The eight-volume set LNCS 13431, 13432, 13433, 13434, 13435, 13436, 13437, and 13438 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 25th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2022, which was held in Singapore in September 2022. The 574 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 1831 submissions in a double-blind review process. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: Part I: Brain development and atlases; DWI and tractography; functional brain networks; neuroimaging; heart and lung imaging; dermatology; Part II: Computational (integrative) pathology; computational anatomy and physiology; op...
The seafood processing industry produces a large amount of by-products that usually consist of bioactive materials such as proteins, enzymes, fatty acids, and biopolymers. These by-products are often underutilized or wasted, even though they have been shown to have biotechnological, nutritional, pharmaceutical, and biomedical applications. For example, by-products derived from crustaceans and algae have been successfully applied in place of collagen and gelatin in food, cosmetics, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. Divided into four parts and consisting of twenty-seven chapters, this book discusses seafood by-product development, isolation, and characterization, and demonstrates the importance of seafood by-products for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and biomedical industries.
The six volume set LNCS 11361-11366 constitutes the proceedings of the 14th Asian Conference on Computer Vision, ACCV 2018, held in Perth, Australia, in December 2018. The total of 274 contributions was carefully reviewed and selected from 979 submissions during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers focus on motion and tracking, segmentation and grouping, image-based modeling, dep learning, object recognition object recognition, object detection and categorization, vision and language, video analysis and event recognition, face and gesture analysis, statistical methods and learning, performance evaluation, medical image analysis, document analysis, optimization methods, RGBD and depth camera processing, robotic vision, applications of computer vision.
This two volume set LNCS 10602 and LNCS 10603 constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Third International Conference on Cloud Computing and Security, ICCCS 2017, held in Nanjing, China, in June 2017. The 116 full papers and 11 short papers of these volumes were carefully reviewed and selected from 391 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections such as: information hiding; cloud computing; IOT applications; information security; multimedia applications; optimization and classification.
Metabolic and endocrine disorders are the main burden of noncommunicable chronic diseases, and they serve as important risk factors for cardiovascular diseases or multiple cancers. To date, a large number of correlates have been identified, but few of them were modifiable and causal. In general, causal relationships can be conceptualized not only in a probabilistic sense involving statistical terms and procedures, but also in the complexity of biological phenomena. The limited understanding of many underlying mechanisms hinders a deterministic conceptualization of disease causation. The identification of modifiable risk factors that have a causal effect on the incidence of these diseases and their complications is critical to the primary or secondary prevention of metabolic and endocrine diseases.
The 2016 International Conference on Mechanics and Materials Science (MMS2016) was held in Guangzhou, China on October 15-16, 2016.Aimed at providing an excellent international academic forum for all the researchers and practitioners, the conference attracted a wide spread participation among all over the universities and research institutes. MMS2016 features unique mixed topics of Mechatronics and Automation, Materials Science and Engineering, Materials Properties, Measuring Methods and Applications.This volume consists of 159 peer-reviewed articles by local and foreign eminent scholars, which cover the frontiers and hot topics in the relevant areas.
Holidays are a key to helping us understand the transformation of national, regional, community and ethnic identities. In Celebrating Canada, Matthew Hayday and Raymond Blake situate Canada in an international context as they examine the history and evolution of our national and provincial holidays and annual celebrations. The contributors to this volume examine such holidays as Dominion Day, Victoria Day, Quebec’s Fête Nationale and Canadian Thanksgiving, among many others. They also examine how Canadians celebrate the national days of other countries (like the Fourth of July) and how Dominion Day was observed in the United Kingdom. Drawing heavily on primary source research, and theories of nationalism, identities and invented traditions, the essays in this collection deepen our understanding of how these holidays have influenced the evolution of Canadian identities.
This is an open access book. We are pleased to announce our Springer International Conference on Advances in Nano-Neuro-Bio-Quantum (I-CAN – 2023) which will be a unique conference where we will connect Biological Function through Computational sciences to the world of integrated quantum physics, chemistry, biology, medicine and therapeutics. The quantum science is seeking insights in Bioinformatics through quantum computing which again is an interdisciplinary filed linking quantum physics, chemistry and biology with computer science. Quantum computers achieve unprecedented calculating capabilities by harnessing the bizarre properties of matter on the subatomic scale, where electrons exist...
Edited by one of the most well-respected and prolific engineers in the world and his team, this book provides a comprehensive overview of solar cells and explores the history of evolution and present scenarios of solar cell design, classification, properties, various semiconductor materials, thin films, wafer-scale, transparent solar cells, and other fundamentals of solar cell design. Solar cells are semiconductor devices that convert light photons into electricity in photovoltaic energy conversion and can help to overcome the global energy crisis. Solar cells have many applications including remote area power systems, earth-orbiting satellites, wristwatches, water pumping, photodetectors an...
