Negation is a sine qua non of every human language but is absent from otherwise complex systems of animal communication. In many ways, it is negation that makes us human, imbuing us with the capacity to deny, to contradict, to misrepresent, to lie, and to convey irony. The apparent simplicity of logical negation as a one-place operator that toggles truth and falsity belies the intricate complexity of the expression of negation in natural language. Not only do we find negative adverbs, verbs, copulas, quantifiers, and affixes, but the interaction of negation with other operators (including multiple iterations of negation itself) can be exceedingly complex to describe, extending (as first deta...
Søren Hermansen kommer hjem fra arbejde en sen eftermiddag og finder sin kone dræbt i soveværelset. Hendes brystkasse er skåret op og hendes hjerte er blevet fjernet. Ugerningen bliver starten på en række lignende mord på kvinder, der har det til fælles, at de gik i klasse sammen tilbage i 1989. Drabschef Hampus Miller og hans stab af dygtige efterforskere står overfor en udspekuleret, psykopatisk morder, der ikke skyr nogen midler for at bringe sin ultimative hævn ud i livet.
Hvis Rachel Hunter havde vidst, hvad der ventede hende, da hun tiltrådte sit job på Sikringsanstalten Ringgården, havde hun uden betænkningstid takket nej til tilbuddet. Kort efter tiltrædelsen finder hun sent på natten en af de indsatte knivdræbt. Efterforskerne Hampus Miller og Stephan Hauser bliver sat på sagen, som viser sig at være en hård nød at knække. Den pensionerede drabschef og tidligere leder af det nu hedengangne legendariske Rejsehold, Sander Beck, tilbyder at lade sig gå undercover på Ringgården. Den første krimi i Poul Erik Larssons nye serie, om efterforskeren Hampus Miller og hans hold, udfolder sig som et nervepirrende klassisk "whodunit"-drama, hvor læseren kan være med til at løse gåden.
En begravelse løber totalt af sporet, da en af kistebærerne får et ildebefindende. Kisten ryger ned i graven, går i stykker og afslører, at liget er blevet byttet ud med et andet. Efterforskningen trækker spor til den lettiske hovedstad Riga. Snart er drabschef Hampus Miller og hans team, i samarbejde med det lettiske politi, viklet ind i en vanskelig mordsag, som mafiaen ser ud til at være indblandet i.
The second edition of the highly acclaimed Wind Power in Power Systems has been thoroughly revised and expanded to reflect the latest challenges associated with increasing wind power penetration levels. Since its first release, practical experiences with high wind power penetration levels have significantly increased. This book presents an overview of the lessons learned in integrating wind power into power systems and provides an outlook of the relevant issues and solutions to allow even higher wind power penetration levels. This includes the development of standard wind turbine simulation models. This extensive update has 23 brand new chapters in cutting-edge areas including offshore wind ...
“Artificial intelligence has always inspired outlandish visions—that AI is going to destroy us, save us, or at the very least radically transform us. Erik Larson exposes the vast gap between the actual science underlying AI and the dramatic claims being made for it. This is a timely, important, and even essential book.” —John Horgan, author of The End of Science Many futurists insist that AI will soon achieve human levels of intelligence. From there, it will quickly eclipse the most gifted human mind. The Myth of Artificial Intelligence argues that such claims are just that: myths. We are not on the path to developing truly intelligent machines. We don’t even know where that path m...
