      Advances and Technology Development in Greenhouse Gases: Emission, Capture and Conversion is a comprehensive series that discusses the composition and properties of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and introduces different sources of GHG emission and the relation between GHG and global warming. The comprehensive and detailed presentation of common technologies as well as novel research related to all aspects of GHG makes this work an indispensable encyclopedic resource for researchers in academia and industry. Greenhouse Gases Formation and Challenges primarily introduces the definition of GHGs, as well as their characteristics and properties. This book presents measuring methods for the detection of GHGs and connects GHG emissions with global warming and climate change. This book touches on all aspects concerning the classification of GHGs with their types and features and how they are detected, followed by discussions addressing the connection between GHGs and climate change in different sectors.

      Gesture Recognition: Theory and Applications covers this important topic in computer science and language technology that has a goal of interpreting human gestures via mathematical algorithms. The book begins by examining the computer vision-based gesture recognition method, focusing on the theory and related research results of various recent gesture recognition technologies. The book takes the evolutions of gesture recognition technology as a clue, systematically introducing gesture recognition methods based on handcrafted features, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, multimodal data fusion, and visual attention mechanisms.Three gesture recognition-based HCI (Human Computer Interaction) practical cases are introduced. Finally, the book looks at emerging research trends and application.

      Genetics and Evolution of Infectious Diseases, Third Edition discusses the evolving field of infectious diseases and their continued impact on the health of populations, especially in resource-limited areas of the world where they must confront the dual burden of death and disability due to infectious and chronic illnesses. Although substantial gains have been made in public health interventions for the treatment, prevention, and control of infectious diseases, in recent decades the world has witnessed the emergence of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing antimicrobial resistance, and the emergence of many new bacterial, fungal, parasitic, and viral pathogens.Fully updated and revised, this new edition presents the consequences of such diseases, the evolution of infectious diseases, the genetics of host-pathogen relationship, and the control and prevention strategies that are, or can be, developed. This book offers valuable information to biomedical researchers, clinicians, public health practitioners, decisions-makers, and students and postgraduates studying infectious diseases, microbiology, medicine, and public health that is relevant to the control and prevention of neglected and emerging worldwide diseases.
