Gaussian filters are becoming popular with the designers due to their ease of implementation and real time execution even on inexpensive or legacy hardware. The main purpose of the book is to educate the reader about a variety of available nonlinear estimation methods so that the reader can choose the right method for a real life problem, adapt or modify it where necessary and implement it. The book can also serve as a core graduate text for a course on state estimation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book starts from the basic conceptual solution of a nonlinear estimation problem and provides an in depth coverage of (i) various Gaussian filters such as the unscented Kalman filter, cubature and quadrature based filters, Gauss-Hermite filter and their variants and (ii) Gaussian sum filter, in both discrete and continuous-discrete domain. Further, a brief description of filters for randomly delayed measurement and two case-studies are also included. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe book covers all the important Gaussian filters, including filters with randomly delayed measurements.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNumerical simulation examples with detailed matlab code are provided for most algorithms so that beginners can verify their understanding.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTwo real world case studies are included: (i) underwater passive target tracking, (ii) ballistic target tracking.　\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe style of writing is suitable for engineers and scientists.

It collects a series of novel contributions, studying the Indian experience in an international cross-country perspective. The book also discusses economic, social, and behavioural aspects of well-being as well as access to ICTs across regions, states and individuals to account for the digital divide. The book establishes an aggregate relationship between ICT exposure and well-being at the country level and addresses a number of fundamental issues, such as whether ICT raises the level of transparency and governance. Based on case studies and anecdotal evidence, it then further assesses the effective implementation of service delivery through ICT innovations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into four parts: The introductory part surveys the literature and presents background information on the Indian case; introduces the main themes on the relationships between ICT, socio-economic development and digital divides; and provides a summary and roadmap to the chapters of the book. Part I focuses on the impact of ICT on economic performance, including economic growth, productivity and trade. Part I examines the extent of the digital divides in India, including international, regional as well as inter-personal inequality. Finally, Part IV investigates the impact of ICT on governance, users' well-being and social outcomes. Combining insights from analyses of a variety of socio-economic dimensions related to digitalisation, this book is relevant for a wide range of scholars and researchers across disciplines, as well as practitioners and policy-makers. While the book has a main focus on India, various contributions take an international cross-country comparative perspective, and the results have general relevance for digitalisation and development. On the whole, the main message of this book is that the impact of ICTs is contingent upon other assets, capabilities and institutional conditions. National policies should, therefore, not only promote digitalization as such but also ensure its co-evolution and complementarity with a variety of other country-specific factors.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Economics of ICT, Digital Divide and Development - Some Emerging Issues of this book is available open\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eaccess under a C BY 4.0 license at link.springer.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49695890768145,"sku":"DVDB002N5N5M0VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49703419543825,"sku":"DVDB002N5N5M0LN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53417734996241,"sku":"CINB002N5N5M0VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53426011046161,"sku":"CINB002N5N5M0G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B002N5N5M0.jpg?v=1751034349"},{"product_id":"dexter-the-complete-final-season-dvd-0032429135377","title":"Dexter: The Complete Final Season","description":"\u003cp\u003eSue Petrovski has always been capable, thoughtful, and productive. After retiring from a long and successful career in education, she published two books, ran an antiques business, and volunteered in her community. When her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and until her death eight years later, Petrovski served as her primary caregiver. She even cared for her husband when he also succumbed to dementia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHowever, when Petrovski's husband fell ill with sepsis at the age of 82, it threw everything into question. Would he survive? And if so, would she be able to care for him and manage the family home where they had lived for 47 years? More importantly, how long would she be able to do so? After making the decision to sell their house and move into a senior living community, Petrovski found herself thrust into the corporate care model of elder services available in the United States. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eShelved: A Memoir of Aging in America\u003c\/em\u003e, she reflects on the move and the benefits and deficits of American for-profit elder care. Petrovski draws on extensive research that demonstrates the cultural value of our elders and their potential for leading vital, creative lives, especially when given opportunities to do so, offering a cogent, well-informed critique of elder care options in this country. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eShelved\u003c\/em\u003e provides readers with a personal account of what it is like to leave a family home and enter a new world where everyone is old and where decisions like where to sit in the dining room fall to low-level corporate managers. Showcasing the benefits of communal living as well as the frustrations of having decisions about meals, public spaces, and governance driven by the bottom line, Petrovski delivers compelling suggestions for the transformation of an elder care system that more often than not condescends to older adults into one that puts people first--a change that would benefit us all, whether we are 40, 60, 80, or beyond.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49697565245713,"sku":"DVDB00DXP7L88VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53423992537361,"sku":"CINB00DXP7L88G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53576599273745,"sku":"CINB00DXP7L88VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B00DXP7L88.jpg?v=1751225081"},{"product_id":"dexter-the-seventh-season-dvd-0097361441740","title":"Dexter: The Seventh Season","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53421587824913,"sku":"CINB00915G6YEG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/097361441740.jpg?v=1776376932"},{"product_id":"dexter-the-complete-series-dvd-0032429306944","title":"Dexter: The Complete Series","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53496252891409,"sku":"CINB0851MLSHRG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/032429306944.jpg?v=1777892440"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-desmond-harrington.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
