Overview: In the extensive field of earth sciences, with its many subdisciplines, the trans­ fer of knowledge is primarily established via personal communication, during meetings, by reading journal articles, or by consulting books. Because more information is available than can be assimilated, it is necessary for the individual to search selectively. Books take more time from the inception of an idea until publication than any of the other means of communication men­ tioned. As a consequence, their function is somewhat different. Many good books are a compilation of up to date knowledge and s

Overview: This book is a collection of chapters describing work carried out as part of a large project at BT Laboratories to study the application of connectionist methods to problems in vision, speech and natural language processing. Also, since the theoretical formulation and the hardware realization of neural networks are significant tasks in themselves, these problems too were addressed. The book, therefore, is divided into five Parts, reporting results in vision, speech, natural language, hardware implementation and network architectures. The three editors of this book have, at one time o

Overview: .Neural networks are a family of powerful machine learning models. This book focuses on the application of neural network models to natural language data. The first half of the book (Parts I and II) covers the basics of supervised machine learning and feed-forward neural networks, the basics of working with machine learning over language data, and the use of vector-based rather than symbolic representations for words. It also covers the computation-graph abstraction, which allows to easily define and train arbitrary neural networks, and is the basis behind the design of contemporary

Overview: In der aktuellen mathematikdidaktischen Diskussion wird das Konzept der natürlichen Differenzierung als eine adäquate Möglichkeit angesehen, mit heterogenen Lerngruppen umzugehen. Natürliche Differenzierung ermöglicht Lernenden das gemeinsame Arbeiten an einem Lerngegenstand auf unterschiedlichen Schwierigkeitsniveaus. Die Studie wurde im Mathematikunterricht dritter Klassen am Beispiel des Lernangebots „Kombi-Gleichungen“ durchgeführt. Dabei wurde empirisch untersucht, ob Lernende einer heterogenen Lerngruppe ein natürlich differenzierendes arithmetisches Lernangebot tatsächlich ihr

Overview: This book is a collection of extended versions of the papers presented at the Symposium on Next Generation Wireless Networks, May 26, 2000, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, NJ. Each chapter includes, in addition to technical contributions, a tutorial of the corresponding area. It has been a privilege to bring together these contributions from researchers on the leading edge of the field. The papers were submitted in response to a call for papers aiming to concentrate on the applications and services for the “next generation,” deliberately omitting the numeric reference so

Overview: Ich habe die vorliegende Untersuchung schon vor dem II. Weltkrieg begonnen. Über die Höhe des Blutdruckes und die kardiavaskuläre Mortalität verschiedener weißer und namentlich farbiger Völker bestehen schwankende, unsichere und viel­ fach unrichtige Annahmen. Da diesem Problem eine physiologische, medizinische, anthropologische, entwicklungsgeschichtliche, versicherungsmedizinische und epi­ demiologische Bedeutung zukommt, so entschloß ich mich zu seiner Bearbeitung, und zwar auf Grund aller erreichbaren Blutdruckkollektive möglichst vieler weißer und farbiger Völker. Da die Literat

Overview: In the Netherlands the Institute for Soil Fertility Research plays a major role in soil biological, soil physical and plant nutritional research on the availability of nitrogen to crops. Main subjects of research are nitrogen turnover in the crop-soil ecosystem through biological transformations, nitrogen transport through the soil and nitrogen losses by leaching, denitrification and volatilization, and nitrogen use efficiency of various crops and cropping systems. The current knowledge in the different fields of research is integrated in simulation models. Simulation models not only

Overview: Im Lebensmitteleinzelhandel nimmt die Konzentration weiter zu. Die Händler nutzen den Wettbewerb zwischen den Herstellern um die knappen Regalplätze aus, indem sie immer höhere Preiszugeständnisse fordern und diese auch erhalten. Lebensmittelhersteller, die den Preisforderungen nicht genügen, werden nicht gelistet und vom Markt gedrängt. Martina Schulze untersucht, ob die zu beobachtenden Verhaltensweisen auf eine effiziente Anpassung der Händler-/Herstellerbeziehungen und auf veränderte Marktbedingungen zurückzuführen sind oder lediglich auf der Ausnutzung einer Machtposition beruhe

Overview: These are the proceedings of the international conference on "Nonlinear numerical methods and Rational approximation II" organised by Annie Cuyt at the University of Antwerp (Belgium), 05-11 September 1993.

Overview: You can‘t tell how deep a puddle is until you step in it. When I am asked about my profession, I have two ways of answering. If I want a short discussion, I say that I am a mathematician; if I want a long discussion, I say that I try to understand how the human brain works. A long discussion often leads to further questions: What does it mean to understand "how the brain works"? Does it help to be trained in mathematics when you try to understand the brain, and what kind of mathematics can help? What makes a mathematician turn into a neuroscientist? This may lead into a metascientifi
