This book focuses on the emerging topic of embedded artificial intelligence and provides a systematic summary of its principles, platforms, and practices. In the section on principles, it analyzes three main approaches for implementing embedded artificial intelligence: cloud computing mode, local mode, and local-cloud collaborative mode. The book identifies five essential components for implementing embedded artificial intelligence: embedded AI accelerator chips, lightweight neural network...

Spatial Autocorrelation: A Fundamental Property of Geospatial Phenomena offers a state-of-the-art exploration of one of the most pivotal spatial analysis concepts. Beginning with foundational theories and clear definitions, it sets out the concepts and basic theory of spatial autocorrelation through elaborated conceptualizations and practical examples. In-depth case studies reveal the pervasive influence of spatial patterns in scientific inquiry while anticipating emerging research and inn...

Unlocking the Secrets of the Soil: Applying AI and Sensor Technologies for Sustainable Land Use is a comprehensive guide to the latest advances in soil characterization. This book explores the role of sensors and artificial intelligence in improving soil management practices and supporting sustainable land use. Through detailed descriptions of sensor and AI-based techniques for measuring physical, chemical, and biological soil properties, readers will gain a deep understanding of the tools...

This book constitutes the proceedings of the second International Workshop on Mechanism Design in Social Networks, MNet 2025, held in conjunction with IJCAI 2025, in Montreal, Canada, during August 16–22, 2025.The 5 full papers included in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 11 submissions. They provide a cross-disciplinary study and communication on the research of mechanism design and social networks..

This is a follow up of the authors' previous book entitled "Bioactive materials for bone regeneration. Generally speaking, human tissue can be classified as hard tissue such as bone and soft tissue such as skin, mussel, tendon, blood vessel, nerve etc. and including important organs such as heart, liver, lung. Regenerative medicine is dealing with both hard tissue and soft tissue regeneration and is one of the most important part of the modern medicine with significant clinical needs inclu...

Referencing more than 40 ancient works as well as 70 books and papers of contemporary scholars, this book opens up the civilization, society, culture and communication of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang period represented unprecedented prosperity in the ancient world. Combining the socio-cultural background of ancient China and academic achievements of modern times, this book presents an intensive and in-depth exploration of the communicative organisations, methods and ideas of that period. The...

Third-variable effect refers to the effect transmitted by third-variables that intervene in the relationship between an exposure and a response variable. Differentiating between the indirect effect of individual factors from multiple third-variables is a constant problem for modern researchers.Statistical Methods for Mediation, Confounding and Moderation Analysis Using R and SAS introduces general definitions of third-variable effects that are adaptable to...

This book is a collection of seminal position essays by leading researchers on new development in Geographic Information Sciences (GIScience), covering a wide range of topics and representing a variety of perspectives. The authors propose enrichments and extensions to the conceptual framework of GIScience; discuss a series of transformational methodologies and technologies for analysis and modeling; elaborate on key issues in innovative approaches to data acquisition and integration, acros...

This book summarizes the current knowledge of anthocyanins, provides systematic information for future exploration of anthocyanin applications. It focuses on several aspects regarding the studying progression in the field of anthocyanins.

This book discusses key techniques of protection and fault ride-through in VSC-HVDC grids, including high-speed selective protection, DC fault current limitation, converter restarting, and DCCB reclosing strategies. It investigates how high-speed transient-variable-based protection can be used to improve grids’ acting sensitivity, acting reliability, and ability to withstand high transition resistance compared with traditional protection. In addition, it discusses the applicability of the ...
