This is the only book to cover infrastructure aspects of sensor networks in a comprehensive fashion. The only other books on sensor networks do not cover this topic or do so only superficially as part of a less-focussed multi-authored treatment.

<p>The 11th International Symposium on Distributed Computing and Artificial Intelligence 2014 (DCAI 2014) is a forum to present applications of innovative techniques for studying and solving complex problems. The exchange of ideas between scientists and technicians from both the academic and industrial sector is essential to facilitate the development of systems that can meet the ever-increasing demands of today’s society. The present edition brings together past experience, current work and promising future trends associated with distributed computing, artificial intelligence and their application in order to provide efficient solutions to real problems.</p> <p>This year’s technical program presents both high quality and diversity, with contributions in well-established and evolving areas of research (Algeria, Brazil, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Tunisia, Ukraine, United Kingdom), representing a truly “wide area network” of research activity. DCAI'14 Special Sessions have been a very useful tool in order to complement the regular program with new or emerging topics of particular interest to the participating community. Special Sessions that emphasize on multi-disciplinary and transversal aspects, such as AI-driven methods for Multimodal Networks and Processes Modeling and Multi-Agents Macroeconomics have been especially encouraged and welcome.</p> <p>This symposium is organized by the Bioinformatics, Intelligent System and Educational Technology Research Group (http://bisite.usal.es/) of the University of Salamanca. The present edition was held in Salamanca, Spain, from 4th to 6th June 2014.</p>

Fabry disease is an X-linked inborn error of metabolism wherein deficiency of a lysosomal enzyme results in systemic deposition of glycosphingolipids. Storage deposition, and hence pathological disease, occurs preferentially in renal glomerular and tubular epithelial cells, myocardial cells, heart valve fibrocytes, neurons of dorsal root ganglia, and in endothelial smooth muscle cells of blood vessels. Thus, Fabry disease is a multi-system disorder, albeit with considerable phenotypic heterogeneity in onset and in severity; however, it is progressive, exhibits extensive morbidity, and is life-threatening. Within the past two decades, there has been a radical change in the natural course Fabry disease by virtue of the availability of specific enzyme replacement therapy. Moreover, there has been a concerted effort to better understand the underlying pathology and equally to identify patients prior to the onset of irreversible end-organ damage. It is to be hoped that the future for patients with Fabry disease can be viewed with greater, albeit guarded, optimism. This state-of-the-art textbook attempts to bridge the span of pre-clinical studies, clinical finding, and management options in a readable but comprehensive manner for the medical practitioner as well as the interested non-medical reader.

Wilkie Collins' novel 'No Name' is a thrilling tale of mystery and intrigue that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. Set in Victorian England, the story follows two sisters who are disinherited due to a technicality in a will, leading them on a journey to reclaim their rightful place in society. The novel is known for its intricate plot twists, complex characters, and keen attention to detail, making it a standout example of sensational fiction of the time. Collins masterfully weaves together elements of suspense, romance, and social commentary in this gripping narrative. The book's fast-paced and engaging style captivates readers from start to finish. Wilkie Collins, a contemporary of Charles Dickens, was known for his innovative approach to storytelling and his exploration of the darker side of human nature. 'No Name' showcases Collins' skill in creating multi-layered characters and intricate plotlines that delve into issues of class, gender, and identity. Collins' own background as a lawyer and his keen observation of society likely influenced the themes present in the novel. I highly recommend 'No Name' to readers who enjoy Victorian literature, mystery novels, or engaging and thought-provoking storytelling. Wilkie Collins' masterful blend of suspense and social commentary makes this novel a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers today.

Auch nach mehr als fünfundzwanzig Jahren ist OpenGL in der Grafikentwicklung immer noch beliebt, besonders, da immer mehr Spiele und andere Grafikanwendungen plattformübergreifend entworfen werden. Jedoch kann wenig darüber hinwegtäuschen, dass das Grafik-API ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen ist und schon von Beginn an nie für den Einsatz auf modernen Mehrkernprozessoren entworfen wurde. Mit Vulkan stellt die Khronos Group nun ein neues lizenzoffenes API für die Grafikprogrammierung zur Verfügung, das nicht nur auf verschiedenen Endgeräten und Betriebssystemen einsetzbar ist, sondern auch Multi-Threading beherrscht. In diesem ersten shortcut zum Vulkan-API erläutert Alexander Rudolph die Grundlagen des neuen Standards, stellt dessen Features vor und zeigt die wichtigsten Unterschiede zu OpenGL. Er erklärt, wann und warum sich der Umstieg lohnt und legt einen ersten Grundstein für die Erstellung eines Frameworks, das die Grafikprogrammierung für Vulkan deutlich erleichtern kann.

Heikle Manöver, kuriose Fluggäste und andere Turbulenzen Der Star-DJ, der die gesamte Flugcrew spontan auf sein Konzert in Rom einlädt. Der Geschäftsmann, der sich die vergessenen Zigarren mit dem Privatjet einfliegen lässt. Oder der Öl-Multi, bei dem die Stewardessen zu Pavarotti-Arien auf allen vieren durch die Kabine kriechen müssen. Es gibt nichts, was Pilot Patrick in seinem Job noch nicht erlebt hat. Deutschlands bekanntester Flugkapitän nimmt uns mit auf einen vergnüglichen Trip an die schönsten Orte der Welt und erzählt uns, wie er seinen Traum vom Fliegen wahr gemacht hat, was wirklich gegen Flugangst hilft und was man beachten sollte, wenn man selbst Pilot werden möchten. Von wilden Partynächten an der Côte dʼAzur bis zu Sex über den Wolken – Pilot Patrick gewährt uns einen exklusiven Blick hinter die sonst verschlossenen Türen des internationalen Jetsets und lüftet außerdem ein Geheimnis, das bislang immer mit ihm geflogen ist.
