The 13-volume set LNCS 14425-14437 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th Chinese Conference on Pattern Recognition and Computer Vision, PRCV 2023, held in Xiamen, China, during October 13–15, 2023. The 532 full papers presented in these volumes were selected from 1420 submissions. The papers have been organized in the following topical sections: Action Recognition, Multi-Modal Information Processing, 3D Vision and Reconstruction, Character Recognition, Fundamental Theory of Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Vision Problems in Robotics, Autonomous Driving, Pattern Classification and Cluster Analysis, Performance Evaluation and Benchmarks, Remote Sensing Image Interpretation, Biom...
This book timely provides high-quality records of 32 PTB sections across different depositional settings from terrestrial to marine facies in South China, including descriptions of lithologies, high-resolution correlation of key boundaries and fossil occurrences at each section. This book also analyzes the patterns and processes of the community and ecosystem evolution over space and through time in the lead to the end-Permian mass extinction, and critically analyzes the mostly debated hypothesis, anoxia and volcanism, which were considered as the causes of mass extinction, based on the data from the studied sections of South China, together with materials from other regions of the world.
A population explosion is taking place. While scientists argue the effects, Joe Jensen a Dakota farmer; Margo Johnson, a lumber baron's daughter; Po Ting, a Chinese student; Dobie Baxter, an adopted African orphan; Van Tran, a Eurasian; Felix Maximo, a Mexican immigrant and Ying Wu, a Chinese pirate experience the effects. The beginning of a world wide famine; the destruction of the worlds remaining rain forests; disease, malnutrition and ethnic warfare decimate millions. Driven by corporate greed a huge agricultural conglomerate tries to corner the worlds supply of food. A logging conglomerate without conscience decimates old growth forest across the world. The agriculture company and the logging company conspire to supply adulterate food to innocent peoples. The famine begins in North Korea and encompasses China. The totalitarian governments of those two countries unable to cope with the resulting anarchy, begin to disintegrate. Ancient colonization policies cause tribal wars which dislocate millions of Africans causing disease and starvation and continuing warfare. Can the novel's heros reverse the chaotic trend until permanent solutions are developed?
This timely book documents marvelous brachiopod fossils from the Palaeozoic-Mesozoic transition of South China. Numerous beautiful pictures and detailed descriptions (specifically the measurements of body size) of brachiopod species are presented. Systematic discussion on the evolution of brachiopod biodiversity and morphological features across the critical interval is not only extremely important for paleontologists to understand the marine ecosystem evolution from the Palaeozoic to the Mesozoic, but also attractive for students who need to know about the end-Permian mass extinction. The book distinguishes itself from other studies by its detailed study of the taxonomy, biodiversity and paleoecology of Permian-Triassic brachiopods from different palaeogeographic facies, especially from the deep-water environment in South China. The book also offers a unique study of the response of morphological features of brachiopods to palaeoenvironmental changes, providing insights for the process of Permian-Triassic crisis.
Indefatigable traveller Isabella Bird visited Korea at a time of increasing foreign influence, and published her observations in 1898.
