Explore the storied history of this grand Wisconsin treasure – the Wisconsin Historical Society, older than the state itself. From the Society’s earliest days as pioneers worked to record history even as it was happening, to its struggles to weather the Great Depression, and its landmark efforts to record the most important social and political movements of our times. From its very start, the Society has worked to "treasure up" the stories of people from every walk of life, in every corner of the state. The story behind the Wisconsin Historical Society is a uniquely Wisconsin story – one that belongs to all who call Wisconsin home.

English | 2024 | ISBN: 303176921X | 312 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 31 MB
This book investigates novel accurate and efficient privacy-preserving techniques and their applications in e-Healthcare services. The authors first provide an overview and a general architecture of e-Healthcare and delve into discussions on various applications within the e-Healthcare domain. Simultaneously, they analyze the privacy challenges in e-Healthcare services. Then, in Chapter 2, the authors give a comprehensive review of privacy-preserving and machine learning techniques applied in their proposed solutions. Specifically, Chapter 3 presents an efficient and privacy-preserving similar patient query scheme over high-dimensional and non-aligned genomic data; Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 respectively propose an accurate and privacy-preserving similar image retrieval scheme and medical pre-diagnosis scheme over dimension-related medical images and single-label medical records; Chapter 6 presents an efficient and privacy-preserving multi-disease simultaneous diagnosis scheme over medical records with multiple labels. Finally, the authors conclude the monograph and discuss future research directions of privacy-preserving e-Healthcare services in Chapter 7.

The end of the eighteenth century was a transformational period for the Muslim communities of the Russian Empire and their relationship with the tsarist state. Though they had been under Russian rule since the sixteenth century, it was at this time that they were incorporated into the imperial bureaucracy, most significantly through the founding of an official hierarchy for the Islamic religious scholars in 1788.

Why Ecosystems Matter Preserving the Key to Our Survival [Audiobook]


Free Download Christopher Wills, Chris Sorensen (Narrator), "Why Ecosystems Matter: Preserving the Key to Our Survival"
English | ASIN: B0DCD4BB6F | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~08:51:00 | 243 MB
Every one of Earth’s teeming ecosystems is an evolutionary cauldron
Christopher Wills’s claim has its roots in an insight from Charles Darwin: the interactions between species in an ecosystem are a powerful driver of evolution. In this book Wills describes how, by using the latest genetic techniques, we are probing ecosystems and discovering that even the most apparently barren of them are rich in variety, especially of microbes. Exploring the many ways in which ecosystems have coped with past change, and how rapidly an ecosystem can develop complexity, Wills illuminates a pathway of hope for the natural world that we have so damaged and depleted. Our new genetic knowledge can help these evolutionary cauldrons to continue brewing richness and diversity, the better to heal our living world and to enable our own survival.
