Making intelligent devices and systems is the science and engineering of artificial intelligence (AI). In order to solve many of the most difficult problems in computer science, this important multidisciplinary discipline plays a crucial role in the field of technology nowadays. The book also addresses the topic of machine learning because it is closely related to AI. By no means is the list of subjects below intended to be comprehensive. The main objective of this book is to provide researchers, scientists, business professionals, and academics insight into original theories and research findings on the use of human cognitive models in diverse real-world computing applications. Through this book, the authors built an interdisciplinary forum where researchers from many fields may share their work and explore how to engineer human brain processes, learning mechanisms, and decision-making processes.

Porous Coordination Polymers: From Fundamentals to Advanced Applications brings together the latest advances in Porous Coordination Polymers (PCPs) for cutting-edge applications. The book begins by introducing PCPs, highlighting their structure, chemistry, basic properties and design approaches. This is followed by a chapter focusing on synthesis methods and mechanical properties. Subsequent chapters provide in-depth coverage of specific target applications, explaining the preparation of PCPs for areas including catalysis and photocatalysis, environmental remediation, gas storage and separation, energy storage and conversion, new generation magnets, nanocarriers in therapeutics, and biomedical imaging. Finally, current challenges and future developments are considered in detail. Porous Coordination Polymers are gaining increasing interest due to their attractive properties, such as structural flexibility, large surface area, tailorable pore size, and functional tunability, in turn enabling a wide range of possible applications which this book aims to highlight and to elucidate. This is a valuable resource for researchers and advanced students across polymer science, inorganic chemistry, environmental science, and materials science and engineering, as well as engineers, scientists, and R&D professionals with an interest in porous coordination polymers (PCPs) and novel polymeric materials for advanced industrial applications. - Explores porous coordination polymers in detail while highlighting key ideas. - Provides in-depth discussion of the design and development of new porous coordination polymers. - Addresses present issues and looks at potential future developments in this innovative field.

Perishable products such as fruits and vegetables account for the largest proportion of food loss due to their short shelf life, especially in the absence of proper storage facilities, which requires sustainable, universal and convenient preservation technology.The existing methods to prolong the shelf life of food mainly include adding preservatives, irradiation, cold storage, heat treatment and controlled atmosphere storage. But with disadvantages in irradiation, cold storage, heat treatment and controlled atmosphere storage, chemical synthetic preservatives are still the main means to control food corruption. As the food industry responds to the increasing consumer demand for green, safe and sustainable products, it is reformulating new products to replace chemical synthetic food additives. Essential Oils as Antimicrobial Agents in Food Preservation provides a comprehensive introduction to the antimicrobial activity of plant essential oils and their application strategies in food preservation. It is aimed at food microbiology experts, food preservation experts, food safety experts, food technicians and students.Features: Summarizes the application strategy and safety of essential oil in the field of food preservation Describes the synergistic antibacterial effect of essential oil and antimicrobial agents Explains the action mechanism of essential oil as antimicrobial agent against foodborne fungi, foodborne bacteria, viruses and insects Analyzes the antimicrobial activity of essential oil in gas phase The book discusses how as a natural antimicrobial and antioxidant, essential oil has great potential to be used in the food industry to combat the growth of foodborne pathogens and spoilage microorganisms. But because the essential oil itself has obvious smell and is sensitive to light and heat, it cannot be directly added to the food matrix and thus the application strategies presented in this book explain how to alleviate those issues.

O livro A epilepsia na adolescência: difícil, mas não impossível, de Hamilton Luís Sena Lima, com epilepsia desde os 3 anos de idade, é uma obra documentada e baseada em vários estudos científicos considerados oportunos pela experiência vivenciada pelo autor. A obra pretende contribuir para uma melhor compreensão não só das pessoas com epilepsia, mas também dos familiares, acadêmicos(as) e dos(as) profissionais da área de Saúde e de Educação, assim como da sociedade em geral, no que diz respeito à importância da divulgação sobre o tema. O livro está subdividido em vários capítulos, com vasta fundamentação teórica, oferecendo um rico repertório para propiciar a clareza da epilepsia, ao mesmo tempo que mostra o desenvolvimento dos estudos e da noção de cidadania esperada para as pessoas que têm a epilepsia, pontuando péssimas condições e despreparo do Estado em relação às políticas públicas para com a saúde. O autor expõe autoanálises sobre o que poderia ter sido feito por ele quando adolescente e a melhoria da saúde dos(as) pacientes atuais. Por seu conteúdo complexo, de maneira didática e de fácil linguagem, esta leitura torna-se uma excelente fonte de esclarecimento sobre as múltiplas influências da epilepsia, abrindo-se um leque de possibilidades para pesquisas, discussões e hipóteses de soluções pró-eficiência na tratativa da problemática em questão. Infelizmente, nos dias de hoje, em pleno século XXI, ainda existem barreiras, estigmas, preconceitos e ideias errôneas que afetam a qualidade de vida humana em todas as suas vertentes, contextos e conjunturas.
