This book provides a comprehensive review of advances in breeding
techniques for cereals such as wheat, barley maize and rye. Part 1
discusses ways of better exploiting genetic diversity through
techniques such as trait introgression. Parts 2-3 then summarise
developments in the use of doubled haploids and hybrid breeding
methods. Parts 4-5 review advances in high throughput phenotyping
and its use in identifying markers for breeding using techniques
such as genome-wide association studies and nested association
mapping.
Traditionally, Lorentzian geometry has been used as a necessary
tool to understand general relativity, as well as to explore new
genuine geometric behaviors, far from classical Riemannian
techniques. Recent progress has attracted a renewed interest in
this theory for many researchers: long-standing global open
problems have been solved, outstanding Lorentzian spaces and groups
have been classified, new applications to mathematical relativity
and high energy physics have been found, and further connections
with other geometries have been developed. Samples of these fresh
trends are presented in this volume, based on contributions from
the VI International Meeting on Lorentzian Geometry, held at the
University of Granada, Spain, in September, 2011. Topics such as
geodesics, maximal, trapped and constant mean curvature
submanifolds, classifications of manifolds with relevant
symmetries, relations between Lorentzian and Finslerian geometries,
and applications to mathematical physics are included. This book
will be suitable for a broad audience of differential geometers,
mathematical physicists and relativists, and researchers in the
field.
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Ultrasound has recently taken an
explosive growth for better safer, economic, mobile and high
quality healthcare. This technology is very appealing for medical
applications because it is non-ionizing, non-invasive and it is
available in most of the medical and clinical facilities. Its low
cost, when compared with other medical image modalities, makes it
one of the preferred tools for medical monitoring, follow-up and
diagnosis. Besides the traditional fields of Cardiology and
Obstetrics, where it is extensively used for long time, it has
became also very useful in the diagnosis of diseases of the
prostate, liver and coronaries and carotids atherosclerosis.
However, Ultrasound images present poor quality, very low signal to
noise ratio and a lot of artifacts. The extraction of useful
information from Ultrasound data for diagnosis is a challenge task
that makes this medical image modality a very active field of
research. The difficulties are being overcome and novel and
advanced methods are being proposed for detection, characterization
and segmentation of abnormalities in several organs. In fact,
Ultrasound application range is vast, covering almost all organs of
the human body, including the brain where Tran-cranial Doppler
Ultrasound is very important to assess the brain vasculature. This
book presents some of the recent advances in Ultrasound imaging
technology covering several organs and techniques in a Biomedical
Engineering (BME) perspective. The focus of the book is in the
algorithms, methodologies and systems developed by
multidisciplinary research teams of engineers and physicians for
Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) purposes. Cardiovascular and Cancer,
the most common life-threatening diseases in western countries, are
two of the most important topics focused in the book. However,
other advanced issues are also presented such as Intravascular
Ultrasound, 3D US and Ultrasound in Computer-Aided Surgery (CAS).
Some chapters are direct contributions from medical research groups
where Ultrasound has also received great attention in the last
decade. By this, new techniques based on Ultrasound were introduced
in the clinical practice for diagnosis and therapeutics, mainly in
hospital facilities.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th Iberian
Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis, IbPRIA 2013,
held in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal, in June 2013. The 105 papers
(37 oral and 68 poster ones) presented were carefully reviewed and
selected from 181 submissions. The papers are organized in topical
sections on computer vision, pattern recognition, image and signal,
applications.

This open access book encompasses a collection of in-depth analyses
showcasing the challenges and ways forward for macroeconomic
modelling of R&D and innovation policies. Based upon the
proceedings of the EC-DG JRC-IEA workshop held in Brussels in 2017,
it presents cutting-edge contributions from a number of leading
economists in the field. It provides a comprehensive overview of
the current academic and policy challenges surrounding R&D as
well as of the state-of-the-art modelling techniques. The book
brings to the forefront outstanding issues related to the
assessment of the macroeconomic impact of R&D policies and its
modelling. It speaks to the rising importance of R&D and
innovation policy, and the proliferation of macroeconomic models
featuring endogenous technological change. The contents of this
book will be of interest to both academic and policy audiences
working in the fields of R&D and innovation.

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death in the world,
resulting mostly from the sudden ruptures of atherosclerosis
carotid plaques. Understanding why and how plaque develops and
ruptures requires a multi-disciplinary approach such as radiology,
biomedical engineering, medical physics, software engineering,
hardware engineering, pathological and histological imaging.
Multi-Modality Atherosclerosis Imaging, Diagnosis and Treatment
presents a new dimension of understanding Atherosclerosis in 2D and
3D. This book presents work on plaque stress analysis in order to
provide a general framework of computational modeling with
atherosclerosis plaques. New algorithms based on 3D and 4D
Ultrasound are presented to assess the atherosclerotic disease as
well as very recent advances in plaque multimodality image fusion
analysis. The goal of Multi-Modality Atherosclerosis Imaging,
Diagnosis and Treatment is to fuse information obtained from
different 3D medical image modalities, such as 3D US, CT and MRI,
providing the medical doctor with some sort of augmented reality
information about the atherosclerotic plaque in order to improve
the accuracy of the diagnosis. Analysis of the plaque dynamics
along the cardiac cycle is also a valuable indicator for plaque
instability assessment and therefore for risk stratification. 4D
Ultrasound, a sequence of 3D reconstructions of the region of
interest along the time, can be used for this dynamic analysis.
Multimodality Image Fusion is a very appealing approach because it
puts together the best characteristics of each modality, such as,
the high temporal resolution of US and the high spatial resolutions
of MRI and CT.
As the climate and environment continue to fluctuate, researchers
are urgently looking for new ways to preserve our limited resources
and prevent further environmental degradation. The answer can be
found through computer science, a field that is evolving at
precisely the time it is needed most. Soft Computing Applications
for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency brings together the
latest technological research in computational intelligence and
fuzzy logic as a way to care for our environment. This reference
work highlights current advances and future trends in environmental
sustainability using the principles of soft computing, making it an
essential resource for students, researchers, engineers, and
practitioners in the fields of project engineering and energy
science.
