    Book SynopsisCase-based reasoning (CBR), is the process of solving new problems based on the solutions of similar past problems. An auto mechanic who fixes an engine by recalling another car that exhibited similar symptoms is using case-based reasoning. A lawyer who advocates a particular outcome in a trial based on legal precedents and a physician, who considers the diagnosis and treatment of a previous patient having similar symptoms to determine the disease and treatment for the new patient, are using CBR; a prominent kind of analogy making. This book presents current research in the field of CBR including business predication researches of corporate failure using CBR, and mathematising the Case-Based Reasoning process.

    Nova Science Publishers Inc Food Safety at Home: The Last Step of Food Supply

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisDue to a number of food-related incidents and reported outbreaks world-wide, food quality and food safety have become a hot topic in everyday life. But risk perception research indicates that average people perceive risks differently from experts. Although outbreaks of food poisoning are usually well-documented in the media, there is very little attention paid to the outbreaks which occur as consequence of improper food handling at home. Consumers in everyday life often do not respect basic principles of food safety and as such, at the end of food supply chain, present risk for themselves and their near relatives and friends. Several studies highlighted gaps in food safety knowledge and some critical safety violations regarding food handling at home. This book reviews consumer studies and their conclusions concerning food safety knowledge and practices.

    Book SynopsisFreshwater wetlands are an integral part of central Florida, where thousands are distributed across the landscape. However, their relatively small size and vast numbers challenge efforts to characterise them collectively as a state-wide water resource. Freshwater wetlands and their interaction with ground water play a pivotal role in the water resources of Florida. Understanding the long-term effects of wetland augmentation and other mitigation practices on wetlands in Florida requires systematically comparing the hydrology, water quality, and ecology of both natural and augmented systems. This book provides an overview of the ecology and hydrology of the freshwater wetlands in Central Florida.

    Book SynopsisIn recent years, numerous research papers have considered the problem of privacy protection in biometric authentication systems. When someone wants to authenticate himself, the fresh biometric data he presents has to match with the reference related to the one he claims to be. Many proposals have been made to ensure the confidentiality of the biometric data involved during this verification. Also discussed in this compilation, is the problem of finding a face recognition system that works well both under variable illumination conditions and under strictly controlled acquisition conditions. Information fusion techniques are also explored and have been widely developed in the community of voice biometrics along with several uni-modal speaker recognition algorithms.

    Book SynopsisThis book focuses on the extensive literature on corporate governance that attempts to answer the question: what is the value of corporate governance to US firms? Also discussed herein is how corporate governance in business, finance, economics, management, and accounting is widespread and continues due to the struggles (and in some cases, collapse) of major firms world-wide. Following the global financial crisis in 2007-2008, even though most of these firms have strong governance structures. Moreover, most of these broad studies lack evidence of the systematic usefulness of corporate governance to different constituencies, especially to firm value, performance, and financial reporting quality.

    Book SynopsisGovernments of every sugar-producing nation intervene to protect their domestic industries from fluctuating world market prices. Such intervention is necessary, it is argued, because both sugar cane and sugar beets must be processed soon after harvest using costly processing machinery. When farmers significantly reduce production because of low prices, a cane or beet processing plant typically shuts down, usually never to reopen. This close link between production and capital-intensive processing makes price stability important to industry survival. This book examines the background, policies and issues of the sugar industry across the globe.

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book is a comprehensive overview of local food systems and explores the definitions of local food; estimates market size and reach; describes the characteristics of local consumers and producers; and examines early indications of the economic and health impacts of local food systems. There is no consensus on a definition of "local" or "local food systems" in terms of the geographic distance between production and consumption. But defining "local" based on marketing arrangements, such as farmers selling directly to consumers at regional farmers'' markets or to schools, is well recognised. Statistics suggest that local food markets account for a small, but growing, share of U.S. agricultural production. Findings are mixed on the impact of local food systems on local economic development and better nutrition levels among consumers, and sparse literature is so far inconclusive about whether localisation reduces energy use or greenhouse gas emissions.
