The two volume set LNAI 3801 and LNAI 3802 constitute the refereed proceedings of the annual International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Security, CIS 2005, held in Xi'an, China, in December 2005. The 338 revised papers presented - 254 regular and 84 extended papers - were carefully reviewed and selected from over 1800 submissions. The first volume is organized in topical sections on learning and fuzzy systems, evolutionary computation, intelligent agents and systems, intelligent information retrieval, support vector machines, swarm intelligence, data mining, pattern recognition, and applications. The second volume is subdivided in topical sections on cryptography and coding, cryptographic protocols, intrusion detection, security models and architecture, security management, watermarking and information hiding, web and network applications, image and signal processing, and applications.
Over the last decade, information and communication technologies (ICT) have been increasingly used to achieve development goals. Developing countries, including poorer ones, have enjoyed rapid technological progress to help pull millions of people out of poverty. ICTs help transform economic and social activities for firms, governments and citizens. Information and Communication for Development 2009: Scaling Up Impact, the second issue of the World Bank's IC4D series, focuses on the effect of increased access to advanced ICT services and development of a vibrant IT sector on sustaining growth.
Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2013 International Conference on Mechatronics and Materials Engineering (ICMME 2013), May 25-27, 2013, Qiqihar, China
"Based on two and a half years of fieldwork in China, this book examines the cultural genesis and social mechanisms of stigma related to mental illness and HIV/AIDS in China. It also explores the bio-politics on stigma through detailed description of social exclusion experienced by people suffering from mental illness or HIV/AIDS and by systematic comparison on stigma between the two illnesses in the Chinese context. Through the comparison, this book describes the micro socio-dynamic process of stigmatization in the local Chinese context, highlights the identity transformation accompanying the illness trajectory the patients and their families have lived through, and ultimately connects Chinese society and its community-centered social value system and institutional arrangement to the stigma associated with mental illness and HIV/AIDS."--Provided by publisher
While there are more than 6,000 Chinese medicinals described in the Chinese medical literature on herbal medicine, only about 260 of these are typically used in day to day clinical practice. This book describes the clinical uses of this core repertoire of Chinese medicinals. This book is the ABCs of the art of practicing Chinese herbal medicine.
"""The report is essential reading for policy makers, government workers, and academics pursuing the goal of equitable, sustainable development across the world."" - N. R. Narayana Murthy, Chairman and Chief Mentor Infosys Technologies Ltd. Information and communication technology (ICT) is rapidly evolving, changing rich and poor societies alike. It has become a powerful tool for participating in the global economy and for offering new opportunities for development efforts. ICT can and should advance economic growth and reduce poverty in developing countries. It has been 20 years since the first telephone operator was privatized, a little over 10 since the World Wide Web emerged, and 5 since...
Boron-Based Fuel-Rich Solid Rocket Propellant Technology is a professional book that systematically introduces the latest research progress for boron-based fuel-rich solid propellants. It covers surface modifications, coating and agglomerating techniques, granulation, and characterization of amorphous boron powders, and its application to fuel-rich solid rocket propellants. Technologies for controlling the processing methods and combustion performance of fuel-rich propellants are examined, and the book concludes with a summary of the research progress in boron-based fuel-rich solid propellants and a look forward to the foreseeable development trends of military applications.
held from April 12 to 13, 2014 in Xi`an, China. The purpose of CSNS2014 is to provide a platform for researchers, engineers, and academicians, as well as industrial professionals, to present their research results and development on computer science and network security. The conference welcomes all the topics around Computer Science and Network Security. It provides enormous opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and application experiences, to establish global business or research cooperation. The proceeding volume of CSNS2014 will be published by DEStech Publications. All the accepted papers have been selected according to their originality, structure, uniqueness and other standards of same importance by a peer-review group made up by 2–3 experts. The conference program is of great profoundness and diversity composed of keynote speeches, oral presentations and poster exhibitions. It is sincerely hoped that the conference would not only be regarded as a platform to provide an overview of the general situation in related area, but also a sound opportunity for academic communication and connection.
The MSME2014 is hosted by Advanced Information Science Research Center (AISRC) and is sponsored by DEStech Publications, Inc., University of East Asia, University of Mysore and Reitaku University. MSME2014 aims to provide an excellent international academic forum for sharing knowledge and results in theory, methodology and applications in the aspects of material science and material engineering. This MSME2014 proceedings tends to collect the up-to-date, comprehensive and worldwide state-of-art knowledge on material science and material engineering, including material composites, ceramic, metal alloy material, polymer material, building materials, environmental friendly material, material performance, etc. All of accepted papers were subjected to strict peer- reviewing by 2–4 expert referees. The papers have been selected for this volume because of quality and the relevance to the conference. We hope this book will not only provide the readers a broad overview of the latest research results, but also provide the readers a valuable summary and reference in these fields.
This is a provocative collection of essays that provide cutting edge, original research in film studies, discussing a number of 'transgressive' films that have never before had such in-depth analysis and treatment. From '70s Italian horror films and extreme European cinema to Nazi propaganda films and fundamentalist Christian 'scare' movies, these essays explore many different genres and themes.
