Download or read book Managing Protected Areas written by Niall Finneran and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-27 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book brings together 16 specially commissioned chapters drawn from a range of different professional-practitioner and academic global perspectives on the importance of the relationship between people and green and blue spaces. It focuses on issues surrounding the importance of natural environments on public health and wellbeing, and the environmental, cultural, and social importance of green and blue spaces that can result through responsible and sustainable adaptive management processes. It explores how the Covid-19 pandemic forced reconsiderations of our relationship with these natural spaces and highlights the important impact of the pace of climate change. While not pretending to have the answers, the stimulating and imaginative contributions embrace rich perspectives drawn from backgrounds as diverse as heritage studies, tourism, conservation, geography, policy formulation, public health, environmental health, research methods, history, literature, art, and theology.

Book excerpt: This thesis presents the development of an immersive, high-fidelity virtual reality (VR) cycling simulator, where one can ride a stationary bicycle in a simulated virtual environment and interact with other road users (e.g., drivers). Inspired by driving simulators, a VR cycling simulator has potential to become a valuable tool for conducting traffic safety research involving bicyclists. The hardware and software development and integration were described in detail as a reference for others that may want to build similar systems. The VR simulation includes a representation of a real-world urban environment with a road network, and utilizes a VR headset coupled with an appropriate stationary bike system setup. The first phase of development was focused on an immersive, interactive simulator, in which users are able to control their movements within the virtual environment. They control their speed by pedaling the stationary bike and can steer using buttons on the handlebar-mounted controllers. This aspect of the simulator is instrumental in applications that require observing participants' cycling behaviors in a safe, virtual environment. Validation was performed to ensure the cycling simulator functioned at realistic speeds and in accordance with the user's input. The second development phase focused on a use case for driver education and training, presented through a variety of common dangerous bicyclist encounters programmed into VR scenarios. Drivers who have limited bicycling experience can experience these scenarios in a safe, virtual setting to better understand the bicyclist's perspective.

Download or read book Software Architecture for Big Data and the Cloud written by Ivan Mistrik and published by Morgan Kaufmann. This book was released on 2017-06-12 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Software Architecture for Big Data and the Cloud is designed to be a single resource that brings together research on how software architectures can solve the challenges imposed by building big data software systems. The challenges of big data on the software architecture can relate to scale, security, integrity, performance, concurrency, parallelism, and dependability, amongst others. Big data handling requires rethinking architectural solutions to meet functional and non-functional requirements related to volume, variety and velocity. The book's editors have varied and complementary backgrounds in requirements and architecture, specifically in software architectures for cloud and big data, as well as expertise in software engineering for cloud and big data. This book brings together work across different disciplines in software engineering, including work expanded from conference tracks and workshops led by the editors. Discusses systematic and disciplined approaches to building software architectures for cloud and big data with state-of-the-art methods and techniques Presents case studies involving enterprise, business, and government service deployment of big data applications Shares guidance on theory, frameworks, methodologies, and architecture for cloud and big data

Download or read book Human Automation Interaction written by Mustapha Mouloua and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1997-02 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research and development in the field of man-machine systems has evolved tremendously in the last 20 years. For almost every man-machine system, whether in the aviation industry, medical systems, industrial process control, or just for use in leisure activities or the home environment, it is possible to see many automated systems and devices that have replaced the human component as a key element. The fast evolution in computer technology has transformed the course of our daily lives by making these technological innovations a viable option on which to rely. These varied technological advances have reduced the burden of excessive physical and cognitive demands imposed upon human operators. However, they have also resulted in several behavior related problems such as a loss in situation awareness, increased mental workload, monitoring inefficiency, and inability to revert to manual control under systems malfunction. Covering a wide variety of human factors issues across several domains of application, this volume represents a snapshot of a series of experimental and investigative studies concerned with the impact of automation technology on human performance. The topics addressed deal with both theoretical and applied issues. Although more emphasis was placed on the aviation industry, several other human-machine systems where automation technology is implemented are also represented. This book enables students, scientists, and researchers from a variety of fields such as academia, government, and industry to achieve the following: * review and update their basic and applied knowledge in several domains where automation technology is implemented; * review and evaluate recent empirical studies on automation and human performance across several domains; * address training issues and guidelines for the design of intelligent, hybrid human-machine systems; and * discuss future trends in automation research applicable to the 21st century.
