Technologies for Development
Author: Silvia Hostettler
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 331991068X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
This open access book presents 18 case studies that explore current scientific and technological efforts to address global development issues, such as poverty, from a holistic and interdisciplinary point of view, putting actual impacts at the centre of its analysis. It illustrates the use of technologies for development in various fields of research, such as humanitarian action, medical and information and communication technology, disaster risk-reduction technologies, habitat and sustainable access to energy. The authors discuss how innovative technologies, such as unmanned aerial vehicles for disaster risk reduction, crowdsourcing humanitarian data, online education and ICT-based medical technologies can have significant social impact. The book brings together the best papers of the 2016 International Conference on Technologies for Development at EPFL, Switzerland. The book explores how the gap between innovation in the global South and actual social impact can be bridged. It fosters exchange between engineers, other scientists, practitioners and policy makers active at the interface of innovation and technology and human, social, and economic development.

Employing Recent Technologies for Improved Digital Governance
Author: Ponnusamy, Vasaki
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1799818535
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 383
Book Description
The digital divide, caused by several factors such as poverty and slow communication technologies, has offset the progression of many developing countries. However, with rapid changes in technology, a better collaboration among communities and governance based on the latest research in ICT and technology has begun to emerge. Employing Recent Technologies for Improved Digital Governance is an essential reference source that provides research on recent advances in the development, application, and impact of technologies for the initiative of digital governance. The book has a dual objective with the first objective being to encourage more research in deploying recent trends in the internet for deploying a collaborative digital governance. The second objective is to explore new possibilities using internet of things (IoT) and cloud/fog-based solutions for creating a collaboration between the governance and IT infrastructure. Featuring research on topics such as intelligent systems, social engineering, and cybersecurity, this book is ideally designed for policymakers, government officials, ICT specialists, researchers, academicians, industry professionals, and students.

Underground Sensing
Author: Sibel Pamukcu
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0128031549
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 524
Book Description
Underground Sensing: Monitoring and Hazard Detection for Environment and Infrastructure brings the target audience the technical and practical knowledge of existing technologies of subsurface sensing and monitoring based on a classification of their functionality. In addition, the book introduces emerging technologies and applications of sensing for environmental and geo-hazards in subsurface – focusing on sensing platforms that can enable fully distributed global measurements. Finally, users will find a comprehensive exploration of the future of underground sensing that can meet demands for preemptive and sustainable response to underground hazards. New concepts and paradigms based on passively powered and/or on-demand activated, embeddable sensor platforms are presented to bridge the gap between real-time monitoring and global measurements. - Presents a one-stop-shop reference for underground sensing and monitoring needs that saves valuable research time - Provides application cases for all technologies that are covered and described in detail - Includes full, four color images of equipment and applications - Designed to cover a wide variety of underground sensors, from agriculture to geohazards

Image Segmentation for Environmental Monitoring
Author: Brian Alan Johnson
Publisher: MDPI
ISBN: 3039364774
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
OBIA, based on image segmentation and as an important remote sensing monitoring technology, has been widely used in forestry, vegetation, wetland, urban, crop, conservation, ecology, and agriculture areas. Although OBIA has considerably progressed in the past 20 years, OBIA still much room for further development, regardless of the technological aspect of OBIA or the prospective expansion field of applications. Therefore, this book was organized to further encourage OBIA technology development and expand OBIA applications. This book collects a total of eight papers, which compile the current state-of-the-art research and technology in the area of image segmentation, and highlight prominent current application directions. Therefore, this book not only contains innovative methods, but also covers the innovation of application-driven OBIA technology. The eight papers in this highlight both the popular applications (urban, vegetation, ecology) and several subjects that require additional research attention (landslide, arid-land).

Aerial Robots
Author: Omar D Lopez Mejia
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 9535134639
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
Few years ago, the topic of aerial robots was exclusively related to the robotics community, so a great number of books about the dynamics and control of aerial robots and UAVs have been written. As the control technology for UAVs advances, the great interaction that exists between other systems and elements that are as important as control such as aerodynamics, energy efficiency, acoustics, structural integrity, and applications, among others has become evident. Aerial Robots - Aerodynamics, Control, and Applications is an attempt to bring some of these topics related to UAVs together in just one book and to look at a selection of the most relevant problems of UAVs in a broader engineering perspective.
