Expert Critiquing Systems: Practice-Based Medical Consultation by Computer
ISBN: 9781461386391 / Angielski / Miękka / 175 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Computer technology has impacted the practice of medicine in dramatic ways. Imaging techniques provide noninvasive tools which alter the diagnostic process. Sophisticated monitoring equipment presents new levels of detail for both patient management and research. In most of these technology applications, the com puter is embedded in the device; its presence is transparent to the user. There is also a growing number of applications in which the health care provider directly interacts with a computer. In many cases, these applications are limited to administrative functions, e.g., office...

Dextrous Robot Hands
ISBN: 9781461389767 / Angielski / Miękka / 345 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Manipulation using dextrous robot hands has been an exciting yet frustrating research topic for the last several years. While significant progress has occurred in the design, construction, and low level control of robotic hands, researchers are up against fundamental problems in developing algorithms for real-time computations in multi-sensory processing and motor control. The aim of this book is to explore parallels in sensorimotor integration in dextrous robot and human hands, addressing the basic question of how the next generation of dextrous hands should evolve. By bringing together...

Inside Versus Outside: Endo- and Exo-Concepts of Observation and Knowledge in Physics, Philosophy and Cognitive Science
ISBN: 9783642486494 / Angielski / Miękka / 415 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book discusses a fundamental problem of the natural sciences, namely, the observation of physical and biological systems and the principles by which we gain information about these systems. Is it relevant whether the human observer is himself a part of the system in question? What difference does this make to our representation of the physical world? These difficult questions have occupied scientists and philosophers from Decartes to Bell. In the light of recent advances in quantum mechanics and the theory of dynamical systems, there is good reason to tackle these problems afresh. This...

Information Processing in the Cortex: Experiments and Theory
ISBN: 9783642499692 / Angielski / Miękka / 477 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There is a tradition of theoretical brain science which started in the forties (Wiener, McCulloch, Turing, Craik, Hebb). This was continued by a small number of people without interruption up to the present. It has definitely provided main guiding lines for brain science, the devel opment of which has been spectacular in the last decades. However, within the bulk of experimental neuroscience, the theoreticians some times had a difficult stand, since it was felt that the times were not ripe yet and the methods not yet available for a development of a true theoretical speciality in this field....

ISBN: 9783642759475 / Angielski / Miękka / 462 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This most unusual book results from the NATO Advanced Research Work shop, "Designing Hypertext/Hypermedia for Learning," held in Rottenburg am Neckar, FRO, from July 3-8, 1989. The idea for the workshop resulted from the burgeoning interest in hypertext combined with the frustrating lack of literature on leaming applications for hypertext. There was little evidence in 1988 that hypertext could successfully support learning out comes. A few projects were investigating hypertext for learning, but few conclusions were available and little if any advice on how to design hyper text for learning...

The Local Information Dynamics of Distributed Computation in Complex Systems
ISBN: 9783642329517 / Angielski / Twarda / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The nature of distributed computation in complex systems has often been described in terms of memory, communication and processing. This thesis presents a complete information-theoretic framework to quantify these operations on information (i.e. information storage, transfer and modification), and in particular their dynamics in space and time. The framework is applied to cellular automata, and delivers important insights into the fundamental nature of distributed computation and the dynamics of complex systems (e.g. that gliders are dominant information transfer agents). Applications to...

Automated Theorem Proving
ISBN: 9783528085209 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Among the dreams of mankind is the one dealing with the mecha nization of human thought. As the world today has become so complex that humans apparently fail to manage it properly with their intellectual gifts, the realization of this dream might be regarded even as something like a necessity. On the other hand, the incredible advances in computer technology let it appear as a real possibility. Of course, it is not easy to say what sort of thing human thinking actually is, a theme which over the centuries occupied many thinkers, mainly philosophers. From a critical point of view most of their...

Fundamental Limitations in Filtering and Control
ISBN: 9781447112440 / Angielski / Miękka / 369 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book deals with the issue of fundamental limitations in filtering and control system design. This issue lies at the very heart of feedback theory since it reveals what is achievable, and conversely what is not achievable, in feedback systems. The subject has a rich history beginning with the seminal work of Bode during the 1940's and as subsequently published in his well-known book Feedback Amplifier Design (Van Nostrand, 1945). An interesting fact is that, although Bode's book is now fifty years old, it is still extensively quoted. This is supported by a science citation count which...
