Open Educational Resources: Policy, Costs and Transformation
(UNESCO, 2016)This book examines specific OER implementations through different lenses. The various chapters illuminate OER not from a theoretical perspective, but from rich case studies of OER as they are unfolding in different regions. ... -
Image Processing Techniques for Unsupervised Pattern Classification
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2007)All the clustering methods presented in this chapter tend to generalize bi-dimensional procedures initially developed for image processing purpose. Among them, thresholding, edge detection, probabilistic relaxation, ... -
Wind Power: Integrating Wind Turbine Generators (WTG’s) with Energy Storage
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2010)The current storage concepts are ready for deployment. Storage needs to be implemented in particular for Wind Energy, not just here in the US but in all developing countries. The biggest impact is probably the flexibility ... -
Large Scale Integration of Wind Power in Thermal Power Systems
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2010)The work presented in this chapter was financed by the AGS project Pathways to Sustainable European Energy Systems. -
Pseudo Stereovision System (PSVS): A Monocular Mirror-based Stereovision System
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2007)A system for stereovision based on mirrors and a beam-splitter, was presented. PSVS, as it is called, is a low cost system with well-located features (accuracy, stability, compact construction). Equations and relations, ... -
A Novel Omnidirectional Stereo Vision System with a Single Camera
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2007)Wide field of view is the most attractive feature of the omnidirectional vision. There exist two approaches to omnidirectional stereo imaging with a single camera. They use: (1) a double lobed mirror (Fiala & Basu, ... -
Variability of Wind and Wind Power
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2010)The installed capacity for wind power is increasing substantially in response to the worldwide interest in low-emissions power sources and a desire to decrease the dependence on petroleum. The European Union directive ... -
Articulated Hand Tracking by ICA-based Hand Model and Multiple Cameras
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2007)In this chapter, we proposed three new approaches, the ICA-based hand model, articulated hand motion tracking by multiple cameras, and Particle filtering with prediction. The ICA-based hand model is the ICA-based representation ... -
A Learning Approach for Adaptive Image Segmentation
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2007)In this chapter, we have proposed a learning approach for three major issues of image segmentation: context adaptation, algorithm selection and parameter tuning according to the image content and the application need. This ... -
Engineering: An Introduction for High School
(CK-12 Foundation, 2014)Much of our modern society depends on engineered artifacts to function, but many members of modern society are not aware of the engineering techniques and practices that have developed the technology and infrastructure on ... -
Empirical Modeling and Its Applications. Chapter 6: A Comparison between the Presence and Absence of Regulation in the Spanish Electricity Market
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)There is an important gap in the literature on the promotion of competition in electricity markets in what pertains to the analysis of two different streams: the absence and presence of regulation. Accordingly, the main ... -
Big Data on Real-World Applications. Chapter 1: Novel Rule Base Development from IED-Resident Big Data for Protective Relay Analysis Expert System
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Many Expert Systems for intelligent electronic device (IED) performance analyses such as those for protective relays have been developed to ascertain operations, maximize availability, and subsequently minimize misoperation ... -
Big Data on Real-World Applications. Chapter 3: Introduction to Big Data in Education and Its Contribution to the Quality Improvement Processes
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)In this chapter, we introduce the readers to the field of big educational data and how big educational data can be analysed to provide insights into different stakeholders and thereby foster data driven actions concerning ... -
Big Data on Real-World Applications. Chapter 2 : Real-World Treatment Patterns and Outcomes among Elderly Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients in the United States
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Over half of patients diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are 65 years or older. Using the linked SEER-Medicare database, we conducted a retrospective cohort analysis to examine patient characteristics, treatment ... -
Empirical Modeling and Its Applications. Chapter 3: Least Squares Method and Empirical Modeling: A Case Study in a Mexican Manufacturing Firm
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Empirical modeling (EM) has been a useful approach for the analysis of different problems across a number of areas/fields of knowledge. As is known, this type of modeling is particularly helpful when parametric models due ... -
Empirical Modeling and Its Applications. Chapter 5: Critical Loss Analyses in Korean Liquor Mergers
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)The SSNIP(Small but Significant Nontransitory Increase in Price) test is a well-known conceptual framework of market definition for competition policies in most countries. Critical loss analysis is a practical method that ... -
Empirical Modeling and Its Applications. Chapter 4: Applied Hydrological Modeling with the Use of Geoinformatics: Theory and Practice
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Water resource management and catchment analysis are crucial aspects of the twenty-first century in hydrological and environmental sciences. Linked directly with studies and research about climate change effects in global ... -
Big Data on Real-World Applications. Chapter 4: Medical Big Data Analysis in Hospital Information System
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)The rapidly increasing medical data generated from hospital information system (HIS) signifies the era of Big Data in the healthcare domain. These data hold great value to the workflow management, patient care and treatment, ... -
Empirical Modeling and Its Applications. Chapter 2: The Empirical Models to Correct Water Column Effects for Optically Shallow Water
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Seagrass as one of the blue carbon sinks plays an important role in environment, and it can be tracked remotely in the optically shallow water. Usually the signals of seagrass are weak which can be confused with the water ... -
Big Data on Real-World Applications. Chapter 5: PESSCARA: An Example Infrastructure for Big Data Research
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Big data requires a flexible system for data management and curation which has to be intuitive, and it should also be able to execute non-linear analysis pipelines suitable to handle with the nature of big data. This is ...
