Bioinformatics for plant research and crop breeding

Hoboken, NJ: Wiley
 
Accéder au livre
 
Over recent decades, in the fields of plant biology and crop breeding, a huge amount of sequencing data and omics-related information involving genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, interactome, and so on, have been produced and continue to increase dramatically. In the meantime, bioinformatics tools were developed and upgraded to be capable of analyzing the resulting big data, which can reveal new aspects of biological mechanisms and networks as well as acquire the genetic information of agronomic traits to aid in breeding programs of crops.

Cartography: the ideal and its history

Chicago ; London: The University of Chicago Press.
 
Accéder au livre
 
Over the past four decades, the volumes published in the landmark History of Cartography series have both chronicled and encouraged scholarship about maps and mapping practices across time and space. As the current director of the project that has produced these volumes, Matthew H. Edney has a unique vantage point for understanding what “cartography” has come to mean and include.

The Routledge handbook of mapping and cartography

Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY: Routledge.
 
Accéder au livre
 
This new Handbook unites cartographic theory and praxis with the principles of cartographic design and their application. It offers a critical appraisal of the current state of the art, science, and technology of map-making in a convenient and well-illustrated guide that will appeal to an international and multi-disciplinary audience. No single-volume work in the field is comparable in terms of its accessibility, currency, and scope. The Routledge Handbook of Mapping and Cartography draws on the wealth of new scholarship and practice in this emerging field, from the latest conceptual developments in mapping and advances in map-making technology to reflections on the role of maps in society.

Introduction to continuum mechanics

4th ed. Amsterdam ; Boston: Butterworth-Heinemann/Elsevier.
 
Accéder au livre
 

Continuum Mechanics is a branch of physical mechanics that describes the macroscopic mechanical behavior of solid or fluid materials considered to be continuously distributed. It is fundamental to the fields of civil, mechanical, chemical and bioengineering. This time-tested text has been used for over 35 years to introduce junior and senior-level undergraduate engineering students, as well as graduate students, to the basic principles of continuum mechanics and their applications to real engineering problems.

Interdependent Human-Machine Teams: The Path to Autonomy
1st ed. Chantilly: Elsevier Science & Technology.
 
Accéder au livre
 

Interdependent Human-Machine Teams : The Path to Autonomy examines the foundations, metrics, and applications of human-machine systems, the legal ramifications of autonomy, trust by the public, and trust by the users and AI systems of their users, integrating concepts from various disciplines such as AI, machine learning, social sciences, quantum mechanics, and systems engineering. In this book, world-class researchers, engineers, ethicists, and social scientists discuss what machines, humans, and systems should discuss with each other, to policymakers, and to the public.

Remote sensing and image interpretation.

Seventh edition. Hoboken, N.J: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Accéder au livre
 

Remote Sensing and Image Interpretation, 7th Edition is designed to be primarily used in two ways: as a textbook in the introductory courses in remote sensing and image interpretation, and as a reference for the burgeoning number of practitioners who use geospatial information and analysis in their work. Because of the wide range of academic and professional settings in which this book might be used, we have made the discussion “discipline neutral.” In short, anyone involved in geospatial data acquisition and analysis should find this book to be a valuable text and reference.

Sejnowski, T.J. (2024)

ChatGPT and the future of AI: the deep language revolution

Cambridge, Massachusetts London, England: The MIT Press.
 
Accéder au livre
 

An insightful exploration of Chat GPT and other advanced AI systems—how we got here, where we're headed, and what it all means for how we interact with the world. In ChatGPT and the future of AI, the sequel to The deep learning revolution, Terrence Sejnowski offers a nuanced exploration of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and what their future holds. How should we go about understanding LLMs? Do these language models truly understand what they are saying? Or is it possible that what appears to be intelligence in LLMs may be a mirror that merely reflects the intelligence of the interviewer?

Smart farms: improving data-driven decision making in agriculture.

Philadelphia: Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing (Burleigh dodds series in agricultural science, 147).
 
Accéder au livre
 

The agricultural sector remains under increasing pressure to reduce its environmental impact and consequent contribution to climate change, whilst also producing enough food to feed a rapidly growing population. With the variety and volume of data, coupled with the advanced methods for data processing, a new era of digital agriculture is emerging as a possible solution to this monumental challenge.

Artificial general intelligence.

Cambridge, Massachusetts London, England: The MIT Press (The MIT Press essential knowledge series).
 
Accéder au livre
 

How to make AI capable of general intelligence, and what such technology would mean for society.Artificial intelligence surrounds us. More and more of the systems and services you interact with every day are based on AI technology. Although some very recent AI systems are generalists to a degree, most AI is narrowly specific; that is, it can only do a single thing, in a single context. For example, your spellchecker can't do mathematics, and the world's best chess-playing program can't play Tetris.
