Artificial Intelligence Problems and Their Solutions
NE W!
Danny Kopec, Shweta Shetty, Christopher Pileggi This book is intended as a companion to any course in computer science or mathematics where there are interesting artificial intelligence problems to be solved and lends insight into how well-known AI problems can be solved most efficiently by both humans and computers.
This book lends insight into solving some well-known AI problems using the most efficient methods by humans and computers. The book discusses the importance of developing critical-thinking methods and skills, and develops a consistent approach toward each problem: 1) a precise description of a well-known AI problem coupled with an effective graphical representation; 2) discussion of possible approaches to solving each problem; 3) identifying and presenting the best known human solution to each problem; 4) evaluation and discussion of the Human Window aspects for the best solution; 5) a playability site where students can exercise the process of developing their solutions, as well as “experiencing” the best solution; 6) code or pseudo-code implementing the solution algorithm; and 7) academic references for each problem. Features: ■
Addresses AI problems well known to computer science and mathematics students from a number of perspectives
■
Covers classic AI problems such as Twelve Coins, Red Donkey, Cryptarithms, Rubik’s Cube, Missionaries/Cannibals, Knight’s Tour, Monty Hall, and more
■
Includes playability sites where students can exercise the process of developing their solutions

Nazeih Botros Intended for undergraduate students majoring in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science, the book covers both Verilog and VHDL in detail.
This book introduces the latest version of hardware description languages and explains how the languages can be implemented in the design of the digital logic components. In addition to digital design, other examples in the areas of bioengineering and basic computer design are covered. Unlike the competition, HDL with Digital Design introduces mixed language programming. By covering both Verilog and VHDL side by side, students, as well as professionals, can learn both the theoretical and practical concepts of digital design. The two languages are equally important in the field of computer engineering and computer science as well as other engineering fields such as simulation and modeling. Features:

Hypertension is the medical term for high blood pressure. High blood pressure is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular complications, stroke, and kidney failure. Renin-AngiotensinAldosterone System or RAAS plays an important role in maintaining a normal blood pressure. It controls the blood volume, blood pressure within the blood vessels and functioning of heart.
Inflammatory bowel disease is a condition that causes inflammation of the intestines. The two most common forms of IBD are ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Immune reactions for the ongoing infection by bacteria or virus leads to inflammation causing ulcers in the intestinal wall
This animation focuses on the heterogenous disorder, its definition, measurement, pathophysiology, risk factors, complications and medication. It also explains how hypertension can be controlled through lifestyle changes and medication. GREGORY Y.H.

Susan R. Davis, editor
Anthony H. Barnett, editor
Menopause is a normal part of aging women. Menopause is the time when a woman experiences her last menstrual period as a part of normal ageing, and the ovaries run out of eggs, or ova. There is a large drop in the production of oestrogen by the ovaries at menopause, and the resulting fall in hormones can affect many other organ systems.
Metabolic syndrome defines a clustering of major cardiovascular risk factors, in association with central obesity or overweight.
This presentation helps in understanding the aetiology, symptoms and signs of menopause and its management. SUSAN R. DAVIS, MBBS, FRACP, PHD, is a National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia Principal Research Fellow and Professor of Women’s Health at Monash University. She has published extensively on women’s health research and education, with particular focus on the consequences of sex steroid deficiency and sex steroid therapy in women, and identifying modifiable factors that improve the health and wellbeing of women in middle and later life. Prof. Davis was a member of Monash University Council from 2005–07 and is the past President of the Australasian Menopause Society. She has published over 200 peer reviewed manuscripts and has been an invited lecturer at over 100 international conferences. She has been the recipient of numerous awards including an NHMRC Research Scholarship from 1986–88, the Robert Greenblatt Prize for Research of the International Menopause Society (1993), Barbara Gross Award of the Australasian Menopause Society (2002), and the Australasian Menopause Society Annual Scientific Awards for 2006 and 2008.
There is a link between insulin resistance and hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia and other metabolic abnormalities that increase an individual’s risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. This animation describes this syndrome and the pharmacotherapeutic focus on multiple risk factor intervention using combinations of antihypertensives, low dose aspirin, statins and antihyperglycaemic agents for diabetes as also targeting the underlying insulin resistance.

Henry Purcell, editor

Anthony H. Barnett, editor
Stable angina is a condition where the pain is caused by a fixed blockage in the coronary artery which starves the muscle of oxygen.
Stroke is a medical emergency that happens when a blood clot blocks an artery, or a blood vessel ruptures, interrupting blood flow to an area of the brain. Brain cells begin to die and the resulting damage can lead to paralysis on one side or loss of ability to speak.
A disease marked by high levels of glucose in the blood, Type 2 diabetes occurs when either the body does not produce enough insulin or when the cells does not respond to insulin.
This animation on stable angina describes the heart, coronary arteries, types of angina, followed by a graphic elucidation of atherosclerosis, and angina.
