The development of several AI solutions has revolutionized the way in which consumers behave. Serving as a guide to the role that AI plays on different aspects of consumers’ life, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the main artificial intelligence (AI) solutions available in the market. In particular, the authors adopt a customer experience approach to investigate how different AI technologies play a role at different stages of the customer journey (e.g., from pre-purchase to post-purchase decisions). Covering a range of technologies, such as augmented reality, voice assistants, chatbots and robots, readers will be able to learn which strategies and AI solutions are more effective at different stages of the customer journey.

Unos años antes de la Revolución rusa, dos perfumistas franceses establecidos en Moscú—Ernest Beaux y Aguste Michel—recibieron el encargo de crear una nueva fragancia para conmemorar el tercer centenario de la dinastía Románov. Con la caída de los zares y la subsiguiente guerra civil, Beaux regresó a Francia, donde conocería a Coco Chanel, y Michel permaneció en Rusia, convirtiéndose en uno de los artífices de la industria del perfume soviética. La fórmula del perfume imperial jamás se perdió, y de ella surgirían dos icónicas fragancias: Chanel no 5 y Moscú Rojo, estandartes de dos mundos confrontados. En esta apasionante pesquisa Karl Schlögel rastrea el pasado para o...
How can symbols have meaning for a subject? Foundations of Understanding argues that this is the key question to ask about intentionality, or meaningful thought. It thus offers an alternative to currently popular linguistic models of intentionality, whose inadequacies are examined: the goal should be to explain, not how symbols, mental or otherwise, can refer to or ‘mean’ states of affairs in the external world, but how they can mean something to us, the users. The essence of intentionality is shown to be conscious understanding, the roots of which lie in experiences of embodiment and goal-directed action. A developmental path is traced from a foundation of conscious understanding in the ability to perform basic actions, through the understanding of the concept of an objective, external world, to the understanding of language and abstract symbols. The work is interdisciplinary: data from the neurosciences and cognitive psychology, and the perspectives of phenomenologists such as Merleau-Ponty, are combined with traditional philosophical analysis. The book includes a chapter on the nature of conscious qualitative experience and its neural correlates. (Series A)
Dietro a parte della raccolta di dipinti attualmente conservata presso la Galleria Nazionale di Palazzo Spinola a Genova si cela il cardinal Giovan Battista Spinola, detto San Cesareo (1646-1719). Questo lavoro ne indaga la personalità, il ruolo politico svolto quale camerlengo di Clemente XI Albani, l'attività di tutela di cui fu rigido promotore, ma anche i rapporti con gli artisti - in particolare con il conterraneo Gaulli - e con gli intellettuali legati all'Arcadia che ospitava nella sua residenza. Attraverso un'ampia ricognizione documentaria e archivistica, se ne mette il luce l'importante collezione di quadri, alcuni identificati nelle raccolte pubbliche e private di tutto il mondo e qui pubblicati per la prima volta: si tratta di opere di Reni, Cignani, Franceschini e naturalmente di Baciccio, ma anche di artisti meno noti quali Cavedone, Odazzi, Scilla, Vanni.

Il governo del territorio pone oggi alcune significative questioni alla luce delle rilevanti trasformazioni intervenute negli ultimi decenni nei sistemi insediativi europei e dell'assunzione della sostenibilità e della tutela del paesaggio come paradigmi fondanti la pianificazione. Quali sono le direzioni del mutamento e quali regole lo presiedono? Ha senso ricercare nuovi paradigmi per pianificare e governare la città contemporanea secondo principi di sostenibilità? È ancora possibile guardare criticamente ai processi consolidati che la generano, immaginare forme diverse di organizzazione sociale ed economica, costruire scenari per il futuro e, conseguentemente, proporre modelli insedia...
In the wake of the Cold War, a diverse group of U.S. immigrants flocked to Costa Rica, distancing themselves from undesirable U.S. policies at home and abroad. Enchanted with Costa Rica's natural beauty and lured by the prospect of cheap land, these expatriates--former government employees, businessmen and privileged bourgeois, dissident Quakers and self-seeking hippies, farmers and ecologists--sought a new life in a country that was often dubbed the Switzerland of Central America. Cold War Paradise is a social and cultural history of this little-studied immigration flow. Based on extensive oral histories of these immigrants and their diverse writings, ranging from women's club cookbooks to ...
Brain tumors comprise about 5–9% of all human neoplasms; and interestingly the central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms are ranked among the most prevalent neoplasms of childhood as well. Besides to the morphologic and histopathologic characteristics, and as each pathologic states first starts with molecular alterations, each tumor may have its own story in the matter of activating tumorigenesis pathways and having specific molecular characteristics. Importantly, the molecular classification of tumors has been highly considered in the past few decades for taking the most appropriate therapeutic approach. On the other hand, the tumors shall have tumor-scape mechanisms preventing the immunolog...
