This book comprises chapters authored by experts who are professors and researchers in internationally recognized universities and research institutions. The book presents the results of research and descriptions of real-world systems, services, and technologies. Reading this book, researchers, professional practitioners, and graduate students will gain a clear vision on the state of the art of the research and real-world practice on system dependability and analytics.

The book is published in honor of Professor Ravishankar K. Iyer, the George and Ann Fisher Distinguished Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), Urbana, Illinois. Professor Iyer is ACM Fellow, IEEE Fellow, AAAS Fellow, and served as Interim Vice Chancellor of UIUC for research during 2008–2011. The book contains chapters written by many of his former students.

This book addresses multiple principles of carotid endarterectomy in terms of cervical anatomy, surgical techniques, practical cases and frequent questions stemming from clinical practice. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is an effective way to the treatment of carotid artery stenosis, which significantly reduce the risk of stroke. This book covers the key concepts and common question in CEA. It is a practical book focusing on basic surgical technical techniques, but not covers controversial issues.

This book describes various microneurosurgical techniques from anatomy to clinical practice. In each 10 chapters, anatomy areas and their microsurgical comments are included. Totally 591 photographs, among which 190 are photographs of specimen and 195 are intraoperative photographs, 195 are clinical data and 11 hand-drawing pictures are presented in the book.

It is a practical reference book highly recommended for neurosurgeon, neurologist and resident.

This book adopts a cultivation technique using yellow sand substrate in the desert, making agricultural production possible. In Gobi Desert around the world, it is usually not suitable for agricultural production. However, through solar greenhouse facility technology, agricultural production can be achieved in the Gobi Desert. Due to labor shortage, coupled with high labor cost, facility mechanization plays an important role in Gobi Desert agricultural production. Currently, there is no book describing the mechanization technology progress in Gobi Desert production. This book provides researchers, especially graduates, tips for Gobi Desert facility agriculture and agricultural production terms of self-propelled trenching and film covering machine, seedling transplanting machinery, water and fertilizer integration system, and spraying mechanisms. All these very innovative technologies have been developed, and some have been commercially applied for Gobi Desert agricultural production. This book will benefit researchers, especially the newbies by providing cutting-edge knowledge, for those who are interested in facility agricultural, especially in Gobi Desert production mechanization.
