Overview: In 1965, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore, in ""Cramming more components onto Integrated Circuits"" in Electronics Magazine (April 19, 1965), made the observation that, in the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years. Since its inception in 1965 until recent times, this law has been used in the semiconductor industry to guide investments for long-term planning as well as to set targets for research and development. These investments have helped in a productive utilization of wealth, which created more employmen

Overview: In letzter Zeit ist immer öfter von "neuronalen Netzen" oder "Neurocomputern" die Rede. Von ihren Fähigkeiten werden vielfach wahre Wunderdinge berichtet. Wer allerdings - über eine bloße Begriffsbestimmung hinaus - nähere Auskünfte über neu­ ronale Netze sucht und vielleicht sogar den Wunsch verspürt, ihre Funktionsweise zu verstehen, der wird bestenfalls auf anspruchsvolle und zumeist englischsprachige Lite­ ratur verwiesen. Der Aufwand, um neuronale Netze zu verstehen, ist also beträchtlich. Diese Situation ist nicht allein darauf zurückzuführen, daß neuronale Netze eine relativ n

Overview: Here is one of the first really thorough presentations on smart robots. Robots, machine vision systems, sensors, manipulators, expert systems, and artificial intelligence concepts combined in state-of-the-art computer integrated manufacturing systems. These "smart" robots increase produc­ tivity and improve the quality of our products. This comprehensive volume, which is extensively illustrated, provides a unique synthesis and overview of the emerging field of smart robots, the basic approaches for each of the constituents systems, the techniques used, applications, the descriptions

Overview: The collected papers in this volume cover the effects of environmental stress under a biological and energetic model. Examples are taken from fossil and living animal populations, and from outlier human populations and traditional societies. These examples indicate that stress increases energy demands and so reduces reproductive fitness. A wide range of stressful situations also are analyzed under the less stringent conditions experienced by modern human populations, when cultural factors assume importance. These emphasize the interaction between genetic, physiological, psychological

Overview: This monograph describes an innovative prototyping frameworkfor data and knowledge intensive systems. The proposed approach willprove especially useful for advanced and research-oriented projectsthat aim to develop a traditional database perspective intofully-fledged advanced database approaches and knowledge engineeringtechnologies. .The book is organised in two parts. The first part, comprisingchapters 1 to 4, provides an introduction to the concept ofprototyping, to database and knowledge-based technologies, and to themain issues involved in the integration of data and knowledgeen

Overview: No other books focused on multisensory psychophysical laws.Author is a “giant” in the field of psychophysics.Sensory Neuroscience: Four Laws of Psychophysics organizes part of psychophysics -- a science of quantitative relationships between human sensations and the stimuli that evoke them. Although psychophysics belongs to sensory neuroscience, and is coupled to neurophysiology, it has also branched out to various specialized disciplines, including the disciplines of vision and hearing, ophthalmology, optometry, otology, and audiology. Due to this diversification and fragmentation, p

Overview: Presents global and regional topics of relevance addressing poverty in the context of SDGs and leadership in Implementing the SDGs.Profiles the mainstreaming of SDGs in service delivery and local gove.Written by 43 authors from Africa, Europe and Latin America, this book presents 19 topics addressing poverty in the context of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), leadership in implementing SDGs, and SDGs in service delivery and local government. As the world has gone past five years of implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the intertwined 17 SDGs, new opportuni

Overview: Understanding of elements broadly related to the Sustainable Development Goals.Multidimensional crises, their interplay, and possible resolutions.People, their behavior and their habits and‘many problThe volume provides a unique view on multidimensional crises, their interplay, and possible resolutions for sustainable life patterns and is therefore broadly related to the Sustainable Development Goals. Traditional unidimensional and technocratic strategies often fall short. Ultimately, people, their behavior and their habits are at the source of many problems. Therefore, it is imperat

Overview: Provides a holistic inter-disciplinary evaluation of South Africa’s deterioration of its freshwater resources.Presents suitable recommendations to transform current freshwater predicaments into priori.The book provides a critical evaluation of South Africa’s freshwater resources to illustrate the way in which its freshwater resources, water access, services and infrastructure have continued to decline over the past three decades. The continued decline of water governance, management, water service delivery, dilapidated water infrastructure, dysfunctional local governments and overall

Overview: Offers insight into trends & challenges of the welfare states and social service provision in Central & Southeast Europe.Gives historical perspective of social policy and social work developments in C.This book provides a picture of recent developments in social policy and social work in Central and Southeast Europe, especially trends after the COVID-19 pandemic, which necessitated significant welfare modifications. Through a comparative method, the book draws analytical conclusions about the interdependence between welfare state reforms and social work practices in Central and South

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Photoelectron spectroscopy has matured considerably during the last decade. The experimental techniques were improved impressively, and a deeper theoretical insight into the underlying mechanisms of photoemission could be achieved. It seemed that it was time to take stock of what has been accomplished so far. The collection of tables and diagrams given in this volume is a contribution to a larger programme aiming at a critical, and as comprehensive as possible, tabulation of electronic structure information obtained by electron and photon spectroscopy
