Soil-Water, Agriculture, and Climate Change: Exploring Linkages (Water Science and Technology Library #113)
by Pankaj Kumar Gupta Swatantra Kumar Dubey Prakash Kumar Jha Aliva Nanda Vivek GuptaThis book presents an exploration of linkages among soil-water, agriculture, and climate change with a special focus on thematic areas for assessment, mitigation, and management of natural resources under climate change conditions. This book covers advances in modelling approaches, including machine learning (ML)/ artificial intelligence (AI) applications; GIS and remote sensing; sensors; impacts of climate change on agriculture; subsurface water; contaminants; and socio-economic impacts, which are lacking in a more comprehensive manner in the previous titles. This book encompasses updated information as well as future directions for researchers working in the field of management of natural resources. The goal of this book is to provide scientific evidence to researchers and policymakers and end-to-end value chain practitioners which may help in reducing the overall adverse impacts of climate change on water resources and the related mitigation strategies. This book focuses on the knowledge, modern tools, and techniques, i.e., machine learning, artificial intelligence, etc. for soil-water, agriculture, and climate change. Further, nature-based solutions for management of natural resources with special targets on contaminants, extreme events, disturbances, etc. will be targeted. The book provides readers with the enhanced knowledge for application of engineering principles and economic and regulatory constraints to determine a soil-water, agriculture production action strategy, and select appropriate technologies to implement the strategy for a given data set at a site. It would also cover the application of laboratory, modeling, numerical methods for determination and forecasting of climate change impacts, agriculture production, pollution, soil health, etc. Overall, it provides hydrologists, environmental engineers, administrators, policy makers, consultants, and industrial experts with essential support in effective management of soils health, agricultural productions, and mitigation of extreme climatic events.
Sokrates und die Künstliche Intelligenz Talos: Ein Dialog über die Unzulänglichkeiten algorithmischer Vernunft
by Kyriakos SidiropoulosDas Sachbuch stellt die Debatte über künstliche Intelligenz in einen philosophischen Rahmen und nutzt dabei den Dialog als narrative Form. Im heutigen Athen stellen Sokrates und seine Schüler Platon und Aristoteles einem fiktiven KI-System namens Talos eine Reihe von Fragen, die die Grenzen des menschlichen und maschinellen Denkens ausloten. Der Dialog lädt zur Reflexion über grundlegende Themen wie die Natur des Wissens, des Bewusstseins, der Ethik und der menschlichen und maschinellen Autonomie ein. Das Buch bietet nicht nur Einblicke in die Chancen und Herausforderungen intelligenter Maschinen, sondern regt auch zur kritischen Diskussion über die ethischen und praktischen Konsequenzen ihrer Entwicklung an. Ein inspirierender Beitrag für alle, die philosophische und gesellschaftliche Fragen der künstlichen Intelligenz besser verstehen und mitdiskutieren möchten.

Solaris 8 Administrator's Guide: Help for Network Administrators
by Dr Paul Andrew WattersThe Solaris operating system, along with related Sun products likeJava, is one of the most reliable and scalable platforms on whichto build e-commerce products, and on which to support all networkedservices. Yet, one problem that potential users face is finding outmore information about what Solaris offers. In a sense, they want toknow how much technical work is involved in migrating to Solaris,and what kind of philosophy Solaris is based on.To answer these questions, Solaris 8 Administrator's Guidecovers all aspects of deploying Solaris as a network server, includingboth basic and advanced network services. Given newfound interest inSolaris as an enterprise network operating system, this guide is aimedsquarely at supporting enterprise-level services. It's written forexperienced network administrators who want an objective guide tonetworking with Solaris, and covers installation on both the Inteland Sparc platforms. With it, you will learn how to setup Solaris asa file server, application server, and database server.In its coverage of advanced topics, Solaris 8 Administrator's Guideoffers examples of configuration files and the installation of third-partysoftware packages. This comprehensive book also contains more conceptualand difficult material that is absent from other Solaris reference manuals.At all points, emphasis is placed on issues like evaluating the security,scalability, and reliability of specific software packages--at the expenseof providing detailed coverage of every available package.The book covers the practical experience and new skills needed to understandthe impact of new services and new software products on existing server systems.Author Paul Watters--a recognized authority on Solaris--avoids so-called"historical" services, like UUCP, which can easily fill chapters but arenot commonly found in today's production environments. Indeed, he doesn'tbother to provide an in-depth history of Solaris or UNIX at all, assumingthat you can find this material elsewhere. Instead, the practical focus ison supporting relevant contemporary networking technologies.Solaris 8 Administrator's Guide provides you with a third-party viewthat not only praises Solaris, but is critical and realistic in its assessment.This book is for experienced Solaris Administrators as well as and those lookingto migrate to this operating system.

Soliton Coding for Secured Optical Communication Link
by Iraj Sadegh Amiri Sayed Ehsan Alavi Sevia Mahdaliza IdrusNonlinear behavior of light such as chaos can be observed during propagation of a laser beam inside the microring resonator (MRR) systems. This Brief highlights the design of a system of MRRs to generate a series of logic codes. An optical soliton is used to generate an entangled photon. The ultra-short soliton pulses provide the required communication signals to generate a pair of polarization entangled photons required for quantum keys. In the frequency domain, MRRs can be used to generate optical millimetre-wave solitons with a broadband frequency of 0-100 GHz. The soliton signals are multiplexed and modulated with the logic codes to transmit the data via a network system. The soliton carriers play critical roles to transmit the data via an optical communication link and provide many applications in secured optical communications. Therefore, transmission of data information can be performed via a communication network using soliton pulse carriers. A system known as optical multiplexer can be used to increase the channel capacity and security of the signals.
