Python has become a cornerstone in the world of quantitative finance, offering unparalleled flexibility, a rich set of libraries, and an active community of developers. To harness the full power of Python for financial modeling and gamma scalping, it’s crucial to set up your Python environment correctly. With your virtual environment set up, the next step is to install essential Python libraries for financial modeling. These libraries include NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, and Matplotlib, among others. The true power of these libraries is realized when they are used together to build comprehensive financial models. Consider a scenario where you need to evaluate the risk and return profile of a complex portfolio. You can use Pandas for data handling, NumPy for numerical computations, and SciPy for optimization. Jupyter Notebooks allow you to write and execute Python code in an interactive, web-based environment, making it easier to visualize data and debug code. Web scraping involves extracting data from websites, which can be particularly useful for obtaining information not readily available through APIs. Python offers several libraries for web scraping, with BeautifulSoup and Selenium being among the most popular.

If you're developing or considering cloud application architectures for your company's projects, this practical guide is an ideal place to learn and understand best practices for developing in the cloud. Architects and lead developers will learn how cloud applications should be designed, how they fit into a larger architectural picture, and how to make them operate efficiently. Authors Kyle Brown, Bobby Woolf, and Joe Yoder take you through the process step by step. Because this book focuses on designing applications to be deployed on the cloud, we do assume a fundamental set of technologies that have become a de facto standard stack that applications make use of to take advantage of cloud computing: • Linux - Cloud computing’s operating system developed by an open community and freely available; • Containerization - Packaging an application with the environment it needs to run in the Linux kernel; • Container orchestration - Grid computing that autonomically manages large numbers of containers; • Cloud-native application - An application architecture that separates stateless business logic from stateful middleware functionality accessed as backend services. These technologies and ones like them are assumed in this book. This book is for application architects and developers who want to learn best practices about how to design applications for the cloud. Architects who want their applications to run well in the cloud need to know these best practices and employ them. These practices apply to any application that will run in the cloud. We assume most developers are writing business applications for commercial enterprises — let’s face it, that’s where the money is — but these techniques apply equally well to other fields like research and science, government, non-profits - any field where users have requirements for what an application should do and the organization wants to deploy their applications on the cloud.

Cybersecurity is a paramount concern in both Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) due to the interconnected and often critical nature of these systems. The integration of AI/ML into the realm of IoT and CPS security has gained significant attention and momentum in recent years. The success of AI/ML in various domains has sparked interest in leveraging these technologies to enhance the security, resilience, and adaptability of IoT and CPS. Secure and Smart Cyber-Physical Systems provides an extensive exploration of AI/ML-based security applications in the context of IoT and CPS. One of the most popular revolutions of technology is the Cyber-Physical System (CPS). CPS is an integration of cyber world (computation and communication systems) and man-made physical world (e.g., utility networks, vehicles, and factories.) formed by using sensors and actuators. Cyber systems make the physical infrastructures smarter, more secure, and reliable, and fully automated systems foster a more efcient, resilient, and sustainable built environment. In the near future (industry 4.0 revolution or 4IR), CPSs will become the new “techno-economic” paradigm. DL model consists of multiple layers of artifcial neural networks (ANNs) that are trained using supervised or unsupervised learning. Python libraries are blocks of code that contain built-in functions. These libraries provide access to the necessary packages or modules that can be installed to complete specifc tasks. By providing data operations and data structures, the Pandas’ library signifcantly aids in the study and manipulation of data, particularly time series and numerical tables. On top of NumPy, the Pandas’ package was developed. It supports the efective implementation of a data frame. Series and data frames are the foundational data structures on which Pandas is built. Pandas allow for the transformation of data structures into data frame objects, handling of missing data, and histogram or box plots.

3D point clouds have broad applications across various industries and have contributed to advancements in fields such as autonomous driving, immersive media, metaverse, and cultural heritage protection. With the fast growth of 3D point cloud data and its applications, the need for efficient compression technologies has become paramount. This book delves into the forefront of point cloud compression, exploring key technologies, standardization efforts, and future prospects. As a burgeoning format of spatial data, 3D point cloud has triggered a research boom in the field of vision in recent years. It plays an essential role in many modern industrial applications, such as autonomous driving and virtual/augmented reality. To keep up with the ever-growing application requirements and meet the three progressive goals of ease of storage, transmission, and processing, it is of increasing significance to research and develop efficient compression algorithms to deal with the huge amount of point clouds. Point cloud compression technologies have become research hotspots for the past few years. With the development of multimedia technology, 3D vision has aroused extensive research enthusiasm. The basis of 3D vision is to model the exterior surface of a continuous 3D model. Point cloud is a widely used representation of 3D geometric models. Point cloud compression technologies have become an essential branch of 3D computer vision. Point cloud is a collection of discrete sampling points on underlying surfaces embedded in 3D space. Point cloud compression refers to the compression of point cloud data to reduce the occupation of storage space and transmission bandwidth. Point cloud compression technologies employ lossless or lossy compression methods to eliminate redundant information, making it widely applicable in 3D data processing, computer vision, robotics, and other related fields.

Software testing has greatly evolved since the first edition of this book. Testers are now required to work in "agile" teams and focus on automating test cases. It has thus been necessary to update this work, in order to provide fundamental knowledge that testers should have to be effective and efficient in today's world. This book describes the fundamental aspects of testing in the different lifecycles, and how to implement and benefit from reviews and static analysis. Multiple other techniques are approached, such as equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, use case testing, decision tables and state transitions. This second edition also covers test management, test progress monitoring and incident management, in order to ensure that the testing information is correctly provided to the stakeholders. This book provides detailed course-study material of the ISTQB Foundation level syllabus, including sample questions to help prepare for exams. For testers who want to acquire a good understanding of software and system tests, this book provides the fundamental principles as described by the ISTQB and recognized experts. Software testing does not require specific prerequisites, but a basic understanding of data processing and software will allow you to better understand software testing. The reader with software development knowledge, whatever the programming language, will understand certain aspects faster, but a simple practice as a user should be enough to understand this book.
