descriptions of the advantages and limitations of each method. The book also presents common postprocessing techniques required for correct data interpretation. This book provides students, academics, and resea...
Hydrological extremes have become a major concern because of their devastating consequences and their increased risk as a result of climate change and the growing concentration of people and infrastructure in high-risk zones. The analysis of hydrological extremes is challenging due to their rarity and small sample size, and the interconnections between different types of extremes and becomes further complicated by the untrustworthy representation of meso-scale processes involved in extreme events by coarse spatial and temporal scale models as well as biased or missing observations due to technical difficulties during extreme conditions. The complexity of analyzing hydrological extremes calls...
