Handbook of Research on Thrust Technologies Effect on Image Processing
Image processing integrates and extracts data from photos for a variety of uses. Applications for image processing are useful in many different disciplines. A few examples include remote sensing, space applications, industrial applications, medical imaging, and military applications. Imaging systems come in many different varieties, including those used for chemical, optical, thermal, medicinal, and molecular imaging. To extract the accurate picture values, scanning methods and statistical analysis must be used for image analysis. Thrust Technologies Effect on Image Processing provides insights into image processing and the technologies that can be used to enhance additional information within an image. The book is also a useful resource for researchers to grow their interest and understanding in the burgeoning fields of image processing. Covering key topics such as image augmentation, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing, this premier reference source is ideal for computer scientists, industry professionals, researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.
Caste, Entrepreneurship and the Illusions of Tradition
Caste, Entrepreneurship and the Illusions of Tradition is an ethnographic study of the potters of Kolkata’s Kumartuli, an analysis of their lives and the related commodification and instrumentalization of caste. This group of artisans turned artists do not display passive responses to colonial and capitalist encounters but engage actively with the modern and economic developments of society at large, redefining the concept of caste identity in the process. Caste, Entrepreneurship and the Illusions of Tradition suggests a new academic direction for the study of modern India, and of caste in particular, through an empirically grounded portrayal of the synthesis of traditional categories and contemporary realities.
Handbook of Research on Safe Disposal Methods of Municipal Solid Wastes for a Sustainable Environment
Managing solid waste is one of the biggest challenges in urban areas around the world. Technologically advanced economies generate vast amounts of organic waste materials, many of which are disposed of in landfills. In the future, efficient use of carbon-containing waste and all other waste materials must be increased to reduce the need for virgin raw materials acquisition, including biomass, and reduce carbon emissions to the atmosphere, mitigating climate change. Moreover, expeditious development in information and communications technology (ICT) has made the machines more powerful and efficient, but at the same time, there is a simultaneous decrease in product life leading to an extensive...
Glycochemical Synthesis
This book is a comprehensive and concise review on principles, strategies, and crucial advances in glycochemistry. It focuses on synthesis and practical applications and emphasizes state-of-the-art approaches to the assembly and design of sugars. • Provides detailed discussion on specific topics like oligosaccharide assembly and design of sugars, techniques in glycoconjugate preparation, multivalency, and carbohydrate-based drug design • Uses notable examples, like solution-based one-pot methods and automated methods for sugar assembly, to illustrate important concepts and advances in a rapidly emerging field • Discusses practical applications of carbohydrates, like medicine, therapeutics, drug and vaccine development
The Coloniality of Modern Taste
This book analyzes the coloniality of the concept of taste that gastronomy constructed and normalized as modern. It shows how gastronomy’s engagement with rationalist and aesthetic thought, and with colonial and capitalist structures, led to the desensualization, bureaucratization and racialization of its conceptualization of taste. The Coloniality of Modern Taste provides an understanding of gastronomy that moves away from the usual celebratory approach. Through a discussion of nineteenth-century gastronomic publications, this book illustrates how the gastronomic notion of taste was shaped by a number of specifically modern constraints. It compares the gastronomic approach to taste to con...
