Overview: Explores the effective integration of human-autonomous systems.Examines the implications of gaps that must be tackled to enable a successful integration of autonomous and human systems.Written by lead.This volume explores the intersection of robust intelligence (RI) and trust in autonomous systems across multiple contexts among autonomous hybrid systems, where hybrids are arbitrary combinations of humans, machines and robots. To better understand the relationships between artificial intelligence (AI) and RI in a way that promotes trust between autonomous systems and human users, this

Overview: Recent Research in Robust Control and Linear Parameter Varying approaches.Devoted to applications to vehicle dynamics.Written by leading experts in the field.Vehicles are complex systems (non-linear, multi-variable) where the abundance of embedded controllers should ensure better security. This book aims at emphasizing the interest and potential of Linear Parameter Varying methods within the framework of vehicle dynamics, e.g. proposed control-oriented model, complex enough to handle some system non linearities but still simple for control or observer design, take into account the ad

Overview: These proceedings contain the main topics and results presented at the Fourth International Conference on Multivariate Approximation. The meeting took place during the week of September 24-29, 2000 at the now well-known "Haus Bommerholz", the guest-house of the University of Dortmund. It hosted 43 participants from 16 countries, and the program included 9 invited one-hour lectures, 21 contributed talks, and two problem sessions. The articles collected here are carefully peer-refereed and suitably edited for publication. Following the tradition of this series of conferences, the meeti

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding thesis by Tongji University and International Association for Fire Safety Science.Develops a probabilistic approach to assess the service life of intumescent coatings appliThis thesis studied the effect of aging of intumescent coatings (ICs) on the reliability of protected steel columns in fire condition and developed a probabilistic approach to assess the service life of ICs applied on steel columns. In the study, Monte Carlo simulations were conducted to obtain the reliability index or failure probability of steel columns protected by ICs subjected to co

Overview: Describes the current and potential techniques for the recovery of valuable resources.Discusses the applications to specific types of wastes with examples from current practices.Presents recent and emThis book examines resource recovery and recycling from waste metal dust, including currently used techniques for waste processing and recycling and their applications, with practical examples and economic potentials of the processes. The focus of this book is on resource recovery by suitable treatments and techniques, including those of recovery by-products. For the first time, this boo

Overview: This comparative ethnographic study of risk-related strategies is unique because of its comparative dimension in the research, the author‘s address of risk and consequent societal adaptations in group.A research focus on hazards, risk perception and risk minimizing strategies is relatively new in the social and environmental sciences. This volume by a prominent scholar of East African societies is a powerful example of this growing interest. Earlier theory and research tended to describe social and economic systems in some form of equilibrium. However recent thinking in human ecology

Overview: This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Recent Trends in Image Processing and Pattern Recognition, RTIP2R 2021, held in Msida, Malta, in December 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held online. .The 19 full papers and 14 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 84 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections:​ healthcare: medical imaging and informatics; computer vision and pattern recognition; document analysis and recognition; signal processing and machine learning;

Overview: wird -und als deren Teilaspekt eine Loslösung der Moral von der Religion -, stellt sich die Frage nach einer formulierbaren Einheit dieses Ganzen vor dem Hintergrund des Eindrucks drohender Desintegration. Es wäre also nur allzu verständlich, wenn die soziologische Vorstellung unmittelbarer sozialer "Integration" einen ihrer Gründe findet im Eindruck der Krisenerfahrung der Soziologie im Blick auf die Modemisierung der Gesellschaft. Auch wenn es nach neueren Erkenntnissen zutreffend ist, dass es "keine funktionierende menschliche Gesellschaft ohne ein Ordnungssys­ tem" gibt (Neumann

Overview: Reinforcement learning is the learning of a mapping fromsituations to actions so as to maximize a scalar reward orreinforcement signal. The learner is not told which action to take, asin most forms of machine learning, but instead must discover whichactions yield the highest reward by trying them. In the mostinteresting and challenging cases, actions may affect not only theimmediate reward, but also the next situation, and through that allsubsequent rewards. These two characteristics -- trial-and-errorsearch and delayed reward -- are the most important distinguishingfeatures of reinf

Overview: Provides recent development in thin-film solar cells (TFSC).Covers properties of materials and its suitability for PV applications.Discusses details of different thin-film technologies.This book provides recent development in thin-film solar cells (TFSC). TFSC have proven the promising approach for terrestrial and space photovoltaics. TFSC have the potential to change the device design and produce high efficiency devices on rigid/flexible substrates with significantly low manufacturing cost. TFSC have several advantages in manufacturing compared to traditional crystalline Si-solar ce

Overview: Addresses an area of major research and development.Discusses potassium‘s role in signaling and regulation of biotic and abiotic stresses.Presents recent advances related to nutrient-use-efficiency an.Potassium (K.+.) is an essential mineral macronutrient abundantly present in the cytosol which, unlike other macronutrients, is not metabolized and does not integrate into macromolecules. Compared to animal cells, K.+.  is more abundantly present in plant cells. .Overall performance of the plant, and operation of metabolic machinery depends upon intracellular K.+. homeostasis (K.+. upta
