Step up your presentation skills with our 6-page laminated guide,
focusing on graphic features, animation, audio and a variety of
ways presentations can be formatted and distributed. Joan Lambert,
author of multiple books on the Microsoft Office Suite, creator of
many Lynda.com videos and an experienced corporate trainer used her
experience and knowledge to cover the most relevant functions for
users at different levels. Also look for the "PowerPoint 2016"
QuickStudy for more general coverage of software use, then use the
pair to become a power user that can create presentations that
"wow". Suggested uses: Workplace -- flat for easy storage and
access at a moments notice to find a function you need to use, or
to jog your memory for a function you do not use often; Company
Training -- reduce help-desk calls and keep productivity flowing
for a team or for your entire company; Students/Teachers/Parents --
help with the learning curve in a classroom or for your child and
any projects requiring PowerPoint; College Professors/Students --
give polished presentations to your classes that give your hard
work the look it deserves.
Originating from papers presented at the 18th International
Conference on Railway Engineering Design and Operation, this book
provides up-to-date research on the use of advanced systems,
promoting their general awareness throughout the management,
design, manufacture and operation of railways and other emerging
passenger, freight and transit systems. A key emphasis is placed on
the use of computer systems in advanced railway engineering. The
included works are compiled from a variety of specialists
interested in the development of railways, including managers,
consultants, railway engineers, designers of advanced train control
systems and computer specialists. Topics covered include: Traffic
safety, security and monitoring; Train and railways analysis;
Operation of rail networks; Advanced train control;
Energy-efficient design; Traffic modelling and simulation.
For introductory courses in computer concepts, digital literacy, or
computer literacy, often including instruction in Microsoft (R)
Office. Best-selling Technology in Action Complete uses practical
content and hands- on projects to engage students in computing
tasks and skills they can apply at work, in class, or at home.
Designed for today's technically savvy students, the text
introduces difficult concepts at a basic level early on, then
expands upon these skills as students build mastery. The 16th
edition brings innovative content updates, including new coverage
of ethics, artificial intelligence, and managing a digital
lifestyle, as well as several new features encouraging critical
thinking.
Affective computing is a nascent field situated at the intersection
of artificial intelligence with social and behavioral science. It
studies how human emotions are perceived and expressed, which then
informs the design of intelligent agents and systems that can
either mimic this behavior to improve their intelligence or
incorporate such knowledge to effectively understand and
communicate with their human collaborators. Affective computing
research has recently seen significant advances and is making a
critical transformation from exploratory studies to real-world
applications in the emerging research area known as applied
affective computing. This book offers readers an overview of the
state-of-the-art and emerging themes in affective computing,
including a comprehensive review of the existing approaches to
affective computing systems and social signal processing. It
provides in-depth case studies of applied affective computing in
various domains, such as social robotics and mental well-being. It
also addresses ethical concerns related to affective computing and
how to prevent misuse of the technology in research and
applications. Further, this book identifies future directions for
the field and summarizes a set of guidelines for developing
next-generation affective computing systems that are effective,
safe, and human-centered. For researchers and practitioners new to
affective computing, this book will serve as an introduction to the
field to help them in identifying new research topics or developing
novel applications. For more experienced researchers and
practitioners, the discussions in this book provide guidance for
adopting a human-centered design and development approach to
advance affective computing.
You ve just purchased a TI-83 Plus calculator to assist in
performing different types of mathematical equations now, how can
you get the most out of it? You ll find the answer to this question
with our comprehensive, 3-panel guide that shows in great detail
what exactly the TI-83 Plus can do. Function key and mode
descriptions, as well as problem-solving examples, are included
within a color-coded format for easy reference.

Today, computation is an essential component of every technology.
However, there has not been much research on quantum computing,
even though it has the capability to solve complex problems in an
efficient way. Further study is required to fully understand the
uses and benefits of this technology. The Handbook of Research on
Quantum Computing for Smart Environments presents investigating
physical realizations of quantum computers, encoders, and decoders,
including photonic quantum realization, cavity quantum
electrodynamics, and many more topics on Bits to Qubits. Covering
key topics such as machine learning, software, quantum algorithms,
and neural networks, this major reference work is ideal for
engineers, computer scientists, physicists, mathematicians,
researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, instructors,
and students.
