Описание: The 21st century is a good time to be Sherlock Holmes. He stars in the recent Guy Ritchie films, with Robert Downey, Jr., playing the great detective; an internationally popular BBC television series, featuring Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock; a novel sanctioned by the Arthur Conan Doyle Estate; and dozens of additional novels and short stories, including two by Neil Gaiman. Add to this video games, comic books, and fan-created works, plus a potent Internet and social media presence. Holmes' London has even become a prime destination for cinematic tourists. The evidence is clearly laid out in this collection of 14 new essays: Holmes and Watson are more popular than ever. Why we continue to be fascinated with them is the overall topic. The genius detective has been portrayed as hero as well as antihero. Adaptations describe him as tech savvy, scientifically detached, even psychologically aberrant; he has been romantically linked to The Woman and bromantically to Watson. Whether Victorian or modern, he continues to intrigue us. These essays analyze Sherlock Holmes as a cultural icon and explain why he is destined to be a beloved if controversial character for years to come.

Описание: Recent advancements in imaging techniques and image analysis has broadened the horizons for their applications in various domains. Image analysis has become an influential technique in medical image analysis, optical character recognition, geology, remote sensing, and more. However, analysis of images under constrained and unconstrained environments require efficient representation of the data and complex models for accurate interpretation and classification of data. Deep learning methods, with their hierarchical/multilayered architecture, allow the systems to learn complex mathematical models to provide improved performance in the required task. The Handbook of Research on Deep Learning-Based Image Analysis Under Constrained and Unconstrained Environments provides a critical examination of the latest advancements, developments, methods, systems, futuristic approaches, and algorithms for image analysis and addresses its challenges. Highlighting concepts, methods, and tools including convolutional neural networks, edge enhancement, image segmentation, machine learning, and image processing, the book is an essential and comprehensive reference work for engineers, academicians, researchers, and students.

This book provides an introduction to PDE-constrained optimisation using finite elements and the adjoint approach. The practical impact of the mathematical insights presented here are demonstrated using the realistic scenario of the optimal placement of marine power turbines, thereby illustrating the real-world relevance of best-practice Hilbert space aware approaches to PDE-constrained optimisation problems.
Many optimisation problems that arise in a real-world context are constrained by partial differential equations (PDEs). That is, the system whose configuration is to be optimised follows physical laws given by PDEs. This book describes general Hilbert space formulations of optimisation algorithms, thereby facilitating optimisations whose controls are functions of space. It demonstrates the importance of methods that respect the Hilbert space structure of the problem by analysing the mathematical drawbacks of failing to do so. The approaches considered are illustrated using the optimisation problem arising in tidal array layouts mentioned above.
This book will be useful to readers from engineering, computer science, mathematics and physics backgrounds interested in PDE-constrained optimisation and their real-world applications.
