Programming is more than just writing lines of code—it’s a way of thinking, solving problems, and creating solutions that can change the world. Among the many programming languages available today, C++ stands out for its versatility, speed, and ability to power everything from simple applications to complex systems.This book is written for absolute beginners—people who may have never written a single line of code before. No prior programming experience is required. Step-by-step, we ...

Smart materials, often referred to as intelligent or responsive materials, possess unique properties that enable them to respond to external stimuli such as temperature, pressure, light, or magnetic fields. They can change their physical or chemical characteristics in a controlled and predictable manner, making them invaluable for solving complex engineering challenges and driving innovation in science and technology. This new volume offers an understanding of the principles and characteri...

Communicable diseases have been an important part of human history. Epidemics afflicted populations, causing many deaths before gradually fading away and emerging again years after. Epidemics of infectious diseases are occurring more often, and spreading faster and further than ever, in many different regions of the world. The scientific community, in addition to its accelerated efforts to develop an effective treatment and vaccination, is also playing an important role in advising policym...

Computational Approaches in Drug Discovery, Development and Systems Pharmacology provides detailed information on the use of computers in advancing pharmacology. Drug discovery and development is an expensive and time-consuming practice, and computer-assisted drug design (CADD) approaches are increasing in popularity in the pharmaceutical industry to accelerate the process. With the help of CADD, scientists can focus on the most capable compounds so that they can minimize the synthetic and...

This volume critically analyses the theories and concepts of international relations (IR), which will be instrumental in understanding IR from a non-western perspective. Owing to its emphasis on the need to decolonise the discipline of IR, alternate perspectives from the global South have been explored and discussed in detail.The book provides new insights to make the discipline more inclusive, universal and contributory to world peace and security. It lucidly enumerates on the con...

The application of a novel correlation coefficient of linguistic intuitionistic fuzzy sets to medical diagnosis problems provides the topic for Strategic Fuzzy Extensions and Decision-making Techniques. It further explains neutrosophic cubic set-based aggregation operators for library ranking systems, and techniques for order performance by similarity to ideal solution. The text also introduces the new aggregation operators, similarity measures, and distance measures for t...

This book focuses on the recent trends in carbon management and up-to-date information on different carbon management strategies that lead to manage increasing concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The growing evidence of climate change resulting from the continued increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration has made it a high profile political–social and trade issue. The mean global average earth temperature rose by 0.6± 2°C during the second half of the century with the r...

Cyber Physical System (CPS) is an integration of computation, networking, and physical processes: the combination of several systems ofdifferent nature whose main purpose is tocontrol a physical process and, through feedback, adapt itself to new conditions, in real time.Cyber Physical System: Concepts and Applications includes an in-depth coverage of the latestmodels and theories that unify perspectives.It expresses the interacting dynamics of the computat...
