Overview: Generally understandable introduction to artificial intelligence.Provides an outlook on future technologies.Explains clearly the limits of AIArtificial intelligence is a key technology with great expectations in science, industry, and everyday life. This book discusses both the perspectives and the limitations of this technology. This concerns the practical, theoretical, and conceptual challenges that AI has to face. In an early phase of symbolic AI, AI focused on formal programs (e.g., expert systems), in which rule-based knowledge was processed with the help of symbolic logic. Toda

Overview: This book is about how animals travel around on land, in water and in the air. It is mainly about mechanisms of locomotion, their limitations and their energy requirements. There is some information about muscle physiology in Chapter 1, but only as much as seems necessary for the discussions of mechanisms and energetics. There is information in later chapters about the patterns of repetitive movement involved, for instance, in different gaits, but nothing about nervous mechanisms of coordination. I have tried to include most ofthe widely-used methods of locomotion, but have not thoug

Overview: A learning system can be defined as a system which can adapt its behaviour to become more effective at a particular task or set of tasks. It consists of an architecture with a set of variable parameters and an algorithm. Learning systems are useful in many fields, one of the major areas being in control and system identification. This work covers major aspects of learning systems: system architecture, choice of performance index and methods measuring error. Major learning algorithms are explained, including proofs of convergence. Artificial neural networks, which are an important cla

Overview: This is the seventh volume of a well-established series in which expert practitioners discuss topical aspects of light scattering in solids. Emphasis is placed on electronic excitations between crystal-field split levels of transition-metal and rare-earth ions in crystals, among them high-Tc superconductors and magnetic excitations that appear in superlattices containing magnetic metals. The contents of this volume again demonstrates the usefulness of Raman spectroscopy for the investigation and characterization of this class of materials. It will be useful to advanced students and t

Overview: The introduction of lasers into operative medicine and advances in fiberoptic technology have made a significant contribution to minimally invasive surgery. This book was written to raise awareness of the capabilities and advant­ ages of lasers in urological surgery and to make this tech­ nology more widely accessible. The book reflects the cumulative experience of 25 years of laser research and clinical application, starting in 1972 with studies on laser­ tissue interactions, endoscopic studies with fiberoptic "sutures;‘ and the first clinical use of lasers in 1975 and 1976. These e

Overview: Der Loss Given Default (LGD) ist als die Verlustquote im Insolvenzfall definiert und stellt neben der Ausfallwahrscheinlichkeit eine wichtige Variable für die Quantifizierung des Kreditrisikos dar. Aufgrund der Objektorientierung des Geschäftes sowie der besonderen insolvenzrechtlichen Stellung des Leasinggebers kommt dem LGD für das Risikomanagement von Leasinggesellschaften eine zentrale Bedeutung zu...Martin Honal beschäftigt sich mit der empirischen Analyse von Einflussgrößen auf den LGD von Mobilien-Leasingverträgen.

Overview: An affordable new softcover edition of a classic text.The first survey of linear programming accessible to upper-division undergraduate and graduate students.A self-contained, concise mathematical int.“To this reviewer’s knowledge, this is the first book accessible to the upper division undergraduate or beginning graduate student that surveys linear programming from the Simplex Method…via the Ellipsoid algorithm to Karmarkar’s algorithm. Moreover, its point of view is algorithmic and thus it provides both a history and a case history of work in complexity theory. The presentation is

Overview: Covers a broad range of twentieth and twenty-first century literatures of interest within and outside of literary animal studies.Presents a literary history of the representation of meat.Links ethics,.This collection of essays centers on literary representations of meat-eating, bringing aesthetic questions into dialogue with more established research on the ethics and politics of meat. From the decline of traditional animal husbandry to the emergence of intensive agriculture and the biotechnological innovation of in vitro meat, the last hundred years have seen dramatic changes in mea

Overview: Lean Management Reference Book.Analysis and Implementation.Glossary and exercises with solutions.This book shows the basics, methods and principles of lean process design in production as well as in other areas such as development, engineering and administration. In addition, it serves as a reference work for practical use. Questions have been developed for each topic area for process analysis. These can be used for self-reflection and benchmarking.. .Numerous examples, a continuous fictitious industry case as well as learning objectives and exercises with solutions for each chapter

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Nowadays knowledge-based systems research and development essentially employs two paradigms of reasoning. There are on the one hand the logic-based approaches where logic is to be understood in a rather broad sense; usually these approaches are used in symbolic domains where numerical calculations are not the core challenge. On the other hand we find approximation oriented reasoning; methods of these kinds are mainly applied in numerical domains where approximation is part of the scientific methodology itself...However, from an abstract level all the

Overview: .Quinze ans après les premières expérimentations, le programme de dépistage des cancers du sein a été généralisé en France en 2004. Il s’adresse à plus de huit millions de femmes de 50 à 74 ans. Une action de santé publique d’une telle ampleur est exemplaire en Europe et surtout en France où le système de santé n’est pas centralisé. La nouvelle édition de cet ouvrage fait le point sur l’état actuel du programme et ses premiers résultats. Elle réactualise les aspects techniques, radiologiques, les indicateurs de l’évaluation, les problèmes de communication et médico-légaux et enfin l’

Overview: Rethinks our understanding of what remains from the early modern playhouse and how we reconstruct the staging of early modern drama.Reaches out beyond lost plays to cognate forms of cultural history fAs early modernists with an interest in the literary culture of Shakespeare’s time, we work in a field that contains many significant losses: of texts, of contextual information, of other forms of cultural activity. No account of early modern literary culture is complete without acknowledgment of these lacunae, and although lost drama has become a topic of increasing interest in Shakespe
