This book exemplifies how algorithms are developed by mimicking nature. Classical techniques for solving day-to-day problems is time-consuming and cannot address complex problems. Metaheuristic algorithms are nature-inspired optimization techniques for solving real-life complex problems. This book emphasizes the social behaviour of insects,...
?This book presents the outcomes of the symposium “NEW METROPOLITAN PERSPECTIVES,” held at Mediterranea University, Reggio Calabria, Italy on May 26–28, 2020.
Addressing the challenge of Knowledge Dynamics and Innovation-driven Policies Towards Urban and Regional Transition,...
This book covers different aspects of real-world applications of optimization algorithms. It provides insights from the Sixth International Conference on Harmony Search, Soft Computing and Applications held at Istanbul University, Turkey, in July 2020. Harmony Search (HS) is one of the most popular metaheuristic algorithms, developed in 2001 by...
This book is a part of ICL new book series “ICL Contribution to Landslide Disaster Risk Reduction” founded in 2019. Peer-reviewed papers submitted to the Fifth World Landslide Forum were published in six volumes of this book series. This book contains the followings:
In his foreword to John Nunn’s book Applied Respiratory Physiology, John
Severinghaus, an anesthesiologist and also my postdoctoral mentor as a
Fellow at the Cardiovascular Research Institute at the University of California,
San Francisco, wrote the following under the title “A Flame for Hypnos.”
Learning (and teaching) the theoretical basis of chemical kinetics is not an easy task.
Following the diversification of master’s programmes, shorter undergraduate
programmes – typically three years in most European countries – do not provide
sufficient knowledge in physical chemistry courses to allow students to...
Writing a book is tempting, many ideas and topics, idea after idea, topic upon topic,
what to elaborate, which one to mention, the reader must find a satisfying answer,
enough knowledge; and overlooking or going-by topics is a painful choice for the
author, as space is limited, a hard decision is to be made without compromising...
