More and more historical texts are becoming available in digital form. Digitization of paper documents is motivated by the aim of preserving cultural heritage and making it more accessible, both to laypeople and scholars. As digital images cannot be searched for text, digitization projects increasingly strive to create digital text, which can be searched and otherwise automatically processed, in addition to facsimiles. Indeed, the emerging field of digital humanities heavily relies on the availability of digital text for its studies.

Free Download Image Processing Using Pulse-Coupled Neural Networks by T. Lindblad , J.M. Kinser
English | PDF | 2005 | 169 Pages | ISBN : 3642063438 | 5.3 MB
This is the first book to explain and demonstrate the tremendous ability of Pulse-Coupled Neural Networks (PCNNs) when applied to the field of image processing. PCNNs and their derivatives are biologically inspired models that are powerful tools for extracting texture, segments, and edges from images. As these attributes form the foundations of most image processing tasks, the use of PCNNs facilitates traditional tasks such as recognition, foveation, and image fusion. PCNN technology has also paved the way for new image processing techniques such as object isolation, spiral image fusion, image signatures, and content-based image searches. This volume contains examples of several image processing applications, as well as a review of hardware implementations.

Various disciplines have been bene?ted by the advent of high-performance computing in achieving practical solutions to their problems and the area of health care is no exception to this. Signal processing and data mining tools have been developed to enhance the computational capabilities so as to help clinicians in diagnosis and treatment. The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a representative signal containing inf- mation about the condition of the heart. The shape and size of the P-QRS-T wave and the time intervals between various peaks contains useful infor- tion about the nature of disease a?icting the heart. However, the human – server cannot directly monitor these subtle details. Besides, since biosignals are highly subjective, the symptoms may appear at random in the timescale. The presence of cardiac abnormalities are generally re?ected in the shape of ECG waveform and heart rate. However, by the very nature of biosignals, this re?ection would be random in the timescale. That is, the diseases may not show up all the time, but would manifest at certain irregular (random) intervals during the day. Therefore the study of ECG pattern and heart rate variability has to be carried out over extended periods of time (i. e. , for 24 hours). Naturally the volume of the data to be handled is enormous and its study is tedious and time consuming. As a consequence, the possibility of the analyst missing (or misreading) vital information is high.

Free Download Processing and Manufacturing of Electrodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries
by Jianlin Li and Congrui Jin
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1839536691 | 420 pages | True PDF EPUB | 35.68 MB
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are key to storing clean energy. However, process design, including electrode processing, is critical for performance. There are many reviews addressing material development for LIBs, but comparatively few on correlating the material properties with processing design and constraints. While these technologies are becoming familiar in industry, they are not yet widely accessible to the research community. This book provides a comprehensive and critical view of electrode processing and manufacturing for Li-ion batteries. Coverage includes electrode processing and cell fabrication with emphasis on technologies, relation between materials properties and processing design, and scaling up from lab to pilot scale. Outlining the whole process of Li-ion battery fabrication, chapters cover materials for Li-ion batteries, slurry preparation, coating, laser materials processing, additive manufacturing, dry processing, electrode drying, aqueous cathode processing, electrolyte filling and formation of cells, simulation-assisted electrode processing, as well as quality control. Processing and Manufacturing of Electrodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries bridges the gap between academic development and industrial manufacturing, and also outlines future directions to Li-ion battery electrode processing and emerging battery technologies. It will be an invaluable resource for battery researchers in academia, industry and manufacturing as well as for advanced students in related subjects.
