Structural Behavior of Asphalt Pavements
Structural Behavior of Asphalt Pavements provides engineers and researchers with a detailed guide to the structural behavioral dynamics of asphalt pavement including: pavement temperature distribution, mechanistic response of pavement structure under the application of heavy vehicles, distress mechanism of pavement, and pavement deterioration performance and dynamic equations. An authoritative guide for understanding the key mechanisms for creating longer lasting pavements, Structural Behavior of Asphalt Pavements describes the intrinsic consistency between macroscopic performance and microscopic response, structure and material, as well as global and local performances, and demonstrates the...
Radiology of Hepatobiliary Diseases
Devoting to diseases of the liver, biliary system and gallbladder, this book covers typical and atypical imaging of infectious conditions, metabolic disorders, vascular diseases, benign and malignant tumors comprehensively. Radiology of liver transplantation, evaluation of hepatobiliary diseases after interventional therapy, and liver and gallbladder diseases in children are also addressed. With carefully selected cases and concise diagnostic tips, this book will help reader quickly and easily to reach an accurate diagnosis of different types of hepatobiliary diseases. It will be useful as a diagnostic reference for practicing radiologists and hepatobiliary surgeons.
Towards an Expansion of Sustainable Global Marine Aquaculture
There is a need for more food for humans as the global human population on and their buying power continue to increase the decades to come. Aquaculture in the sea delivers nutritious, protein and essential lipid rich food and is believed to be a promising means for increasing global food production. Further expansion of marine aquaculture requires new feed resources, an increasing challenge acknowledged by science and feed manufacturing industry. Most cultured fishes are from nature carnivore animals with high nutritional requirements. A viable road map for further expansion of mariculture to support human food production can be to focus more on non-fed aquaculture while still maintaining ef...
Belief Functions: Theory and Applications
The theory of belief functions, also known as evidence theory or Dempster-Shafer theory, was first introduced by Arthur P. Dempster in the context of statistical inference, and was later developed by Glenn Shafer as a general framework for modeling epistemic uncertainty. These early contributions have been the starting points of many important developments, including the Transferable Belief Model and the Theory of Hints. The theory of belief functions is now well established as a general framework for reasoning with uncertainty, and has well understood connections to other frameworks such as probability, possibility and imprecise probability theories. This volume contains the proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Belief Functions that was held in Compiègne, France on 9-11 May 2012. It gathers 51 contributions describing recent developments both on theoretical issues (including approximation methods, combination rules, continuous belief functions, graphical models and independence concepts) and applications in various areas including classification, image processing, statistics and intelligent vehicles.
International Conference on Intelligent Computing: Intelligent computing
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Intelligent Computing, ICIC 2006, held in Kunming, China, August 2006. The book collects 161 carefully chosen and revised full papers. Topical sections include neural networks, evolutionary computing and genetic algorithms, kernel methods, combinatorial and numerical optimization, multiobjective evolutionary algorithms, neural optimization and dynamic programming, as well as case-based reasoning and probabilistic reasoning.
Savage Exchange
Savage Exchange explores the politics of representation during the Han dynasty (206 BCE–220 CE) at a pivotal moment when China was asserting imperialist power on the Eurasian continent and expanding its local and long-distance (“Silk Road”) markets. Tamara T. Chin explains why rival political groups introduced new literary forms with which to represent these expanded markets. To promote a radically quantitative approach to the market, some thinkers developed innovative forms of fiction and genre. In opposition, traditionalists reasserted the authority of classical texts and advocated a return to the historical, ethics-centered, marriage-based, agricultural economy that these texts desc...
