Overview: The book is motivated by two successful workshops on anesthesia and sleep organized during the Computational Neuroscience Conferences in Toronto in 2007 and in Berlin 2009..Elucidates important issues.Sleep and anesthesia resemble in many ways at a first glance. The most prominent common feature of course is the loss of consciousness, i.e. the loss of awareness of external stimuli. However a closer look at the loss of consciousness reveals already a difference between sleep and anesthesia: anesthesia is induced by an anesthetic drug whereas we may fall asleep without external cause.

Overview: Generalising classical concepts of probability theory, theinvestigation of operator (semi)-stable laws as possible limitdistributions of operator-normalized sums of i.i.d. random variable onfinite-dimensional vector space started in 1969. Currently, thistheory is still in progress and promises interesting applications.Parallel to this, similar stability concepts for probabilities ongroups were developed during recent decades. It turns out that theexistence of suitable limit distributions has a strong impact on thestructure of both the normalizing automorphisms and the underlyinggroup

Overview: Additive manufacturing or ‘3D printing’ has emerged into the mainstream in the last few years, with much hype about its revolutionary potential as the latest ‘disruptive technology’ to destroy existing business models, empower individuals and evade any kind of government control. This book examines the trajectory of 3D printing in practice and how it interacts with various areas of law, including intellectual property, product liability, gun laws, data privacy and fundamental/constitutional rights. A particular comparison is made between 3D printing and the Internet as this has been,

Overview: The perturbation of the earth by mankind causes earthquakes in a variety of situations. This phenomenon continues to be a major concern to engineers and scientists concerned with the mitigation of the consequences of this seismicity, as well as better understanding the processes at its origin. The present volume contains twelve papers from six countries, dealing with observations of triggered and induced seismicity in four continents. The reported cases include seismicity due to hard-rock mines, coal mines, underground research facilities for nuclear waste disposal, water injections,

Overview: .Fakt ist: Computerspielwelten faszinieren und fesseln zahllose Spieler*innen – doch das ‚wie‘ und ‚warum‘ ist medienwissenschaftlich kaum geklärt: wie können aus abstrakten Zeichen und Polygonstrukturen mental reale Orte der Erfahrung werden, die Spieler*innen immer wieder in ihren Bann ziehen? Diese Arbeit verbindet innovativ Ansätze aus Phänomenologie, Neuropsychologie, Semiotik, Rezeptionstheorie und kognitiver Narratologie und erfasst jede der zahlreichen Vermittlungsebenen digitaler Welterfahrung mit ihren jeweiligen Stärken und Eigenheiten: von unterbewusster psychomotorischer

Overview: Bis heute konnten die hohen wirtschaftlichen Erwartungen an das Wissensmanagement nicht erfüllt werden. Die Autoren weisen nach, dass ein in der Praxis erfolgreiches Sharing Knowledge nur auf der Basis von Sharing Expertise möglich ist, und zeigen auf, wie dieses gemeinsame Verständnis aufgebaut werden kann. Ferner machen sie es zur Grundlage für ein neues, die Entscheidungssicherheit erhöhendes Managementkonzept Management by Expertise und zeigen mithilfe der Reflexion von Fallbeispielen, wie dadurch Kreativität, Flexibilität und Innovation gefördert wird.978-3-8349-3242-6978-3-8349

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding Ph. D. thesis by the University of Muenster, Germany.Awarded with the WWU Dissertation Award for best PhD thesis in Physics 2019, University of Muenster, and the Research A.Structured singular light is an ubiquitous phenomenon. It is not only created when light refracts at a water surface but can also be found in the blue daytime sky. Such light fields include a spatially varying amplitude, phase, or polarization, enabling the occurrence of optical singularities. As structurally stable units of the light field, these singularities are particularly interest

Overview: A comprehensive volume containing tutorial, design methodologies, and applications: material previously not available in one place..Provides a contemporary view of the field of stochastic computing, aThis book covers the history and recent developments of stochastic computing. Stochastic computing (SC) was first introduced in the 1960s for logic circuit design, but its origin can be traced back to von Neumann‘s work on probabilistic logic. In SC, real numbers are encoded by random binary bit streams, and information is carried on the statistics of the binary streams. SC offers advant
