Описание: This book takes a fresh look at the problem of unconstrained handwriting recognition and introduces the reader to new techniques for the recognition of written words and characters using statistical and soft computing approaches. The types of uncertainties and variations present in handwriting data are discussed in detail. The book presents several algorithms that use modified hidden Markov models and Markov random field models to simulate the handwriting data statistically and structurally in a single framework. The book explores methods that use fuzzy logic and fuzzy sets for handwriting recognition. The effectiveness of these techniques is demonstrated through extensive experimental results and real handwritten characters and words.

Описание: Highlights trends in the nature of humanitarian crises, their causes and drivers, and the actors that participate in crises prevention, response and recovery. Beyond providing statistics, the report uses infographics to display trend analyses that show how the humanitarian landscape is evolving and how the humanitarian system can be more effective.
Описание: This publication evaluates FAO’s energy-in-emergency portfolio in Kenya, South Sudan and Uganda to define innovative programming options for efficient energy access within the humanitarian settings of these three countries. Under the Safe Access to Fuel and Energy (SAFE) programme, FAO has contributed to improving resilience and livelihoods for refugees and internally displaced people in 14 countries through four types of activities: clean cooking, forest management, renewable energy in agri-food chains and policy support.
In these countries, most refugees and displaced persons rely on energy resources – in particular, energy for cooking – that are unsustainable and that pose high risks to their health and well-being. Many households are dependent on firewood collected from areas around the settlements to supplement the fuel that they receive from humanitarian agencies or purchase through markets. Intense demand for this natural resource has led to the degradation of forests and to conflicts with host communities.
The report provides recommendations for improving the efficiency of access to energy. These include developing a market ecosystem to support the delivery of energy services and prioritizing the preservation of the environment, which is critical to create a sustainable natural resource base and biomass that will ensure long-term, efficient and quality cooking fuel.
Описание: Data science revolves around two giants, which are big data analytics and deep learning. It is becoming challenging to handle and retrieve useful information due to how fast data is expanding. This book presents the technologies and tools to simplify and streamline the formation of big data along with deep learning systems.

Описание: The aim of this book is to document for the first time the dimensions and requirements of effective integrated groundwater management (IGM). effective IGM must also engage the wider community of stakeholders to develop and support policy and other socioeconomic tools needed to realize effective IGM.
Описание: This book addresses the implications of the Industry 4.0 paradigm in design for the environment. We examine the opportunities for, and challenges of, the implications of cyber-physical systems, big data analytics, Internet of things, additive manufacturing, and simulation in a range of areas in an eco-design context. These include selecting low impact materials, choosing manufacturing processes with environmental considerations, end of life strategies, applying design approaches for disassembly, integrating economic and social components into environmental studies, and stakeholder’s involvement. This volume takes a step toward this journey to explore how the three pillars of technology, sustainability, and evolving consumers could shape the future of the product’s design.

Описание:
This book explores how humanitarian interventions for children in difficult circumstances engage in affective commodification of disadvantaged childhoods. The chapters consider how transnational charitable industries are created and mobilized around childhood need—highlighting children in situations of war and poverty, and with indeterminate access to health and education—to redirect global resource flows and sentiments in order to address concerns of child suffering. The authors discuss examples from around the world to show how, as much as these processes can help achieve the goals of aid organizations, such practices can also perpetuate the conditions that organizations seek to alleviate and thereby endanger the very children they intend to help.
This book examines how human behavior is shaped by our aspirations, emotions, thoughts and sensations, and conversely, how the experiences that result from our behavior impact ourselves, others and the planet. Based on an analysis of the constant interplay between these four layers, it offers practical solutions to systematically induce sustainable social change dynamics. It shows why change, in addition to economic and political transformation at the macro level, begins with mind-shifts at the micro level. Hereby it establishes the missing link between investments in personal empowerment and collective welfare. A novel theoretical paradigm is the foundation of this book, which is anchored in the perspective of an ongoing 'body-mind-heart-soul connection.' Based on the premise that an equitable society is to the benefit of everyone, it is argued that efforts made for others have benefits at three levels - for the individual who acts, the one who has been acted for and for society.
