Summary:

This book discusses data collection and storage across a broad spectrum of applications. Topics discussed include the collection of mortality data in relation to cancer prevalence and incidence to achieve successful national health policies; a study of the basic elements needed for a holographic data storage system; metallic nanocluster-based structures and semiconductor thin films for information storage; and, swift collection and quantification of cow cervix morphology data.
