Oases and Globalization
by Emilie Lavie Anaïs MarshallThis book is a reference work about the study of oases in the context of globalization. It is based on selected papers presented at the international colloquium entitled Oases in the Globalization, Ruptures and Continuities in Paris (December 16-17th, 2013). The main issue was to understand how oases have been excluded from or included into the process of globalization. In this context, the present book proposes firstly a discussion about the definition(s) of oasis and secondly several case studies analysing socio-spatial mutations in the oasis structure. The third part deals with the compelling globalization at different spatial scales, using two entries: the water management and local impacts of external control.

Oberflächentechnik für den Maschinenbau
by Kirsten BobzinTribologie, Korrosion, Konstruktion und Werkstofftechnik sind Wissensbereiche, die sich zunächst parallel entwickelt haben. Das gleiche gilt für die verschiedenen Verfahren der Oberflächentechnik. Heute wird es zunehmend wichtiger, interdisziplinäre Ansätze zu finden, um die Problemstellungen der Zukunft, wie z.B. Umweltschutz oder Ressourcenschonung, gemeinsam zu lösen. Das Buch verfolgt den Ansatz, diese Wissensbereiche zu verknüpfen. Es beginnt mit einer Beschreibung technischer Oberflächen hinsichtlich chemischer Zusammensetzung und geometrischer Struktur. Technische Systeme des Maschinenbaus (Bauteile oder Werkzeuge) sind Umgebungseinflüssen (Druck, Chemie, Temperatur) ausgesetzt, die zu Oberflächenschäden durch Verschleiß und Korrosion führen können. Um Oberflächen davor zu schützen, müssen die Grundlagen der Tribologie (Lehre von Reibung und Verschleiß) und Korrosion zunächst verstanden sein, weshalb die wichtigsten Begriffe und Definitionen zu Beginn des Buches beschrieben werden. Schwerpunkt des Buches ist die Behandlung der Verfahren der Oberflächentechnik, die im Maschinenbau Anwendung finden. Jedes Verfahren wird hinsichtlich Beschichtungsprozess, Anlagentechnik, Schichtwerkstoffen, typischen Schichtdicken, Beschichtungstemperaturen und Schichtwerkstoffen beschrieben und anhand von Anwendungsbeispielen vorgestellt. Wesentliches Element der Oberflächentechnik ist die Kombination unterschiedlicher Werkstoffe oder Werkstoffeigenschaften, um Volumen- und Oberflächeneigenschaften getrennt voneinander entsprechend der Anwendung optimieren zu können. Daher ist abschließend eine sehr kurze Einteilung wichtiger Werkstoffe gegeben (Metalle, Keramiken, Polymere). Die Kombination aus Tribologie, Korrosion, Verfahren der Oberflächentechnik und Werkstoffkunde ermöglicht eine strukturierte Herangehensweise bei der Auslegung von Oberflächen.

Object Tracking Technology: Trends, Challenges and Applications (Contributions to Environmental Sciences & Innovative Business Technology)
by Ashish Kumar Rachna Jain Ajantha Devi Vairamani Anand NayyarWith the increase in urban population, it became necessary to keep track of the object of interest. In favor of SDGs for sustainable smart city, with the advancement in technology visual tracking extends to track multi-target present in the scene rather estimating location for single target only. In contrast to single object tracking, multi-target introduces one extra step of detection. Tracking multi-target includes detecting and categorizing the target into multiple classes in the first frame and provides each individual target an ID to keep its track in the subsequent frames of a video stream. One category of multi-target algorithms exploits global information to track the target of the detected target. On the other hand, some algorithms consider present and past information of the target to provide efficient tracking solutions. Apart from these, deep leaning-based algorithms provide reliable and accurate solutions. But, these algorithms are computationally slow when applied in real-time. This book presents and summarizes the various visual tracking algorithms and challenges in the domain. The various feature that can be extracted from the target and target saliency prediction is also covered. It explores a comprehensive analysis of the evolution from traditional methods to deep learning methods, from single object tracking to multi-target tracking. In addition, the application of visual tracking and the future of visual tracking can also be introduced to provide the future aspects in the domain to the reader. This book also discusses the advancement in the area with critical performance analysis of each proposed algorithm. This book will be formulated with intent to uncover the challenges and possibilities of efficient and effective tracking of single or multi-object, addressing the various environmental and hardware challenges. The intended audience includes academicians, engineers, postgraduate students, developers, professionals, military personals, scientists, data analysts, practitioners, and people who are interested in exploring more about tracking.· Another projected audience are the researchers and academicians who identify and develop methodologies, frameworks, tools, and applications through reference citations, literature reviews, quantitative/qualitative results, and discussions.
