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.

Software leaders, directors, and managers of all types need to know about software testing. It can be a tough climb up the mountain of technical jargon. Engineers seem to be speaking a language all their own sometimes. Most books on testing are deep in the weeds with technical terms and techniques that simply aren't applicable even to technical managers. This book provides a high-level perspective on broad topics in a friendly, easy-to-absorb style. Get started and up to speed quickly with immediately useful, actionable guidance. Guidance on team structure, best practices and even common pitfalls will save you time and money, while automation and code reuse will provide exponential value. There's a gap of knowledge between engineers and their managers; they are almost speaking different languages and the jargon can be confusing. There's a lot to know about the world of testing. Test from the Top delivers quick, concise guidance to bridge the gap! It offers clear, actionable steps and is a must have for busy leaders who need quick answers. For Software managers, Lead Software Engineers, Tech Directors, CTOs, Project Managers, software leaders of all kinds. These leaders understand the value of testing, but have not yet built out extensive automation or team structure. Either new to testing concepts or modernizing systems or looking to improve software quality.

The MATLAB tools have evolved from scripts, to Apps and at present to Live code. The Live package is preferred because it combines text and equations with MATLAB code all in a single site. The results of that code, formerly shown separately, also appear in line and in this way the user can vary the parameters of the specific problem and explore immediately how the solutions vary in response. Indeed, the aim of this book is to use the ensemble of symbolic and numeric tools available in the MATLAB suite of programs to illustrate representative numerical solutions to about one hundred problems spanning several physics topics. The student typically works through the demonstration and alters the inputs using a Live script. This tool combines text, equations and solutions as figures and numerical or symbolic output all in a single Live script. The parametric variation is enabled using the Live tools of “edit fields”, “dropdown menus” and numerical “sliders”. MATLAB is a good vehicle for the computational tasks. It has a compiler, editor and debugger which are very useful and user friendly. The HELP utility is very extensive as is the complete documentation set. The MATLAB language is similar to a modern C++ or Python language. Indeed code conversion between MATLAB and Python is available which expands the pool of possible users of this text. MATLAB is a vector/matrix language which makes coding simple. Data is easily imported and exported in a variety of formats. Many tools are included with MATLAB. That fact drives the decision to use MATLAB tools to avoid unnecessary algebraic tedium in this text. Most problems are solved explicitly using the symbolic math tools. In general numerical results use the extensive MATLAB library of special functions and of numeric solvers of ordinary and differential equations.

Statistics is a seemingly very mysterious yet necessary subject at graduate level. Many graduate students are required to use statistics to carry out their research, be their study in science, medicine, engineering, business, or social sciences. Most universities provide basic courses in statistics for students at undergraduate and graduate level, including research design and the analysis of data. However, most courses are not long enough to cover statistics beyond a scattering of basic tests, and more advanced statistical methods are usually not explained in such a way as to be understood by novice statistics students, especially those without a mathematical leaning. In common with other books in the ‘Statistics without Mathematics’ series, each test is accompanied by a worked example. In particular, April Liu gives a running explanation of how the R functions are used, so that relatively new users of R should be able to dip into any chapter and reuse the code therein to examine their own datasets. She also recommends reading materials should the reader wish to study a test in greater depth. It should be emphasized that this book keeps it light, superficial even, in order for the test user to get started on data analysis with advanced statistical methods without becoming bogged down in theory and equations. April explains any complexities of the test in simple language which a non-statistician can easily follow.
