English | 2025 | ISBN: 139427243X | 528 Pages | PDF, EPUB (True) | 72 MB
Agile development enhances business responsiveness through continuous software delivery, emphasizing iterative methodologies that produce incremental, usable software. Working software is the main measure of progress, and ongoing customer collaboration is essential. Approaches like Scrum, eXtreme Programming (XP), and Crystal share these principles but differ in focus: Scrum reduces documentation, XP improves software quality and adaptability to changing requirements, and Crystal emphasizes people and interactions while retaining key artifacts. Modifying software systems designed with Object-Oriented Analysis and Design can be costly and time-consuming in rapidly changing environments requiring frequent updates. This book explores how natural language processing can enhance agile methodologies, particularly in requirements engineering. It introduces tools that help developers create, organize, and update documentation throughout the agile project process.

Decontamination and Device Processing in Healthcare (2nd Edition)


Free Download Decontamination and Device Processing in Healthcare
English | 2025 | ISBN: 139420616X | 479 Pages | PDF, EPUB (True) | 85 MB
Prevention is the first line of defense against infection, particularly in a world where microbial resistance to anti-infectives like antibiotics is a growing threat. Few aspects of managing a healthcare facility are more immediately important to patient care than the safe use of equipment and devices. Although some devices are designed for single use, many more are designed to be reused and there have been increasing reports of infections and other adverse patient reactions due to these devices, in particular when regarding surgical and endoscopic procedures. The decontamination or processing of various surfaces, spaces, and devices associated with patient care is a life-saving discipline demanding dedicated resources and education.

Emotion Detection in Natural Language Processing


Free Download Emotion Detection in Natural Language Processing
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031720466 | 196 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 7 MB
This book provides a practical guide on annotating emotions in natural language data and showcases how these annotations can improve Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Natural Language Understanding (NLU) models and applications. The author presents an introduction to emotion as well as the ethical considerations on emotion annotation. State-of-the-art approaches to emotion annotation in NLP and NLU including rule-based, machine learning, and deep learning applications are addressed. Theoretical foundations of emotion and the implication on emotion annotation are discussed along with the current challenges and limitations in emotion annotation. This book is appropriate for researchers and practitioners in the field of NLP and NLU and anyone interested in the intersection of natural language and emotion.
