Compressive Sensing of Earth Observations

Compressive Sensing of Earth Observations

Future remote sensing systems will make extensive use of Compressive Sensing (CS) as it becomes more integrated into the system design with increased high resolution sensor developments and the rising earth observation data generated each year. Written by leading experts in the field Compressive Sensing of Earth Observations provides a comprehensive and balanced coverage of the theory and applications of CS in all aspects of earth observations. This work covers a myriad of practical aspects such as the use of CS in detection of human vital signs in a cluttered environment and the corresponding modeling of rib-cage breathing. Readers are also presented with three different applications of CS to the ISAR imaging problem which includes image reconstruction from compressed data resolution enhancement and image reconstruction from incomplete data.

The Charnoly Body A Novel Biomarker of Mitochondrial Bioenergetics

The Charnoly Body A Novel Biomarker of Mitochondrial Bioenergetics

Diversified physicochemical injuries trigger Charnoly body (CB) formation as pleomorphic electron-dense multi-lamellar stacks of nonfunctional mitochondrial membranes in the most vulnerable cell. Free radicals induce downregulation of mitochondrial DNA microRNA AgNOR and epigenetics to trigger CB molecular pathogenesis. CB is eliminated by energy (ATP)-driven lysosome-dependent charnolophagy as a basic molecular mechanism of intracellular detoxification to prevent acute and chronic diseases. Accumulation of CB at the junction of axon hillock and charnolosome (CS) at the synapses causes cognitive impairments; whereas nonspecific induction of CB causes GIT stress myelosuppression alopecia neurotoxicity cardiotoxicity and infertility in multidrug-resistant malignancies. Hence stem cell-specific CB charnolophagy and CS agonists/antagonists are introduced as novel charnolopharmacotherapeutics for the successful treatment of cardiovascular diseases neurodegenerative diseases infectious diseases drug addiction and cancer. Nanoparticles to improve drug delivery CS exocytosis and disease-specific spatiotemporal charnolosomics employing correlative and combinatorial bioinformatics boost mitochondrial bioenergetics through balanced diet exercise and antioxidants. The book will be of interest to medical scientists and practitioners. | The Charnoly Body A Novel Biomarker of Mitochondrial Bioenergetics

Matrix Inequalities for Iterative Systems

Matrix Inequalities for Iterative Systems

The book reviews inequalities for weighted entry sums of matrix powers. Applications range from mathematics and CS to pure sciences. It unifies and generalizes several results for products and powers of sesquilinear forms derived from powers of Hermitian positive-semidefinite as well as nonnegative matrices. It shows that some inequalities are valid only in specific cases. How to translate the Hermitian matrix results into results for alternating powers of general rectangular matrices? Inequalities that compare the powers of the row and column sums to the row and column sums of the matrix powers are refined for nonnegative matrices. Lastly eigenvalue bounds and derive results for iterated kernels are improved. | Matrix Inequalities for Iterative Systems

Computer Architecture Fundamentals and Principles of Computer Design Second Edition

Computer Architecture Fundamentals and Principles of Computer Design Second Edition

Not only does almost everyone in the civilized world use a personal computer smartphone and/or tablet on a daily basis to communicate with others and access information but virtually every other modern appliance vehicle or other device has one or more computers embedded inside it. One cannot purchase a current-model automobile for example without several computers on board to do everything from monitoring exhaust emissions to operating the anti-lock brakes to telling the transmission when to shift and so on. Appliances such as clothes washers and dryers microwave ovens refrigerators etc. are almost all digitally controlled. Gaming consoles like Xbox PlayStation and Wii are powerful computer systems with enhanced capabilities for user interaction. Computers are everywhere even when we don’t see them as such and it is more important than ever for students who will soon enter the workforce to understand how they work. This book is completely updated and revised for a one-semester upper level undergraduate course in Computer Architecture and suitable for use in an undergraduate CS EE or CE curriculum at the junior or senior level. Students should have had a course(s) covering introductory topics in digital logic and computer organization. While this is not a text for a programming course the reader should be familiar with computer programming concepts in at least one language such as C C++ or Java. Previous courses in operating systems assembly language and/or systems programming would be helpful but are not essential. | Computer Architecture Fundamentals and Principles of Computer Design Second Edition

The Cybersecurity Body of Knowledge The ACM/IEEE/AIS/IFIP Recommendations for a Complete Curriculum in Cybersecurity

The Cybersecurity Body of Knowledge The ACM/IEEE/AIS/IFIP Recommendations for a Complete Curriculum in Cybersecurity

The Cybersecurity Body of Knowledge explains the content purpose and use of eight knowledge areas that define the boundaries of the discipline of cybersecurity. The discussion focuses on and is driven by the essential concepts of each knowledge area that collectively capture the cybersecurity body of knowledge to provide a complete picture of the field. This book is based on a brand-new and up to this point unique global initiative known as CSEC2017 which was created and endorsed by ACM IEEE-CS AIS SIGSEC and IFIP WG 11. 8. This has practical relevance to every educator in the discipline of cybersecurity. Because the specifics of this body of knowledge cannot be imparted in a single text the authors provide the necessary comprehensive overview. In essence this is the entry-level survey of the comprehensive field of cybersecurity. It will serve as the roadmap for individuals to later drill down into a specific area of interest. This presentation is also explicitly designed to aid faculty members administrators CISOs policy makers and stakeholders involved with cybersecurity workforce development initiatives. The book is oriented toward practical application of a computing-based foundation crosscutting concepts and essential knowledge and skills of the cybersecurity discipline to meet workforce demands.
