Communicating, Networking : Interacting : The International Year of Global Understanding - IYGU
illustrates the benefits to be gained from digitally networked communication for health, education and transitioning economies in developing nations (Sierra Leone and Papua New Guinea) and developed nations. Growing powers of e-citizenship can help build sustainable futures. This small volume provides a collection of examples and ideas from which the authors hope will help build a wider resource. Understanding how to link everyday lives with global networks in the digital world in ways that add benefit for the world’s people, and the health of the planet, is an ongoing project. IYGU recognises the integral roles of networking and communication systems, as well as interactions between people, near and far, as fundamental for building better futures. The global penetration of digital devices means everyday life, present and future, is inextricably linked with information technologies
Climatic Change and its Impacts : An Overview Focusing on Switzerland
This book focuses upon climate processes, variability and change and applies the general principles related to these issues, particularly in Switzerland. Although a small country, Switzerland is characterized by complex topography where climatic processes are often enhanced due to the presence of the Alps. In addition, there is a remarkable density of observational data in both the natural and social sciences that enable a comprehensive assessment of climate processes, their long-term trends and their impacts. This book is intended for students from the undergraduate level onwards and researchers interested in climate issues specific to the alpine region.

Classification and Modeling with Linguistic Information Granules : Advanced Approaches to Linguistic Data Mining
Many approaches have already been proposed for classification and modeling in the literature. These approaches are usually based on mathematical mod els. Computer systems can easily handle mathematical models even when they are complicated and nonlinear (e.g., neural networks). On the other hand, it is not always easy for human users to intuitively understand mathe matical models even when they are simple and linear. This is because human information processing is based mainly on linguistic knowledge while com puter systems are designed to handle symbolic and numerical information. A large part of our daily communication is based on words. We learn from various media such as books, newspapers, magazines, TV, and the Inter net through words. We also communicate with others through words. While words play a central role in human information processing, linguistic models are not often used in the fields of classification and modeling. If there is no goal other than the maximization of accuracy in classification and modeling, mathematical models may always be preferred to linguistic models. On the other hand, linguistic models may be chosen if emphasis is placed on interpretability.

Challenges for Computational Intelligence
Computational Intelligence (CI) is used as a name to cover many existing branches of science, with artificial neural networks, fuzzy systems and evolutionary computation forming its core. In recent years CI has been extended by adding many other subdisciplines and it became quite obvious that this new field also requires a series of challenging problems that will give it a sense of direction. Without setting up clear goals and yardsticks to measure progress on the way many research efforts are wasted.The book written by top experts in CI provides such clear directions and the much-needed focus on the most important and challenging research issues, showing a roadmap how to achieve ambitious goals.

Cell Division Control in Plants
The molecular mechanisms controlling cell cycle progression are highly conserved in eukaryotes. In addition to the basic protein machinery involved in cell cycle regulation, higher plants have also evolved unique molecular mechanisms that allow integration of environmental, physiological, and developmental signals into networks to control proper cell division and expansion. Rapid and exciting research progress in these fields has been achieved from experimental observations on plants over the past decade. The scope of this volume is focused on the molecular basis of all aspects of cell division and cytokinesis in plants. It is an essential reference book for instructors and scientists working in the areas of molecular, cell, and developmental biology of plants. The editors of this book are veterans in the field of plant molecular biology and highly respected worldwide.

Cartoony story app = تطبيق قصة كارتونية
The translation of textual narratives into immersive visual representations poses a significant challenge in the field of artificial intelligence. Traditional cartoon generation techniques face formidable technical challenges and require substantial resources. Research efforts towards direct video synthesis from text have encountered obstacles in developing efficient techniques. In parallel, researchers propose an alternative approach involving the generation of dynamic sequences of images portraying children's story narratives. This approach includes applying various visual effects to highlight motion, interaction, and excitement in storytelling. By dynamically generating a sequence of images reflecting the narrative's progression and applying diverse visual effects, this alternative method offers a flexible and practical solution to cartoon generation challenges, providing an efficient and effective experience akin to video while retaining the magical appeal of visual storytelling. ...
Cancer et traitement: Domicile ou hôpital : Le choix du patient = Cancer and treatment : Home or hospital : The patient's choice
This book takes stock of the needs, expectations and challenges of caring for a cancer patient at home or in hospital. Indeed, if the number of cancer cases is increasing in Western countries, their management is evolving. The emphasis today is on a more humane announcement of the disease, less aggressive treatments and a better quality of life. Better informed patients often wish to be treated at home. As the survival time lengthens, hospital stays are reduced and chosen. Home care teams will soon be relying on the hospital more easily, thanks to specific communication methods and care networks. Here, all the stakeholders involved in the psycho-oncological approach to the patient discuss the choice of place and means of treatment for patients: from the general practitioner to the psychologist, from the oncologist to the mobile palliative care unit.
