Urban Health
Urban Health: A Global Perspective, Fifteenth Edition outlines the problems, issues, and solutions to health in urban areas on a global scale. The book focuses on several issues which impact the health of cities, such as the environment, pollution, climate change, ecology, social equity, health inequalities, and health problems. In addition, it covers several empirical studies which explain economic, political, and the social issues influencing health in urban areas. Pandemics and sustainable development will also be discussed. - Provides global case studies on the issues of urban health and air quality - Emphasizes the importance of health and sustainability from environmental pollution and climate change - Discusses principles from medical professionals and researchers on health in urban areas
Sustainable Urban Forms and Communities: Urban Geographies of Eastern India
This volume discusses the patterns and trends of urbanization in West Bengal - one of the most urbanized states of India in the early part of the 20th Century. It focuses on the emerging urban landscapes of the state and neighbouring areas on building sustainable urban units and sustainable communities. The book explores the changing urban geographies of the emerging towns of the state and discusses how proper governance can help them to change into sustainable urban units. It presents the historical context of urbanization of West Bengal and traces the factors responsible for the urban primacy of the state. It discusses topics such as the development of the spatial patterns and urbanization...
Kolkata — The Colonial City in Transition
This book explores the spatial characteristics of the city of Kolkata in India in terms of the physical, economic, social, political, and environmental aspects of urban geography, and focuses upon the inherent processes that impact its transformation. It discusses different facets of urban geography and highlights the contemporary challenges of a major primate city in South Asia, which represents the conflicts between the traditional and the modern, the rich and the poor, the skyscrapers and the shanties. With its detailed empirical research and mapping exercises based on real-time remote sensing data, the book offers an understanding of a range of contemporary urban issues. It examines the ...
Water Resources Monitoring, Management, and Sustainability
Water Resources Monitoring, Management, and Sustainability: Application of Geostatistics and Geospatial Modeling, Volume 16, a new volume in the Developments in Environmental Science series, introduces a variety of advanced modeling techniques like changing climate and land use/land cover, hydrological models, and machine learning approaches. These techniques are applied to address water resources and environmental monitoring, as well as planning and sustainable management of water resources. Further, the book discusses how to manage water resources at various local, regional, and international levels while incorporating environmental considerations. Finally, it delves into cutting-edge tech...
Combinatorial Image Analysis
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 18th International Workshop on Combinatorial Image Analysis, IWCIA 2017, held in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, in June 2017. The 27 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 47 submissions. The workshop is organized in topical sections of theoretical foundations and theory of applications, namely: discrete geometry and topology; tilings and patterns; grammars, models and other technical tools for image analysis; image segmentation, classification; reconstruction; compression; texture analysis; bioimaging.
Discrete Geometry for Computer Imagery
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Discrete Geometry for Computer Imagery, DGCI 2014, held in Siena, Italy, September 2014. The 34 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from 60 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on Models for Discrete Geometry, Discrete and Combinatorial Topology, Geometric Transforms, Discrete Shape Representation, Recognition and Analysis, Discrete Tomography, Morphological Analysis, Discrete Modelling and Visualization, Discrete and Combinatorial Tools for Image Segmentation and Analysis.
I Want To Tell Something
Snehashish Babu has always been proud of his big, happy joint family. His two younger brothers are his pillars. He is there for them through thick and thin and was sure that it is true vice-versa. He hopes to set an example in the modern society that joint families still prevail. It isn't money which keeps a family together but the love, affection, respect and little adjustments here and there that do the magic! Snehashish Babu has always had all those but are his brothers, with their wives willing to do such small sacrifices? Are they willing to adjust a tad-bit for the love and respect of their elder brother?
It's A Different Story
Neither it was his mistake nor fault, as the society would assert if get to know… A boy loves a girl at a tender age when he was just in class VIII… He always used to look for the chances to meet her. He got astounded every now and then in her presence but was too shy to speak and start conversation with her. That particular girl used to erase all his nightmares and intricacies he had faced in life… Souvik was in class IX and Prerna in VIII, just a year apart. Souvik’s one-sided love turned into love from both sides, but was in vein. As when he was in XII, she couldn’t make to XI in the same school. Hence, he was poignant. He didn’t give his family members a single hint to trace out his young-age love, but somehow his sister spots it out all through his behaviour. In order to liberate himself, Souvik starts to spill out his story to her, his love story of 4 years; when he was only 12.
Combinatorial Image Analysis
This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Workshop on Combinatorial Image Analysis, IWCIA 2015, held in Kolkata, India, in November 2015. The 24 revised full papers and 2 invited papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The workshop provides theoretical foundations and methods for solving problems from various areas of human practice. In contrast to traditional approaches to image analysis which implement continuous models, float arithmetic and rounding, combinatorial image analysis features discrete modelsusing integer arithmetic. The developed algorithms are based on studying combinatorial properties of classes of digital images, and often appear to be more efficient and accurate than those based on continuous models.
Southern Vietnamese Modernist Architecture
"Southern Vietnamese Modernist Architecture" features beautiful architectural photography that illustrates the outstanding accomplishment of the people of southern Vietnam in developing a mid-century modernist architecture that is extraordinary in the world. Especially for Americans, Vietnam has been a war instead of a country. The world didn’t notice that the Vietnamese were simultaneously constructing modern apartment buildings, houses, large public buildings, and public housing as they developed a new nation. And the world didn’t anticipate that this architecture would be so overtly modernist rather than an adaption of traditional Vietnamese designs to the continuation of colonial arc...
