A beautifully illustrated journey into the hidden realm of insects. Life on Earth depends on the busy activities of insects, but global populations of these teeming creatures are currently under threat, with grave consequences for us all. Alien Worlds presents insects and other arthropods as you have never seen them before, explaining how they conquered the planet and why there are so many of them, and shedding light on the evolutionary marvels that enabled them to thrive. Blending glorious imagery with entertaining and informative science writing, this book takes you inside the hidden realm of insects and reveals why their fate carries profound implications for our own.

Innovative Engineering with AI Applications demonstrates how we can innovate in different engineering domains as well as how to make most business problems simpler by applying AI to them. This book presents a study on current developments, trends, and the future usage of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The impending research on AI applications—like improvements in agricultural systems, security systems, web services, etc.—has shown the usefulness of AI in engineering, as well as in Deep Learning tools and models. Engineering advancements combined with Artificial Intelligence, have resulted in a hyper-connected society in which smart devices are not only used to exchange data but also have increased capabilities. These devices are becoming more context-aware and smarter by the day. This timely book shows how organizations, who want to innovate and adapt, can enter new markets using expertise in various emerging technologies (e.g. data, AI, system architecture, blockchain), and can build technology-based business models, a culture of innovation, and high-performing networks. The book specifies an approach that anyone can use to better architect, design, and more effectively build things that are technically novel, useful, and valuable, and to do so efficiently, on-time, and repeatable. This book takes foundational steps toward analyzing stress among teaching professionals using Deep Learning algorithms.

For millennia humans have used visible marks to communicate information. Modern examples of conventional graphical symbols include written language, and non-linguistic symbol systems such as mathematical symbology or traffic signs. The latter kinds of symbols convey information without reference to language. This book presents the first systematic study of graphical symbol systems, including a history of graphical symbols from the Paleolithic onwards, a taxonomy of non-linguistic systems – systems that are not tied to spoken language – and a survey of more than 25 such systems. One important feature of many non-linguistic systems is that, as in written language, symbols may be combined into complex “messages” if the information the system represents is itself complex. To illustrate, the author presents an in-depth comparison of two systems that had very similar functions, but very different structure: European heraldry and Japanese kamon.

A must-have reference guide for all breastfeeding parents, lactation consultants, and healthcare providers who work with parents. Nonprescription medications and products are used by breastfeeding parents more often than prescription drugs, but not all over-the-counter (OTC) products state whether they are safe to use while breastfeeding. The truth is that everyday products commonly recommended and used can be harmful for an infant when passed through breastmilk. Whether curing a headache, taming allergies, or taking an herbal supplement, navigating the packed shelves of everyday products can be difficult. In this reference guide, pharmacist Dr. Frank J. Nice provides simple guidelines for making safe decisions about a variety of products. Multiple easy-to-read tables contain clear answers to the question: "Is this safe to use while breastfeeding a baby?" Each table contains a clear "OK" or "UNSAFE" designation for every product or ingredient, as well as a rating following Dr. Thomas Hale's Lactation Risk Categories.

It's a bitter truth that we live in an age of vulnerable systems, where our existence is completely dependent on them. Cyber attacks can cause greater damage than actual war losses for a country that is unprepared for them. After several incidents that impacted social order, governments have realized this fact. During a cyber attack, the city will be paralyzed, food supply will be interrupted, and medical care will be disrupted. There would be human casualties and the worst of the people would emerge if fuel or electricity were unavailable. The age of cyber missiles has arrived, and as Dale Peterson pointed out, our infrastructure systems are insecure by design. We need to learn how to secure all operational technology, it's crucial, and it can only be done by understanding the bits and bytes of these operations. In this book, you'll learn Cybersecurity for Operational Technology, how to secure all types of Operational Technology, and how to save lives! For IT Cybersecurity professionals who would like to learn about OT Cybersecurity, this book is the best fit for engineers and managers alike.

This book is about data fundamentals. The author describes in an accessible manner the fundamentals of what data is, the difference between information and data, and the pragmatic application of abstract data modeling techniques in the day-to-day business. The data management techniques are described both from a scientific, theoretical perspective and from an a practical, application-related perspective. The theoretical concepts are illustrated with concrete examples. This combination of theory and practical application provides an own unique signature to this data management book, which distinguishes it from many other books. The field of Data Science is extensive and pulls together several disciplines as I will demonstrate shortly. A full account of what Data Science is, how it works, and all the techniques that are involved is beyond the scope of this chapter. Several definitions of Data Science are currently in use.
