This book updates the first edition for the status of knowledge in the physics of lake ice and the interactions between the ice cover and the liquid water underneath. Since the first edition was written in 2013, there has been a lot of progress in the field, in particular concerning environmental questions and the impact of climate change. Life conditions in ice-covered lakes and practical matters are now brought more into the picture so that the revision also properly serves as a handbook for applications. The author has worked widely with boreal lakes, polar lakes and Central Asian lakes that provides a wide geographical spectrum.

This LNCS workshop proceedings, ACCV 2018, contains carefully reviewed and selected papers from 11 workshops, each having different types or programs: Scene Understanding and Modelling (SUMO) Challenge, Learning and Inference Methods for High Performance Imaging (LIMHPI), Attention/Intention Understanding (AIU), Museum Exhibit Identification Challenge (Open MIC) for Domain Adaptation and Few-Shot Learning, RGB-D - Sensing and Understanding via Combined Colour and Depth, Dense 3D Reconstruction for Dynamic Scenes, AI Aesthetics in Art and Media (AIAM), Robust Reading (IWRR), Artificial Intelligence for Retinal Image Analysis (AIRIA), Combining Vision and Language, Advanced Machine Vision for Real-life and Industrially Relevant Applications (AMV).

This book reports on various real-world and global engineering problems while touching on evolving design strategies. The chapters were selected from the 2nd International Conference on Marine and Advanced Technologies 2021 (ICMAT 2021). The papers discuss best practice and theory in relation to multi-disciplinary approaches in materials engineering technology. Among the topics are advanced materials, applied science, marine engineering and energy application.

This book reflects the latest research trends, methods, and experimental results in the field of electrical and information technologies for rail transportation, which covers abundant state-of-the-art research theories and ideas. As a vital field of research that is highly relevant to current developments in a number of technological domains, the subjects it covered include intelligent computing, information processing, communication technology, automatic control, etc. The objective of the proceedings is to provide a major interdisciplinary forum for researchers, engineers, academicians, and industrial professionals to present the most innovative research and development in the field of rail transportation electrical and information technologies. Engineers and researchers in academia, industry, and government will also explore an insightful view of the solutions that combine ideas from multiple disciplines in this field. The volumes serve as an excellent reference work for researchers and graduate students working on rail transportation and electrical and information technologies.
