Based on the authors’ research, this book introduces the main processing techniques in hyperspectral imaging. In this context, SVM-based classification, distance comparison-based endmember extraction, SVM-based spectral unmixing, spatial attraction model-based sub-pixel mapping and MAP/POCS-based super-resolution reconstruction are discussed in depth. Readers will gain a comprehensive underst…
This book introduces the subject of hyperelasticity in a concise manner mainly directed to students of solid mechanics who have a familiarity with continuum mechanics. It focuses on important introductory topics in the field of nonlinear material behavior and presents a number of example problems and solutions to greatly aid the student in mastering the difficulty of the subject and gaining nec…
This thesis outlines the first synthesis of a new complex branched polymer architecture that aims to combine the benefits of dendrimers with the simplicity of conventional polymerisation. There is no other available literature on these remarkable materials, dubbed hyperbranched polydendrons, due to their novelty. The new materials were shown to have very high molecular weights (>1,000,000 g/mol…

Pediatric Neuro-Oncology is undergoing a rapid transformation within all of its key disciplines. Rapid advances in our understanding in the biology of medulloblastoma, pontine glioma, low-grade and high-grade glioma, ependymoma, embryonal tumors abundant neuropil and true rosettes (ETANER), and typical rhabdoid teratoid tumor (ATRT) have ushered in a new era of clinical and molecular diagnostic…
Hyper Bio Assembler for Cellular Systems is the first book to present a new methodology for measuring and separating target cells at high speed and constructing 3D cellular systems in vitro. This book represents a valuable resource for biologists, biophysicists and robotic engineers, as well as researchers interested in this new frontier area, offering a better understanding of the measurement,…
Various psychographic traits that most directly influence consumers? private label attitudes are the focal point of Stefanie Weiss? investigation. The author develops a comprehensive profile of psychographic predictors of attitude and identifies ways of translating these insights into managerial practice. Her conclusions thereby strongly contribute to understanding and describing purchasers of …
The past 30 years bear witness to a profound evolution in our ability to diagnose pediatric cancers. What were once common diagnostic dilemmas are now routinely categorized with the help of ancillary tests such as immunohistochemistry, fl uorescence in situ hybridization, and a myriad of molecular diagnostics tools. We are now moving into an unprecedented new realm wherein personalized medicin…
This book presents a critical review of a criterion of risk, created to assess the flood risk to heritage buildings, and evaluates this criterion by applying it to the sample Portuguese heritage buildings. In a first approach, the total number of potential parameters is effectively reduced and the selected criteria are divided into two different groups: the monument’s location in relation to …
