Polymers and composites are ubiquitous in our daily lives, enabling, for example, lighter structural materials and food packaging. Their performance depends not only on their chemical structure, synthesis, architecture, and shaping process but also evolves over time under the effect of processes that modify the structure of the material – sometimes slowly but irreversibly. Users must therefore consider the maximum...

AI-driven Healthcare Innovations presents a timely and authoritative exploration of how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming modern clinical practices and medical research. Positioned at the intersection of healthcare, data science and computational intelligence, this book provides a comprehensive context for understanding the growing role of AI in diagnosis, treatment and decision-making within neurology and broader medical domains. The book systematically...

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies play a transformative role in several areas of knowledge, including management and engineering. Their adoption has been driven by the advancement of machine learning algorithms, increased computing power, and the availability of large volumes of data, making AI technologies indispensable for process optimization and strategic decision-making. However, organisations must invest in research, development and professional training...

Situated at the intersection of advanced applied mathematics, computational science and engineering modeling, Computational Methods and Mathematical Modeling in Cyberphysics and Engineering Applications 2 presents contemporary analytical and numerical approaches to complex multiscale systems. This book develops a coherent framework for modeling coupled processes in porous media, heat and mass transfer, biodegradation-driven consolidation, and micro-irrigation networks, alongside modern operator-theoretic and...

Responding to the growing demand for rigorous modelling frameworks capable of addressing complex technological challenges across disciplines, Computational Methods and Mathematical Modeling in Cyberphysics and Engineering Applications 3 offers a coherent panorama of contemporary methodologies. These methodologies span lossless image compression algorithms, electrical impedance tomography, and extragradient methods for variational inequalities in Banach spaces. The book further examines multiphysics modelling...

The development of digital technologies is often presented as a response to the current challenges facing agriculture, promising both a better future for farmers and benefits for society as a whole. Digital agriculture would finally solve the equation of feeding the population and respecting the environment. As such, it mobilises significant public and private resources. However, its effects are the...

This book explores the geological history of the Pyrenees over the past 90 million years, with a particular focus on their compressive and post-compressive evolution. It first presents the overall structure of the mountain range, then examines the development of the northern and southern Pyrenean foreland basins through their sedimentary records, allowing the successive phases of orogenic construction to be...

Innovation is omnipresent, but its complexity is rarely examined in depth. Far from euphoric or strict technical approaches, this book offers a fresh perspective on innovation by exploring its underlying tensions, paradoxes and dynamics. Adopting a dual approach, The Hidden Faces of Innovation combines a detailed analysis of the managerial dynamics at the heart of innovation processes with an in-depth...
