Overview: Latest research on Autonomous Minirobots for Research and Edutainment.Results of the 6th International Symposium on Autonomous Minirobots for Research and Edutainment (AMiRE) held on 23-25 May 2011 atAutonomous robots must carry out useful tasks all by themselves relying entirely on their own perceptions of their environment. The cognitive abilities required for autonomous action are largely independent of robot size, which makes mini robots attractive as artefacts for research, education and entertainment. Autonomous mini robots must be small enough for experimentation on a desktop

Overview: Computer simulation has become a basic tool in many branches of physics such as statistical physics, particle physics, or materials science. The application of efficient algorithms is at least as important as good hardware in large-scale computation. This volume contains didactic lectures on such techniques based on physical insight. The emphasis is on Monte Carlo methods (introduction, cluster algorithms, reweighting and multihistogram techniques, umbrella sampling), efficient data analysis and optimization methods, but aspects of supercomputing, the solution of stochastic different

Overview: This study shows how she sought to reconcile her attachment to the Victorian past with her recognition of a new society that undermined established order and in doing so gave more opportunities to women, confused class-boundaries, extended tolerance, allowed the cult of pleasure and self-assertion and revealed the ambiguities of respectability.978-1-349-35741-3978-0-230-59078-6Series ISSN 2947-8340 Series E-ISSN 2947-8359

Overview: Explores the political potential shared by all speculative fiction.Draws on an alternative genealogy of Marxist criticism.Posits that speculative fiction performs an estrangement effect on historical Speculative fiction has been traditionally studied in Marxist literary criticism, following Darko Suvin’s paradigmatic model of science fiction, according to a hierarchical division of its multiple subgenres in terms of their assumed inherent political value. By drawing on an alternative genealogy of Marxist criticism, this book presents a non-hierarchical understanding of the estrangeme

Overview: Depicts the normal anatomy as seen on imaging studies.Explains why we see what we see on diagnostic images.Covers a wide range of imaging modalities and anatomic regions.Includes correlative anatomic This book is designed to meet the needs of radiologists and radiographers by clearly depicting the anatomy that is generally visible on imaging studies. It presents the normal appearances on the most frequently used imaging techniques, including conventional radiology, ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Similarly, all relevant body regions are covered: brain

Overview: The XXX Congress of the International Union of Physiological Sciences took place in Vancouver, Canada, in July 1986; and this Volume contains a selection of the Review Lectures which formed part of the Congress programme. They cover most of the areas of contemporary physiology and were presented by distinguished scientists from many parts of the world. An innovation at this Congress was the inclusion in the programme of a number of lectures devoted to historical subjects. These lectures attracted large audiences at the meetings, and three of them also appear in this book. Finally, th

Overview: Karlheinz Brandenburg and Mark Kahrs With the advent of multimedia, digital signal processing (DSP) of sound has emerged from the shadow of bandwidth limited speech processing. Today, the main appli cations of audio DSP are high quality audio coding and the digital generation and manipulation of music signals. They share common research topics including percep tual measurement techniques and analysis/synthesis methods. Smaller but nonetheless very important topics are hearing aids using signal processing technology and hardware architectures for digital signal processing of audio. In

Overview: Seit langem ist bekannt, dass sich Übung auf Qualität und Geschwindigkeit beim Lösen von Aufgaben positiv auswirkt. Ob und in welchem Maße sich dadurch jedoch eine Kostenreduktion ergibt, hängt vom Arbeitseinsatz des Ausführenden ab...Angela Kunow untersucht, wie sich dieses Potenzial für eine optimale Vertragsgestaltung nutzen und in realen Produktivitätszuwachs umsetzen lässt. Dazu erweitert sie den statischen LEN-Ansatz nach Spreman um einen Übungsparameter und überführt ihn anschließend in einen dynamischen Ansatz, in dem beide Parteien bei der Vertragsgestaltung zukünftige Übung

Overview: Antecedents of Censuses From Medieval to Nation States, the first of two volumes, examines the influence of social formations on censuses from the medieval period through current times. The authors argue that relative influence of states and societies is probably not linear, but depends on the actual historical configuration of the states and societies, as well as the type of population information being collected. They show how information gathering is an outcome of the interaction between states and social forces, and how social resistance to censuses has frequently circumvented th

Overview: This book is the result of the second NATO Advanced Study Institute on speech processing held at the Chateau de Bonas, France, from June 29th to July 10th, 1981. This Institute provided a high-level coverage of the fields of speech transmission, recognition and understanding, which constitute important areas where research activity has re­ cently been associated with actual industrial developments. This book will therefore include both fundamental and applied topics. Ten survey papers by some of the best specialists in the field are included. They give an up-to-date presentation of s

Overview: Queueing is an aspect of modern life that we encounter at every step in our daily activities. Whether it happens at the checkout counter in the supermarket or in accessing the Internet, the basic phenomenon of queueing arises whenever a shared facility needs to be accessed for service by a ]arge number of jobs or customers. The study of queueing is important as it gravides both a theoretical background to the kind of service that we may expect from such a facility and the way in which the facility itself may be designed to provide some specified grade of service to its customers. Our

Overview: The Sherrington School of Physiology at St. Thomas‘ Hospital provided a natural venue for four days of enthusiastic debate on Sherrington‘s Final Common Path -the alpha motoneurone and related matters; Sherrington himself held a lecturership at St. Thomas‘ just over a century ago. The occasion was a happy one. Most participants already knew each other, the topics were familiar, the discussion was vigorous and critical but without personal rancor. The program had set out to encourage debate with ‘critiques‘ both of the oral papers and the posters; their inclusion in the present volume
