PCM Enhanced Building Envelopes presents the latest research in the field of thermal energy storage technologies that can be applied to solar heating and cooling with the aim of shifting and reducing building energy demand.

This book discusses and compares several new trends that can be used to overcome Moore's law limitations, including Neuromorphic, Approximate, Parallel, In Memory, and Quantum Computing.

Inside, he shows how this can be possible. The hypothesis that cognition may shape perceptual experience has been traditionally labeled as the cognitive penetrability of perceptual experience.

This book offers the first systematic guide to machine ethics, bridging between computer science, social sciences and philosophy.

The primary readership includes graduate and PhD students and researchers in in the field of dynamical systems and their applications (control theory, economic dynamics, mathematical theory of climate, population dynamics, oscillation theory etc).

This book discusses three important, hot research issues: social networking-based learning, machine learning-based user modeling and sentiment analysis.

This book discusses various aspects of cloud computing, in which trust and fault-tolerance models are included in a multilayered, cloud architecture.

The ever-increasing competitive pressure on both sides of the market has led to the growing significance of prestige in employment as an efficient yardstick of performance. While prestige has always been important in the job market, continuously increasing competitive pressure is driving the role of prestige to new heights.

This book presents solutions to address water security in rapidly urbanizing cities, and explores the new paradigms of water security in changing contexts.

It presents various designs for water harvesting towers and projections for water collection, and describes innovative approaches to bioinspired water desalination, water purification and oil-water separation. Fresh water sustains human life and is vital for health.

This book deals with the complexity of art by focusing on the singularity of the work of art.

Based upon an analysis of the relevant details in all of Spinoza's philosophical works, the book reveals many important points, including the following: Spinoza's system is not, nor is meant to be, a foundational-deductive system but was meant to be a coherent system of a network model.

This book discusses email spam detection and its challenges such as text classification and categorization.

The thesis concludes with an investigation into the unexpected fractal behaviour observed arising from the phase conjugate mirror - a result that is testament to the richness and vibrancy of these highly nonlinear spin wave systems.

The book contains practical and innovative strategies to train clients with Traumatic Brain Injury, Autism, Intellectual Impairment and Behavioural Disorders to compensate for their deficits and to function independently within their environments.

The quest for the neutrino mass scale and mass ordering (specifying how the three masses are distributed) is an extremely exciting one, and will open the door towards new physics operating at energy scales we can only ever dream of reaching on Earth.

The question remains whether or not the prevailing moral justification of feeding the world is adequate given all the issues modern, developed country agriculture faces: pesticides in soil, water, and food, cruelty to animals, Biotech/GMO's, corporate agriculture, pollution by animal factory waste, exploitation of and cruelty to migrant labor.

Since 9/11, the United States and its allies have been waging an endless War on Terror to counter violent extremism by "winning hearts and minds," particularly in Afghanistan.

Major updates on techniques and subject coverage (including deep learning) are included. Topics and features: guides the reader through the process of data science, following the interdependent steps of project understanding, data understanding, data blending and transformation, modeling, as well as deployment and monitoring;

This book examines recent methods for data-driven fault diagnosis of multimode continuous processes. The book provides both theoretical and practical tools to help readers address the fault diagnosis problem by drawing data-driven methods from at least three different areas: statistics, unsupervised, and supervised learning.

This unique book presents mathematical competition problems primarily aimed at upper elementary school students, but are challenging for students at any age.
