This book is a comprehensive guide to vascular imaging and endovascular interventions. Divided into fifteen sections, the first chapters provide an overview of vascular imaging, radiation safety, contrast agents and pharmacologics. The following sections cover vascular anatomy, pathology and non-invasive vascular imaging, with each topic further divided by anatomical region. The text continues with detail on angiographic techniques, then each of the following sections provides in depth information on the diagnosis and treatment of different vascular diseases. The book concludes with discussion on male and female genitoreproductive diagnosis and interventions. Written by internationally recognised authorities in the field, this book is highly illustrated with clinical images and diagrams. Key Points Comprehensive guide to vascular imaging and endovascular interventions Provides overview of vascular imaging, radiation safety, contrast agents and pharmacologics Covers diagnosis and treatment of numerous vascular disorders Internationally recognised author team

This book addresses the frontier advances in the theory and application of nature-inspired optimization techniques, including solving the quadratic assignment problem, prediction in nature-inspired dynamic optimization, the lion algorithm and its applications, optimizing the operation scheduling of microgrids, PID controllers for two-legged robots, optimizing crane operating times, planning electrical energy distribution systems, automatic design and evaluation of classification pipelines, and optimizing wind-energy power generation plants. The book also presents a variety of nature-inspired methods and illustrates methods of adapting these to said applications. Nature-inspired computation, developed by mimicking natural phenomena, makes a significant contribution toward the solution of non-convex optimization problems that normal mathematical optimizers fail to solve. As such, a wide range of nature-inspired computing approaches has been used in multidisciplinary engineering applications. Written by researchers and developers from a variety of fields, this book presents the latest findings, novel techniques and pioneering applications.

The book provides a collection of recent applications of nature inspired optimization in industrial fields. Different optimization techniques have been deployed, and different problems have been effectively analyzed. The valuable contributions from researchers focus on three ultimate goals (i) improving the accuracy of these techniques, (ii) achieving higher speed and lower computational complexity, and (iii) working on their proposed applications. The book is helpful for active researchers and practitioners in the field.

The sex pheromone trap in different experiment field reported that the Farmer's field reported highest yield (395.12 q/ha) and lowest shoot damage (8.42%) and fruit damage on number basis (6.51%) and weight basis (6.29%). The highest yield (395.12 q/ha) obtained in Farmer's field with higher per cent increase over control in both number (89.56%) and weight (22.67%) basis. The incidence of L. orbonalis to shoots showed two peaks, first during 5th week of August (35th SMW) (33.33%) and second during 3rd week of September (38th SMW) (17.14%) with significant negative association of sunshine and non-significant negative association of maximum temperature as well as with morning relative humidity. Activity of the pest in fruits was observed higher as compared to shoots with the peak (28.26%) during 3rd week of November. Among different varieties, the highest (424.62 q/ha) fruit yield was harvested from the variety Doli-5 with reporting "resistant." Among the seven treatments, neem oil @ 0.5% was found significantly superior and recorded the lowest (7.77) per cent shoot damage with the highest (1:35.80) Incremental Cost Benefit Ratio (ICBR) in the plots treated with neem oil @ 0.5%.
