​To monitor multi-hazards, Remote Sensing and GIS-based multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques have been extensively used in recent years worldwide. Since natural hazards cannot be eliminated, only quantification of these events and reliable forecasting can alleviate their detrimental effects, through which we can build more resilient and safe societies. Moreover, cultivating the proper knowledge of the multi-hazards and their monitoring and management can fill the gap between science, policy, and the community concerned. In an endeavor to understand and characterize the various hazards, Monitoring and Managing Multi-hazards: A Multidisciplinary approach presents a synthesis of what cross-disciplinary researchers know about these hazards and indigenous adaptation strategies.

English | November 1, 2024 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0CTHQFNS9 | 131 pages | EPUB | 0.95 Mb
"Building the Path to Advanced AI A Hybrid Multi-Agent Approach " presents an innovative hybrid approach to creating advanced AI systems. It introduces five distinct agents: Neurosymbolic AI, Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture (JEPA), Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM), Memory-Augmented Neural Network, and Liquid Neural Network. Each agent brings unique strengths, and their integration forms a powerful AI capable of learning, adapting, predicting, and reasoning logically.

Service Orientation in Holonic and Multi Agent Manufacturing and Robotics


Free Download Service Orientation in Holonic and Multi Agent Manufacturing and Robotics By Juan M. Novas, Jan Van Belle, Bart Saint Germain, Paul Valckenaers (auth.), Theodor Borangiu, Andre Thomas, Damien Trentesaux (eds.)
2013 | 398 Pages | ISBN: 3642358519 | PDF | 24 MB
The book covers four research domains representing a trend for modern manufacturing control: Holonic and Multi-agent technologies for industrial systems; Intelligent Product and Product-driven Automation; Service Orientation of Enterprise’s strategic and technical processes; and Distributed Intelligent Automation Systems. These evolution lines have in common concepts related to service orientation derived from the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) paradigm. The service-oriented multi-agent systems approach discussed in the book is characterized by the use of a set of distributed autonomous and cooperative agents, embedded in smart components that use the SOA principles, being oriented by offer and request of services, in order to fulfil production systems and value chain goals.A new integrated vision combining emergent technologies is offered, to create control structures with distributed intelligence supporting the vertical and horizontal enterprise integration and running in truly distributed and global working environments. The service value creation model at enterprise level consists into using Service Component Architectures for business process applications, based on entities which handle services. In this componentization view, a service is a piece of software encapsulating the business/control logic or resource functionality of an entity that exhibits an individual competence and responds to a specific request to fulfil a local (product) or global (batch) objective.The service value creation model at enterprise level consists into using Service Component Architectures for business process applications, based on entities which handle services.

Polypharmacology Strategies for Multi-Target Drug Discovery


Free Download Polypharmacology: Strategies for Multi-Target Drug Discovery
English | 2025 | ISBN: 139418283X | 482 Pages | PDF | 19 MB
Polypharmacology covers the two-sided nature of polypharmacology: its relevance for adverse drug effects, as well as its benefit for certain therapeutic drug classes in effectively treating complex diseases like psychosis and cancer. The book provides practical guidelines and advice to help readers design drugs that have multiple targets while minimizing unwanted off-target effects, discusses important disease areas like viral infection, diabetes, and obesity that have advanced significantly in the last decade, and guides researchers in neighboring areas to polypharmacology.
