This contributed volume comprises of detailed chapters covering the
biotechnological approaches employed for the removal of toxic
recalcitrant xenobiotics such as petroleum hydrocarbons, textile
dyes, microplastics and synthetic polymers that pose serious threat
to the environment. It also includes the waste to energy conversion
strategies that provides a deep insight on the need for waste
circular economy for different developing countries and its
implication on sustainable development goals such as SDG 12
(responsible consumption and production) SDG 14 (Life below water);
and SDG 15 (Life on land). Emerging pollutants sourced from both
industries and anthropogenic activity have created havoc in recent
years for public health and destruction of biodiversity at multiple
levels. The alarming increase in the global population and rapid
industrialization might aggravate the problems associated with
these hazardous pollutants in near future. Effluent from different
industries may contain high amounts of xenobiotic hazardous
contaminants such as dyes, hydrocarbons, synthetic surfactants,
microplastics, etc. Industries and public sewers handling such
waste streams are facing a plethora of challenges in the effluent
treatment and solid waste disposal due to various factors that
start from production to adoption of appropriate technologies.
Therefore, there is an immediate circumvention of bottlenecks
through sustainable mitigation strategies. This book is of interest
to teachers, researchers, climate change scientists, capacity
builders and policymakers. Also, the book serves as additional
reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of
agriculture, forestry, ecology, soil science, and environmental
sciences. National and international agricultural scientists,
policy makers also find this to be a useful read.
Recently, the internet of things (IoT) has brought the vision of a
smarter world into reality with a massive amount of data and
numerous services. With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic,
artificial intelligence (AI) has gained significant attention by
utilizing its machine learning algorithms for quality patient care.
The integration of IoT with AI may open new possibilities for both
technologies and can play a big part in smart healthcare by
providing improved insight into healthcare data and allowing for
more inexpensive personalized care. The Handbook of Research on
Advancements in AI and IoT Convergence Technologies considers
recent advancements in AI and IoT convergence technologies with a
focus on state-of-the-art approaches, methodologies, and systems
for the design, development, deployment, and innovative use of
those convergence technologies. It also provides insight into how
to develop AI and IoT convergence techniques to meet industrial
demands and covers the emerging research topics that are going to
define the future of AI and IoT convergence technology development.
Covering key topics such as diseases, smart healthcare, social
distance monitoring, and security, this major reference work is
ideal for industry professionals, nurses, healthcare workers,
computer scientists, policymakers, researchers, scholars,
practitioners, instructors, and students.
Recently, artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things
(IoT), and cognitive technologies have successfully been applied to
various research domains, including computer vision, natural
language processing, voice recognition, and more. In addition, AI
with IoT has made a significant breakthrough and a shift in
technical direction to achieve high efficiency and adaptability in
a variety of new applications. On the other hand, network design
and optimization for AI applications addresses a complementary
topic, namely the support of AI-based systems through novel
networking techniques, including new architectures, as well as
performance models for IoT systems. IoT has paved the way to a
plethora of new application domains, at the same time posing
several challenges as a multitude of devices, protocols,
communication channels, architectures, and middleware exist. Big
data generated by these devices calls for advanced learning and
data mining techniques to effectively understand, learn, and reason
with this volume of information, such as cognitive technologies.
Cognitive technologies play a major role in developing successful
cognitive systems which mimic ""cognitive"" functions associated
with human intelligence, such as ""learning"" and ""problem
solving."" Thus, there is a continuing demand for recent research
in these two linked fields. Innovations and Applications of AI,
IoT, and Cognitive Technologies discusses the latest innovations
and applications of AI, IoT, and cognitive-based smart systems. The
chapters cover the intersection of these three fields in emerging
and developed economies in terms of their respective development
situation, public policies, technologies and intellectual capital,
innovation systems, competition and strategies, marketing and
growth capability, and governance and relegation models. These
applications span areas such as healthcare, security and privacy,
industrial systems, multidisciplinary sciences, and more. This book
is ideal for technologists, IT specialists, policymakers,
government officials, academics, students, and practitioners
interested in the experiences of innovations and applications of
AI, IoT, and cognitive technologies.
Necessity is the mother of invention; challenging times can provide
new opportunities that must be detected and exploited at the right
moments. The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated that it is not only
an issue of healthcare but also a challenge for the global economy,
business, and society. Organizations have rapidly deployed
technology solutions that enable them to work and service remotely
and continue most of their normal operations. Technologies and
Systems for E-Collaboration During Global Crises focuses on
emerging technologies and systems, strategies, and solutions for
e-collaboration. This book assesses the importance of technologies
and systems for e-collaboration in dealing with emerging crises
such as pandemics. Covering topics such as deep learning processes,
machine vision, and profit-sharing models, it is an essential
resource for computer scientists, public officials, engineers,
students and professors of higher education, healthcare
administration, programmers, researchers, and academicians.
