Farming Systems and Sustainable Agriculture in the Himalaya (Sustainable Development Goals Series)
by Vishwambhar Prasad SatiThe farming system in the Central Himalayan Region is distinctive and unique, mainly focusing on the cultivation of traditional subsistence cereal crops. The agrobiodiversity in this region is rich, with the Central Himalaya growing numerous cultivars and crop races. The practice of cultivating many crops or cultivars in a single field is known as the 'Barahnaja System.' Another peculiar system is the Sar/Sari system, where different crops grow in the two Sars during the same seasons, with one Sar left fallow for six months while the other grows crops. This century-old farming method involves plowing fields with oxen and using organic manure to enhance crop production and productivity. However, recent changes have been observed in the farming systems. The area under traditionally growing millets is declining. In river valleys and middle altitudes, there is a recent trend towards cultivating paddy and wheat. Unfortunately, the cultivation of temperate fruits – apple and citrus has seen a decline in terms of area, production, and productivity. Various factors are influ encing farming systems in the Central Himalaya, such as high climate variability and change, decreasing crop production and productivity, evolving food habits, and out-migration. The book contains 12 chapters illustrating introduction, land use and land cover change, cropping patterns, crop diversity and agro-ecological zones, farming systems and sustainable agriculture, climate change and its impact on agriculture, infrastructural facilities for sustainable agriculture, declining agriculture: a case study, crop productivity and suitability analyzes, agribusiness, policies and planning for sustainable agriculture, and conclusions. It serves as a valuable resource for students, academicians, researchers, policymakers, and farmers.
High Energy Efficiency Neural Network Processor with Combined Digital and Computing-in-Memory Architecture (Springer Theses)
by Jinshan YueNeural network (NN) algorithms are driving the rapid development of modern artificial intelligence (AI). The energy-efficient NN processor has become an urgent requirement for the practical NN applications on widespread low-power AI devices. To address this challenge, this dissertation investigates pure-digital and digital computing-in-memory (digital-CIM) solutions and carries out four major studies. For pure-digital NN processors, this book analyses the insufficient data reuse in conventional architectures and proposes a kernel-optimized NN processor. This dissertation adopts a structural frequency-domain compression algorithm, named CirCNN. The fabricated processor shows 8.1x/4.2x area/energy efficiency compared to the state-of-the-art NN processor. For digital-CIM NN processors, this dissertation combines the flexibility of digital circuits with the high energy efficiency of CIM. The fabricated CIM processor validates the sparsity improvement of the CIM architecture for the first time. This dissertation further designs a processor that considers the weight updating problem on the CIM architecture for the first time. This dissertation demonstrates that the combination of digital and CIM circuits is a promising technical route for an energy-efficient NN processor, which can promote the large-scale application of low-power AI devices.
The Art of Finding Hidden Risks: Hidden Regular Variation in the 21st Century
by Sidney ResnickThis text gives a comprehensive, largely self-contained treatment of multivariate heavy tail analysis. Emphasizing regular variation of measures means theory can be presented systematically and without regard to dimension. Tools are developed that allow a flexible definition of "extreme" in higher dimensions and permit different heavy tails to coexist on the same state space leading to "hidden regular variation" and "steroidal regular variation". This emphasizes when estimating risks, it is important to choose the appropriate heavy tail. Theoretical foundations lead naturally to statistical techniques; examples are drawn from risk estimation, finance, climatology and network analysis. Treatments target a broad audience in insurance, finance, data analysis, network science and probability modeling. The prerequisites are modest knowledge of analysis and familiarity with the definition of a measure; regular variation of functions is reviewed but is not a focal point.
Counterterrorism and Cybersecurity: Total Information Awareness
by Newton LeeCounterterrorism and cybersecurity are the top two priorities at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Graduated from the FBI Citizens Academy in 2021, Prof. Newton Lee offers a broad survey of counterterrorism and cybersecurity history, strategies, and technologies in the 3rd edition of his riveting book that examines the role of the intelligence community, cures for terrorism, war and peace, cyber warfare, and quantum computing security. From September 11 attacks and Sony-pocalypse to Israel’s 9/11 and MOAB (Mother of All Breaches), the author shares insights from Hollywood such as 24, Homeland, The Americans, and The X-Files. In real life, the unsung heroes at the FBI have thwarted a myriad of terrorist attacks and cybercrimes. The FBI has worked diligently to improve its public image and build trust through community outreach and pop culture. Imagine Sherlock Holmes meets James Bond in crime fighting, FBI Director Christopher Wray says, “We’ve got technically trained personnel—with cutting-edge tools and skills you might never have imagined seeing outside of a James Bond movie—covering roughly 400 offices around the country.” This book is indispensable for anyone who is contemplating a career at the FBI, think tanks, or law enforcement agencies worldwide. It is also a must-read for every executive to safeguard their organization against cyberattacks that have caused more than $10 billion in damages. In the spirit of President John F. Kennedy, one may proclaim: “Ask not what counterterrorism and cybersecurity can do for you, ask what you can do for counterterrorism and cybersecurity.” Praise for the First Edition: “The book presents a crisp narrative on cyberattacks and how to protect against these attacks. … The author views terrorism as a disease that may be cured through education and communication. … The book is a relevant, useful, and genial mix of history, current times, practical advice, and policy goals.” - Brad Reid, ACM Computing Reviews “Very professional and well researched.” - Eleanor Clift, Newsweek and The Daily Beast
Ostdeutschland: Identität, Lebenswelt oder politische Erfindung?
by Astrid Lorenz Lars Vogel Rebecca PatesGibt es eine ostdeutsche Identität? Bezeichnet „ostdeutsch“ analytisch treffend spezifische Lebensumstände oder ist sie eine politische Erfindung? Der Band informiert hierzu aus wissenschaftlicher Sicht. Politikwissenschaftliche, soziologische, wirtschafts- und finanzwissenschaftliche Beiträge untersuchen dies z.B. anhand der Wirtschaftskraft, des Wahlverhaltens, der Parteien, der Zivilgesellschaft, von Bürgerdialogen, Demokratieförderprogrammen oder Elitenbildern. Die Analysen zeigen Ostdeutschland und ostdeutsch als weiterhin sinnvolle analytische Kategorien, die auch gesamtdeutsche Entwicklungen zu verstehen helfen. Zwar ist ein Teil von Ost-West-Unterschieden auf feingliedrigere soziale und regionale Differenzen zurückzuführen (Kompositionseffekte). Dennoch verbleiben auch unter Berücksichtigung dieser Merkmale genuine Besonderheiten Ostdeutschlands (Kontexteffekte). Vor diesem Hintergrund bildet Ostdeutschland eine sozial relevante Lebenswelt und ein kontroverses Identitätsangebot.

What's in a Name? (Routledge Revivals)
by John Levitt C Stella DaviesFirst Published in 1970, What's in a Name is intended for the layman who feels some curiosity about local names and would like to know more about them- their history, the clues they hold to the life of the past, and the methods of discovering what they have to tell. Place-names can, as the authors of this book put it, ‘help to unravel the beginnings of English history’. Books on place-names tend, in the main, to concentrate upon technical linguistic matters, but this book, while not neglecting the technical aspect of the subject, places more emphasis on history at large.It is designed as a popular introduction to the study of place- names and the authors describe the pleasure to be derived from knowledge of the history and meaning of place-names, showing how they can illuminate battles and settlements, the occupations and beliefs of men and women, the sides of castles and of Roman roads. Those who travel about the countryside will find this to enrich their enjoyment of England.

Middle-Class Boys’ Schools in England and Japan (Routledge Studies in Education and Society in Asia)
by Robert W. AspinallDrawing on the author’s own experience as a student and a teacher in England and Japan, this book is a comparative study of boys’ secondary schools in these two countries.By comparing two nations that are very different in their history, culture, and geographical location, and by focusing on schools that are affordable to the majority of the population, the analysis carried out in this book takes the onus away from money, national culture, and religion, allowing for a more insightful understanding of those elements of schooling, which prove essential to successful class reproduction and those that are contingent. The book also explores the experiences of boys who do not fit orthodox images of heterosexual masculinity, discussing their interaction with teenage subcultures which encourage non-conformity to middle-class norms.Representing a novel contribution to the understanding of the relationship between education, gender, and class, this book will be a valuable resource to scholars and students of education studies, Japanese studies, and the sociology of education.

Conflict and Consensus in France (Routledge Revivals)
by Vincent WrightFirst published in 1979, in Conflict and Consensus in France a number of authorities on French politics examine some of the basic problems of legitimacy, consensus formation and conflict resolution which the regime continues to face after the elections of March 1978. Early in 1978 the French Fifth Republic, then twenty five years old, appeared to be facing a major political and constitutional crisis. That crisis did not materialize as the result of the totally unexpected defeat of the left in the March 1978 elections.Professor Douglas Johnson analyses the historical debate about the divisions in French society. John Frears raises the question of the validity of President Giscard d’Estaing’s views on legitimacy and consensus. Vincent Wright looks at the conflicts which emerged during the March 1978 election campaign and the extent to which they have been resolved. ‘Dissentient France’ is examined by Professor Jack Hayward while Anne Stevens explores the conflicts which riddle the French administration. Four policy areas are then analyzed by Diana Green, Ezra Suleiman, Dorothy Pickles and Howard Machin in order to determine the extent of conflict and consensus among the French political elites. This is an important historical reference work for students and scholars of French politics.
Adventures in Philosophy (Routledge Revivals)
by J. C. WordsworthFirst published in 1925, Adventures in Philosophy presents a series of essays dealing with some of the chief problems of metaphysics and beginning with a defence of that somewhat unpopular pursuit. The first part of the book is mainly constructive in character, and not only attempts to put as clearly as possible the metaphysical views of the author but indicates their consequences from an ethical standpoint. The later chapters discuss two of the most important developments in philosophy associated with the names of Einstein and Bergson. Finally, the author considers how far religion, especially the Christian religion, is affected by the conclusions reached earlier in the book. This is an important historical reference for students and scholars of philosophy.
The Next Frontier in SME Ratings: Improving Access to Credit and Business Opportunities for the World’s Largest Business Segment
by Saveshen PillaySME credit ratings are one of the most underutilised and misunderstood concepts, though they have the potential to proliferate the ability of SMEs to access funding opportunities via both traditional and non-traditional channels. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the industry and sets out innovative solutions for improving the effectiveness, viability, and coverage of SME credit rating services. It focuses on how private and public sector SME credit rating industries can be established and how the unique “ecosystem approach” can be incorporated.

Gefühlstechniken: Eine Kultursoziologie emotionaler Selbstvermessung (Frankfurter Beiträge zur Soziologie und Sozialpsychologie)
by Sarah Miriam PritzGefühle werden in spätmodernen Gesellschaften ebenso wertgeschätzt wie in Wert gesetzt. Ein Phänomen, in dem sich die gewandelte Kulturbedeutung von Emotionen und Versuche des Verfügbarmachens von Affektivität auf geradezu paradigmatische Weise verdichten, sind Technologien emotionaler Selbstvermessung. In der digitalen (Selbst-)Vermessung der Gefühle trifft die zunehmende gesellschaftliche Emotionalisierung auf eine sich kontinuierlich ausweitende Digitalisierung der individuellen Lebensführung. Im sogenannten Mood Tracking soll die eigene Gefühlswelt mithilfe mobiler Programmanwendungen (und externer Sensoren) sowohl umfassend dokumentiert und analysiert als auch zielgerichtet modifiziert und modelliert werden können. Sarah Miriam Pritz nimmt diese neuen Gefühlstechniken als instruktiven Fall für eine Analyse der Emotionskultur der Gegenwart in den Blick. Ihre Studie liefert eine materialreiche Untersuchung aktueller emotionskultureller Entwicklungslinien, die sich als Optimierung, Expertisierung und Technisierung von Gefühlen im Mood Tracking zeigen. Darüber hinaus enthält ihr Buch die theoretische Ausarbeitung der Perspektive einer Kultursoziologie der Gefühle sowie die Entwicklung eines Forschungsprogramms zur kultursoziologischen App-Analyse.
