Laser Scanning Systems in Highway and Safety Assessment: Analysis Of Highway Geometry Form Lidar (Advances in Science, Technology & Innovation)
by Biswajeet Pradhan Maher Ibrahim SameenThis book aims to promote the core understanding of a proper modelling of road traffic accidents by deep learning methods using traffic information and road geometry delineated from laser scanning data. The first two chapters of the book introduce the reader to laser scanning technology with creative explanation and graphical illustrations, review and recent methods of extracting geometric road parameters. The next three chapters present different machine learning and statistical techniques applied to extract road geometry information from laser scanning data. Chapters 6 and 7 present methods for modelling roadside features and automatic road geometry identification in vector data. After that, this book goes on reviewing methods used for road traffic accident modelling including accident frequency and injury severity of the traffic accident (Chapter 8). Then, the next chapter explores the details of neural networks and their performance in predicting the traffic accidents along with a comparison with common data mining models. Chapter 10 presents a novel hybrid model combining extreme gradient boosting and deep neural networks for predicting injury severity of road traffic accidents. This chapter is followed by deep learning applications in modelling accident data using feed-forward, convolutional, recurrent neural network models (Chapter 11). The final chapter (Chapter 12) presents a procedure for modelling traffic accident with little data based on the concept of transfer learning. This book aims to help graduate students, professionals, decision makers, and road planners in developing better traffic accident prediction models using advanced neural networks.
Lasers
by Jeanette LeardiLasers are a special type of light. They can cut through steal, look inside the brain of a fly, and help is explore hidden places. They are used in medical operations, at rock concerts, and in everyday items such as DVDs. How do lasers work? How have they become such a huge part of our lives in less than fifty years? Read this book to find out. (Includes 6 copies of the title, Teacher's Guide and Comprehension Question Card)

Latin America
by Heidi Hayes Jacobs Michal L. Levasseur Brenda RandolphThe ancient peoples of Latin America built great civilizations from the riches of their land. Today, their descendants have mixed with newcomers from around the world to create a modern society with new traditions.
Latin America and Canada: Adventures In Time And Place Middle School
by James A. Banks Walter C. Parker Gloria Ladson-Billings Barry K. Beyer Gloria Contreras Jean Craven Mary A. McfarlandThe surface of the earth is made up of land and water. Globes show which parts of the earth's surface are land and which parts are water. Large bodies of land are called continents. There are seven continents: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica.
Latin America and Its People
by Mark Wasserman Cheryl E. MartinOffering a balance of social, political, environmental, and cultural history, Latin America and Its People looks at the whole of Latin America in a thematic rather than country-by-country approach. This engaging textbook emphasizes the stories of the diverse people of Latin America, their everyday lives, and the issues that affected them. Written by two of the leading scholars in the field, Cheryl Martin and Mark Wasserman, Latin America and Its People presents a fresh interpretative survey of Latin American history from pre-Columbian times to the beginning of the twenty-first century. It examines the many institutions that Latin Americans have built and rebuilt - families, governments, churches, political parties, labor unions, schools, and armies - and it does so through the lives of the people who forged these institutions and later altered them to meet the changing circumstances. Emphasizes the story of the diverse people of Latin America, their everyday lives, and the issues and forces that affect them.
Latin America and the Caribbean
by David L. Clawson Benjamin F. TillmanRespected by scholars for its currency, clarity, authority, and rich visual and map program, Latin America and the Caribbean: Lands and Peoples elucidates the commonalities in this highly diverse, rapidly changing region, making it more comprehensive than ever for students and instructors. The sixth edition has been meticulously updated in order to take into account recent changes in the region and to more strongly emphasize environmental concerns.
Latin America: An Interpretive History (Ninth Edition)
by Julie A. Charlip E. Bradford BurnsFor courses in the History of Latin America and Modern Latin America. Organized thematically, this text offers a clear narrative that weaves the story of Latin America together with coverage of broader themes and regional differences. In addition to the great diversity within Latin America, there is also a common theme that encompasses the sweep of history in the region. The original author of the text, E. Bradford Burns, cast the problem as the paradox that poor people inhabit rich lands. The reason for this paradox is that a tiny group of elites confuses their nation's well-being with their own. When this text was first published in 1972, there were very few texts on Latin America, and the ones that existed largely read like catalogs of historical events. Although there are others now, this textbook is still a leader in the field because of its clear thematic organization and a central narrative that tells a cohesive story, albeit with many variations. Co-author Julie A. Charlip is committed to continuing the Burns legacy. Despite changes in research, interpretations, and theories, Burns's basic premise is still the most accurate and succinct, providing the best framework for approaching the region.
