Energy efficiency is critical for running computer vision on
battery-powered systems, such as mobile phones or UAVs (unmanned
aerial vehicles, or drones). This book collects the methods that
have won the annual IEEE Low-Power Computer Vision Challenges since
2015. The winners share their solutions and provide insight on how
to improve the efficiency of machine learning systems.
This book provides an important critique of mental health law and
practice in China, with a focus on involuntary detention and
treatment. The work explores China's mental health law reform
regarding treatment decision-making in the new era of the UN
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). It
adopts a socio-legal approach, not only by undertaking a
comprehensive desk-based analysis of the reforms introduced by
China's Mental Health Law (MHL) but also examining its
implementation based on evidence from practice. The book seeks to
investigate whether China's first national MHL takes a step closer
to the requirements of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons
with Disabilities on mental health treatment decision-making, and,
if not, why not? The book will be of interest to those working in
the areas of mental health law and policy, medical law and
disability, human rights law, and Asian Studies.

The beginnings of globalisation are usually dated to the last third
of the twentieth century, alongside the rise of supranational
companies, the financial economy and the information technology
revolution. However, from the time the Earth was
“anthropocized” during the Palaeolithic era, globalisation has
not ceased, though it has seen a number of fluctuations, including
the era of WWI and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Globalisation and
COVID-19 examines how the simultaneous immobilisation of billions
created a temporary hold on the mobility which constitutes the very
irrigation of globalisation. In this 31st volume of the book series
Contributions to Conflict Management, Peace Economics and
Development, world-renowned contributors explore the pandemic
through the lens of globalisation, analysing its implications for
the globalised world and its development over time. Through
innovative tools and methodologies of emerging social sciences like
Regional Science, Peace Science, and particularly of Management
Science which includes artificial intelligence and quantum
mechanics, Globalisation and COVID-19 brings together researchers
and practitioners to create a transversal and systemic approach
necessary to interrogating essential questions of pandemic-era
globality.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings
of the First International Symposium On Combinatorics, Algorithms,
Probabilistic and Experimental Methodologies, ESCAPE 2007, held in
Hangzhou, China in April 2007.
The 46 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and
selected from 362 submissions. The papers address practical large
data processing problems with different, and eventually converging,
methodologies from major important disciplines such as computer
science, combinatorics, and statistics. The symposium provides an
interdisciplinary forum for researchers across their discipline
boundaries to exchange their approaches, to search for ideas,
methodologies, and tool boxes, to find better, faster and more
accurate solutions thus fostering innovative ideas as well as to
develop research agenda of common interest.
International migration afflicts nearly every corner of the globe,
from the Americas, Europe and North Africa, and adjoining countries
in South Asia. This migration links the socio-economic statuses of
migrants’ home countries and those into which they are migrating.
This phenomenon has a profound impact upon ethnic conflict,
resource availability, famines and other natural and manmade
disasters, as well as financial, political, social and
environmental implications for some of the world’s most seemingly
unsolvable crises, such as world peace. These vast complexities
have been further exemplified by the COVID-19 pandemic, which, as
analysed through an environmental and migratory lens, is the focus
of this 32nd volume of the book series Contributions to Conflict
Management, Peace Economics and Development. With contributions
from world-renowned scholars, International Migration, COVID-19,
and Environmental Sustainability tackles recent universal subject
matter and ties it to key contemporary issues, including
globalisation and sustainability, that are related to international
migration and its impacts.
This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of
the First International Conference on Applied Cryptography in
Computer and Communications, AC3 2021, and the First International
Workshop on Security for Internet of Things (IoT). The conference
was held in May 2021 and due to COVID-19 pandemic virtually.The 15
revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 42
submissions. The papers present are grouped in 4 tracks on
blockchain; authentication; secure computation; practical crypto
application. They detail technical aspects of applied cryptography,
including symmetric cryptography, public-key cryptography,
cryptographic protocols, cryptographic implementations,
cryptographic standards and practices.

This conference proceeding is a collection of the papers accepted
by the CENet2021 - the 11th International Conference on Computer
Engineering and Networks held on October 21-25, 2021 in Hechi,
China. The topics focus but are not limited to Internet of Things
and Smart Systems, Artificial Intelligence and Applications,
Communication System Detection, Analysis and Application, and
Medical Engineering and Information Systems. Each part can be used
as an excellent reference by industry practitioners, university
faculties, research fellows and undergraduates as well as graduate
students who need to build a knowledge base of the most current
advances and state-of-practice in the topics covered by this
conference proceedings. This will enable them to produce, maintain,
and manage systems with high levels of trustworthiness and
complexity.
