Overview: In 1981, the Norwegian physiologist and cyberneticist, Rune Aaslid, developed a device which made it possible to apply the transcranial Doppler sonographic technique in man. In 1983, Dr. Albrecht Harders took on the project of working out a clinically practicable method that would allow atraumatic measurements to be made of the blood flow velocity in the large branches ofthe circle of Willis. The technique has now become a competitor of the conventional methods of measuring the intracranial hemodynamics, including angiography and the xenon method of cerebral blood flow measurement. H

Overview: Recent research on Nature Inspired Cooperative Strategies for Optimization.Edited outcome of the conference NICSO 2011 Nature Inspired Cooperative Strategies for Optimization October 20-22, Cluj Napoc.Biological and other natural processes have always been a source of inspiration for computer science and information technology. Many emerging problem solving techniques integrate advanced evolution and cooperation strategies, encompassing a range of spatio-temporal scales for visionary conceptualization of evolutionary computation..The previous editions of NICSO were held in Granada, S

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Reliable computing techniques are essential if the validity of the output of a - merical algorithm is to be guaranteed to be correct. Our society relies more and more on computer systems. Usually, our systems appear to work successfully, but there are sometimes serious, and often minor, errors. Validated computing is one essential technology to achieve increased software reliability. Formal - gor in the de?nition of data types, the computer arithmetic, in algorithm design, and in program execution allows us to guarantee that the stated problem has (or

Overview: First dedicated book on non-linear feedback neural networks.Contains thorough discussion on transcendental energy function.Includes special chapter on Hopfield Network, its applications, and limitatioThis book aims to present a viable alternative to the Hopfield Neural Network (HNN) model for analog computation. It is well known the standard HNN suffers from problems of convergence to local minima, and requirement of a large number of neurons and synaptic weights. Therefore, improved solutions are needed. The non-linear synapse neural network (NoSyNN) is one such possibility and is d

Overview: Describes how different narrative tasks are conducted and analyzed.Proposes a new analytical approach for child narrative research.A handy guideline for school teachers to adopt the research tasks in This book reports the current aspects of children from multilingual families in Taiwan and describes these children‘s perceptions towards their linguistic, academic, and social development from a survey study and a discourse analysis study. The discourse analysis study focuses on the narrative developments of children born to Southeast Asian mothers versus average Taiwanese children acro
