Artificial neural network research is one of the new directions for new generation computers. Current research suggests that open box artificial higher order neural networks (HONNs) play an important role in this new direction. HONNs will challenge traditional artificial neural network products and change the research methodology that people are currently using in control and recognition areas for the control signal generating, pattern recognition, nonlinear recognition, classification, and prediction. Since HONNs are open box models, they can be easily accepted and used by individuals working in information science, information technology, management, economics, and business fields. Emerging Capabilities and Applications of Artificial Higher Order Neural Networks contains innovative research on how to use HONNs in control and recognition areas and explains why HONNs can approximate any nonlinear data to any degree of accuracy, their ease of use, and how they can have better nonlinear data recognition accuracy than SAS nonlinear procedures. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as nonlinear regression, pattern recognition, and data prediction, this book is ideally designed for data analysists, IT specialists, engineers, researchers, academics, students, and professionals working in the fields of economics, business, modeling, simulation, control, recognition, computer science, and engineering research.

Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) is a sudden, unexpected death caused by loss of heart function (sudden cardiac arrest) and Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) occurs when the electrical system to the heart malfunctions and suddenly becomes very irregular. Death can often be a result if not handled quick enough or effectively. New technologies seek to help with this issue. Data processing is a crucial step to developing prognostic models. Some of the challenges in data processing are non-linear prediction models, a large number of patients and numerous predictors with complicated correlations. In traditional hypothesis-driven statistical analysis it is difficult to overcome these challenges. Current approaches to predict cardiovascular risk fail to identify many people who would benefit from preventive treatment, while others receive unnecessary intervention. So, there is an emergent need of an adaptation of AI technologies such as Machine Learning and Deep Learning Techniques to overcome the challenges. The Machine Learning (ML) approaches have great potential in increasing the accuracy of cardiovascular risk prediction and to avoid unnecessary treatment. The application of ML techniques may have the potential to improve Heart Failure outcomes and management, including cost savings by improving existing diagnostic and treatment support systems. Moreover, ML algorithms can also be applied to predict SCD. Also, Machine Learning offers an opportunity to improve accuracy by exploiting complex interactions between risk factors. The book addresses the impact and power of technology driven approaches for prevention and detection of SCA and SCD. It will provide insights on causes and symptoms of SCA and SCD and evaluate whether AI Technologies can improve the accuracy of cardiovascular risk prediction. It will explore the current issues and future technology driven solutions for SCA and SCD prevention and detection.

The lead singer on Supercell's eponymous first album is Hatsune Miku-a Vocaloid character created by Crypton Future Media with voice synthesizers. A virtual superstar, over 100,000 songs, uploaded mostly by fans, are attributed to her. Supercell is a Japanese creator music group with the composer Ryo leading ten artists, who design album illustrations and make music videos. These videos are uploaded onto Niconico and other video-sharing sites. By the time Supercell was released in March 2009, the group's Vocaloid works were already well-known to Niconico users and fans. This book explores the Vocaloid and DTM (desktop music) phenomena through the lenses of media and fan studies, looking closely at online social media platforms, the new technology for composing, avid fans of the Vocaloid character, and these fans' performative practices. It provides a sense of how interactive new media and an empowered fan base combine to engage in the creation processes and enhance the circulation of DTM works. 33 1/3 Global, a series related to but independent from 33 1/3, takes the format of the original series of short, music-basedbooks and brings the focus to music throughout the world.

Computing has moved away from a focus on performance-centric serial computation, instead towards energy-efficient parallel computation. This provides continued performance increases without increasing clock frequencies, and overcomes the thermal and power limitations of the dark-silicon era. As the number of parallel cores increases, we transition into the many-core computing era. There is considerable interest in developing methods, tools, architectures and applications to support many-core computing. The primary aim of this edited book is to provide a timely and coherent account of the recent advances in many-core computing research. Starting with programming models, operating systems and their applications; the authors present runtime management techniques, followed by system modelling, verification and testing methods, and architectures and systems. The book ends with some examples of innovative applications.
