2020 Web Vision by Robert D. Oberst Pdf

At the dawn of a new millennium, faith in technology soared following the successful eradication of the potentially paralyzing Y2K bug. Young dot-coms with little experience and possessing few assets other than a concept, flourished boasting market values in the millions and even billions of dollars. Then reality settled in as the market crashed and over a hundred dot-coms perished. The highflying NASDAQ dropped over 60% and the longest economic expansion teetered on the brink of recession. Despite the disconcerting scenario, this was not the demise of the Web, but merely the conclusion of its innocent childhood or the first stage of meteoric growth. After all, the Web was only 10 years old. There were still trillions of dollars worth of opportunities, as the more rigorous applications waited to be accomplished. The Web is a revolutionary event, yet there is no evident vision of its future. This book projects the Web until the year 2020 and will interest anyone intrigued by the Web, but perplexed by its seemingly erratic course. The book clarifies the murky Web, showing how it will interconnect emerging digital technologies to revolutionize our home, work, and society. In short, 2020 Web Vision will relieve the future shock engendered by the Web. It will also be helpful to those interested in building new applications or investing in future technological enterprises.

Eye Care in Developing Nations, Fourth Edition by Larry Schwab Pdf

The number of the millions of blind in the world continues to grow, causing needless social and economic deprivation. Most of these blind can be cured, and much of the remainder prevented if all people had access to the simple and effective interventions that already exist. In this newly revised fourth edition of ‘Eye Care in Developing Nations’, the author describes in practical detail, what these interventions consist of and how they can be readily implemented. This is the handyman’s guide to delivering eye services to low-resource populations, whether they are pockets of poverty in otherwise affluent countries or broadly deprived populations living in the developing world. Demand for the first three editions from around the world has proved this book’s value. In this expanded and updated edition all chapters have been revised to reflect developments in public health and in medical and surgical treatments and techniques. The book’s value is further enhanced in the fourth edition by the greater emphasis given to clinical ophthalmology and the provision for the first time of colour photos and diagrams throughout.

Advances in SIoT (Social Internet of Things) by Gururaj H L,Pramod H B,Gowtham M Pdf

The Social Internet of Things (SIoT) has become a hot topic in academic research. It employs the theory of social networks into the different levels of the Internet of Things (IoTs) and has brought new possibilities for the development of IoTs. Essentially, the SIoT is a subset of IoTs. It uses intelligent hardware and humans as the node, a social network as the organization type, the social relationship between things, things and humans, and between humans, formatting research methods and models with social network characteristics to realize the connection, service, and application of the IoTs. Moreover, SIoT is a form of realization of technology, architecture, and application of the IoTs using social network research methods. It further promotes the integration between real-world and virtual cyberspace, contributes the realization of the IoTs, expands the research scope of the social networking, and provides a new solution for the specific problems of the IoTs. Consequently, there is a tremendous need for researchers to have a comprehensive knowledge of the advances in SIoT. This special issue is soliciting scientific research papers that can present a snapshot of the latest research status of SIoT.

Business Innovation and Disruption in Publishing by Robert DeFillippi,Patrik Wikstrom Pdf

This is the first volume in a book series examining how organizations in the creative industries respond to disruptive change and how they themselves generate business innovations. The aspiration of this book series is to understand some of the common forces behind the disruptions occurring in so many creative industries today and identifying the most promising strategies and responses by organizations to create new value propositions, business models and business practices that can enable these industry participants to cope with and eventually thrive as their industries and sectors are transformed. The chapters included in the volume examine the processes of disruption and transformation due to the technology of the Internet, social forces driven by social media, the development of new portable digital devices with greater capabilities and smaller size, the decreasing costs of new information, and the creation of new business models and forms of intellectual property ownership rights for a digitized industry. One gap that this book series seeks to fill is that between the study of business innovation and disruption by innovation.

Neuro-optometric Rehabilitation by William V. Padula Pdf

"This is an in-depth study of the various issues that lie at the core of appropriate neuro-optometric rehabilitation. Background material includes the relationship of vision to development; the examination of perception as it is affected by vision impairment; and how function and performance are impacted by the sensory component of the visual process. The next phase of understanding is the relationship between vision, posture and movement. Whether it is attempting to understand the relationship of vision and its influence on posture for a physically-disabled child or, how vision affects posture after a person has suffered a cerebral vascular accident or traumatic brain injury, the developmental nature of vision affecting the sensory motor system is the basis by which one establishes the framework for visual rehabilitation of the neurologically-challenged patient. The final chapters represent new directions in neuro-optometric rehabilitation with emphasis on post-trauma vision syndrome as well as visual midline shift syndrome, a new concept in thinking concerning the sensory distortions that can occur when there is a neurological interference in the sensory-motor system."--Publisher's description.

Killer Robots by Armin Krishnan Pdf

Military robots, and potentially autonomous robotic systems, could soon be introduced to the battlefield, meaning that humans may one day be largely excluded from both the battlefield and the decision cycle of warfare. Armin Krishnan explores the technological, legal and ethical issues connected to combat robotics, examining both the opportunities and limitations of autonomous weapons. He also proposes solutions to the future regulation of military robotics through international law.

Securing Outer Space by Natalie Bormann,Michael Sheehan Pdf

The challenges that space poses for political theory are profound. Yet until now, the exploration and utilization of space has generally reflected – but not challenged – the political patterns and impulses which characterized twentieth-century politics and International Relations. This edited volume analyses a number of controversial policies, and contentious strategies which have promoted space activities under the rubric of exploration and innovation, militarization and weaponization, colonization and commercialization. It places these policies and strategies in broader theoretical perspective in two key ways. Firstly, it engages in a reading of the discourses of space activities: exposing their meaning-producing practices; uncovering the narratives which convey certain space strategies as desirable, inevitable and seamless. Secondly, the essays suggest ways of understanding, and critically engaging with, the effects of particular space policies. The essays here seek to ‘bring back space’ into the realm of International Relations discourse, from which it has been largely removed, marginalized and silenced. The various chapters do this by highlighting how activities in outer space are always connected to earth-bound practices and performances of the every day. Securing Outer Space will be of great interest to students of space power, critical security studies and IR theory.

The Sport Mega-Events of the 2020s by Jan Andre Lee Ludvigsen,Joel Rookwood,Daniel Parnell Pdf

This book explores various social, cultural, political and economic issues through the lenses of various sport mega-events in the twenty-first century, including the Olympic Games, and the World Cup and European Championships in football. In a time where sport mega-events are closely followed by controversies, legacy discourses and questions of their governance, the chapters within this book showcase why sport mega-events continue to ignite important questions for scholars, commentators, fans and sport and political authorities. By covering various topics emerging around sport mega-events such as physical activity, legacies, rhetoric, media coverage, environmental impacts, diplomacy and spectators' experiences, this book breaks new ground as it considers a range of longstanding and emerging socio-political issues relating broadly to the staging of spectacular sport mega-events in the present-day. This is a fascinating reading for students and researchers situated in sociology, sport management, event management, political science, sport studies, sport business, urban studies and leisure studies. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Sport in Society.
