Computer Vision Systems

Interoperability in IoT for Smart Systems discusses the different facets of interoperability issues among the IoT devices and their solutions, the scalability issues in an IoT network, and provides solutions for plug-n-play of new devices with the existing IoT system. It also addresses the possible usage of interoperable and plug-n-play IoT networks in different systems to make them smarter. Aimed at researchers and graduate students in computer science, computer engineering, computer networks, electronics engineering, this bookExclusively covers interoperability of IoT systems in parallel with their use towards the development of smart systems Discusses the requirements of interoperability in smart IoT systems and their solutions Reviews IoT applications in different smart and intelligent systems Explores dealing with interoperability of heterogeneous participating devices Provides different case studies and open problems related to interoperability in IoT systems

Expanding on the highly successful previous two editions, this third edition of Proton Therapy Physics has been updated throughout and includes several new chapters on “Adaptive Proton Therapy,” "Imaging for Planning,” “Flash Proton Therapy,” and “Outcome Modeling for Patient Selection.” Suitable for both newcomers in medical physics and more seasoned specialists in radiation oncology, this book provides an in-depth overview of the physics of this radiation therapy modality, eliminating the need to dig through information scattered across medical physics literature. After tracing the history of proton therapy, this book explores the atomic and nuclear physics background necessary for understanding proton interactions with tissue. The text then covers dosimetry, including beam delivery, shielding aspects, computer simulations, detector systems, and measuring techniques for reference dosimetry.Important for daily operations, acceptance testing, commissioning, quality assurance, and monit

Drawing on the Homeric epics, this multidisciplinary work reveals the cultural transformations which need to take place in order to transition from today's modern extractive agricultural system to a sustainable natural-systems agriculture. In order to provide an imaginative foundation on which to build such a cultural transformation, the author draws on the oldest and most pervasive pair of literary works in the Western canon: the Iliad and the Odyssey. He uses themes from those foundational literary works to critique the concept of state sovereignty and to explain how innovative federalism structures around the world already show momentum building toward changes in global environmental governance.The book proposes a dramatic expansion on those innovations, to create eco-states responsible for agroecological management. Drawing from many years of experience in international institutions, the author proposes a system of coordination by which an international agroecology-focused organiza
