Overview: Some will wonder why this book, with its specific focus on the pro­ cess of change in psychotherapy, was chosen for inclusion in "Crit­ ical Issues in Psychiatry: A Series for Residents and Clinicians" as our books are generally devoted to a broad topical survey of some im­ portant clinical area in the practice of psychiatry or a related mental health discipline. The answer will become rapidly apparent to the reader, for Dr. Horowitz has developed an exciting, creative, and practical method whereby any psychotherapist can understand, monitor, conceptualize, and evaluate the process o

Overview: What the concept of a social machine is and how the activities of non-programmers are contributing to machine intelligence.How modern artificial intelligence technologies, such as Watson, are evolvingWill your next doctor be a human being—or a machine? Will you have a choice? If you do, what should you know before making it?.This book introduces the reader to the pitfalls and promises of artificial intelligence (AI) in its modern incarnation and the growing trend of systems to "reach off the Web" into the real world. The convergence of AI, social networking, and modern computing is c

Overview: Socially situated planning provides one mechanism for improving the social awareness ofagents. Obviously this work isin the preliminary stages and many of the limitation and the relationship to other work could not be addressed in such a short chapter. The chief limitation, of course, is the strong commitment to de?ning social reasoning solely atthe meta-level, which restricts the subtlety of social behavior. Nonetheless, our experience in some real-world military simulation applications suggest that the approach, even in its preliminary state, is adequate to model some social intera

Overview: Includes supplementary material: SmartData empowers personal data by wrapping it in a cloak of intelligence such that it now becomes the individual’s virtual proxy in cyberspace. No longer will personal data be shared or stored in the cloud as merely data, encrypted or otherwise; it will now be stored and shared as a constituent of the binary string specifying the entire SmartData agent. This agent proactively builds-in privacy, security and user preferences, right from the outset, not as an afterthought..SmartData: Privacy Meets Evolutionary Robotics. includes the advances made in t

Overview: Zuverlässige, qualifizierte Orientierung für Studium und Praxis"Dieses Buch knüpft an den Erfolg des seit längerem vergriffenen Standardwerkes an, das 1995 unter dem Titel "Studien- und Forschungsführer: Informatik, Technische Informatik, Wirtschaftsinformatik" von Prof. Rainer Bischoff herausgegeben wurde..Vorteil des Werkes ist die detaillierte Kenntnis der Zielgruppe und der Institution der Fachhochschule. Im neuen Titel des Werkes spiegelt sich die große Praxisnähe des Buches wieder, was nach wie vor der Vorzug eines IT-Studiums an der Fachhochschule ist. Der Student erhält eine

Overview: Offers a transcontinental comparison of the history, theory and practice of two increasingly important areas in the study of public administration and public policy: social equity and urban developmen.The demographic pressure caused by migration offers a considerable challenge for urban centers today. It results in an uneven development of the community and focus of urban planners becomes how to provide decent, low-cost housing and transportation in order to facilitate the integration of poorer residents among the rest of the community. In large industrialized countries the challenge

The present status of small electric vehicle (SEV) technologies, the market situation and main hindering factors for market success as well as options to attain a higher market share including new mobility concepts are highlighted. An

Overview: "Tension" is an internationally recognized word. Its omnI­ presence in our public media--in our newspapers, on TV, in magazines, and on radio--as well as in our everyday conversations indicate that we are well aware of the problems of over-tenseness. Pulp news­ papers and magazines increase their sales with promises of quick relief for tension problems. Business executives complain at the end of the day of being "uptight", and often accept a hotel chain‘s invitation to "unwind" at their bar. Soap operas attract large audiences, in part capitalizing on tension problems--irritable ar­

Overview: Develops a general theory of reform in advanced democracies that incorporates ‘modern statecraft’.Provides guidance as to how policy-makers can govern well and undertake welfare-enhancing reform.Exami.This book explains how advanced democracies and welfare states can achieve welfare-enhancing, liberal institutional reform. It develops a general theory based on an extended comparative case study of Sweden and Australia over the last 25 years, and offers an in-depth contribution to the field of institutional change, explaining how to govern a country well and how to overcome different

Overview: Discusses the methods and principles of statistical analysis.Discusses the various applications of statistics to food science.A useful tool for biostatisticians.Includes supplementary material:   Many statistical innovations are linked to applications in food science. For example, the student t-test (a statistical method) was developed to monitor the quality of stout at the Guinness Brewery and multivariate statistical methods are applied widely in the spectroscopic analysis of foods. Nevertheless, statistical methods are most often associated with engineering, mathematics, and the m

Overview: The history of applications of space group theory to solid state physics goes back more than five decades. The periodicity of the lattice and the definition of a k-space were the corner-stones of this application. Prof. Volker Heine in Vol. 35 of Solid State Physics (1980) noted that, even in perfect crystals, where k-space methods are appropriate, the local properties (such as the charge densi­ ty, bond order, etc.) are defined by the local environment of one atom. Natural­ ly, "k-space methods" are not appropriate for crystals with point defects, sur­ faces and interfaces, or for a

Overview: Phenomenology as practised by Adolf Reinach ( 1883-191 7) in his all too brief philosophical career exemplifies all the virtues of Husserl‘s Logical Investigations. It is sober, concerned to be clear and deals with specific problems. It is therefore understandable that, in a philosophical climate in which Husserl‘s masterpiece has come to be regarded as a mere stepping stone on the way to his later Phenomeno­ logy, or even to the writings of a Heidegger, Reinach‘s contributions to exact philo­ sophy have been all but totally forgotten. The topics on which Reinach wrote most illuminat
