Advanced Driver Intention Inference: Theory and Design describes one of the most important function for future ADAS, namely, the driver intention inference. The book contains the state-of-art knowledge on the construction of driver intention inference system, providing a better understanding on how the human driver intention mechanism will contribute to a more naturalistic on-board decision system for automated vehicles. - Features examples of using machine learning/deep learning to build ...

Filling the urgent need for a professional book that specifies the applications of nanoelectrochemistry for the monitoring of persistent toxic substances, this monograph clearly describes the design concept, construction strategies and practical applications of PTS sensing interfaces based on nanoelectrochemical methods. The comprehensive and systematic information not only provides readers with the fundamentals, but also inspires them to develop PTS monitoring sensors based on functional ...

He was the super Soldier King of China, a nightmare that caused all the powers of the various countries to fear him. The tragic death of his comrade-in-arms had allowed him to return to the city, transforming into the bodyguard of his comrade-in-arms, investigating the cause of his comrade-in-arms' death. At this point, a legend began. The atmosphere of the city was all because of him!

With its technical limitations, modern basketball has developed radically to a physical game. A revolution of basketball fundamental skills is needed, and now it is feasible with a break-through techniqueThree-Finger Zen, Universal Ball-Handling Mechanism. In 2010, after five-year dedicated research and praxis, Xiaoxing Chen discovered Three- Finger-Zen (3fz), a nature mechanism of human hand and arm for handling the basketball. It benefits every participant of the sport, and has technical...

The world seems to have recently discovered India and China as major players in Asia, and political and economic connections between the two countries are rapidly growing. Beyond the fashionable phenomenon, the two countries have much in common and many shared experiences. Both are developing countries with dynamic economies focused on lifting their people out of poverty. There are also differences as well, as India is a democracy while China is an autocratic state, and the speed of econom...

This book delves into the complex and evolving field of agile Earth observation satellite technology and its scheduling challenges. With the capability for large-angle maneuvering, stereo and continuous area imaging, these satellites significantly expand observational capabilities. However, the rapid enhancement of these satellites, paired with increasing observational demands, has made agile satellite scheduling an NP-hard problem. Research into collaborative scheduling for agile satellit...

Drylands, a home for nearly 2.5 billion people, are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic climate change, and dryland area may expand to 50% of the Earth's surface by 2100. Climate change may aggravate the prevalence of undernutrition and malnutrition because of adverse effects on quantity and quality of food production in these regions. This book takes a holistic approach to sustainable management of drylands to make agriculture drought-resilient. Eminent scientists from around the world sha...
