Cloud Computing in Smart Energy Meter Management
Cloud Computing in Smart Energy Meter Management equips you with essential insights and practical solutions for effectively managing smart meter data through cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence and cloud computing, making it an invaluable resource for anyone looking to enhance their understanding of modern energy management. Cloud Computing in Smart Energy Meter Management presents a structured review of the current research on smart energy meters with artificial intelligence and cloud computing solutions. This book will help provide solutions for processing and analyzing the massive amounts of data involved in smart meters through cloud computing. Readers will learn about data storage, processing, and dynamic pricing of smart energy data in the cloud, as well as smart metering concepts dealing with the flow of power consumption from consumer to utility center. It offers an in-depth explanation of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) which includes meter installation, meter advising, commissioning, integration, master data synchronization, billing, customer interface, complaints, and resolution. In smart cities, components in household energy meters are fitted with sensors and can interconnect with the Internet of Things to measure power consumption with an automated meter reading. This book also acts as a new resource describing new technologies involved in the integration of smart metering with existing cellular networks. Cloud Computing in Smart Energy Meter Management provides knowledge on the vital role played by artificial intelligence and cloud computing in smart energy meter reading with precise evaluations.

Clouds affect the climate of the Earth, and they are an important factor in the weather. Therefore, their radiative properties must be understood in great detail. This book summarizes current knowledge on cloud optical properties, for example their ability to absorb, transmit, and reflect light, which depends on the clouds’ geometrical and microphysical characteristics such as sizes of droplets and crystals, their shapes, and structures. In addition, problems related to the image transfer through clouds and cloud remote sensing are addressed in this book in great detail. This book can be an important source of information on theoretical cloud optics for cloud physicists, meteorologists and optical engineers. All basic ideas of optics as related to scattering of light in clouds (e.g. Mie theory and radiative transfer) are considered in a self consistent way. Consequently, the book can also be a useful textbook to newcomers to the field.

The first comprehensive biography of ‘the father of modern anthropology'‘An intellectual biography that briskly and brilliantly assesses the great, original, creative ideas and their origins in the context of Lévi-Strauss's life from the 1930s to the 1960s in Brazil, New York and Paris' The Times, Biographies of the Year‘Lays out the life with clarity, efficiency, readability and occasionally dissent ... A superbly thrilling life' GuardianClaude Lévi-Strauss, the ‘father of modern anthropology' and author of the classic Tristes tropiques, was one of the most influential intellectuals of the second half of the twentieth century. Dislodging Sartre, Camus and de Beauvoir from the pinnacle of French intellectual life in the 1950s, he brought about a sea change in Western thought and inspired a generation of thinkers and writers, including Michel Foucault, Roland Barthes and Jacques Lacan with his structuralist theories.Lévi-Strauss's bohemian childhood and later studies of the emerging discipline of anthropology in the field and the university led him to mix with intellectuals, artists and poets from all over Europe. Tracing the evolution of his ideas through interviews with the man himself, research into his archives and conversations with contemporary anthropologists, Wilcken explores and explains Lévi-Strauss's theories, revealing an artiste manqué who infused his academic writing with an artistic and poetic sensibility.

An exciting middle-grade graphic novel about best friends, giant robots, and monsters from another universe!In Dan McCloskey’s debut graphic novel, best friends Pen and Olive live in Cloud Town, an impoverished community on Floating Island, a mysterious landmass that drifts above the earth and happens to sit dangerously close to the Rip—a tear in the fabric of the universe. No big deal or anything.While Pen is brash and brave, Olive is quiet, kind, and also fearful of bullies at school. That is, at least until the day they are nearly squashed by a Care Corp Storm Catcher, a giant android built to protect Cloud Town and the rest of Floating Island from Hurricanes, monsters that travel across the Rip. It isn’t the event itself that changes the girls’ relationship. It isn’t the fear of death that drives them apart, or the questionable decision-making that leads Pen to drag Olive into the cab of the crashed robot. It’s the fact that Olive can move the 90-foot-tall machine and Pen can’t. Care Corp recruits Olive to train as a pilot, so that she can protect Floating Island when the next attack comes. It’s a role reversal, for which neither of the girls are prepared.McCloskey’s original art style shines in this wild adventure—it sets the tone for a story that is not only filled with fantastic monsters and mad science, but also the journey of two friends growing up and growing apart in a border town on the edge of the possible.
