Adaptive and Personalized Semantic Web
Web Personalization can be defined as any set of actions that can tailor the Web experience to a particular user or set of users. To achieve effective personalization, organizations must rely on all available data, including the usage and click-stream data (reflecting user behaviour), the site content, the site structure, domain knowledge, as well as user demographics and profiles. In addition, efficient and intelligent techniques are needed to mine this data for actionable knowledge, and to effectively use the discovered knowledge to enhance the users' Web experience.
Active Rheology Control of Cementitious Materials
The research presented here develops a new method of actively controlling the rheology of fresh concrete during casting operations by incorporating specially designed responsive components. This results in real-time changes to the rheological behaviour of the cementitious material, allowing the user to intervene actively after the cementitious material has left the mixing phase. This newly gained agility contributes to increased processing speed and placement reliability in the case of traditional casting methods and can also facilitate advanced 3D concrete printing. The different routes followed to achieve this Active Rheology Control are explained within.

Abord clinique des malades de lalcool : En médecine générale = Clinical approach to patients with alcoholism : In general medicine
Les médecins généralistes sont destinataires d’un grand nombre d’informations sur l’alcool, son usage et ses conséquences pathologiques immédiates ou potentielles. Ces connaissances, émanant de médecins le plus souvent hospitaliers et spécialisés, ont conduit à des recommandations destinées à guider les médecins généralistes dans le repérage des malades de l’alcool et leur prise en charge thérapeutique. Cependant, la pertinence et l’applicabilité de la plupart de ces recommandations sont peu ou mal évaluées dans la pratique de la médecine générale. De ce fait, les médecins généralistes, parfois à l’encontre des recommandations, sont amenés à élaborer des concepts et des pratiques propres à leur clientèle et à leurs conditions de travail. L’originalité de ce livre vient de la confrontation des connaissances et des pratiques de deux médecins, soignant des malades de l’alcool dans des structures différentes.
A short guide to clinical pharmacokinetics
Consists of seven chapters that cover various aspects of pharmacokinetics and its clinical applications. The chapters are structured to provide clear objectives and keywords are bolded throughout the text to facilitate understanding. The topics covered include the significance of pharmacokinetics in clinical practice, factors affecting pharmacokinetic parameters, pharmacokinetic drug interactions, therapeutic drug monitoring, dosage adjustment in different population groups, the influence of hepatic diseases on pharmacokinetics and the impact of pharmacogenomics on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
A guide to dental sedation
This concise guide bridges the gap between classroom instruction and the actual application of various methods of sedation. The considerations for each dental specialty are covered, with special focus on pediatric and special needs patients. Chapters summarize the medications used in sedation, including dosages, warnings, and reversal agents, and sections on nitrous oxide discuss how to administer it without harm to the provider.
A Classical Introduction to Cryptography : Applications for Communications Security
This advanced-level textbook covers conventional cryptographic primitives and cryptanalysis of these primitives; basic algebra and number theory for cryptologists; public key cryptography and cryptanalysis of these schemes; and other cryptographic protocols, e.g. secret sharing, zero-knowledge proofs and undeniable signature schemes.
A Beginner's Guide to Sketching Buildings & Landscapes : Perspective and Proportions for Drawing Architecture, Gardens and More! (With over 500 illustrations)
Provides dozens of examples showing you how to establish accurate perspective guidelines and proportions for your initial pencil sketches, setting your drawings up to succeed right from the start. If a sketch's perspective and proportions are correct, your finished work will look crisp and beautiful. If not, you'll have a frustrating time trying to correct the problems at a later stage--and the finished work will never look quite right. A Beginner's Guide to Sketching Buildings & Landscapes is here to help you avoid those frustrations and set up your composition for a finished piece that will make you proud. The detailed step-by-step lessons in this indispensable guide teach you how to: Establish a composition's point of view correctly / Locate the horizon line, dividing land and sky / Break down complicated scenes into simple component shapes / Create the right relationship between foreground and background / Express 3D imagery using 2-point and 3-point perspective
250 Things a Landscape Architect Should Know
In this book 50 landscape architects from Europe, North and South America, Asia and Australia each give five responses. These include practitioners and teachers, young start-ups as well as internationally established firms.
