Fortifying the Future: Harnessing AI for Transformative Cybersecurity Training
by Shaila Rana Rhonda ChiconeThis comprehensive handbook explores how artificial intelligence is transforming cybersecurity training, with a specific focus on practical implementation strategies for organizations. The book examines AI-driven approaches including personalized learning systems, gamification techniques, and immersive training environments using virtual and augmented reality. It provides detailed guidance on creating adaptive learning programs that respond to individual learner needs while addressing emerging cybersecurity threats. Key topics include AI-powered personalization of training content, development of realistic threat scenarios, integration of VR/AR technologies for hands-on practice, and implementation of gamification elements to boost engagement. The book offers concrete strategies for organizations to leverage AI in building more effective and engaging cybersecurity training programs that adapt to evolving security challenges. This handbook distinguishes itself from existing cybersecurity literature by focusing specifically on AI's application in training and skill development, rather than general cybersecurity operations. It serves both as a practical guide for professionals implementing AI-driven training programs and as a valuable resource for researchers and educators in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and organizational learning.

Fortran 2018 with Parallel Programming
by Subrata RayThe programming language Fortran dates back to 1957 when a team of IBM engineers released the first Fortran Compiler. During the past 60 years, the language had been revised and updated several times to incorporate more features to enable writing clean and structured computer programs. The present version is Fortran 2018. Since the dawn of the computer era, there had been a constant demand for a “larger” and “faster” machine. To increase the speed there are three hurdles. The density of the active components on a VLSI chip cannot be increased indefinitely and with the increase of the density heat dissipation becomes a major problem. Finally, the speed of any signal cannot exceed the velocity of the light. However, by using several inexpensive processors in parallel coupled with specialized software and hardware, programmers can achieve computing speed similar to a supercomputer. This book can be used to learn the modern Fortran from the beginning and the technique of developing parallel programs using Fortran. It is for anyone who wants to learn Fortran. Knowledge beyond high school mathematics is not required. There is not another book on the market yet which deals with Fortran 2018 as well as parallel programming. FEATURES Descriptions of majority of Fortran 2018 instructions Numerical Model String with Variable Length IEEE Arithmetic and Exceptions Dynamic Memory Management Pointers Bit handling C-Fortran Interoperability Object Oriented Programming Parallel Programming using Coarray Parallel Programming using OpenMP Parallel Programming using Message Passing Interface (MPI) THE AUTHOR Dr Subrata Ray, is a retired Professor, Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, Kolkata.
Fortschritte in der nicht-invasiven biomedizinischen Signalverarbeitung mit ML
by Abdulhamit Subasi Saeed Mian Qaisar Humaira NisarDieses Buch präsentiert Fortschritte in der biomedizinischen Technologie. IoT und Machine Learning haben neue Ansätze im mobilen Gesundheitswesen ermöglicht, mit Fokus auf kontinuierlicher Überwachung kritischer Gesundheitssituationen. Intelligente Hybridisierung von IoT, drahtlosen Implantaten und Cloud-Computing wird derzeit von verschiedenen Einrichtungen entwickelt und getestet. Biomedizinische Signale und Bildmodalitäten werden nicht-invasiv erfasst und erfordern eine mehrkanalige Erfassung für wirksame Überwachung. Automatisierte Gesundheitssysteme basieren auf Signal- und Bildaufnahme, Vorverarbeitung, Merkmalsextraktion und Klassifikation. Das Buch beschreibt zeitgenössische Ansätze in der biomedizinischen Signalerfassung und -verarbeitung mit maschinellem und tiefem Lernen. Jedes Kapitel ist eigenständig und bietet eine umfassende Übersicht über Theorien, Algorithmen und Herausforderungen im Bereich moderner Gesundheitssysteme.
Fortune's Stroke (Belisarius Saga, Book #4)
by David Drake Eric FlintEVIL FROM BEYOND TIME RULES THE GREATEST EMPIRE ON EARTH! Link, the supercomputer from a future that should not exist, has used terror and gunpowder weapons to forge the Malwa Empire, harnessing the vast manpower of the Indian subcontinent and using the barbarian races of the periphery to bind the whole together. No power on Earth in the 6th century could stand against Link's evil. Aide, a human soul embodied in a jewel, has come back to halt evil's progress. Aide has no power but that of truth, but truth is the only power that could move the greatest general of the age, Belisarius. With his sword, his paladins, and his genius, Belisarius has turned the armies of Byzantium into a weapon capable of blunting the first assault of the Malwa hordes. Now, supported by allies from all the world yet free, Belisarius, with his wife and co-commander Antonina, faces overwhelming Malwa numbers in a ring that tightens about them. There is no room for maneuver and no safety in defeat. The armies of Good and Evil gathered on the fertile plains of Mesopotamia will decide the fate of the world --And the fate of all the future!
Forward Error Correction Based On Algebraic-Geometric Theory
by Thomas M. Chen Jafar A. Alzubi Omar A. AlzubiThis book covers the design, construction, and implementation of algebraic-geometric codes from Hermitian curves. Matlab simulations of algebraic-geometric codes and Reed-Solomon codes compare their bit error rate using different modulation schemes over additive white Gaussian noise channel model. Simulation results of Algebraic-geometric codes bit error rate performance using quadrature amplitude modulation (16QAM and 64QAM) are presented for the first time and shown to outperform Reed-Solomon codes at various code rates and channel models. The book proposes algebraic-geometric block turbo codes. It also presents simulation results that show an improved bit error rate performance at the cost of high system complexity due to using algebraic-geometric codes and Chase-Pyndiah's algorithm simultaneously. The book proposes algebraic-geometric irregular block turbo codes (AG-IBTC) to reduce system complexity. Simulation results for AG-IBTCs are presented for the first time.
Forward Error Correction via Channel Coding
by Orhan GaziThis book provides a comprehensive explanation of forward error correction, which is a vital part of communication systems. The book is written in such a way to make the subject easy and understandable for the reader. The book starts with a review of linear algebra to provide a basis for the text. The author then goes on to cover linear block codes, syndrome error correction, cyclic codes, Galois fields, BCH codes, Reed Solomon codes, and convolutional codes. Examples are provided throughout the text.
Forward Motion: From Bach To Bebop - A Corrective Approach To Jazz Phrasing

Fostering Computational Thinking Among Underrepresented Students in STEM: Strategies for Supporting Racially Equitable Computing
by Olatokunbo S. Fashola Jacqueline Leonard Jakita O. Thomas Roni Ellington Monica B. MitchellThis book broadly educates preservice teachers and scholars about current research on computational thinking (CT). More specifically, attention is given to computational algorithmic thinking (CAT), particularly among underrepresented K–12 student groups in STEM education. Computational algorithmic thinking (CAT)—a precursor to CT—is explored in this text as the ability to design, implement, and evaluate the application of algorithms to solve a variety of problems. Drawing on observations from research studies that focused on innovative STEM programs, including underrepresented students in rural, suburban, and urban contexts, the authors reflect on project-based learning experiences, pedagogy, and evaluation that are conducive to developing advanced computational thinking, specifically among diverse student populations. This practical text includes vignettes and visual examples to illustrate how coding, computer modeling, robotics, and drones may be used to promote CT and CAT among students in diverse classrooms.
