Computer Engineering and Technology
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd CCF Conference on Computer Engineering and Technology, NCCET 2018, held in Yinchuan, China, in August 2018. The 17 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 120 submissions. They address topics such as processor architecture; application specific processors; computer application and software optimization; technology on the horizon.
Nutrient Cycling in Forest Ecosystems
The long-term productivity of forest ecosystems depends on the cycling of nutrients. The effect of carbon dioxide fertilization on forest productivity may ultimately be limited by the rate of nutrient cycling. Contemporary and future disturbances such as climatic warming, N-deposition, deforestation, short rotation sylviculture, fire (both wild and controlled), and the invasion of exotic species all place strains on the integrity of ecosystem nutrient cycling. Global differences in climate, soils, and species make it difficult to extrapolate even a single important study worldwide. Despite advances in the understanding of nutrient cycling and carbon production in forests, many questions rema...
Web Technologies and Applications
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of three workshops held at the 18th Asia-Pacific Web Conference, APWeb 2016, in Suzhou, China, in September 2016: the Second International Workshop on Web Data Mining and Applications, WDMA 2016, the First International Workshop on Graph Analytics and Query Processing, GAP 2016, and the First International Workshop on Spatial-temporal Data Management and Analytics, SDMA 2016. The 27 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions. The goal of these workshops is to promote the new research directions and applications, especially on web data, graph data, and spatial-temporal data management and analytics.
Conservation and the Genomics of Populations
The third edition of this established textbook provides an updated and comprehensive overview of the essential background, concepts, and tools required to understand how genetics can be used to conserve species, reduce threat of extinction, and manage species of ecological or commercial importance.
Neural Information Processing
The six-volume set LNCS 14447 until 14452 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 30th International Conference on Neural Information Processing, ICONIP 2023, held in Changsha, China, in November 2023. The 652 papers presented in the proceedings set were carefully reviewed and selected from 1274 submissions. They focus on theory and algorithms, cognitive neurosciences; human centred computing; applications in neuroscience, neural networks, deep learning, and related fields.
Sustaining the West
Western Canada’s natural environment faces intensifying threats from industrialization in agriculture and resource development, social and cultural complicity in these destructive practices, and most recently the negative effects of global climate change. The complex nature of the problems being addressed calls for productive interdisciplinary solutions. In this book, arts and humanities scholars and literary and visual artists tackle these pressing environmental issues in provocative and transformative ways. Their commitment to environmental causes emerges through the fields of environmental history, environmental and ecocriticism, ecofeminism, ecoart, ecopoetry, and environmental journal...
Climate Change and Insect Biodiversity
Key points - 1 Reviews the effects of climate change on plant-insect interactions 2 Includes topics such insect biodiversity informatics and conservation 3 Discusses food security, pest management, and beneficial and social insects 4 Covers topics like precision agriculture and climate-smart agriculture 5 Provides insights on the relation between agriculture intensification and insect biodiversity
Advanced Multiresponse Process Optimisation
This book presents an intelligent, integrated, problem-independent method for multiresponse process optimization. In contrast to traditional approaches, the idea of this method is to provide a unique model for the optimization of various processes, without imposition of assumptions relating to the type of process, the type and number of process parameters and responses, or interdependences among them. The presented method for experimental design of processes with multiple correlated responses is composed of three modules: an expert system that selects the experimental plan based on the orthogonal arrays; the factor effects approach, which performs processing of experimental data based on Taguchi’s quality loss function and multivariate statistical methods; and process modeling and optimization based on artificial neural networks and metaheuristic optimization algorithms. The implementation is demonstrated using four case studies relating to high-tech industries and advanced, non-conventional processes.
Trees in Trouble
A troubling story of the devastating and compounding effects of climate change in the Western and Rocky Mountain states, told through in–depth reportage and conversations with ecologists, professional forest managers, park service scientists, burn boss, activists, and more. Climate change manifests in many ways across North America, but few as dramatic as the attacks on our western pine forests. In Trees in Trouble, Daniel Mathews tells the urgent story of this loss, accompanying burn crews and forest ecologists as they study the myriad risk factors and refine techniques for saving this important, limited resource. Mathews transports the reader from the exquisitely aromatic haze of pondero...
