This book reviews the field of helioseismology and its outstanding challenges and also offers a detailed discussion of the latest computational methodologies. The focus is on the development and implementation of techniques to create 3-D images of convection and magnetism in the solar interior and to introduce the latest computational and theoretical methods to the interested reader. With the i…
With different countries ascribing to different theories of air space and outer space law, Dr. Bittencourt Neto proposes in this Brief a reassessment of the international law related to the extension of state territories vertically. Taking into consideration the vast number of proposals offered by scholars and diplomatic delegations on this subject matter, as well as the principles of comparati…
Segmentation of anatomical structures in medical image data is an essential task in clinical practice. Dagmar Kainmueller introduces methods for accurate fully automatic segmentation of anatomical structures in 3D medical image data. The author's core methodological contribution is a novel deformation model that overcomes limitations of state-of-the-art Deformable Surface approaches, hence allo…
This book introduces a comprehensive theory of deformation and fracture to engineers and applied scientists. The author explains the gist of local symmetry (gauge invariance) intuitively so that engineers and applied physicists can digest it easily, rather than describing physical or mathematical details of the principle. Applications of the theory to practical engineering are also described, s…
This book gives a start-to-finish overview of the whole Fish4Knowledge project, in 18 short chapters, each describing one aspect of the project. The Fish4Knowledge project explored the possibilities of big video data, in this case from undersea video. Recording and analyzing 90 thousand hours of video from ten camera locations, the project gives a 3 year view of fish abundance in several tropic…
This brief presents emerging and promising communication methods for network reliability via delay tolerant networks (DTNs). Different from traditional networks, DTNs possess unique features, such as long latency and unstable network topology. As a result, DTNs can be widely applied to critical applications, such as space communications, disaster rescue, and battlefield communications. The brie…
Reports on a new generation of Internet controls that establish a new normative terrain in which surveillance and censorship are routine. Internet filtering, censorship of Web content, and online surveillance are increasing in scale, scope, and sophistication around the world, in democratic countries as well as in authoritarian states. The first generation of Internet controls consisted largely…
Saya memulai proyek penelitian fotobiologi pertama saya pada musim semi tahun 1957. Minat ilmiah saya sejak saat itu telah difokuskan pada fotobiologi dalam banyak aspeknya. Karena saya telah bekerja sebagai ahli botani, penelitian saya sendiri sebagian besar berkaitan dengan fotobiologi tumbuhan, tetapi selama ini, Saya tertarik pada aspek lain seperti penglihatan, fotobiologi kulit, dan biolu…
Unsur hara dalam pupuk fosfor (P) yang sepenuhnya (100 %) dimanfaatkan oleh tanaman pangan tanpa (Nol) mencemari tanah dengan zat-zat yang relevan dengan lingkungan merupakan konsep masa depan pemupukan P di bidang pertanian. Kelangkaan P merupakan salah satu tantangan utama bagi pertanian dalam waktu dekat. Pemborosan sumber daya tak terbarukan P, yang sebagian besar dikonsumsi untuk pemupukan…
This survey on the modernity of ethnomathematics addresses numerous themes related to both ethnomathematics and mathematics education. It offers a broader view of mathematics, including ideas, procedures, concepts, processes, methods, and practices rooted in distinct cultural environments. In addition, by reflecting on the social and political dimensions of ethnomathematics, another important a…
