Overview: The second volume of Advances in Clinical Child Psychology continues the high standards set by the contributing authors of Volume 1. The series has been most fortunate in attracting authors who lead the field of applied child and developmental psychology in theory, research, and practice. Their chapters bring together advances from a wide variety of sub fields in essays that can legitimately be called "major statements." Often these integrative chapters prove to be more than the sum of their parts, not only bringing together information on the most current topics in the field but poi

Overview: " A group is defined by means of the laws of combinations of its symbols," according to a celebrated dictum of Cayley. And this is probably still as good a one-line explanation as any. The concept of a group is surely one of the central ideas of mathematics. Certainly there are a few branches of that science in which groups are not employed implicitly or explicitly. Nor is the use of groups confined to pure mathematics. Quantum theory, molecular and atomic structure, and crystallography are just a few of the areas of science in which the idea of a group as a measure of symmetry has p

Interesting new topics include tethered cord, vaginal reconstruction, continent catherizable channels, and the impact on family studies by  parents‘ organizations. The book not only carries on from the three previous editions by Douglas Stephens and Durham Sm

Overview: Stories that explain statistics using popular culture, sports, and history.Engaging stories of popular culture providing explanations of statistics.Appealing to anyone who wants to understand how numb.This book is about how statistics play a role in life, whether in business, psychology, biology, economics, or just about anything short of basket weaving. You cannot make a trip to the doctor, watch a football game, or even go to the grocery store without some statistic staring you down. Your age, weight, and cholesterol make you a high risk for diabetes … the chance that your team wil

Overview: Presents the views of top scholars on the nature of consciousness.Investigates whether artificial intelligence can lead to conscious machines.Explores special distinguishing features of the human brai.This book centers around a dialogue between Roger Penrose and Emanuele Severino about one of most intriguing topics of our times, the comparison of artificial intelligence and natural intelligence, as well as its extension to the notions of human and machine consciousness..Additional insightful essays by Mauro D‘Ariano, Federico Faggin, Ines Testoni, Giuseppe Vitiello and an introductio

Overview: Of great interest for practitioners and researchers who apply stochastic models to describe phenomena of instability.Contains results on the weak convergence of a wide class of functionals of SDE solu.This book is devoted to unstable solutions of stochastic differential equations (SDEs). Despite the huge interest in the theory of SDEs, this book is the first to present a systematic study of the instability and asymptotic behavior of the corresponding unstable stochastic systems. The limit theorems contained in the book are not merely of purely mathematical value; rather, they also ha

Overview: Explores academic freedom in a European context.Draws on philosophical and legal perspectives.Questions the purpose of science and academia without freedomThis book explores the concept of academic freedom from a European vantage point. Drawing on both philosophical and legal perspectives, the editors and contributors analyse the concept of academic freedom within the present institutional setting. Academic freedom has long been considered a natural part of higher education, but as the world enters the digital age, a renewed understanding of its role and the threats it must face is r

Overview: First book dedicated to this topic.Suitable for researchers and graduate students in AI.Assumes prior familiarity with agents, probability, and game theory.Includes supplementary material: .This book introduces multiagent planning under uncertainty as formalized by decentralized partially observable Markov decision processes (Dec-POMDPs). The intended audience is researchers and graduate students working in the fields of artificial intelligence related to sequential decision making: reinforcement learning, decision-theoretic planning for single agents, classical multiagent planning,

Overview: Explains how special and general relativity are derived from basic mathematics.Describes differential geometry in the simplest possible way and applies it in describing the physical world.Presents EinThis book opens with an axiomatic description of Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries. Euclidean geometry is the starting point to understand all other geometries and it is  the cornerstone for our basic intuition of vector spaces. The generalization to non-Euclidean geometry is the following step to develop the language of Special and General Relativity. . .These theories are discusse
