Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Understanding Molecular Simulation explains molecular simulation from a chemical-physics and statistical-mechanics perspective. It highlights how physical concepts are used to develop better algorithms and expand the range of applicability of simulations. Understanding Molecular Simulation is equally relevant for those who develop new code and those who use existing packages. Both groups are continuously confronted with the question of which computational technique best suits a given application. Understanding Molecular Simulation provides readers with the foundational knowledge they need to learn about, select and apply the most appropriate of these tools to their own work. The implementation of simulation methods is illustrated in pseudocodes, and their practical use is shown via case studies presented throughout the text.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Principles of Soil and Plant Water Relations, Third Edition describes the fundamental principles of soil and water relationships in relation to water storage in soil and water uptake by plants. The book explains why it is important to know about soil-plant-water relations, with subsequent chapters providing the definition of all physical units and the SI system and dealing with the structure of water and its special properties. Final sections explain the structure of plants and the mechanisms behind their interrelationships, especially the mechanism of water uptake and water flow within plants and how to assess parameters.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Computational Intelligence Applications for Text and Sentiment Data Analysis explores the most recent advances in text information processing and data analysis technologies, specifically focusing on sentiment analysis from multifaceted data. The book investigates a wide range of challenges involved in the accurate analysis of online sentiments, including how to i) identify subjective information from text, i.e., exclusion of 'neutral' or 'factual' comments that do not carry sentiment information, ii) identify sentiment polarity, and iii) domain dependency. Spam and fake news detection, short abbreviation, sarcasm, word negation, and a lot of word ambiguity are also explored.Further chapters look at the difficult process of extracting sentiment from different multimodal information (audio, video and text), semantic concepts. In each chapter, the book's authors explore how computational intelligence (CI) techniques, such as deep learning, convolutional neural network, fuzzy and rough set, global optimizers, and hybrid machine learning techniques play an important role in solving the inherent problems of sentiment analysis applications.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Veterinary Psychiatry of Cats introduces veterinary behavioral medicine and veterinary psychiatry using the domestic cat as its model. This book combines the most up-to-date understanding of biology of this beloved, revered and often maligned species with learnings from the fields of normal and abnormal psychology. Written by a leading expert in feline behavior, this book begins by assessing 'normal factors of feline behavior, from neuroanatomy, neuroendocrinology, cognitive and social abilities. Delving into psychiatry, it then discusses mental health disorders, hindered development, and trauma. Psychopharmacology, including medications and supplements, are also explained. The Veterinary Psychiatry of Cats finishes with a comprehensive view of feline welfare management, how to treat cats humanely and how to house them responsibly given their behaviors. This is an ideal resource for feline behavioral specialists, veterinarians and domestic animal researchers and practitioners, including veterinary technicians, students and even feline owners.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Nuclear Decommissioning Case Studies: Characterization, Waste Management, Reuse and Recycle-A Summary of the Sustainability of Nuclear Decommissioning is the sixth and last volume in Michele Laraia's series which presents a selection of global case studies on different aspects of nuclear decommissioning. This volume focuses on strategies addressing the full range of waste management steps in nuclear decommissioning, including characterization, technologies (decontamination, treatment, conditioning, etc.), and reuse/recycling options. The book presents best practices by analyzing errors and inadequacies, leading the reader to sound decision-making. Volume 6 also includes the author's conclusive judgment on the overall sustainability of nuclear decommissioning. This volume recaps all components and issues of decommissioning reviewed in this and the first five volumes taking account of the holistic approach to decommissioning sustainability. Similar to all volumes, decommissioning experts, including regulators, operators, waste managers, researchers, and academics, will find this sixth and final volume suitable to provide a path forward to ensuring full sustainability to the decommissioning industry.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Postharvest Management of Fresh Produce: Recent Advances critically addresses the latest issues, challenges, and technological advancements in postharvest management of fresh commodities, especially fruits, nuts, and vegetables. The book covers the intriguing correlation of preharvest treatments, maturity indices and postharvest operations that significantly affect the postharvest quality of fresh produce. Further topics include packaging, logistics and storage technologies, the role of microbial communities, and 'omics' strategies in postharvest disease management. Special attention is given to the latest trends of nanotechnology, internet of things (IoTs), and blockchain technologies in food supply chain management of perishable products. The book is a great resource for young and experienced professionals in academia, industry, and UG/PG students to explore a diversified range of topics in postharvest strategies relevant to food processing, food technologies, agro-processing and quality control.
