Overview: Draws on practitioners’ voices, speaking from the heart of contemporary practice dilemmas.Integrates empirical research with philosophical insights to address questions of professional practice.IntegrThere is considerable and growing interest in professionals learning across their working lives. The growth in this interest is likely premised upon the increasing percentage of those who are being employed under the designation as professi- als or para-professional workers in advanced industrial economies. Part of being designated in this way is a requirement to be able to work autonomo

Overview: Provides a starting part for graduate students and senior scientists in the field of axions and axion-like particles.Axions are peculiar hypothetical particles that could both solve the CP problem of quantum chromodynamics and at the same time account for the dark matter of the universe. Based on a series of lectures by world experts in this field held at CERN (Geneva), this volume provides a pedagogical introduction to the theory, cosmology and astrophysics of these fascinating particles and gives an up-to-date account of the status and prospect of ongoing and planned experimental s

Overview: Includes the latest research on AI in Learning, connecting human learning and machine learning.Provides pedagogical models and practices to use AI at different levels of education and in working-life..AI (Artificial Intelligence) is predicted to radically change teaching and learning in both schools and industry causing radical disruption of work. AI can support well-being initiatives and lifelong learning but educational institutions and companies need to take the changing technology into account. Moving towards AI supported by digital tools requires a dramatic shift in the concept

Overview: .Asynchronous System-on-Chip Interconnect. describes the use of an entirely asynchronous system-bus for the modular construction of integrated circuits. Industry is just awakening to the benefits of asynchronous design in avoiding the problems of clock-skew and multiple clock-domains, an din parallel with this is coming to grips with Intellectual Property (IP) based design flows which emphasise the need for a flexible interconnect strategy. In this book, John Bainbridge investigates the design of an asynchronous on-chip interconnect, looking at all the stages of the design from the c

Overview: .Aesthetics and Economics. is a pioneering effort attreating aesthetics from the point of view of economic theory, andaddresses the contradictions which have arisen from economists‘ workin this field over the years. .Starting from an historical review of the treatment of aesthetics ineconomic thought, .Aesthetics and Economics. goes through theintegration of a number of recent advances in economic thinking withthe main topics of aesthetics, from creativity to interpretation..The subject is systematically treated on the grounds of a restatementof the optimization analysis on non-conse

Overview: Contains a new unifying approach to quadratic vector and matrix equations in applied probability.Gives new insight on the structured doubling algorithm which can be exploited to develop suitable modifThis book is devoted to studying algorithms for the solution of a class of quadratic matrix and vector equations. These equations appear, in different forms, in several practical applications, especially in applied probability and control theory. The equations are first presented using a novel unifying approach; then, specific numerical methods are presented for the cases most relevant f

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen.

Overview: The classical theory of natural selection, as developed by Fisher, Haldane, and ‘Wright, and their followers, is in a sense a statistical theory. By and large the classical theory assumes that the underlying environment in which evolution transpires is both constant and stable - the theory is in this sense deterministic. In reality, on the other hand, nature is almost always changing and unstable. We do not yet possess a complete theory of natural selection in stochastic environ­ ments. Perhaps it has been thought that such a theory is unimportant, or that it would be too difficult.
