For the power industry, biomass is just a modern name for the
ancient material of plant origin that was converted into energy in
the simple technology of burning. This book discusses biomass as a
raw material for the production of liquid or gaseous biofuels and
valuable chemicals. Such biomass processing should be beneficial
from both economic and environmental points of view. Classic
technologies of biogas production are still being improved, but
they always generate waste that differs in terms of chemical
parameters, depending on the feedstock digested. These parameters
dictate the manner of their final managing. Various biotechnologies
allow the use of the biomass of hydrobionts, such as cyanobacteria
as a raw substance for obtaining different products, e.g.
hyaluronic acid, biopolymers, fertilizers, or even drugs. Animal
fats or algae can be used to produce biodiesel which in turn is
used in environmentally friendly urban transport. Even municipal
solid waste can be a source of useful biomass. The authors show how
its volume and composition can be predicted, by which form of
processing it can be converted into valuable products, as well as
in which ways its negative environmental impact can be limited.
First volume covers the issues related to the components and
systems of transport machines. Design issues of machine elements
operating in extreme conditions are also addressed. Covers the
dynamics of hydraulic, electro-hydraulic and mechanical-hydraulic
systems. Examines selected technical and economic issues of gas
transport. Covers topics of modelling of production processes with
the transport of products.
The science of biomedical measurements is experiencing a period of
rapid development. Biomedical measuring systems are becoming
increasingly accurate on the one hand and complex on the other. In
order to make progress in this field, metrological problems must be
solved using a systemic and formal approach. To this end, it is
necessary to define the components of the system and the rules for
their interaction, which allows the creation of a mathematical
model. In this way, any technology or object can be presented in
the form of a structure on which the necessary estimates can be
formulated and synthesis, including metrological one, can be made.
The authors have observed that despite the significance of the
problem, few scientific centres deal with this issue in a
generalised manner. Hence the idea of bringing together the
achievements of the centres from Russia, Poland and Kazakhstan in
one joint publication. The first and second volumes of Information
Technology in Medical Diagnostics found readers not only in Poland,
Ukraine, and Kazakhstan but also Spain, Russia and the Czech
Republic. Following the readers' suggestions, in the third volume
of ITMD we returned to the formula of closed chapters known from
volume one. Due to its limited volume, the book deals with the
aforementioned issues in only selected areas of biomedical
engineering. The book will be of interest not only for academics
and engineers but also for professionals involved in biomedical
engineering, seeking solutions for the problems that cannot be
solved using "traditional" technologies or trying to improve
existing measurement systems.
For many centuries, mankind has tried to learn about his health.
Initially, during the pre-technological period, he could only rely
on his senses. Then there were simple tools to help the senses. The
breakthrough turned out to be the discovery of X-rays, which gave
insight into the human body. Contemporary medical diagnostics are
increasingly supported by information technology, which for example
offers a very thorough analysis of the tissue image or the
pathology differentiation. It also offers possibilities for very
early preventive diagnosis. Under the influence of information
technology, 'traditional' diagnostic techniques and new ones are
changing. More and more often the same methods can be used for both
medical and technical diagnostics. In addition, methodologies are
developed that are inspired by the functioning of living organisms.
Information Technology in Medical Diagnostics II is the second
volume in a series showing the latest advances in information
technologies directly or indirectly applied to medical diagnostics.
Unlike the previous book, this volume does not contain closed
chapters, but rather extended versions of presentations made during
two conferences: XLVIII International Scientific and Practical
Conference 'Application of Lasers in Medicine and Biology'
(Kharkov, Ukraine) and the International Scientific Internet
conference 'Computer graphics and image processing' (Vinnitsa,
Ukriane), both held in May 2018. Information Technology in Medical
Diagnostics II links technological issues to medical and biological
issues, and will be valuable to academics and professionals
interested in medical diagnostics and IT.
Information Technology is applicable in all areas of life. As a
result, computer science is essential to imagine the modern world.
Recent advances in information technology represents only a small
part of today's computing applications which were the subject of
international cooperation between Kazakh, Ukrainian and Polish
scientists. A wide range of issues and topics is addressed, from
game theory to advanced control issues: - Application of new
computational models and their security problems - The
integro-differential game approach - Application of information
technology for automated translation, from inflected languages to
sign language - Mathematical problems of complex systems
investigation under uncertainties Recent advances in information
technology is of interest to academics and engineers, and to
professionals involved in information technology and its
applications.
For many centuries, people have tried to learn about the state of
their health. Initially, in the pre-technological period, they had
to rely only on their senses. Then there were simple tools to help
the human senses. The discovery of X-rays, which allowed people to
look "inside" the body, turned out to be a major breakthrough.
Contemporary medical diagnostics is increasingly being assisted by
information technology that allows, for example, thorough image
tissue analysis or pathology differentiation. They also allow very
early preventive diagnostics. Influenced by information technology,
"classic" diagnostic techniques change and new ones arise.
Information Technology in Medical Diagnostics presents selected and
extended conference papers from Polish, Ukrainian and Kazakh
scientists. They address problems of the application of new methods
of image processing for analysis of medical images, new methods of
classification of medical data as well as new medical imaging
methods. Some of the presented technologies are inspired by the
functioning of living organisms. Information Technology in Medical
Diagnostics is of interest not only to academics and engineers, but
also to professionals involved in biomedical engineering, and
seeking for solutions for issues that cannot be solved with the
help of "traditional" technologies.
This book includes 46 scientific papers presented at the conference
and reflecting the latest research in the fields of data mining,
machine learning and decision-making. The international scientific
conference "Intellectual Systems of Decision-Making and Problems of
Computational Intelligence" was held in the Kherson region,
Ukraine, from May 25 to 29, 2020. The papers are divided into three
sections: "Analysis and Modeling of Complex Systems and Processes,"
"Theoretical and Applied Aspects of Decision-Making Systems" and
"Computational Intelligence and Inductive Modeling." The book will
be of interest to scientists and developers specialized in the
fields of data mining, machine learning and decision-making
systems.
