Focusing on different tools, platforms, and techniques, Blockchain
and the Smart City: Infrastructure and Implementation uses case
studies from around the world to examine blockchain deployment in
diverse smart city applications. The book begins by examining the
fundamental theories and concepts of blockchain. It looks at key
smart cities' domains such as banking, insurance, healthcare, and
supply chain management. It examines Using case studies for each
domain, the book looks at payment mechanisms, fog/edge computing,
green computing, and algorithms and consensus mechanisms for smart
cities implementation. It looks at tools such as Hyperledger,
Etherium, Corda, IBM Blockchain, Hydrachain, as well as policies
and regulatory standards, applications, solutions, and
methodologies. While exploring future blockchain ecosystems for
smart and sustainable city life, the book concludes with the
research challenges and opportunities academics, researchers, and
companies in implementing blockchain applications.
Green Blockchain Technology for Sustainable Smart Cities presents a
detailed exploration of the adaptation and implementation of green
blockchain technology for sustainable and eco-friendly smart city
applications. This book covers all aspects of the topic and
explores smart cities ecosystem applications of blockchain
technology. Novel architectural and business blockchain use case
solutions in smart city implementations are at the core of this
book, which will be beneficial for all researchers, engineers,
graduate students, smart city practitioners, and city
administrators who are engaged in green blockchain and smart
cities-related technologies.
Deep Learning (DL) is a method of machine learning, running over
Artificial Neural Networks, that uses multiple layers to extract
high-level features from large amounts of raw data. Deep Learning
methods apply levels of learning to transform input data into more
abstract and composite information. Handbook for Deep Learning in
Biomedical Engineering: Techniques and Applications gives readers a
complete overview of the essential concepts of Deep Learning and
its applications in the field of Biomedical Engineering. Deep
learning has been rapidly developed in recent years, in terms of
both methodological constructs and practical applications. Deep
Learning provides computational models of multiple processing
layers to learn and represent data with higher levels of
abstraction. It is able to implicitly capture intricate structures
of large-scale data and is ideally suited to many of the hardware
architectures that are currently available. The ever-expanding
amount of data that can be gathered through biomedical and clinical
information sensing devices necessitates the development of machine
learning and AI techniques such as Deep Learning and Convolutional
Neural Networks to process and evaluate the data. Some examples of
biomedical and clinical sensing devices that use Deep Learning
include: Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI), Ultrasound, Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography
(SPECT), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Magnetic Particle
Imaging, EE/MEG, Optical Microscopy and Tomography, Photoacoustic
Tomography, Electron Tomography, and Atomic Force Microscopy.
Handbook for Deep Learning in Biomedical Engineering: Techniques
and Applications provides the most complete coverage of Deep
Learning applications in biomedical engineering available,
including detailed real-world applications in areas such as
computational neuroscience, neuroimaging, data fusion, medical
image processing, neurological disorder diagnosis for diseases such
as Alzheimer's, ADHD, and ASD, tumor prediction, as well as
translational multimodal imaging analysis.
Emergence of Pharmaceutical Industry Growth with Industrial IoT
Approach uses an innovative approach to explore how the Internet of
Things (IoT) and big data can improve approaches, create
efficiencies and make discoveries. Rapid growth of the IoT has
encouraged many companies in the manufacturing sector to make use
of this technology to unlock its potential. Pharmaceutical
manufacturing companies are no exception to this, as IoT has the
potential to revolutionize aspects of the pharmaceutical
manufacturing process, from drug discovery to manufacturing. Using
clear, concise language and real world case studies, this book
discusses systems level from both a human-factors point-of-view and
the perspective of networking, databases, privacy and
anti-spoofing. The wide variety of topics presented offers readers
multiple perspectives on a how to integrate the Internet of Things
into pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Thermal and Rheological Measurement Techniques for Nanomaterials
Characterization, Second Edition covers thermal and rheological
measurement techniques, including their principle working methods,
sample preparation and interpretation of results. This important
reference is an ideal source for materials scientists and
industrial engineers who are working with nanomaterials and need to
know how to determine their properties and behaviors.
Nanomaterials Characterization Techniques, Volume Two, part of an
ongoing series, offers a detailed analysis of the different types
of spectroscopic methods currently being used in
nanocharacterization. These include, for example, the Raman
