The Go-To Reference for Acquisition of Neurosurgical Operative KnowledgeTraditional learning methods and static didactics are no longer sufficient in an era of rapidly advancing surgical tools and increasingly complex operative approaches. Operative Fundamentals in Neurological Surgery edited by Nitin Agarwal, Hanna N. Algattas, Edward G. Andrews, Kamil W. Nowicki, and Xiaoran Zhang fills a gap in the literature. The book provides a unique compilation of n...

YinYang bipolar relativity can trace its philosophical origins to ancient Chinese YinYang cosmology, which claims that everything has two sides or two opposite, but reciprocal, poles or energies. More specifically, this discipline is intended to be a logical unification of general relativity and quantum mechanics. YinYang Bipolar Relativity: A Unifying Theory of Nature, Agents and Causality with Applications in Quantum Computing, Cognitive Informatics and Life Sciences presents real-world ...

As Large Language Models increasingly shape professional discourse—legal proceedings, cross-border documentation, and professional education—questions of linguistic equity and algorithmic accountability become urgent. The book develops a computational framework for evaluating fairness in AI-mediated institutional communication.The book introduces a transformer-based benchmarking architecture designed to measure communicative competence and fairness across multilingual institutional...

Tackle the most challenging problems in science and engineering with these cutting-edge algorithmsMulti-objective optimization problems (MOPs) are those in which more than one objective needs to be optimized simultaneously. As a ubiquitous component of research and engineering projects, these problems are notoriously challenging. In recent years, evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have shown significant promise in their ability to solve MOPs, but challenges remain at th...

This book examines recent research on designing online charging and discharging strategies for mobile electric vehicles (EVs) in smart grid. First, the architecture and applications are provided. Then, the authors review the existing works on charging and discharging strategy design for EVs. Critical challenges and research problems are identified. Promising solutions are proposed to accommodate the issues of high EV mobility, vehicle range anxiety, and power systems overload.The a...
