Grammatical Inference: Algorithms and Applications
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Colloquium on Grammatical Inference, ICGI 2006. The book presents 25 revised full papers and 8 revised short papers together with 2 invited contributions, carefully reviewed and selected. The topics discussed range from theoretical results of learning algorithms to innovative applications of grammatical inference and from learning several interesting classes of formal grammars to applications to natural language processing.
Abductive Reasoning
Abductive Reasoning: Logical Investigations into Discovery and Explanation is a much awaited original contribution to the study of abductive reasoning, providing logical foundations and a rich sample of pertinent applications. Divided into three parts on the conceptual framework, the logical foundations, and the applications, this monograph takes the reader for a comprehensive and erudite tour through the taxonomy of abductive reasoning, via the logical workings of abductive inference ending with applications pertinent to scientific explanation, empirical progress, pragmatism and belief revision.
Volume 9: Aesthetics and Philosophy of Art
This book continues the series Contemporary Philosophy (International Institute of Philosophy), which surveys significant trends in contemporary philosophy. The new volume on Aesthetics, comprising nineteen surveys, shows the variety of approaches to Aesthetics in various cultures. The close connection between aesthetics and religion and between aesthetics and ethics is emphasized in several contributions.
Acoustic MIMO Signal Processing
Telecommunication systems and human-machine interfaces have begun using multiple microphones and loudspeakers to render interaction more lifelike, and more efficient. This raises acoustic signal processing problems under multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) scenarios, encompassing distant speech acquisition, sound source localization and tracking, echo and noise control, source separation and speech dereverberation, and many others. The book opens with an acoustic MIMO paradigm, establishing fundamentals, and linking acoustic MIMO signal processing with classical signal processing and communication theories. The second part of the book presents a novel analysis of acoustic applications carried out in the paradigm to reinforce the fundamentals of acoustic MIMO signal processing.
Action and Responsibility
This book is an exploration of what it takes for an event to count as an action. I first became interested in this topic nearly a decade ago while working on a different topic. I kept coming across philosophers making claims about the nature of action that seemed false or at least dubious to me. As a consequence I turned to the philosophy of action directly, to get to the heart of the matter. I have wrestled with this territory ever since. I hope that, with this book, I have finally earned the intuitions that put me at odds with the philosophers I was originally reading. This book develops ideas in Part Two of my doctoral dissertation, which I wrote at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontar...
Achieving Excellence in Medical Education
A goldmine of theoretical insights and practical suggestions, Achieving Excellence in Medical Education, Second Edition explores the essential question facing medical educators and learners today: What is our vision of educational excellence, and what can we do to enhance our performance? Among the topics explored within this updated, engaging, informative, and thought-provoking text are: • Education’s position as a priority of medical schools • Seminal educational insights from non-medical educators • Best practices of outstanding educators and learners • Promises and pitfalls of new educational technologies • Key resources for promoting excellence in medical education • Medic...
The Age of Alternative Logics
In the last century, developments in mathematics, philosophy, physics, computer science, economics and linguistics have proven important for the development of logic. There has been an influx of new ideas, concerns, and logical systems reflecting a great variety of reasoning tasks in the sciences. This book embodies the multi-dimensional interplay between logic and science, presenting contributions from the world's leading scholars on new trends and possible developments for research.
Academic Scientists at Work
This work guides the scientist on the journey from the end of a postdoctoral career to the point of promotion to Associate Professor. It includes a CD-ROM containing template worksheets and point-by-point instructions on how to complete them, with downloadable blank worksheet versions. Included are six database program files that can be used to help the reader organize his/her laboratory specific reagents.
Computational Commutative Algebra 2
"The second volume of the authors’ ‘Computational commutative algebra’...covers on its 586 pages a wealth of interesting material with several unexpected applications. ... an encyclopedia on computational commutative algebra, a source for lectures on the subject as well as an inspiration for seminars. The text is recommended for all those who want to learn and enjoy an algebraic tool that becomes more and more relevant to different fields of applications." --ZENTRALBLATT MATH
Abeta Peptide and Alzheimer's Disease
Recent advances in genetics and brain biochemistry point to the Abeta peptide as the major culprit in causing neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). This book summarizes current knowledge of the Abeta peptide and its role in AD. Written by specialists in this fast moving area, the book covers fundamental biochemical studies on this peptide, the genetic impact on Abeta expression and processing, and various AD therapeutic strategies that target Abeta.
