This book is a comprehensive treatise on infective and inflammatory pathologies of the cornea with corresponding clinical images and diagrammatic illustrations. Corneal infections and inflammations are a major cause of ocular morbidity and visual impairment. Early diagnosis and treatment can lead to improved visual outcome and quality of life.Both infectious (bacterial, fungal, viral and protozoan) and non-infectious keratitis that cause corneal vascularisation, scarring and vision loss are covered extensively. The illustrated clinical findings presented in the form of diagrams, photographs, cases and videos aim to serve as a practical teaching tool for fellows, trainees and practising ophthalmologists. KEY FEATURESFocuses on clinically relevant parts of corneal diseases, using illustrations with arrows indicating different pathologies and signsServes as a ready clinical compendium for trainees, fellows and ophthalmologistsExplores various corneal pathologies through a wealth of accomp

The Web of Things (WoT) is a concept that describes approaches, programming tools and software architectural systems, which interface networks of real-world objects with the World Wide Web. The book is organized into 11 chapters, each focusing on a unique wireless technological aspect of the Web of Things, and it aims to comprehensively cover each of its various applications, including:A strong emphasis on WoT problems and solutions, identifying the main open issues, innovations and latest technologies behind WoTA blend of theoretical and simulation-based problems for better understanding of the concepts behind WoTVarious exemplifying applications in which the use of WoT is very attractive and an inspiration for future applicationsThe book will be useful to researchers, software developers and undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as practitioners.
