This book discusses traffic information estimation methods using cellular network data for Intelligent Transportation Systems. It proposes three key methods: Handover (HO)-based, Fingerprint Positioning Algorithm (FPA)-based, and Cell Probe (CP)-based.
Digital Platformization and Effects on Corporate Branding
This book reflects on digital platforms, their added value for sustainability through corporate branding, and the challenge of assessing performance in the sports, cultural, and creative sectors as platform-based models become embedded in everyday life.
Third-Party Risk Policies in the Netherlands
Keeping people safe in the densely populated Netherlands means balancing public health against the profits of industries creating hazardous risks. This book explores this balancing act, offering valuable insight into how sustainable policy can be achieved for all.
This book proposes a new way to measure housing unaffordability from a resident’s point of view: the mismatch between where one can afford to live and where they would prefer to live. Written for all, it helps residents, academics, and practitioners make wiser decisions.
At last, a clear path through quantum mechanics. This book intuitively unravels entanglement and wave-particle duality, revealing a profound truth: the objectivity of reality is not a simple yes-or-no question.
This historical account traces the discovery of a singular wave in 1834 to the development of modern soliton theory. It describes deep connections between soliton theory and nonlinear continuum mechanics, with wide applications for research scientists and advanced students.
Journey into the minds of visionary architects who push boundaries. This book unravels the secrets behind awe-inspiring structures, exploring the digital technology and material-based forms that challenge norms and offer insights into where contemporary architecture is headed.
Drawing parallels to fluid dynamics, this book observes how solar wind creates vortex structures in the plasma wakes of planets and comets. These features reveal an outstanding property that could also be produced by stellar winds interacting with the ionospheres of exoplanets.
The Art of Artificial Intelligence
This book explores artificial intelligence through the unique lens of art, showing how we can engage with AI without being subjugated by it. Each chapter begins with a work of art to guide the reader through philosophical keywords like “author,” “memory,” and “human.”
This book focuses on the co-estimation strategies of State-of-Charge (SOC) and State-of-Health (SOH) for lithium-ion batteries. It proposes a collaborative optimization strategy based on neural networks, providing technical references for scholars and engineers.
This book provides insight into the fundamentals of IoT concepts, architecture, and applications. It details emerging applications—including environmental, agricultural, industrial, and medical sensing—by focusing on specific frameworks, challenges, and future research trends.
This book focuses on controlling interfacial strength, a key problem in adhesion science. It examines adhesive joints of fibers and modified epoxy resins, analyzing the dependence of adhesive strength on modifier concentration and the mechanisms controlling strength synergism.
New Architecture and Urbanism
This book on New Architecture and Urbanism presents arguments and case studies on Indian traditions. It examines heritage as a living process, exploring the relevance of traditional methods for creating sustainable, humane, and connected communities.
The beauty of game theory is its application to real world problems. This book commemorates the marriage of the theory and practice, not in heaven, but in the real world.
This book shows the objective beauty of science, from the micro- and macrocosm to the fundamental constants of the universe. It examines the human organism as a system and explores ways to transition from a state of “illness” to a state of “health”.
Computational models must be adequate for real physical processes, yet the issue of adequacy is poorly understood. This is the first book to address constructing adequate mathematical descriptions, proposing two criteria and algorithms for specialists in mathematical modeling.
This book discusses the state of the art of OSL dating of Late Quaternary deposits in the Amazonian lowlands. It introduces OSL dating principles, applications, sampling, statistical methods, and techniques adapted for this challenging region.
Astrobiology for a General Reader
This book explores astrobiology in a unique ‘Questions and Answers’ format. With over 250 questions answered in a conversation-like style, it is a comprehensive guide for general readers and students eager to delve into this fascinating field.
The Physical Reality of Applied Quantum Optics
This book scrutinises quantum optic experiments, revealing hitherto ignored phenomena. It shows that there are no quantum optic “miracles” once the physically present effects are correctly identified, leading to a new understanding of quantum locality and realism.
The Digital Generation Reaches Maturity
This book explores the changing landscape of business and consumer behaviour, shaped by digital disruption and post-pandemic conditions. It identifies emerging trends, considering context and generation, to help you understand our world and develop better products and services.
