The Ghost of Fukuda Aijiro
The Ghost of Fukuda Aijiro By: Jonathan Faulkner The modern say setting is Kenai landing, a 100-year-old cannery at the mouth of Alaska’s famous Kenai River. In this former Kenaitez fish camp, ancient spirits dwell and Fukuda Aijiro, fifty years buried, is running out of time. Juxtaposing this timeframe is the WWII-era evacuation of Alaska’s Aleut population from their ancestral homeland. Transferred to squalid camps and abandoned mines in southeast Alaska, Aleuts suffered irreparable harm to their people, a “forgotten war” that is traced here through the family of Needra Kudrin. Keeno Kudrin, captured and imprisoned by the Japanese, is among those tragically displaces. As he struggles to recover his prewar existence, Keeno must confront the forces of good and evil and the ghost of Fukuda Aijiro. Forced to resign the prior year, following his admission that the ghost of Fannie Guthry-Baehm helped him indict Bill Brady for murder; Chief Callahan is called back into duty. As fact-based collection of evidence collides with his newfound faith, Chief Callahan is asked to investigate a suspicious death, which means unraveling the mysteries of the past.
New Trends in E-service and Smart Computing
This book examines theoretical and practical aspects of emerging technologies in e-service and artificial intelligence from an academic and professional viewpoint. To do so, it focuses on three major areas: the development of novel user support systems; development of smart mobility; and emerging technologies in Artificial Intelligence (AI). With regard to the development of novel user support systems, Chapter 1 introduces alternative ingredients recommendation using data on co-occurrence relation and ingredients categories to support cooking, while Chapter 2 introduces a study on location information inference using data acquired by low-energy Bluetooth devices. Turning to the development o...
Advances in Pattern Recognition - ICAPR 2001
The paper is organized as follows: In section 2, we describe the no- orientation-discontinuity interfering model based on a Gaussian stochastic model in analyzing the properties of the interfering strokes. In section 3, we describe the improved canny edge detector with an ed- orientation constraint to detect the edges and recover the weak ones of the foreground words and characters; In section 4, we illustrate, discuss and evaluate the experimental results of the proposed method, demonstrating that our algorithm significantly improves the segmentation quality; Section 5 concludes this paper. 2. The norm-orientation-discontinuity interfering stroke model Figure 2 shows three typical samples o...
The Hunt
'Brilliant and addictive . . . Think of The Hunger Games with vampires' Richelle Mead, author of the bestselling Vampire Academy series Against all odds, 17-year-old Gene has survived in a world where humans have been eaten to near extinction by the general population. Gene is a human, and he knows the rules. Keep the truth a secret. It's the only way to stay alive in a world of night. Every decade there is a government sponsored hunt. When Gene is selected to be one of the combatants he must learn the art of the hunt - but also elude his fellow competitors as suspicions about his true nature grow. His need to survive is stronger than ever - but is it worth the cost of his humanity? 'Chilling and inventive' Becca Fitzpatrick, author of the NYT bestselling series Hush, Hush 'Razor-sharp prose, a genius plot, and a searing pace' Alyson Noë?l, author of the NYT bestselling series The Immortals 'Grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go... terrifying and sublime' Andrea Cremer, author of The Inventor's Secret series Also by Andrew Fukuda: The Prey The Trap
Cybernics
Cybernics plays a significant role in coping with an aging society using state-of-the-art technologies from engineering, clinical medicine and humanities. This new interdisciplinary field studies technologies that enhance, strengthen, and support physical and cognitive functions of human beings, based on the fusion of human, machine, and information systems. The design of a seamless interface for interaction between the interior and exterior of the human body is described in this book from diverse aspects such as the physical, neurophysiological, and cognitive levels. It is the first book to cover the many aspects of cybernics, allowing readers to understand the life support robotics technology for the elderly, including remote, in-home, hospital, institutional, community medical welfare, and vital-sensing systems. Serving as a valuable resource, this volume will interest not only graduate students, scientists, and engineers but also newcomers to the field of cybernics.
Polymers as Electrooptical and Photooptical Active Media
Polymeric materials have special advantages over other materials used for the recording, storage and retrieval of information, telecommunication transmission and visualization of images. The authors describe the synthesis, the physico-chemical behavior and the applications of these highly sensitive macromolecular systems. They discuss the most essential developments in this field. For scientists and professionals working in the field of electrooptical and photooptical polymeric materials.
Artificial Life Models in Hardware
Hopping, climbing and swimming robots, nano-size neural networks, motorless walkers, slime mould and chemical brains - "Artificial Life Models in Hardware" offers unique designs and prototypes of life-like creatures in conventional hardware and hybrid bio-silicon systems. Ideas and implementations of living phenomena in non-living substrates cast a colourful picture of state-of-art advances in hardware models of artificial life.
Signs in MR-Mammography
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women, and its prevalence has been steadily rising in recent decades. This book describes morphologic and kinetic signs that are important in the analysis of breast MR images before and after contrast administration and in various pulse sequences. It will help broaden the clinical application of MRM so that as many physicians as possible can make more accurate diagnoses.
