When confronted with the hows and whys of nature's computational engines, some prefer to focus upon neural function: addressing issues of neural system behavior and its relation to natural intelligence. Then there are those who prefer the study of the "mechanics" of neural systems: the nuts and bolts of the "wetware": the neurons and synapses. Those who investigate pulse coded implementations ofartificial neural networks know what it means to stand at the boundary which lies between these two worlds: not just asking why natural neural systems behave as they do, but also how they achieve their marvelous feats. The research results presented in this book not only address more conventional abst...
Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) provides cloud-like subscription-oriented services at the edge of mobile network. For low latency and high bandwidth services, edge computing assisted IoT (Internet of Things) has become the pillar for the development of smart environments and their applications such as smart home, smart health, smart traffic management, smart agriculture, and smart city. This book covers the fundamental concept of the MEC and its real-time applications. The book content is organized into three parts: Part A covers the architecture and working model of MEC, Part B focuses on the systems, platforms, services and issues of MEC, and Part C emphases on various applications of MEC. This book is targeted for graduate students, researchers, developers, and service providers interested in learning about the state-of-the-art in MEC technologies, innovative applications, and future research directions.
La gran lección de vida que recibió "Mauri", al notificarle su médico urólogo que tenía cáncer de próstata y sobrevivir a una cirugía complicada que lo mantuvo en convalecencia por más de 2 meses, lo motivó a meditar sobre la necesidad de escribir sus experiencias deportivas como corredor, ciclista y atleta "máster", aportándolas mediante los programas de entrenamiento que utilizó, para ganar competencias de ciclismo, triatlones olímpicos, medios Iron Man, un tercer lugar en el Iron Man y destacadas participaciones en innumerables carreras pedestres desde 5km. hasta el maratón. Sin duda servirá como una guía para aquellos que quieran disfrutar de cualquiera de estos deportes sin importar su edad, además sepan que con la adquisición de este ejempla, contribuyen con un granito de arena con los niños que padecen cáncer y son tratados en el Centro Estatal de Cancerología Dr. Miguel Dorantes Mesa en Xalapa, Veracruz.
El arribo al Río de la Plata de las obras y las ideas del socialismo romántico, generadas principalmente en Francia, España e Italia desde fines del siglo XVIII, fue juzgado como un fenómeno de importación, una moda cultural efímera y superficial limitada al consumo de las elites letradas. ¿Qué lugar podían tener esas obras producidas en las grandes metrópolis europeas en la periferia del mundo civilizado? ¿Qué podían ofrecerle Jean-Jacques Rousseau a Mariano Moreno o Pierre Leroux a Esteban Echeverría? ¿Qué recepción podía esperarse de las más modernas teorías de la democracia popular por parte de pueblos convulsionados por guerras civiles y caudillismos regionales? Con ...
This book argues that a significant amount of bias in representation traces its roots to the information, opinions, and attitudes that politicians bring to office. It suggests that even if all voters participated equally, there would still be significant levels of bias in American politics because of differences in elite participation.
My Father’s Shoes is, at its core, an anthology of short stories. The book is allegoric and the shoes are metaphoric. Unlike most anthologies, however, these stories are an amalgam of themselves. They integrate and coalesce. There is a rhythm and a cadence both in substance and in form. This book was initially written as a gift to my father. I wanted to share certain memories with him that were meaningful and lasting. I wanted him to know, from my perspective, just how important he was in my life. He never really understood the profound impact that he had on the lives of other people –especially his family. Because of that humility, or perhaps in honor of it, I wanted to him know that he...
The field of cellular neural networks (CNNs) is of growing importance in non linear circuits and systems and it is maturing to the point of becoming a new area of study in general nonlinear theory. CNNs emerged through two semi nal papers co-authored by Professor Leon O. Chua back in 1988. Since then, the attention that CNNs have attracted in the scientific community has been vast. For instance, there are international workshops dedicated to CNNs and their applications, special issues published in both the International Journal of Circuit Theory and in the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems, and there are also Associate Editors appointed in the latter journal especially for the CNN fi...
In Critical Marxism in Mexico, Stefan Gandler, coming from the tradition of the Frankfurt School, reveals the contributions that Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez and Bolívar Echeverría have made to universal thought. While in recent times Latin America has taken its distance from global power centers, and reorganised its political and economic relations, in philosophy the same tendency is barely visible. Critical Marxism in Mexico is a contribution to the reorganisation of international philosophical discussion, with Critical Theory as the point of departure. Despite having studied in Europe, where philosophical Eurocentrism remains virulent, Gandler opens his eyes to another tradition of modernity and offers an account of the life and philosophy of Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez and Bolívar Echeverría, former senior faculty members at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM).
When an Italian mob named The Red Hand extort the English nation, threatening to release a plague if their financial demands are not met, Professor Tillizini, a clever man, seeks to save his country by dismantling the secret society. After deciding the most efficient way to stop The Red Hand would be to reveal their secrets, particularly the identity of their leader, Tillizini begins his investigation with his friend, Antonio Festini. Though he is a talented investigator, Tillizini struggles to foil The Red Hand’s master plans of terrorism, but finds that he is a worthy match to the villainous organization’s wit and brawn. As the threat of a severe biological weapon weighs heavily over E...
