The book comprehensively covers the most important applications of the internet of things (IoT) using Python programming on Raspberry pi, Micropython Py Board, and NVIDIA Jetson Board. The authors have used an immersive ¿hands-on¿ approach to help readers gain expertise in developing working code for real-world IoT applications. The book focuses on industry-standard embedded platforms for IoT applications. It also gives a glimpse of python programming and setup configuration of these embedded platforms. The later chapter highlights basic interface applications with Raspberry Pi. Exclusive advanced IoT applications on the Micropython Pyboard are also covered. The last two chapters deal with the NVIDIA Jetson Nano board programming for machine learning applications with FoG/cloud computing.The various IoT applications with different embedded platforms in this volume are best-suited for undergraduate/postgraduate students and researchers who want to get exposed to python programming for IoT applications. This book will enable readers to design their own embedded IoT products.

This book reviews the global preparedness to pandemic challenges to human health and development by compiling the brilliant ideas of experts and entrepreneurs from the fields of public health, health economics, environmental engineering, pharmaceutical interventions, and other related fields.This book proposes a collective effort to take pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response seriously and prioritize it accordingly to avoid the potential catastrophe in this inter-connected world by summarizing the lessons learned from the COVID-19. In the context of today¿s climate change and its association with human health, the book presents the need for aligning climate and health goals and puts up with the multi-sectors and low-carbon economic strategies where health is prioritized in development.Furthermore, when more and more novel medical and pharmaceutical items worldwide are launched, the health system could be improved. With the help of digital health,artificial intelligence (AI), and other innovative forms of healthcare products, the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare services provision could be promoted, leading to a more promising future for human health.This book vividly presents how such new technologies are applied to build an intelligent and robust health system and how innovations can be used to promote human health.

This book consists of selected papers from the 2022 4th International Conference on Environment Sciences and Renewable Energy, which was held as a fully virtual conference during May 27¿29, 2022. The book overviews the latest progress in environmental and energy technologies with a specific focus on wind turbines and hydrogen production. In the field of environmental science, wastewater treatment, air pollution abatement, solid waste treatment, and general policy recommendations are discussed. Technology advances, especially in wastewater nutrients and micropollutant removal, are covered. In policy measures, cost allocations, optimum recycling strategies, and environmental footprint allocations of different environmental technologies are included. In the field of renewable energy, several hot topics, including solar cells, offshore floating wind turbines, and renewable energy resource potentials in different regions are considered.

This handbook comprehensively reviews different nanomaterials and modern electrochemical approaches used in the point-of-care analysis of biomolecules. It describes the importance, significance, and application of various kinds of smart nanomaterials and their integration with modern electrochemical techniques for the point-of-care diagnosis of biologically important biomolecules. The interaction between bio-systems and nanomaterials have been discussed in this book using advanced electrochemical methods and characterizing techniques. It describes the combination of classical and modern methodologies for the synthesis of metal nanoparticles/nanoclusters and modern electrochemical techniques for the early-stage detection and point-of-care diagnosis of cancer and other infectious disease such as SARS, influenza, tuberculosis (TB), and hepatitis. Finally, the book provides an accessible and readable summary of the use of nanomaterial for understanding the electrochemical reaction taking place at nano-bio interfaces in electrochemical biomolecular detection and analysis. The book bridges the gap and strengthens the relationship between electrochemists, material scientists, and biomolecular scientists who are directly or indirectly associated with the field of such point-of-care diagnostics. ¿

This book presents South Asian women¿s voices which have been marginalised in the theory and practice of international relations in the region. It highlights critical issues of importance for women which are often neglected in traditional International Relations (IR). Embracing Feminist epistemology, the book re imagines the theory and practice of IR in South Asia, placing women¿s experiences and their diverse voices at the centre. Refusing the temptation to typecast women, the book showcases the varied voices of South Asian women in international relations with contributions from an eclectic set of authors from different nationalities. In doing so, the book expands the ontological and epistemological limits of IR by including caste, conflict, protest perspectives. While some of these are uniquely South Asian, like caste, all of them show how the field of IR in general can become enriched by being more inclusive. This book will be of interest to researchers as it provides a fresh conceptual re-conceptualization of the field of IR from gender as well as global south perspective. The book will also help graduate students seeking to understand the intersection of gender and IR.

This book covers all aspects of Percutaneous Renal stone surgeries, starting with a step-by-step approach to patient evaluation and pre-operative preparation to the actual planning of surgeries. The topics covered give a general outline of stone treatment as well as the handling of different situations. It covers new developments in the field with a new approach to the treatment of Stone disease. The special chapters of interest are training in such surgeries and troubleshooting, emphasizing the management of difficulties such as residual stones and complications faced during surgeries. An essential aspect of this book is a detailed chapter on the intricacies and their management, which serves as a helpful tool to novice surgeons, who can be well prepared in advance to avoid possible complications. The book serves as a primer for the practical training of young surgeons and trainees as well. It will help them widen their horizons on all the aspects of stone surgery before embarking on this journey and will help to inspire many budding surgeons to take up and specialize in this surgery.Surgeons, at the mid-career level, will also be able to refresh their knowledge, learn about the newer technologies and the latest technological advancements in this field covered in this book.For surgeons and academicians at all stages of their careers, this comprehensive book, covering all aspects of the popular technique of PCNL, is helpful to update their knowledge of this subject.
