Improvements in hospital management and emergency medical and critical care services require continual attention and dedication to ensure efficient and proper care for citizens. To support this endeavor, professionals rely more and more on the application of information systems and technologies to promote the overall quality of modern healthcare. Implementing effective technologies and strategies ensures proper quality and instruction for both the patient and medical practitioners. Hospital Management and Emergency Medicine: Breakthroughs in Research and Practice examines the latest scholarly material on emerging strategies and methods for delivering optimal emergency medical care and examin...
The two-volume set LNAI 14115 and 14116 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd EPIA Conference on Progress in Artificial Intelligence, EPIA 2023, held in Faial Island, Azores, in September 2023. The 85 full papers presented in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 163 submissions. The papers have been organized in the following topical sections: ambient intelligence and affective environments; ethics and responsibility in artificial intelligence; general artificial intelligence; intelligent robotics; knowledge discovery and business intelligence; multi-agent Systems: theory and applications; natural language processing, text mining and applications; planning, scheduling and decision-making in AI; social simulation and modelling; artifical intelligence, generation and creativity; artificial intelligence and law; artificial intelligence in power and energy systems; artificial intelligence in medicine; artificial intelligence and IoT in agriculture; artificial intelligence in transportation systems; artificial intelligence in smart computing; artificial intelligence for industry and societies.
The design of most modern engineering systems entails the consideration of a good trade-off between the several targets requirements to be satisfied along the system life such as high reliability, low redundancy and low operational costs. These aspects are often in conflict with one another, hence a compromise solution has to be sought. Innovative computing techniques, such as genetic algorithms, swarm intelligence, differential evolution, multi-objective evolutionary optimization, just to name few, are of great help in founding effective and reliable solution for many engineering problems. Each chapter of this book attempts to using an innovative computing technique to elegantly solve a different engineering problem.

The LNAI series reports state-of-the-art results in artificial intelligence research, development, education, at a high level and in both printed and electronic form. Enjoying tight cooperation with the R&D community, with numerous individuals, as well as with prestigious organizations and societies, LNAI has grown into the most comprehensive artificial intelligence research forum available. The scope of LNAI spans the whole range of artificial intelligence and intelligent information processing including interdisciplinary topics in a variety of application fields.
The 8th issue of the Transactions on Computational Science has been divided into two parts. Part I, prepared by Guest Editors Nadia Nedjah, Abdelhamid Bouchachia, and Luiza de Macedo Mourelle, consists of 5 detailed papers, presenting state-of-the-art research results on adaptive models for evolutionary computation and their application in various dynamic environments. The 6 papers in Part II take an in-depth look at selected computational science research in the areas of geometric computing, Euclidean distance transform, distributed systems, segmentation, visualization of monotone data, and data interpolation.

Now in paperback! Music for More than One Piano An Annotated Guide Maurice Hinson When one piano is simply not enough. "Maurice Hinson's [Music for More than One Piano] ought not only to stand in the bookshelf for reference, but as a true dictionary in the best sense, it should mainly be read for pleasure and enlightenment." -- Konrad Wolff In an alphabetic listing by composer, this guide describes works for two or more keyboard instruments composed mainly since 1700. The range of combinations is considerable: works for two, three, four, or more pianos; for two or more pianos with other instruments, voice, or tape; for piano and harpsichord; for two player pianos; and for two pianos tuned a ...
Since it was compiled in the early 20th Century, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion has attracted the interest of politicians and academicians, and generated extensive research. Exploring the tract’s successful dissemination and examining the impact of the Protocols across the world, this book attempts to understand its continuing popularity, one hundred years after its first appearance, in so many diverse societies and cultures.
