We are a country of languages. We recognized Hindi as our Official Language. We also feel and strongly believe that English is the language of intellectuals and anyone speaking in English is to be respected. A company stood up and fought for the Official Language Act. This is the story of their success and failure.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Emerging Technologies in Computer Engineering, ICETCE 2021, held in Jaipur, India, in February 2022. The 40 revised full papers along with 20 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 235 submissions. The papers are organized according to the following topical headings: cognitive computing; Internet of Things (IoT); machine learning and applications; soft computing; data science and big data analytics; blockchain and cyber security.
Xcos is a very powerful and open source block-based modeling and simulation system for dynamical systems. Its capabilities are comparable to commercially available block-based modeling and simulation tools, including Simulink(R), one of the most popular commercial tool. Xcos is useful for modeling continuous and discrete dynamical systems. Further, it provides facilities to seamlessly integrate continuous and discrete components in a single model, making it capable to handle hybrid dynamical systems. Xcos provides a modular approach to model complex dynamical systems using a block diagram editor. Xcos contains a rich library of commonly used blocks, arranged in various palettes for the conve...
Recent work has implicated inflammatory processes in the pathophysiology of a variety of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, stroke and multiple sclerosis. In this book leading experts in the field discuss molecular, in vivo and clinical aspects of neuroinflammation. It is hoped, with the wealth of research being conductied in this area, that novel therapeutic targets will be identified which will allow successful therapeutic intervention in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases.
The father of fiber optics, Narinder Singh Kapany was far more than your typical multi-hyphenate. Inventor, art collector, sculptor, farmer, entrepreneur, teacher, and a successful businessman, Dr Kapany was what Fortune magazine in its 1999 issue called, 'one of the seven unsung heroes of the 20th century'. An insightful and inspirational life story, this memoir chronicles his 90 remarkable years. Charming, idiosyncratic, and highly engaging, The Man who Bent Light serves up enough variety and verve to celebrate the lives of a half-dozen individuals. But there is only one Narinder Singh Kapany, and his life, illuminated in his singular memoir, is a life like no other.
Drawing out her mother's childhood memories of life in southern Italy at the dawn of the twentieth century, Mary Melfi takes an unconventional approach to autobiographical writing. Italy Revisited serves as a double memoir, told in dialogue between a mother and a daughter. The conversation takes the reader to a medieval town high up in the mountains where time is told by the shadow the sun casts, where wheat and olive oil are the currency of choice (barter is in use), and where marriage is as much about property as it is about love. As they re-create that vanished world, the pair finds greater understanding of the tumultuous relationships that sometimes exist between immigrant mothers and their children.
Small-Animal SPECT Imaging is an edited work derived from the first workshop on Small-Animal SPECT Imaging held January 14-16, 2004 at the University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA. The overall goal of the meeting and therefore this volume is to promote information exchange and collaboration between the research groups developing systems for small-animal applications. Topics include the biomedical significance of small-animal imaging, an overview of detector technologies including scintillation cameras and semi-conductor arrays, imager design and data acquisition systems, animal handling and anesthesia issues, objective assessment of image quality, and system modeling and reconstruction algorithms.
