City Out of Chaos
systems such as climate, society, economies and cities." "The book is specifically concerned with cities. The aim of the authors is to promote a new operative approach to the study of urban systems through an integrated, systemic view of their components and relations with the outside. Evolutionary science opens new development prospects for cities in the framework of sustainability." --Book Jacket.
Sustainable Energy Landscapes
In the near future the appearance and spatial organization of urban and rural landscapes will be strongly influenced by the generation of renewable energy. One of the critical tasks will be the re-integration of these sustainable energy landscapes into the existing environment—which people value and want to preserve—in a socially fair, environmentally sound, and economically feasible manner. Accordingly, Sustainable Energy Landscapes: Designing, Planning, and Development focuses on the municipal and regional scale, where energy-conscious interventions are effective, and stakeholders can participate actively in the transition process. This book presents state-of-the-art knowledge in the e...
Sustainable Development and Planning X
This volume contains research from the 10th International Conference on Sustainable Development and Planning. The papers included in this volume form a collection of research from academics, policy makers, practitioners and other stakeholders from across the globe who discuss the latest advances in the field. Problems related to development and planning, which affect rural and urban areas, are present in all regions of the world. Accelerated urbanisation has resulted in deterioration of the environment and loss of quality of life. Urban development can also aggravate problems faced by rural areas such as forests, mountain regions and coastal areas, amongst many others. Taking into considerat...
Ecological Economics Research Trends
This new book presents important research in the field of ecological economics which is a trans-disciplinary field of academic research that addresses the dynamic and spatial interdependence between human economies and natural ecosystems. Ecological economics brings together and connects different disciplines, within the natural and social sciences but especially between these broad areas. Ecological economics presents a more pluralistic approach to the study of environmental problems and policy solutions, characterised by systems perspectives, adequate physical and biological contexts, and a focus on long-term environmental sustainability.
Atlas of Knowledge
The power of mapping: principles for visualizing knowledge, illustrated by many stunning large-scale, full-color maps. Maps of physical spaces locate us in the world and help us navigate unfamiliar routes. Maps of topical spaces help us visualize the extent and structure of our collective knowledge; they reveal bursts of activity, pathways of ideas, and borders that beg to be crossed. This book, from the author of Atlas of Science, describes the power of topical maps, providing readers with principles for visualizing knowledge and offering as examples forty large-scale and more than 100 small-scale full-color maps. Today, data literacy is becoming as important as language literacy. Well-desi...
Steps Towards an Evolutionary Physics
This book introduces the elements of a new evolutionary approach to physics. Based on intuition, this concept was originated by the late Chemistry Nobel Prize winner Ilya Prigogine.The text will appeal to both technical and graduate audiences as well as general readers. It deals with the following topics: Epistemological Basis of Evolutionary Thermodynamics; Far From Equilibrium - Thermodynamics and Irreversibility; The Concept of Negentropy (From Boltzman to Szent-György, Through Schrödinger's "What's Life"); Energy Versus Entropy; Is Entropy Always a Function State? The Arrow of Time and the Role of Events in an Evolutionary Physical-Chemistry; First and Second Principles of Thermodynami...
Machine Learning and Deep Learning in Efficacy Improvement of Healthcare Systems
The goal of medical informatics is to improve life expectancy, disease diagnosis and quality of life. Medical devices have revolutionized healthcare and have led to the modern age of machine learning, deep learning and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) with their proliferation, mobility and agility. This book exposes different dimensions of applications for computational intelligence and explains its use in solving various biomedical and healthcare problems in the real world. This book describes the fundamental concepts of machine learning and deep learning techniques in a healthcare system. The aim of this book is to describe how deep learning methods are used to ensure high-quality data pr...
