The dramatic search for spices through history, and how the pursuit of rare flavors changed and opened up our world. Spices have been highly valued since at least the Bronze Age, with the so-called Spice Trade, spanning Asia to the Mediterranean, developing from the late centuries BC. By the first century AD, Roman society spent vast sums fueling their demand for spices, importing black pepper from India and other exotics from further afield. Importing spices from the east was a daunting and dangerous task, whether by ship across the Indian Ocean, a perilous round journey of many months, or by caravan overland along the myriad routings of the Silk Road, or other trade routes. The search for spices in the 15th and 16th centuries led to Columbus' discovery of America (and the discovery of chili in Cuba and Hispaniola); Vasco da Gama's proving of the route to India around the coast of Africa; and Magellan's discovery of the western route to the Spice Islands.

Since its first appearance, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been ensuring revolutionary outcomes in the context of real-world problems. At this point, it has strong relations with biomedical and today’s intelligent systems compete with human capabilities in medical tasks. However, advanced use of artificial intelligence causes intelligent systems to be black-box. That situation is not good for building trustworthy intelligent systems in medical applications. For a remarkable amount of time, researchers have tried to solve the black-box issue by using modular additions, which have led to the rise of the term: interpretable artificial intelligence. As the literature matured (as a result of, in particular, deep learning), that term transformed into Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI). This book provides an essential edited work regarding the latest advancements in Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) for biomedical applications. It includes not only introductive perspectives but also applied touches and discussions regarding critical problems as well as future insights.

Embedding a vintage component, creating a professional looking home for a circuit board, or even designing a complex apparatus complete with a chassis – these and many other challenges turn into a stimulating pleasure with FreeCAD. Once you have internalized the basic processes, there are virtually no limits to your imagination. Starting to use a new software is never straightforward – especially with a tool as versatile as FreeCAD. Manageable, but at the same time easily usable individual components provide the starting point in this book. Putting these components together later results in assemblies. In the FreeCAD universe, a workable trajectory is demonstrated. The described procedure is illustrative so the examples are easily applied to custom tasks. The devices were made by the author and illustrated with photos. All examples, also the circuit board design, are electronically available in the supplemented materials online. Fully appropriate in the spirit of FreeCAD they can be modified, freely shared, and used.

Programming and Projects for the Minima and WiFi. Based on the low-cost 8-bit ATmega328P processor, the Arduino Uno R3 board is likely to score as the most popular Arduino family member so far, and this workhorse has been with us for many years. Recently, the new Arduino Uno R4 was released, based on a 48-MHz, 32-bit Cortex-M4 processor with a huge amount of SRAM and flash memory. Additionally, a higher-precision ADC and a new DAC are added to the design. The new board also supports the CAN Bus with an interface. The Arduino Uno R3 board probably ranks as the most popular Arduino family member to date and has been with us for many years. Based on the low-cost 8-bit ATmega328P processor, the Uno R3 has been used by students and hobbyists in many beginning and intermediate-level, low-speed projects requiring small to medium amounts of memory. Perhaps one of the attractive points of the Uno R3 was its powerful IDE and the simplicity of using it to develop projects in relatively short times. This book is about using these new boards to develop many different and interesting projects. The projects given in the book have been fully tested with just a handful of parts and external modules, which are available as a kit from Elektor.
