  • Fuzzy Mathematics, Graphs, and Similarity Measures

    Analysis and Application Across Global Challenges
    • 1st Edition
    • John Mordeson + 1 more
    • English
    Fuzzy Mathematics, Graphs, and Similarity Measures provides a solid foundation in core analytical tracks of mathematics of uncertainty, from fuzzy mathematics to graphs and similarity measures with applications in a range of timely cases studies and world challenges. Following a full grounding in fuzzy graph indices, connectivity in fuzzy graph structures, lattice isomorphisms, and similarity measures, the book applies these models in analyzing world challenges, from human trafficking to modern slavery, global poverty, global hunger, homelessness, biodiversity, extinction, terrorism and bioterrorism, pandemics, and climate change.Connections and constructive steps forward are tied throughout to UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The authors demonstrate and instruct readers in applying techniques from mathematics of uncertainty in examining issues where accurate data is impossible to obtain. In addition to a diverse range of cases studies, exercises reinforce key concepts in each chapter, and an online instructor’s manual supports teaching across a range of course contexts.

  • Machine Learning for Low-Latency Communications

    • 1st Edition
    • Yong Zhou + 4 more
    • English
    Machine Learning for Low-Latency Communications presents the principles and practice of various deep learning methodologies for mitigating three critical latency components: access latency, transmission latency, and processing latency. In particular, the book develops learning to estimate methods via algorithm unrolling and multiarmed bandit for reducing access latency by enlarging the number of concurrent transmissions with the same pilot length. Task-oriented learning to compress methods based on information bottleneck are given to reduce the transmission latency via avoiding unnecessary data transmission.Lastly, three learning to optimize methods for processing latency reduction are given which leverage graph neural networks, multi-agent reinforcement learning, and domain knowledge. Low-latency communications attracts considerable attention from both academia and industry, given its potential to support various emerging applications such as industry automation, autonomous vehicles, augmented reality and telesurgery. Despite the great promise, achieving low-latency communications is critically challenging. Supporting massive connectivity incurs long access latency, while transmitting high-volume data leads to substantial transmission latency.

  • Diseases of Bivalves

    Historical and Current Perspectives
    • 1st Edition
    • Roxanna Smolowitz
    • English
    Diseases of Bivalves: Historical and Current Perspectives is a novel reference covering all known diseases of cultured and fished bivalve mollusks from around the world. Written by a renowned expert in the field of shellfish, the author presents a historical perspective of disease discovery, explaining when and where each disease first occurred and identified to current research findings. This reference describes the infectious agent that causes each disease and environmental conditions that promote infection symptoms and signs of the disease in the host, both as noted in individual animals and in the affected populations, and resultant morbidity and mortality of infected populations. The book offers past and current possible prevention and management methods to control disease in current and projected geographical locations. This is a complete resource for aquatic and veterinary pathologists, aquaculturists, government regulators, disease specialists and researchers, bivalve researchers, and students alike. Diseases include Metazoan Disease, Viral diseases, Fungal Disease, and more.
