Farming Human Pathogens: Ecological Resilience and Evolutionary Process
ISBN: 9780387922126 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Farming Human Pathogens: Ecological Resilience and Evolutionary Process introduces a cutting-edge mathematical formalism based on the asymptotic limit theorems of information theory to describe how punctuated shifts in mesoscale ecosystems can entrain patterns of gene expression and organismal evolution. The authors apply the new formalism toward characterizing a number of infectious diseases that have evolved in response to the world as humans have made it. Many of the human pathogens that are emerging out from underneath epidemiological control are 'farmed' in the metaphorical...Farming Human Pathogens: Ecological Resilience and Evolutionary Process introduces a cutting-edge mathematical formalism based on the asy... |

Psychiatric Disorders of Automata: Models of animal cognition and the failure of hypercomplex real-time computing systems
ISBN: 9781467957090 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The relentless march toward massively parallel 'Self-X' machines that must program, protect, and repair themselves while managing critical phenomena raises questions of safety and stability. What are the failure modes of the new machines that will direct nuclear reactors, power grids, air traffic control and large-scale financial transactions? Is 'graceful degradation under stress' a realistic expectation? Study of animal cognition suggests that evolution has had only modest success stabilizing individual minds and formal analysis shows that both sudden and subtle failures in massively...

Deception and Delay in Organized Conflict: Essays on the Mathematical Theory of Maskirovka
ISBN: 9783030961763 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book explores the role of deception, delay, and self-deception in the dynamics of organized conflict, taking a formal approach that hews closely to the asymptotic limit theorems of information and control theories. The resulting probability models can, with some effort—and some confidence—be converted to statistical tools for the analysis of real-time observational and ‘experimental’ data on institutionalized confrontation across both traditional and emerging ‘Clausewitz Landscapes’.

Mathematical Essays on Embodied Cognition: Insights from Information and Control Theories
ISBN: 9783031837081 / Angielski / Twarda / 2025 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book provides a unique formal foundation for the development of statistical tools useful in the exploration of observational and experimental data related to embodied cognition. The asymptotic limit theorems of information and control theories can be used to construct statistical tools analogous to -- but different from -- regression models for the study of the often highly punctuated cognitive phenomena embedded in and hence influenced by a surrounding ecosystem of which the phenomena are themselves part. The book builds probability models based on those theorems that incorporate...

Information Theory Models of Instabilities in Critical Systems
ISBN: 9789813147287 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The book is a unique exploration of a spectrum of unexpected analogs to psychopathologies likely to afflict real-time critical systems, written by a specialist in the epidemiology of mental disorders. The purpose of this book is to develop a set of information-theoretic statistical tools for analyzing the instabilities of real-time cognitive systems at those varying scales and levels of organization, with special focus on high level machine function.The book should be of particular interest to both industry and academic scientists, and government regulators, concerned with driverless cars on...

ISBN: 9783319699349 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 45 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The asymptotic limit theorems of control and information theories make it possible to explore the dynamics of collapse likely to afflict large-scale systems of autonomous ground vehicles that communicate with each other and with an embedding intelligent roadway.

Cognitive Dynamics on Clausewitz Landscapes: The Control and Directed Evolution of Organized Conflict
ISBN: 9783030264260 / Angielski / Miękka / 2020 / 165 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book applies cutting-edge methods from cognitive and evolutionary theories to develop models of conflict between hierarchically-structured cognitive entities under circumstances of imprecision, uncertainty and stress. Characterized as friction and the fog-of-war by the Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz, such conditions impair institutional cognition in real-time conflict and pose a real and continuing threat to organizations, such as the US military. In a linked collection of formal essays and a mathematical appendix, the book explores different aspects of cognitive and...

An Ecosystem Approach to Economic Stabilization: Escaping the Neoliberal Wilderness
ISBN: 9781138831865 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The creation of economic institutions that can function well under substantial uncertainties -- Black Swans -- is analogous to the dilemmas confronting our hunter-gatherer forefathers in the face of large-scale ecological unpredictability. The ultimate solution was not the development of a super hunter-gatherer technology that could ride out repeated catastrophe, but rather the invention, in neolithic times, of culturally-adapted 'farmed' ecosystems constructed to maximize food yield and minimize risks of famine. Recent advances in evolutionary and ecosystem theory applied to...

Information Approach to Mitochondrial Dysfunction, An: Extending Swerdlow's Hypothesis
ISBN: 9789814663502 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The monograph applies sophisticated topological symmetry tools to biological applications of information theory, along with a Black-Scholes model invocation of the Data Rate Theorem which links information and control theories. The focus is on statistical mechanics and other models that explore pathological phase transitions — driven by changes in available rates of mitochondrial free energy — in physiological functions, a cutting-edge topic in the study of chronic disease. One of the key focuses is Alzheimer's disease — a relatively simple canonical example.

Collective Consciousness and Its Discontents: Institutional Distributed Cognition, Racial Policy, and Public Health in the United States
ISBN: 9780387767642 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. An earlier book by Rodrick Wallace entitled Consciousness: A Mathematical Treatment of the Global Neuronal Workspace Model, introduced a formal information-theoretic approach to individual consciousness implementing approaches developed previously by the cognitive scientist Bernard Baars and the philosopher Fred Dretske. This book takes a more formal 'groupoid' perspective and generalizes the results of that book to processes of 'distributed cognition' characteristic of large institutions that can entertain several, sometimes many, simultaneous 'global workspaces' which must compete...

Mathematical Approach to Multilevel, Multiscale Health Interventions, A: Pharmaceutical Industry Decline and Policy Response
ISBN: 9781848169968 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book, based on published studies, takes a unique perspective on the 30-year collapse of pharmaceutical industry productivity in the search for small molecule “magic bullet” interventions. The relentless escalation of inflation-adjusted cost per approved medicine in the United States — from $200 million in 1950 to $1.2 billion in 2010 — has driven industry giants to, at best, slavish imitation in drug design, and at worst, abandonment of research and embracing of widespread fraud in consumer marketing.The book adapts formalism across a number of disciplines to...
