This edited Book is dedicated to the theory and applications of Evolutionary Computation and Fuzzy Logic for Intelligent Control, Knowledge Acquisition and Information Retrieval. The book consists of 86 selected research papers from the 1999 International Conference on Computational Intelligence for Modelling, Control and Automation - CIMCA'99 The research papers presented in this book cover new techniques and applications in the following research areas: Evolutionary Computation, Fuzzy Logic and Expert Systems with their applications for Optimisation, Learning, Control, Scheduling and Multi-Criteria Analysis as well as Reliability Assessment, Information Retrieval and Knowledge Acquisition.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Biomimetic and Biohybrid Systems, Living Machines 2019, held in Nara, Japan, in July 2019. The 26 full and 16 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions. They deal with research on novel life-like technologies inspired by the scientific investigation of biological systems, biomimetics, and research that seeks to interface biological and artificial systems to create biohybrid systems.
Have you ever watched an inappropriately rated movie with children and later regretted it? As hosts of the weekly radio review show and authors of Frame by Frame: 2006-A Family-Friendly Guide to the Movies , Dr. Rus and Sandra Jeffrey cut through the Hollywood hype to offer concise, easy-to-read movie reviews designed with families in mind. In addition to movie reviews, you'll also find a more complete analysis of what they cover on the radio each week. Some movies they "tank," an expression they use when they trash a movie-but that doesn't mean they can't find any redeeming factors. As a result, the couple discusses all aspects of each movie, focusing on the positive and negative elements. ...
The major change in the format of the fifth edition is the presentation of the book in two volumes, necessitated by the rapidly increasing knowledge of metabolism, interactions, and requirements of trace elements ... The guiding principle was to present the minimum of results that would serve as a logical foundation for the description of the present state of knowledge. Recent results of research were accommodated by devoting new chapters to the subjects "Methodology of Trace Element Research" and "Quality Assurance for Trace Element Analysis" and by expanding the discussion of lithium and aluminum in separate, new chapters. The first two subjects are of outstanding importance as determinant...
This volume provides readers with a detailed introduction to the amenability of Banach algebras and locally compact groups. By encompassing important foundational material, contemporary research, and recent advancements, this monograph offers a state-of-the-art reference. It will appeal to anyone interested in questions of amenability, including those familiar with the author’s previous volume Lectures on Amenability. Cornerstone topics are covered first: namely, the theory of amenability, its historical context, and key properties of amenable groups. This introduction leads to the amenability of Banach algebras, which is the main focus of the book. Dual Banach algebras are given an in-dep...
This work briefly records the lives and achievements of 502 men and women who contributed, or are still contributing, to the natural history of the Free State and Lesotho, between 1829 and 2013.
