This book introduces to the reader an analytical procedure to characterize the organic-rich Indian Gondwana shale in terms of its elastic, petrophysical, geochemical, and microstructural properties using state-of-the-art laboratory measurements and accounting for the elastic anisotropy, pore microstructure along with rock physics models, image segmentation techniques, and pore network models. As compared to sandstone, shale possesses a more complex origin, strong heterogeneity, and is anis...

This book explores a pioneering exploration of how deep generative models, including generative adversarial networks (GANs) and variational autoencoders (VAEs), renovating early neurological disorder detection. This book is a bridge between computational neuroscience and clinical neurology gaps, providing novel AI-driven methodologies for diagnosing conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, epilepsy, and neurodevelopmental disorders. With a strong focus on neuroimaging, genomic data ana...

This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the climate resilience and molecular adaptation of alpine medicinal flora, integrating insights from ecophysiology, metabolomics, and plantomics. It delves into how these high-altitude plants survive and thrive in extreme environments, offering valuable knowledge on their adaptation mechanisms at physiological, cellular, and genetic levels.The book covers a wide range of topics, beginning with an introduction to alpine medicinal flo...

Over the last two decades the field of Intelligent Systems delivered to human kind significant achievements, while also facing major transformations. 20 years ago, automation and knowledge-based AI were still the dominant paradigms fueling the efforts of both researchers and practitioners. Later, 10 years ago, statistical machine intelligence was on the rise, heavily supported by the digital computing, and led to the unprecedented advances in and dependence on digital technology. However, ...

This book presents selected articles from the workshop on "Challenges in Petrophysical Evaluation and Rock Physics Modeling of Carbonate Reservoirs" held at IIT Bombay in November 2017. The articles included explore the challenges associated with using well-log data, core data analysis, and their integration in the qualitative and quantitative assessment of petrophysical and elastic properties in carbonate reservoirs. The book also discusses the recent trends and advances in the area of re...
