Maintaining a practical perspective, Python Programming: A Practical Approach acquaints you with the wonderful world of programming. The book is a starting point for those who want to learn Python programming. The backbone of any programming, which is the data structure and components such as strings, lists, etc., have been illustrated with many examples and enough practice problems to instill a level of self-confidence in the reader. Drawing on knowledge gained directly from teaching Computer Science as a subject and working on a wide range of projects related to ML, AI, deep learning, and blockchain, the authors have tried their best to present the necessary skills for a Python programmer. Once the foundation of Python programming is built and the readers are aware of the exact structure, dimensions, processing, building blocks, and representation of data, they can readily take up their specific problems from the area of interest and solve them with the help of Python. These include, but are not limited to, operators, control flow, strings, functions, module processing, object-oriented programming, exception and file handling, multithreading, synchronization, regular expressions, and Python database programming. This book on Python programming is specially designed to keep readers busy with learning fundamentals and generates a sense of confidence by attempting the assignment problems. We firmly believe that explaining any particular technology deviates from learning the fundamentals of a programming language. This book is focused on helping readers attempt implementation in their areas of interest through the skills imparted through this book. We have attempted to present the real essence of Python programming, which you can confidently apply in real life by using Python as a tool. Salient Features Based on real-world requirements and solution. Simple presentation without avoiding necessary details of the topic. Executable programs on almost every topic. Plenty of exercise questions, designed to test readers’ skills and understanding. Purposefully designed to be instantly applicable, Python Programming: A Practical Approach provides implementation examples so that the described subject matter can be immediately implemented due to the well-known versatility of Python in handling different data types with ease.

A gua o principal fator de produ o das culturas e essencial para toda a vida - humana e animal. A agricultura e v rias outras actividades econ micas em zonas subtropicais a secas dependem da chuva. A recolha e a reciclagem da gua da chuva em terras secas s o importantes para melhorar a efici ncia da utiliza o da gua. No entanto, cerca de 80% das terras agr colas do mundo s o de sequeiro, contribuindo para pelo menos dois ter os da produ o alimentar mundial. As zonas de sequeiro representam atualmente cerca de 60% da produ o alimentar mundial. Os rendimentos dos agricultores nas regi es de sequeiro dos pa ses em desenvolvimento s o baixos, em grande parte devido baixa efici ncia da utiliza o da gua da chuva.

L'eau est le principal intrant de la production agricole et est essentielle toute forme de vie - humaine et animale. L'agriculture et plusieurs autres activit s conomiques dans les r gions subtropicales et s ches d pendent de la pluie. La collecte et le recyclage de l'eau de pluie dans les zones arides sont importants pour am liorer l'efficacit de l'utilisation de l'eau. Cependant, environ 80 % des terres agricoles du monde sont cultiv es sous pluie et contribuent au moins deux tiers de la production alimentaire mondiale. Les zones non irrigu es repr sentent actuellement environ 60 % de la production alimentaire mondiale. Les rendements des agriculteurs dans les r gions pluviales des pays en d veloppement sont faibles, en grande partie cause de la faible efficacit de l'utilisation de l'eau de pluie.

सौ शतकों पर किताब की सोच अपने आप में अनूठी है। अपनी राय तो पूरी किताब पढ़ने के बाद ही दे सकता हूं, लेकिन मैं लेखक को अच्छी तरह से जानता हूं। हम दोनों एक ही जगह (झारखंड) से आते हैं और मैं उन्हें कामयाबी के लिए शुभकामनायें देना चाहता हूं। - महेंद्र सिंह धोनीविमल से मैं पिछले एक दशक में उनके टीवी चैनल के इंटरव्यू के सिलसिले में कई बार मिला और उनसे मेरी दोस्ती हो गयी। मैं उनकी किताब के विमोचन के दौरान दिल्ली तो नहीं आ सका, लेकिन अगर भविष्य में कभी ऑस्ट्रेलिया में विमोचन का मौका आया तो जरूर शामिल होऊंगा। बधई सचिन तेंदुलकर पर एक खास किताब लिखने के लिए जिसमें मैंने भी अपना योगदान दिया है। - एडम गिलक्रिस्टसचिन असाधरण क्रिकेटर हैं। वह भारतीय टीम के लिए आशा की किरण रहे हैं। उम्मीद है कि उनके ऊपर लिखी गयी पुस्तक भी असाधारण होगी। - मैथ्यू हेडन"

The sensor cloud is a new model of computing paradigm for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), which facilitates resource sharing and provides a platform to integrate different sensor networks where multiple users can build their own sensing applications at the same time. It enables a multi-user on-demand sensory system, where computing, sensing, and wireless network resources are shared among applications. Therefore, it has inherent challenges for providing security and privacy across the sensor cloud infrastructure. With the integration of WSNs with different ownerships, and users running a variety of applications including their own code, there is a need for a risk assessment mechanism to estimate the likelihood and impact of attacks on the life of the network. The data being generated by the wireless sensors in a sensor cloud need to be protected against adversaries, which may be outsiders as well as insiders. Similarly, the code disseminated to the sensors within the sensor cloud needs to be protected against inside and outside adversaries. Moreover, since the wireless sensors cannot support complex and energy-intensive measures, the lightweight schemes for integrity, security, and privacy of the data have to be redesigned. The book starts with the motivation and architecture discussion of a sensor cloud. Due to the integration of multiple WSNs running user-owned applications and code, the possibility of attacks is more likely. Thus, next, we discuss a risk assessment mechanism to estimate the likelihood and impact of attacks on these WSNs in a sensor cloud using a framework that allows the security administrator to better understand the threats present and take necessary actions. Then, we discuss integrity and privacy preserving data aggregation in a sensor cloud as it becomes harder to protect data in this environment. Integrity of data can be compromised as it becomes easier for an attacker to inject false data in a sensor cloud, and due to hop by hopnature, privacy of data could be leaked as well. Next, the book discusses a fine-grained access control scheme which works on the secure aggregated data in a sensor cloud. This scheme uses Attribute Based Encryption (ABE) to achieve the objective. Furthermore, to securely and efficiently disseminate application code in sensor cloud, we present a secure code dissemination algorithm which first reduces the amount of code to be transmitted from the base station to the sensor nodes. It then uses Symmetric Proxy Re-encryption along with Bloom filters and Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMACs) to protect the code against eavesdropping and false code injection attacks.
