Living Knowledge in West African Islam examines the actualization of religious identity in the Muslim community of Ibrahim Niasse (d. 1975, Senegal). The realization of Islam was achieved through the
Poetry. "The noblest aim of FIGURES FOR A FAMILY PORTRAIT may be to gather all the poet's knowledge, experience, and mystical realization into single, singular expression. Steve Lautermilch's world is
The book presents a compilation of research on meso/microforming processes, and offers systematic and holistic knowledge for the physical realization of developed processes. It discusses practical app
When she joins a pair of hitchhikers on a trip to California, a young Midwestern woman embarks on a journey about memory and knowledge, beauty and realization. This true story, set in 1971, recounts a
Recent attempts to challenge the primacy of reason--and its realization in foundationalist accounts of knowledge and cognitive formulations of human action--have focused on processes of discourse. Dra
One of the major discoveries of the last two decades of the twentieth century in algebraic geometry is the realization that the theory of minimal models of surfaces can be generalized to higher dimensional varieties. This generalization, called the minimal model program or Mori's program, has developed into a powerful tool with applications to diverse questions in algebraic geometry and beyond. This book provides the a comprehensive introduction to the circle of ideas developed around the program, the prerequisites being only a basic knowledge of algebraic geometry. It will be of great interest to graduate students and researchers working in algebraic geometry and related fields.
The general exception clauses of the TRIPS Agreement of the World Trade Organization permit exceptions to copyrights and to the rights conferred by trademarks, industrial designs and patents. These clauses are intended to facilitate access to diverse forms of proprietary knowledge and therefore foster the interdependent pillars of sustainable development: economic progress, realization of human rights and the conservation of the environment. In this book, Edson Beas Rodrigues, Jr argues that the TRIPS Agreement, in its current configuration, does not hinder the establishment of exceptions to intellectual property rights, devised to promote vital socioeconomic interests such as the freedom to carry out creative and inventive activities, freedom of expression, the strengthening of free competition, and increased access to educational materials by underprivileged students and to technical knowledge for humanitarian purposes.

This book explains how to build Natural Language Generation (NLG) systems - computer software systems which use techniques from artificial intelligence and computational linguistics to automatically generate understandable texts in English or other human languages, either in isolation or as part of multimedia documents, Web pages, and speech output systems. Typically starting from some non-linguistic representation of information as input, NLG systems use knowledge about language and the application domain to automatically produce documents, reports, explanations, help messages, and other kinds of texts. The book covers the algorithms and representations needed to perform the core tasks of document planning, microplanning, and surface realization, using a case study to show how these components fit together. It also discusses engineering issues such as system architecture, requirements analysis, and the integration of text generation into multimedia and speech output systems.
Considering the overall situation of the current pandemic and pertinent recommendations, this book focuses on the use of Augmented Reality (AR) applications for COVID-19 outbreak along with techniques, tools and platforms to achieve social distancing and sanitization. It contains theoretical and practical knowledge of AR and remedies on how to cope with the technology including multiple use cases along with a set of recommendations. It illustrates application building using open source softwares with an interactive interface to aid the impaired users. The initial part of the book emphasizes on the basic knowledge of AR, technology, devices and rest of the relevant theories. Aimed at Researchers, students in augmented reality, technical healthcare professionals, practitioners, this book: Focusses on realization and visualization of Covid-19 pandemic using Augmented Reality (AR).Discusses how different AR Visualization techniques is implemented in different scenarios.Provides in-depth kn
