From the global automation leaders at Accenture-the first-ever
comprehensive blueprint for how to use and scale AI-powered
intelligent automation in the enterprise to gain competitive
advantage through faster speed to market, improved product quality,
higher efficiency, and an elevated customer experience. Many
companies were already implementing limited levels of automation
when the pandemic hit. But the need to rapidly change business
processes and how organizations work resulted in the compression of
a decade's worth of digital transformation into a matter of months.
Technology suddenly became the essential element for rapid
organizational change and the creation of 360-degree value
benefiting all stakeholders. Businesses are faced with the
imperative to embrace that change or risk being left behind. In The
Automation Advantage, global enterprise technology and automation
veterans Bhaskar Ghosh, Rajendra Prasad, and Gayathri Pallail give
business leaders and managers the action plan they need to execute
a strategic agenda that enables them to quickly and confidently
scale their automation and AI initiatives. This practical and
highly accessible implementation guide answers leaders' burning
questions, such as: How do I identify and prioritize automation
opportunities? How do I assess my legacy systems and data issues?
How do I derive full value out of my technology investments and
automation efforts? How can I inspire my employees to embrace
change and the new opportunities presented by automation? The
Automation Advantage goes beyond optimizing process to using AI to
transform almost any business activity in any industry to make it
faster, more streamlined, cost efficient, and
customer-focused-vastly improving overall productivity and
performance. Featuring case studies of successful automation
solutions, this indispensable road map includes guiding principles
for technology, governance, culture, and leadership change. It
offers a human-centric approach to AI and automation that leads to
sustainable transformation and measurable business results.
Sustainability of agricultural systems is a major global concern
due to population growth and a number of environmental factors.
This book addresses the key to the development of sustainable
agriculture-management of soil fertility. Combining data from
temperate and tropical regions, it presents a complete picture of
how various soils can best be managed under widely different
environmental conditions.
Soil Fertility Management for Sustainable Agriculture is an
excellent reference for environmental and agricultural
professionals as well as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate
students preparing for a career in agriculture or soil fertility
management.
Most textbooks in the field are either too advanced for students
or don t adequately cover current research topics. Bridging this
gap, Electronic Structure of Materials helps advanced undergraduate
and graduate students understand electronic structure methods and
enables them to use these techniques in their work.
Developed from the author s lecture notes, this classroom-tested
book takes a microscopic view of materials as composed of
interacting electrons and nuclei. It explains all the properties of
materials in terms of basic quantities of electrons and nuclei,
such as electronic charge, mass, and atomic number. Based on
quantum mechanics, this first-principles approach does not have any
adjustable parameters.
The first half of the text presents the fundamentals and methods
of electronic structure. Using numerous examples, the second half
illustrates applications of the methods to various materials,
including crystalline solids, disordered substitutional alloys,
amorphous solids, nanoclusters, nanowires, graphene, topological
insulators, battery materials, spintronic materials, and materials
under extreme conditions.
Every chapter starts at a basic level and gradually moves to
more complex topics, preparing students for more advanced work in
the field. End-of-chapter exercises also help students get a sense
of numbers and visualize the physical picture associated with the
problem. Students are encouraged to practice with the electronic
structure calculations via user-friendly software packages."
Optimal Reliability Design, first published in 2000, provides a
detailed introduction to systems reliability and reliability
optimization. Techniques for maximizing system reliability are
described, focusing on component reliability enhancement and
redundancy arrangement. The authors present several case studies
and show how optimization techniques are applied in practice. They
also pay particular attention to finding methods that give the
optimal trade-off between reliability and cost. The book begins
with a review of key background material, and a discussion of a
range of optimization models. The authors go on to cover
optimization tools, such as heuristics, discrete optimization,
nonlinear programming, mixed integer programming, optimal
arrangement, and metaheuristic algorithms. They also describe the
computational implementation of these tools. Many numerical
examples are included, and the book contains over 180 homework
exercises. It is suitable as a textbook for graduate-level courses
in reliability engineering and operations research. It will also be
a valuable reference for practising engineers.
Radar Remote Sensing: Applications and Challenges advances the

Structure and Tectonics of the Indian Continental Crust and Its
Adjoining Region: Deep Seismic Studies, Second Edition, collates
essential data from seismic studies of Earth's crust across India,
offering an essential understanding of the tectonic development of
the Indian subcontinent. Seismic studies have been carried out in
various parts of India since 1972, recording crust-related seismic
data for determination of velocity-depth configuration and
determination of structural patterns. The book examines the details
of these studies, including their synthesis and global
applications. The book presents both background and applications in
one cohesive volume for researchers and students of geophysics and
geology.
