How can environments play a role in assisting and sustaining personal change in individuals incarcerated within the criminal justice system? Can a failure to address contextual issues reduce or undermine the effectiveness of clinical intervention? Bringing together a range of leading forensic psychologists, this book explores and illustrates inter-relationships between interventions and the environment in which they take place.

Biosocial Worlds: Anthropology of Health Environments Beyond Determinism By Jens Seeberg; Andreas Roepstorff; Lotte Meinert
2021 | 228 Pages | ISBN: 1787358259 | PDF | 7 MB
Biosocial Worlds offers state-of-the-art contributions to anthropological reflections on the porous boundaries between human and nonhuman life-the biosocial worlds. Based on changing understandings of the natural and the social, the book explores what it means to be human in these worlds, even as the division between scientific disciplines has, for more than a century, maintained a separation of the natural and the social. Drawing on examples from Botswana, Denmark, Mexico, the Netherlands, Uganda, the United Kingdom, and the United States, the volume argues against the separation of the biological and the social in the study of human and nonhuman life and seeks to unfold the consequences of their discursive separation with the aim of rethinking "the biosocial".Health topics in the book include diabetes, trauma, cancer, HIV, tuberculosis, prevention of neonatal disease, and wider issues of epigenetics. In addition, the book addresses constructions of health and disease in a wide range of environments and engages with analyses of the concept of environment. Anthropological reflection and ethnographic case studies, meanwhile, explore how health and environment are entangled in ways that moves their relation beyond interdependence to one of inseparability.

Grid Computing: Software Environments and Tools by José C. Cunha, Omer F. Rana
English | PDF | 2006 | 358 Pages | ISBN : 1852339985 | 4.3 MB
Grid Computing requires the use of software that can divide and farm out pieces of a program to as many as several thousand computers. This book explores processes and techniques needed to create a successful Grid infrastructure. Leading researchers in Europe and the US look at the development of specialist tools and environments which will encourage the convergence of the parallel programming, distributed computing and data management communities.

English | ISBN: 1444332643 | 2016 | 240 pages | EPUB | 7 MB
Provides an accessible introduction to urban ecology, using established ecological theory to identify generalities in the complexity of urban environments.

Sensory Transformations: Environments, Technologies, Sensobiographies
English | 2023 | ISBN: 0367674319 | 300 Pages | PDF (True) | 5 MB
This book offers cutting-edge insights in cultural transformations of the sensory with particular emphasis on environments and technologies, articulating a special moment in the sensory history of urban Europe as people's relationship with their environment is increasingly shaped through digital technologies.

Soft Computing for Smart Environments: Techniques and Applications
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032413530 | 281 Pages | PDF (True) | 16 MB
This book applies both industrial engineering and computational intelligence to demonstrate intelligent machines that solve real-world problems in various smart environments. It presents fundamental concepts and the latest advances in multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques and their application to smart environments. Though managers and engineers often use multi-criteria analysis in making complex decisions, many core problems are too difficult to model mathematically or have simply not yet been modeled.

J K Misra, "Fungi from Different Environments"
English | 2009 | pages: 390 | ISBN: 1578085780 | PDF | 10,9 mb
Mycologists now look at the genes of fungi to decipher many features that they have been studying in the past beyond just looking at the morphology and other such traits of these organisms. Fungi are also attracting the attention of scientists in various other disciplines. These include the search for useful fungi in various extreme environments that may be useful in other ways such as for their therapeutic value. Fungi are known to produce low molecular weight compounds and several cholesterol-lowering ones like the statins. Compounds such as the cytochalasins, peptaibols, grisan and scirpene derivatives are found only in fungi. Nanotechnology has opened many new areas of research including the use of microorganisms in the biosynthesis of nano-materials, including fungi. This volume aims to bring together what we know about the fungi from different environments. It comprises of 14 chapters written by experts in their chosen area of specialization and covers fungi from various environments such as air, water (freshwater and marine), palaeo-environment, and their influence on the environment and their management.

Artificial Intelligence: Exercises I Agents and Environments
English | 2010 | ISBN: 978-87-7681-591-2 | 223 pages | EPUB | 5.92 MB
Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is the study and development of computer systems which can perform tasks which normally require human intelligence. Agent Behaviour is a complex aspect of AI, but integral to one's understanding of the subject. It is discussed in detail in William John Teahan's "Artificial Intelligence - Agent Behaviour I" e-book.
