Advanced Techniques for Ground Penetrating Radar Imaging

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) has become one of the key technologies in subsurface sensing and, in general, in non-destructive testing (NDT), since it is able to detect both metallic and nonmetallic targets. GPR for NDT has been successfully introduced in a wide range of sectors, such as mining and geology, glaciology, civil engineering and civil works, archaeology, and security and defense. I…

Advances in Principal Component Analysis

This book describes and discusses the use of principal component analysis (PCA) for different types of problems in a variety of disciplines, including engineering, technology, economics, and more. It presents real-world case studies showing how PCA can be applied with other algorithms and methods to solve both large and small and static and dynamic problems. It also examines improvements made t…

Advanced Optimization Methods and Big Data Applications in Energy Demand Fore…

The use of data collectors in energy systems is growing more and more. For example, smart sensors are now widely used in energy production and energy consumption systems. This implies that huge amounts of data are generated and need to be analyzed in order to extract useful insights from them. Such big data give rise to a number of opportunities and challenges for informed decision making. In r…

“Ye Shall Know Them by Their Fruits”: A Mixed Methods Study on Corruption…

Why are historically Catholic countries and regions generally more corrupt and less competitive than historically Protestant ones? How has institutionalization of religion influenced the prosperity of countries in Europe and the Americas? This open access book addresses these critical questions by elucidating the hegemonic and emancipatory religious factors leading to these dissimilarities betw…

Advanced Methods of Power Load Forecasting

This reprint introduces advanced prediction models focused on power load forecasting. Models based on artificial intelligence and more traditional approaches are shown, demonstrating the real possibilities of use to improve prediction in this field. Models of LSTM neural networks, LSTM networks with a SESDA architecture, in even LSTM-CNN are used. On the other hand, multiple seasonal Holt-Winte…
