Memory and Identity in the Syriac Cave of Treasures
In Memory and Identity in the Syriac Cave of Treasures: Rewriting the Bible in Sasanian Iran Sergey Minov examines literary and socio-cultural aspects of the Syriac pseudepigraphic composition known as the Cave of Treasures, which offers a peculiar version of the Christian history of salvation. The book fills a lacuna in the history of Syriac Christian literary creativity by contextualising this unique work within the cultural and religious situation of Sasanian Mesopotamia towards the end of Late Antiquity. The author analyses the Cave’s content and message from the perspective of identity theory and memory studies, while discussing its author’s emphatically polemical stand vis-à-vis Judaism, the ambivalent way in which he deals with Iranian culture, and the promotion in this work of a distinctively Syriac-oriented vision of the biblical past.
Scale Space and Variational Methods in Computer Vision
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Scale Space Methods and Variational Methods in Computer Vision, SSVM 2013, held in Schloss Seggau near Graz, Austria, in June 2013. The 42 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected 69 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on image denoising and restoration, image enhancement and texture synthesis, optical flow and 3D reconstruction, scale space and partial differential equations, image and shape analysis, and segmentation.
Computational Retinal Image Analysis
Computational Retinal Image Analysis: Tools, Applications and Perspectives gives an overview of contemporary retinal image analysis (RIA) in the context of healthcare informatics and artificial intelligence. Specifically, it provides a history of the field, the clinical motivation for RIA, technical foundations (image acquisition modalities, instruments), computational techniques for essential operations, lesion detection (e.g. optic disc in glaucoma, microaneurysms in diabetes) and validation, as well as insights into current investigations drawing from artificial intelligence and big data. This comprehensive reference is ideal for researchers and graduate students in retinal image analysis, computational ophthalmology, artificial intelligence, biomedical engineering, health informatics, and more. - Provides a unique, well-structured and integrated overview of retinal image analysis - Gives insights into future areas, such as large-scale screening programs, precision medicine, and computer-assisted eye care - Includes plans and aspirations of companies and professional bodies

Deep Structure, Singularities, and Computer Vision
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the First International Workshop on Deep Structure, Singularities, and Computer Vision, DSSCV 2005, held in Maastricht, The Netherlands in June 2005. The 14 revised full papers and 8 revised poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. They represent the current state-of-the-art in understanding the relation between structural, topological information represented by singularities and metric information of signals, shapes, images, and colors.
Visual Computing for Medicine
Visual Computing for Medicine, Second Edition, offers cutting-edge visualization techniques and their applications in medical diagnosis, education, and treatment. The book includes algorithms, applications, and ideas on achieving reliability of results and clinical evaluation of the techniques covered. Preim and Botha illustrate visualization techniques from research, but also cover the information required to solve practical clinical problems. They base the book on several years of combined teaching and research experience. This new edition includes six new chapters on treatment planning, guidance and training; an updated appendix on software support for visual computing for medicine; and a new global structure that better classifies and explains the major lines of work in the field. - Complete guide to visual computing in medicine, fully revamped and updated with new developments in the field - Illustrated in full color - Includes a companion website offering additional content for professors, source code, algorithms, tutorials, videos, exercises, lessons, and more
The Text of the Hebrew Bible and Its Editions
In The Text of the Hebrew Bible and its Editions some of the top world scholars and editors of the Hebrew Bible and its versions present essays on the aims, method, and problems of editing the biblical text(s), taking as a reference the Complutensian Polyglot, first modern edition of the Hebrew text and its versions and whose Fifth Centennial was celebrated in 2014. The main parts of the volume discuss models of editions from the Renaissance and its forerunners to the Digital Age, the challenges offered by the different textual traditions, particular editorial problems of the individual books of the Bible, and the role played by quotations. It thus sets a landmark in the future of biblical editions.
Hebrew between Jews and Christians
Though typically associated more with Judaism than Christianity, the status and sacrality of Hebrew has nonetheless been engaged by both religious cultures in often strikingly similar ways. The language has furthermore played an important, if vexed, role in relations between the two. Hebrew between Jews and Christians closely examines this frequently overlooked aspect of Judaism and Christianity's common heritage and mutual competition.
