Analyzing Social Media Networks with NodeXL offers backgrounds in information studies, computer science, and sociology. This book is divided into three parts: analyzing social media, NodeXL tutorial, ...and social-media network analysis case studies. Part I provides background in the history and concepts of social media and social networks. Also included here is social network analysis, which flows from measuring, to mapping, and modeling collections of connections. The next part focuses on the detailed operation of the free and open-source NodeXL extension of Microsoft Excel, which is used in all exercises throughout this book. In the final part, each chapter presents one form of social media, such as e-mail, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, and Youtube. In addition, there are descriptions of each system, the nature of networks when people interact, and types of analysis for identifying people, documents, groups, and events. * Walks you through NodeXL, while explaining the theory and development behind each step, providing takeaways that can apply to any SNA * Demonstrates how visual analytics research can be applied to SNA tools for the mass market * Includes case studies from researchers who use NodeXL on popular networks like email, Facebook, Twitter, and wikis * Download companion materials and resources at https://nodexl.codeplex.com/documentation

Mapping: A Critical Introduction to Cartography and GIS is an introduction to the critical issues surrounding mapping and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) across a wide range of disciplines for ...the non-specialist reader. * Examines the key influences Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and cartography have on the study of geography and other related disciplines * Represents the first in-depth summary of the "new cartography" that has appeared since the early 1990s * Provides an explanation of what this new critical cartography is, why it is important, and how it is relevant to a broad, interdisciplinary set of readers * Presents theoretical discussion supplemented with real-world case studies * Brings together both a technical understanding of GIS and mapping as well as sensitivity to the importance of theory
The program
speckle-tracking
is described, an open-source software suite for performing wavefront metrology and sample imaging from projection in-line holograms of a sample.
In recent years, X-ray ...speckle-tracking techniques have emerged as viable tools for wavefront metrology and sample imaging applications. These methods are based on the measurement of near-field images. Thanks to their simple experimental setup, high angular sensitivity and compatibility with low-coherence sources, these methods have been actively developed for use with synchrotron and laboratory light sources. Not only do speckle-tracking techniques give the potential for high-resolution imaging, but they also provide rapid and robust characterization of aberrations of X-ray optical elements, focal spot profiles, and sample position and transmission properties. In order to realize these capabilities, software implementations are required that are equally rapid and robust. To address this need, a software suite has been developed for the ptychographic X-ray speckle-tracking technique, an X-ray speckle-based method suitable for highly divergent wavefields. The software suite is written in Python 3, with an OpenCL back end for GPU and multi-CPU core processing. It is accessible as a Python module, through the command line or through a graphical user interface, and is available as source code under Version 3 or later of the GNU General Public License.
A new computer program for analysing ptychographic data combines both high-level simplicity and high-performance computing on large-scale computing clusters. It is available with a royalty-free ...non-exclusive licence for academic and non-commercial purposes.
Over the past decade, ptychography has been proven to be a robust tool for non-destructive high-resolution quantitative electron, X-ray and optical microscopy. It allows for quantitative reconstruction of the specimen’s transmissivity, as well as recovery of the illuminating wavefront. Additionally, various algorithms have been developed to account for systematic errors and improved convergence. With fast ptychographic microscopes and more advanced algorithms, both the complexity of the reconstruction task and the data volume increase significantly.
PtychoShelves
is a software package which combines high-level modularity for easy and fast changes to the data-processing pipeline, and high-performance computing on CPUs and GPUs.

"This book, now in is second edition, is the premier resource to learn SYCL 2020 and is the ONLY book you need to become part of this community." Erik Lindahl, GROMACS and Stockholm University Learn ...how to accelerate C++ programs using data parallelism and SYCL. This open access book enables C++ programmers to be at the forefront of this exciting and important development that is helping to push computing to new levels. This updated second edition is full of practical advice, detailed explanations, and code examples to illustrate key topics. SYCL enables access to parallel resources in modern accelerated heterogeneous systems. Now, a single C++ application can use any combination of devices–including GPUs, CPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs–that are suitable to the problems at hand. This book teaches data-parallel programming using C++ with SYCL and walks through everything needed to program accelerated systems. The book begins by introducing data parallelism and foundational topics for effective use of SYCL. Later chapters cover advanced topics, including error handling, hardware-specific programming, communication and synchronization, and memory model considerations. All source code for the examples used in this book is freely available on GitHub. The examples are written in modern SYCL and are regularly updated to ensure compatibility with multiple compilers. What You Will Learn Accelerate C++ programs using data-parallel programming Use SYCL and C++ compilers that support SYCL Write portable code for accelerators that is vendor and device agnostic Optimize code to improve performance for specific accelerators Be poised to benefit as new accelerators appear from many vendors Who This Book Is For New data-parallel programming and computer programmers interested in data-parallel programming using C++ This is an open access book.
The two-volume open access book set LNCS 14576 + 14577 constitutes the proceedings of the 33rd European Symposium on Programming, ESOP 2024, which was held during April 6-11, 2024, in Luxemburg, as ...part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2024. The 25 full papers and 1 fresh perspective paper presented in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 72 submissions. The papers were organized in topical sections as follows: Part I: Effects and modal types; bidirectional typing and session types; dependent types; Part II: Quantum programming and domain-specific languages; verification; program analysis; abstract interpretation.
