Impacts of Climate Change on Rainfall Extremes and Urban Drainage Systems
Impacts of Climate Change on Rainfall Extremes and Urban Drainage Systems provides a state-of-the-art overview of existing methodologies and relevant results related to the assessment of the climate change impacts on urban rainfall extremes as well as on urban hydrology and hydraulics. This overview focuses mainly on several difficulties and limitations regarding the current methods and discusses various issues and challenges facing the research community in dealing with the climate change impact assessment and adaptation for urban drainage infrastructure design and management. Authors: Patrick Willems, University of Leuven, Hydraulics division; Jonas Olsson, Swedish Meteorological and Hydro...
Intelligent Information and Database Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th Asian Conference on Intelligent Information and Database Systems, ACIIDS 2021, held in Phuket, Thailand, in April 2021.* The 67 full papers accepted for publication in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 291 submissions. The papers of the first volume are organized in the following topical sections: data mining methods and applications; machine learning methods; decision support and control systems; natural language processing; cybersecurity intelligent methods; computer vision techniques; computational imaging and vision; advanced data mining techniques and applications; intelligent and contextual systems; commonsense knowledge, reasoning and programming in artificial intelligence; data modelling and processing for industry 4.0; innovations in intelligent systems. *The conference was held virtually.
The Storm of Our Lives
This memoir vividly describes the struggle of one Vietnamese family and their seven day ordeal to escape persecution from Communist Vietnam. One of more than 840,000 "boat people" to have fled the war ravaged country, the author describes his family's epic journey and the historical, cultural, social, economic, and political problems that led to his father's decision to take his family away from their homeland. Drawing on his Catholic faith, Nguyen attests to the hardship and dangers that confronted the family in their journey and that did not end after his father died and the five children were forced to continue alone.

Analytical Modelling of Fuel Cells
In fuel cell research, the gap between fundamental electrochemical processes and the engineering of fuel cell systems is bridged by the physical modelling of fuel cells. This relatively new discipline aims to understand the basic transport and kinetic phenomena in a real cell and stack environment, paving the way for improved design and performance. The author brings his unique approach to the analytical modeling of fuel cells to this essential reference for energy technologists. Covers recent advances and analytical solutions to a range of problems faced by energy technologists, from catalyst layer performance to thermal stability Provides detailed graphs, charts and other tools (glossary, index) to maximize R&D output while minimizing costs and time spent on dead-end research Presents Kulikovsky’s signature approach (and the data to support it)—which uses "simplified" models based on idealized systems, basic geometries, and minimal assumptions—enabling qualitative understanding of the causes and effects of phenomena
Endocrine and Metabolic Effects on Maternal-fetal and Neonatal Outcomes
Pregnancy is a complex state with many endocrine and metabolic challenges to a woman's physiology. Inappropriate maternal endocrine and metabolic changes such as obesity, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and hypothyroidism, may lead to short-term and long-term complications in the mother and offspring. This not only affects population health, but also imposes a huge social and economic burden, accompanied by significant direct and indirect public health costs. Therefore, the study of endocrine and metabolic effects on maternal-fetal and neonatal outcomes is an especially important research field. These studies will lead to new approaches to predicting metabolic diseases in pregnancy and provid...
Dog Parasites Endangering Human Health
This book presents the latest information on canine parasites with zoonotic potential, to help avoid human infections. Compiled by international specialists, it covers protozoa, ectoparasites and helminth species of clinical importance in dogs, as well as the state of the art in diagnosis, preventive measures and potentially necessary treatment schemes. Dogs are commonly kept in families around the world and can predispose their human companions to disease. Updating and deepening insights from other specialist literature, the book is intended for practitioners and scientists alike. It also offers practical guidance for veterinary and human physicians and highlights unexplored research areas, making it a valuable resource for students and educated non-experts with an interest in parasitology, infectiology and zoonotic pet diseases.
Intelligent Computing Methodologies
This two-volume set of LNCS 11643 and LNCS 11644 constitutes - in conjunction with the volume LNAI 11645 - the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Intelligent Computing, ICIC 2019, held in Nanchang, China, in August 2019. The 217 full papers of the three proceedings volumes were carefully reviewed and selected from 609 submissions. The ICIC theme unifies the picture of contemporary intelligent computing techniques as an integral concept that highlights the trends in advanced computational intelligence and bridges theoretical research with applications. The theme for this conference is “Advanced Intelligent Computing Methodologies and Applications.” Papers related to this theme are especially solicited, including theories, methodologies, and applications in science and technology.
