Imaging in Treatment Planning for Sinonasal Diseases
Provides both basic and advanced information on the clinical presentation, imaging findings and treatment of sinonasal diseases. For each specific disease, the rationale underlying the treatment strategy is discussed and the imaging findings critical to the decision-making process are identified. This is an original approach and reflects the constant team effort at the editors' institute over the past 15 years to integrate clinical and radiological information with the aim of establishing the most appropriate treatment. Special emphasis is placed on the identification of clinical and imaging data that allow selection of an endonasal or an external approach in surgical candidates. The value of planning an integrated endoscopic and radiological follow-up in the different diseases is also thoroughly reviewed. Through the correlation of imaging with endoscopic or clinical findings, this book will enable radiologists to familiarise themselves with the "otorhinolaryngological world" and clinicians to understand more fully the significance of specific radiological findings. It will serve as an invaluable guide to the selection of imaging techniques.

Hydra = هايدرا
Forgery involves the use of advanced algorithms to replicate and distribute deceptive products across various categories, casting shadows of doubt on the authenticity of goods. Although counterfeit detection can be useful in identifying and mitigating fraudulent activities, the widespread presence of counterfeit goods poses significant dangers, undermining consumer confidence and brand reputation. To underscore the severity of this issue, consider instances such as fake luxury items flooding the market, counterfeit electronics compromising safety, or bogus pharmaceuticals endangering health. Addressing this issue is critical in maintaining the integrity of brands, safeguarding consumer well-being, and preserving trust in the marketplace. The ability to distinguish between authentic and counterfeit products is paramount in ensuring accurate decision-making and preventing the harmful consequences of fraudulent goods. This technological context underscores the urgency of developing and deploying cutting-edge solutions to combat the evolving landscape of product forgery. Hydra emerges as a robust solution, utilizing a comprehensive approach that includes extracting posts and images from search engine tools, and is integrated with AI models to detect forgery. The Hydra platform not only provides users with a powerful tool for detecting counterfeit products but also offers tangible benefits such as enhanced brand security, increased awareness about the prevalence of forgeries, and the opportunity to actively participate in a real-time community.

Holonic and multi-agent systems for manufacturing ; 2nd International conference on industrial applications of holonic and multi-agent systems, HoloMAS 2005, Copenhagen, Denmark, August 22-24, 2005, Proceedings
The challenge faced in today’s manufacturing and business environments is the question of how to satisfy increasingly stringent customer requirements while managing growing system complexity. For example, customers expect high-quality, customizable, low-cost products that can be delivered quickly. The systems that deliver these expectations are by nature distributed, concurrent, and stochastic, and, as a result, increasingly difficult to manage. Unfortunately, the traditional hierarchical, strictly centralized approach to control used in these domains is characteristically inflexible, fragile, and difficult to maintain. These shortcomings have led to the development of a new class of manufacturing and supply-chain decision-making approaches in recent years. Solutions based on these approaches usually explore a set of highly distributed decision-making units that are capable of autonomous operations while cooperating interactively to resolve larger problems. The units, referred to as agents in classical computer science and software engineering, or holons if physically integrated with the manufacturing hardware, interact by exchanging information. These units are motivated by arriving at local solutions as well as collaborating and sharing resources and goals in solving the overall problem in question collectively.
Historic construction and conservation : Materials, Systems and Damage
Takes a modern approach to the meaning of a heritage structure and its conservation. The historical evolution of conservation is briefly addressed, considering prominent individuals and cases; along with the history of construction, focusing on materials and related structural elements, with insight on the sizing rules adopted by masons. This explains structural decisions made during the construction process and allows comparison of scientific theories from the 18th century to modern understanding of limit analysis. Damage and collapse mechanisms for masonry construction, as the most widespread structural form for historical buildings, is described. Excess permanent loading and settlement is differentiated from environmental and anthropogenic actions such as earthquake or incorrect intervention.
