Edge Intelligence and Analytics for Internet of Things
by Brij B. Gupta Govind P. Gupta Kwok Tai Chui Kumkum GargEdge computing and intelligence is a new technical discipline that researches and develops theories, methods, technologies, and application systems for enabling fast and efficient processing and intelligent decision-making using the big data generated from the Internet of Things (IoT) system. The edge computing and intelligence–enabled IoT system helps in alleviating the resource limitations of IoT devices and facilitates large-scale deployment of IoT systems for different applications such as smart cities, smart grids, smart homes, smart healthcare systems, smart video surveillance, and e-healthcare.Due to the deployment of the IoT devices in the open environment and their interaction with other IoT devices through unstable and unreliable wireless channels, as well as the placement of edge nodes near IoT systems, IoT devices offer many chances for malicious attackers to compromise them through collusion attacks, denial-of-service attacks, and many other types of attacks. Analysis of the network traffic and IoT data at the edge nodes using the latest artificial intelligence techniques will address a number of issues, such as anomaly detection in IoT data, data poisoning attacks, and other security and privacy issues related to IoT systems. In this book, we will provide an overview of the fundamental concepts of edge computing, edge intelligence using advanced machine- and deep-learning models, the architecture of edge computing–based IoT systems, and edge computing–based cyber threat intelligence solutions for IoT systems.

Educational Leadership and Critical Realism (Routledge Studies in Critical Realism)
by Anthony Thorpe Jean Pierre Elonga MboyoAdopting a critical realist approach to educational leadership, this book shows how applied theory can contribute to the development of mechanisms allowing for the effective leadership of organisations. Through an examination of pertinent theories and debates in educational leadership and critical realist thought, it moves to offer demonstrations of practical uses of critical realism that include the transformation of reflective practice, the development and practice of leadership, and the formulation as well as the enactment of policy. Considering the role that realist thought can play in the resolution of educational crises in sub-Saharan Africa and bridging the gap between research and practice, the authors argue that change is possible and that it can be initiated from within the field of educational leadership. Centred on a vision of social justice for human flourishing instead of operating within narrow and mechanistic pre-occupations, Educational Leadership and Critical Realism will appeal to scholars across the social sciences, as well as to practitioners and policymakers in the field of education.

Edward Albee and the Emergence of Difference and Diversity in US and World Theatre: 1950s-1970s (Routledge Studies in Edward Albee and American Theatre)
by Les Gray David A. CrespyThis collection of essays seeks to present articles that examine the early ventures of the 1960s and 1970s in the progressive theatre of identity with a new contemporary view, considering the intersection of race, gender, ethnicity, economic class, and sexual orientation.In 1964, Edward Albee and his producers, Richard Barr and Clinton Wilder, produced Funnyhouse of a Negro by Adrienne Kennedy, and Dutchman by Amiri Baraka (then, Leroi Jones), and by 1968, had produced the seminal gay drama, The Boys in the Band by Mart Crowley. No other major American playwright of this period (including Thornton Wilder, Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams, or William Inge) produced the plays of their junior colleagues with a specific focus on difference and diversity. For most scholars, these productions and Albee’s involvement in them are a somewhat obscure footnote in theatre history. But they remain important for their early support of diverse voices. Even as Albee’s career was skyrocketing, he and his producers had begun a producing project that sowed the seeds of diversity, equity, and inclusion in a decidedly anti-racist, decolonizing, and progressive move that still resonates powerfully today. While this book is not a hagiography and does not intend to paint Albee as without his own critical failings in terms of diversity in his own work and that of others, this volume of theatre history, dramatic literature, and performance essays takes a detailed, critical approach to Albee’s engagement with other initiating plays, productions, producers, theatre companies, theatre artists, and performances in the United States that pushed the dial toward difference and diversity in the late 1950s through the late 1970s, beginning the formations of new theatres of identity across the United States.This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars in theatre and performance studies.
Edward IV (Routledge Historical Biographies)
by Hannes KleinekeDrawing together both recent research and original sources, this concise and accessible biography reassesses the debates surrounding the life of King Edward IV.The reign of King Edward IV occupies a pivotal place in late medieval English history, marking the transition from a medieval to a renaissance monarchy, yet there has been much controversy over the King's character. Was Edward a vain and self-indulgent playboy, or was his life cut tragically short? Offering readers insight into the latest scholarship, this second edition has been updated and revised to include a wider consideration of the role of women at Edward’s court, including his mother Cecily of York, as well as Edward’s own attitude to women and family. Kleineke also includes an extended discussion of Edward’s legacy, the government of England in the 1470s, and the cultural history of the period.As fascinating a character now as he was for Shakespeare over four centuries ago, Edward IV remains essential reading for all students of late medieval England, the Wars of the Roses, and all those interested in the history of monarchy more broadly.
Effective Development Co-operation: New Evidence from the Global South (Routledge Explorations in Development Studies)
by Debapriya Bhattacharya Towfiqul Islam Khan Najeeba Mohammed AltafThis book considers how development cooperation principles and practices can be made more inclusive and impactful. Amplifying voices from across the global south, the book combines key thematic discussions with new case studies spanning three continents and three key sectors: agriculture, education, and social protection. Global governance is at a crossroads, and modalities of foreign aid delivery are under stress as international development cooperation continues to lose political traction in provider countries.Presenting a novel and nuanced understanding of the dynamics shaping the global development landscape, this book considers the strategic issues influencing development partnerships and outcomes. It consolidates cross-country policy insights from the global south, based on sectoral experiences shaped by contextual realities. The authors adapt the "Moderator-Mediator" framework as a means of examining the contextual factors shaping development partnerships and consequently leading to “successful” development outcomes in a specific sector at the country level.This book holds special relevance in the current political climate, where the future of development financing is increasingly contested. Global development researchers and students will benefit from the book’s ingenious blending of sector-specific insights and broader discussions of the themes underpinning contemporary development cooperation debates.

Effects of Microgravity on Terrestrial Born Biological Systems (Off-world Science & Engineering Series)
by Michael D. HollowayMicrogravity profoundly impacts terrestrial biological systems, altering cellular functions, metabolic processes, and physiological responses. This book explores the diverse effects of microgravity on cellular and molecular biology, immune function, cancer research, and microbiome dynamics. We examine changes in cell morphology, gene expression, protein synthesis, and metabolic pathways, shedding light on how gravitational forces shape biological processes. The implications extend beyond space exploration, offering insights into regenerative medicine, biotechnology, and disease modeling. By leveraging microgravity research, we can develop innovative therapeutic strategies and biomanufacturing techniques for both space-based and Earth-bound applications. As humanity prepares long-duration missions, understanding these biological adaptations is critical for advancing space medicine and ensuring astronaut health, while simultaneously unlocking new frontiers in biomedical research.Maybe we will be able to synthesize self-replicating molecules capable of self-replication, catalysis, and evolution within an appropriate environment. We haven’t been able to do so on Earth, perhaps due to the constraints of gravity?Making amazing stuff in space is gravy, just have to take “it” out…
Efficient Mutual Fund Markets: A Global Perspective (Routledge Focus on Economics and Finance)
by Jacek Leśkow Stanisław Urbański Bartosz Rymkiewicz Bartosz StawiarskiThis book covers a new and innovative approach to the issue of investment portfolio efficiency from the perspective of a large institutional investor. It discusses the challenges relating to changes in returns on the international stock market, with particular emphasis on investments.Instead of focusing on just one designated market, the book examines four diversified, developed markets, and models the Polish market as a representative of emerging markets. The authors argue that the current market for available financial instruments, mainly derivatives, may be an example of a partially complete market. With such assumptions, they test selected markets, assuming that a representative investor, such as an investment fund, makes rational decisions and uses all available financial instruments. The research conducted in the book is unique in its assumption that investors form portfolios that consider the structure of the company's financial results. The significant impact that the financial crisis in the United States since 2007, the COVID-19 pandemic, and Russia's aggression against Ukraine have had on investors' decisions is also discussed.The book will find an audience among researchers, scholars, and students specialising in finance and capital market investments.
