Imagine you are surfing the Internet, and you stop at a site where you could and would like to add or modify something. For instance, you have a literary reference or link to add. Or you've noticed a typing error. Perhaps you even have a lengthy article that you'd like to display on a separate page. So, you just click on the...
This volume provides an updated review of imaging abnormalities in orthopedic sports injuries. The first part of the book contains background information on relevant basic science and general imaging principles in sports traumatology. The second part comprises a topographic discussion of sports injuries. Each chapter highlights the merits of...
Understanding the decision-making processes of living systems, and the efforts to mimic them, are identified with research in Artificial Intelligence (AI). However, the recent popularity of neural networks, fuzzy systems and evolutionary computation, which are widely considered as areas related in AI, has created a need for a new definition to...
This book is written from an engineer's perspective of the mind. "Artificial Mind System" exposes the reader to a broad spectrum of interesting areas in general brain science and mind-oriented studies. In this research monograph a picture of the holistic model of an artificial mind system and its behaviour is drawn, as concretely as...
Knowledge Discovery today is a significant study and research area. In finding answers to many research questions in this area, the ultimate hope is that knowledge can be extracted from various forms of data around us. This book covers recent advances in unsupervised and supervised data analysis methods in Computational Intelligence for knowledge...
In these days of shortened fiscal horizons and contracted time-to-market schedules, traditional approaches to capacity planning are often seen by management as tending to inflate their production schedules. Rather than giving up in the face of this kind of relentless pressure to get things done faster, Guerrilla Capacity Planning facilitates...
Computed tomography is generally considered to be the best imaging modality for the
assessment of the lung parenchyma. High resolution computed tomography (HRCT)
is able to provide very high morphological detail of the normal and abnormal lung
parenchyma and has been widely accepted as the imaging gold standard for the lung...
An organism’s body size tells us a lot about how it makes a living, suggesting that
body size is a key parameter in evolution. We outline three large-scale trends in
body size evolution. Bergmann’s Rule is the tendency for warm-blooded species
at high latitudes to be larger than their close relatives nearer the equator....
This book offers a comprehensive review on the last development in the management and the treatment of acute and life-threatening conditions. Written by leading experts in the field, this book will help the clinician to understand the clinical problems and to select the methodological and technical options that will ensure prompt and...
With the advent of multidetector-row technology, excitement has returned to computed tomography. Not only can we now image faster and with better resolution than ever before. More importantly, the development of sophisticated image acquisition techniques has enabled us to venture into areas previously considered to be beyond the scope of CT...
The present book deals with algebras, congruences, morphisms, reasoning about identities, classes of algebras and their axiomatizability, etc., from the point of view of fuzzy logic. We therefore deal with topics traditionally studied in universal algebra. Our approach is the following. In classical universal algebra, one works in bivalent setting....
"Intelligent Data Mining – Techniques and Applications" is an organized edited collection of contributed chapters covering basic knowledge for intelligent systems and data mining, applications in economic and management, industrial engineering and other related industrial applications. The main objective of this book is to gather a...
