Overview: It is a truly multidisciplinary book that provides interesting insights into mathematics, philosophy and neurobiology.The book establishes a common working theoretical framework for mathematicians, ph.The purpose of the book is to advance in the understanding of brain function by defining a general framework for representation based on category theory. The idea is to bring this mathematical formalism into the domain of neural representation of physical spaces, setting the basis for a theory of mental representation, able to relate empirical findings, uniting them into a sound theoret

Overview: Outstanding CSE textbook with real applications.Graduate level book suitable for CSE courses.Includes supplementary material: This book is about solving partial differential equations (PDEs). Such equa- tions are used to model a wide range ofphenomena in virtually all fields ofsci- ence and technology. Inthe last decade, the general availability of extremely powerful computers has shifted the focus in computational mathematics from simplified model problems to much more sophisticated models resembling in- tricate features of real life. This change challenges our knowledge in computer

Taking a broad, media-philosophical approach, it explores ambient sound as a basic dimension of the sonic environment, sonic technologies, sonic arts and the material staging of listening..Through analyses of key concepts such as surroundability, mediatization, immanen

Overview: This edited volume addresses key debates around African football, identity construction, fan cultures, and both African and global media narratives. Using the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa as a lens, it explores how football in Africa is intimately bound up with deeper social, cultural and political currents.978-1-349-48323-5978-1-137-39223-7Series ISSN 2662-3404 Series E-ISSN 2662-3412

Overview: The aim of this book is to introduce the reader to the fascinating world of convex polytopes. The highlights of the book are three main theorems in the combinatorial theory of convex polytopes, known as the Dehn-Sommerville Relations, the Upper Bound Theorem and the Lower Bound Theorem. All the background information on convex sets and convex polytopes which is m~eded to under- stand and appreciate these three theorems is developed in detail. This background material also forms a basis for studying other aspects of polytope theory. The Dehn-Sommerville Relations are classical, wherea

Overview: Der Leitfaden zur bedarfsgerechten Beratung in Sachen AltersvorsorgeAnbieter und ihre Vertriebspartner k?nnen durch gute ?ganzheitliche“ Beratung an der Altersvorsorge ihrer Kunden dann verdienen, wenn diese wiederum inklusive staatlicher F?rderung eine faire Nettoverzinsung erzielen. Altersvorsorge ist Absicherung fürs Alter und nicht mit Spekulation zu verwechseln. Verluste führen hier nicht nur zur Katerstimmung am Morgen danach, sondern k?nnen der Einstieg in Altersarmut sein. Deshalb braucht der Bürger Transparenz im Altersvorsorge-Dschungel, die ihm die Lektüre dieses Buches ve

Overview: The book attempts to explain thinking from a biological perspective..The book includes a great deal of previously ignored or discounted evidence and many new ideas for research are suggested..The bookThis book describes the author’s view of how the mind “thinks” at various levels of operation. These levels include nonconscious mind (as in spinal/brainstem reflexes and neuroendocrine controls), subconscious mind, and conscious mind. In the attempt to explain conscious mind, there is considerable critique of arguments over whether or not free will is an illusion. Finally, the author su

Overview: K. Zinganell Der Beginn der modernen Anasthesie flillt in die Mitte des 19. lahrhunderts, eines Jahrhunderts, an dessen Anfang die politischen Umwalzungen Napoleons standen, an dessen Ende in Frankreich die Dritte Republik und in Deutschland ein konstitutionel- les Kaiserreich bestand. Ein Jahrhundert, in dem die Damptkraft der Menschheit dienstbar gemacht wurde, als 1807 der erste Raddampfer namens "Clermont" auf dem Hudson fuhr, als 1819 die "Savannah" zum ersten Mal unter Dampf und Segel den Atlantik Oberquerte [5], als 1825 Stephenson‘s "Locomotion No.1" die erste Offentliche Dam

Overview: The usual view in a mixed economy is that some goods and services are produced privately and some, such as transportation, are produced publicly. Private institutions, such as households and entrepreneurs, produce and con- sume goods and services in pursuing their parochial interests, while the pub- lic sector attempts to broaden public interests. More precisely, the public sector constructs new transportation systems, improves their capaci ties, and regulates services and prices; and the private sector chooses locations of pro- duction, modes of transportation, and routes of shipmel

Overview: .Automatic Re-engineering of Software Using GeneticProgramming. describes the application of Genetic Programming to areal world application area - software re-engineering ingeneral and automatic parallelization specifically. Unlike most usesof Genetic Programming, this book evolves sequences of provabletransformations rather than actual programs. It demonstrates that thebenefits of this approach are twofold: first, the time required forevaluating a population is drastically reduced, and second, thetransformations can subsequently be used to prove that the new programis functionally e

Overview: In recent times it has been stated that many dynamical systems of classical mathematical physics and mechanics are endowed with symplectic structures, given in the majority of cases by Poisson brackets. Very often such Poisson structures on corresponding manifolds are canonical, which gives rise to the possibility of producing their hidden group theoretical essence for many completely integrable dynamical systems. It is a well understood fact that great part of comprehensive integrability theories of nonlinear dynamical systems on manifolds is based on Lie-algebraic ideas, by means o

Overview: This book concerns peer-to-peer applications and mechanisms operating on the Internet, particularly those that are not fully automated and involve significant human interaction. So, the realm of interest is the intersection of distributed systems and online social networking. Generally, simple models are described to clarify the ideas. Beginning with short overviews of caching, graph theory and game theory, we cover the basic ideas of structured and unstructured search. We then describe a simple framework for reputations and for iterated referrals and consensus. This framework is app
