Python is used in a wide range of geoscientific applications, such as in processing images for remote sensing, in generating and processing digital elevation models, and in analyzing time series. This book introduces methods of data analysis in the geosciences using Python that include basic statistics for univariate, bivariate, and multivariate data sets, time series analysis, and signal processing; the analysis of spatial and directional data; and image analysis. The text includes numerous examples that demonstrate how Python can be used on data sets from the earth sciences. Codes are available online through GitHub. The book Python Recipes for Earth Sciences is designed to help undergraduate and postgraduate students, doctoral students, post-doctoral researchers, and professionals alike in finding quick solutions to common data analysis problems in the earth sciences. It provides a minimal amount of theoretical background and demonstrates the application of all described methods via examples. The present book contains Python scripts that can be used to solve typical problems in the earth sciences via simple statistics, time series analysis, geostatistics, and image processing. It also demonstrates the application of selected advanced techniques of data analysis, such as nonlinear time series analysis, adaptive filtering, bootstrapping, and terrain analysis. In order to derive the maximum benefit from this book, the reader will need to have access to the Python software and be able to execute the recipes while reading the book. The Python recipes yield various graphs on the screen that are not shown in the printed book. The tutorial-style book does, however, contain numerous figures, thereby making it possible to go through the text without actually running Python on a computer. I developed the recipes using Python 3.8.8, though most recipes will also work with earlier software releases, but not with Python 2.

What does every new developer do when they are first learning to program? They print out strings to their terminal. It's how we learn! But printing out to the terminal isn't what you do with most professional applications. In those cases, you log in. Sometimes, you log into multiple locations at once. These logs may serve as an audit trail for compliance purposes or help the engineers debug what went wrong. Python Logging teaches you how to log in the Python programming language. Python is one of the most popular programming languages in the world. Python comes with a logging module that makes logging easy. You don’t need to be a programmer or engineer to use this book, but it helps. The primary target is people who want to learn about what logging in Python is and how to use it effectively. If you understand the basics of Python, then you’ll be even better off!

"Just pull that from the API" they said. "It'll be easy!" they said. How can you build the best web/mobile/client-side application, when the APIs you need to work with are poorly documented, struggle with sketchy performance, or generally make you feel like you're on a dangerous expidition into an ancient tomb, with hidden booby traps, doors operated by archaic runes, where one wrong move triggers swinging battering rambs to wreck your day into a wall of spikes. This whole premise of an API client-server relationship is inherently fraught with danger, because going over the network for anything can lead to unexpected errors, unexpected change, connection problems... hell a rat could have chewed through a cable. This book aims to help you not just react to these problems, but ideally prempt them and build an application that laughs in the face of danger. Just like with Build APIs You Won’t Hate, this book will take a non-academic, easy-to-read approach to some pretty complex topics around HTTP interactions, versioning, client-caching, state management, differences between how you interact with RPC, REST and GraphQL, using JSON Schema for local validation, and all sorts of other awesome stuff that nobody ever bothered to mention to you.

Business decisions in any context—operational, tactical, or strategic—can have considerable consequences. Whether the outcome is positive and rewarding or negative and damaging to the business, its employees, and stakeholders is unknown when action is approved. These decisions are usually made under the proverbial cloud of uncertainty. With this practical guide, data analysts, data scientists, and business analysts will learn why and how maximizing positive consequences and minimizing negative ones requires three forms of rich information: Descriptive analytics explores the results from an action—what has already happened. Predictive analytics focuses on what could happen. The third, prescriptive analytics, informs us what should happen in the future. While all three are important for decision-makers, the primary focus of this book is on the third: prescriptive analytics. This book is intended for people involved in demand measurement and forecasting; predictive modeling; pricing analytics including elasticity estimation; customer satisfaction assessment; market and advertisement research; new product development and research; capital investment decisions; and any place where these analyses are input into major decisions at the operational, tactical, and strategic levels. This book will provide background for Prescriptive Analytics by explaining the intuition underlying analytic concepts; developing the necessary mathematical and statistical analytic principles; demonstrating concepts using Python in JupyterLab notebooks; and illustrating analytical concepts with use-cases.

Tasked with building an API for your company but don't have a clue where to start? Taken over an existing API and hate it? Built your own API and still hate it? This book is for you. API development is becoming increasingly common for server-side developers thanks to the rise of front-end jаvascript frameworks, iPhone applications, and API-centric architectures. It might seem like grabbing stuff from a data source and shoving it out as JSON would be easy, but surviving changes in business logic, database schema updates, new features, or deprecated endpoints can be a nightmare. By passing on some best practices and general good advice you can hit the ground running with API development, combined with some horror stories and how they were overcome/avoided/averted. This book will discuss the theory of designing and building APIs in any language or framework, with this theory applied in PHP-based examples. This book will discuss the theory of designing and building APIs in any language or framework. This theory will be applied in examples built mostly in PHP, with some Ruby and Python too. The book will not be too code-heavy regardless, since reading code is no fun. By the end of this book, you will have built an API that can create, read, update, delete things, handle searching, and do everything else a good Hypermedia API needs to do.

The book aims to provide an integrated communication platform for researchers from a wide range of topics including information technology, communication science, applied mathematics, Computer Science, advanced material science, and engineering. The maturing Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology can produce diverse images through text prompts, useful for scene creation, conceptual modeling, and virtual illustrations. As AI art gains traction, artists increasingly employ AI image generation tools to spark or augment their creative process. This study aims to compare various AI image generation tools’ applications across fields, exploring factors like image composition and user evaluations to aid tool selection. Five representative AI image generation tools were chosen: Midjourney, Leonardo.AI, Deep AI, Stable Diffusion, and Playground AI. Through literature review, factors such as clarity, color, contrast, lighting, and composition were identified as criteria for judging image quality. Differences among these factors across tools influence generated image style, quality, and diversity.A questionnaire survey was conducted to understand image characteristics generated by different AI tools, allowing respondents to evaluate them. Subjects’ preferences and evaluations of AI-generated images may vary, influenced by their educational background and personal inclinations. A comprehensive literature review highlights differences and similarities in AI image generation tool applications across fields, delineating their respective advantages and limitations. This study’s findings offer insights into AI tool applicability across domains and inform users’ tool selection.

Learn how to create and release an embedded system in a fast and reliable manner. This book will help you build and release a commercially viable product that meets industry standards for quality. The book is not just about code: it covers non-code artifacts such as software processes, requirements, software documentation, continuous integration, design reviews, and code reviews. While specifically targeting microcontroller applications, the processes in this book can be applied to most software projects, big or small. Additionally, the book provides an open-source C++ framework that can be used to quick start any embedded project. This framework has an OSAL (OS Abstraction Layer) and essential middleware that is needed for many embedded systems. Using a hands-on approach of building-and-testing the software application first allows you to develop a significant amount of production quality code even before the hardware is available, dramatically reducing the start-to-release duration for a project. As you follow the recipes in this book, you will learn essential software development processes, perform just in time design, create testable modules, and incorporate continuous integration (CI) into your day-to-day developer workflow. The end-result is quality code that is maintainable and extensible, and can be reused for other projects, even when presented with changing or new requirements. The Embedded Project Cookbook is focused on the how of developing embedded software. The example code and framework code in this cookbook are written in C and C++, but mostly in C++. Nevertheless, if you have experience writing software in C, or a strongly typed programming language, you should be able to follow the examples. For mid-level developers and software leads who are looking to get up and running without all the underlying theories. This book is also for professionals looking to learn how to productize a concept or technology and sell the results to a customer.
