The book explores the capabilities of deep learning to provide smart solutions for the construction industry, particularly in areas of managing equipment, design optimization, energy optimization and detect cracks for buildings and highways. It provides conceptual solutions but also practical techniques. A new deep learning CNN-based highway cracks detection is demonstrated, and its usefulness is tested. The resulting deep learning CNN model will enable users to scan long distance of highway and detect types of cracks accurately in a very short time compared to traditional approaches. The book explores the integration of IoT and blockchain to provide practical solutions to tackle existing challenges like the endemic fragmentation in supply chain, the need for monitoring construction projects remotely and tracking equipment on the site. The Blockchain of Things (BCoT) concept has been introduced to exploit the advantages of IoT and blockchain, and different applications were developed based on this integration in leading industries such as shared economy and health care. Workable potential use cases to exploit successful utilization of BCoT for the construction industry are explored in the book’s chapters. This book will appeal to researchers in providing a comprehensive review of related literature on blockchain, the IoT and construction identify gaps and offer a springboard for future research. Construction practitioners, research and development institutes and policy makers will also benefit from its usefulness as a reference book and collection of case studies on the application of these new approaches in construction.Engineering SeriesBuildingsDesign and constructionInternet of thingsBlockchains (Databases)Construction industryManagementBuilding Construction and DesignInternet of ThingsBlockchainConstruction ManagementBuildingsDesign and construction.Internet of things.Blockchains (Databases)Construction industryManagement.Building Construction and Design.Internet of Things.Blockchain.Construction Management.006.3624.0285Elghaish Faris1267461MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910627274103321Blockchain of Things and Deep Learning Applications in Construction2980252UNINA05785nam 22005415 450 991058459830332120260126102030.09783030993214(electronic bk.)978303099320710.1007/978-3-030-99321-4(MiAaPQ)EBC7031399(Au-PeEL)EBL7031399(CKB)24169302200041(DE-He213)978-3-030-99321-4(PPN)263902102(EXLCZ)992416930220004120220705d2022 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierContemporary Skull Base Surgery A Comprehensive Guide to Functional Preservation /edited by A.

It is divided into six main sections: The first section details the general principles that every skull base surgeon needs to be acquainted with - skull base anatomy, developing a multidisciplinary skull base team, operating room equipment, surgical instruments, and modern imaging technologies. These are the key elements that play a major role in optimizing functional outcomes and patients’ quality of life. Following this, the compartmental anatomy chapters set the stage for understanding the technical and surgical nuances of each location. The subsequent five sections are organized as anatomical compartments or regions of the skull base. Every region is organized in the same format for uniformity and ease of use. Each section includes the availabletreatment choices to each compartment, and describes the relevant pathologies. The contribution of worldwide leaders including neurosurgeons and otolaryngologists provides top-level expertise in how to tackle each pathology. The surgical approaches chapters that lead each anatomical section describe operative techniques in a clear. stepwise fashion with accompanying intra-operative photos and surgical videos. In the individual pathology chapters, different pathological subtypes are described with representative radiographic images of clinical case examples. Accompanying each pathology is a treatment algorithm based on tumor morphology, pre-operative clinical status, and the goal of maximum functional preservation with a brief description of surgical approaches. This will serve as a roadmap that will help the reader to easily reach a decision of how to treat each skull base pathology. The general theme is functional and anatomical preservation of key neurovascular structures. Setting such structures as a target and planning an approach that minimizes iatrogenic damage to these structures will lead the surgeon down the road of either open, endoscopic, or a combination of both approaches. A comprehensive book that is versatile to serve as a handbook as well as a detailed reference for skull base surgery does not currently exist. In addition, combining the two main surgical schools represented by endoscopy and open surgery into one reference enhanced by treatment algorithms is another unique feature. .Nervous systemSurgeryNeurosurgeryBase del cranithubNeurocirurgiathubLlibres electrònicsthubNervous systemSurgery.Neurosurgery.Base del craniNeurocirurgia617.514617.514Youssef A.
