The Smartphone Paradox

The Smartphone Paradox

Alan J. Reid

Springer International Publishing AG
2018
sidottu
The Smartphone Paradox is a critical examination of our everyday mobile technologies and the effects that they have on our thoughts and behaviors. Alan J. Reid presents a comprehensive view of smartphones: the research behind the uses and gratifications of smartphones, the obstacles they present, the opportunities they afford, and how everyone can achieve a healthy, technological balance. It includes interviews with smartphone users from a variety of backgrounds, and translates scholarly research into a conversational tone, making it easy to understand a synthesis of key findings and conclusions from a heavily-researched domain. All in all, through the lens of smartphone dependency, the book makes the argument for digital mindfulness in a device age that threatens our privacy, sociability, attention, and cognitive abilities.

Um ein biologisches Experiment richtig planen, durchf hren und auswerten zu k nnen, muss man ber fundierte Kenntnisse grundlegender mathematischer und statistischer Operationen verf gen. Mathe f r Biologen bietet einen leicht verst ndlichen Zugang zur Mathematik, Statistik und Datenverarbeitung. Ob in Form von Exponentialrechnungen, Logarithmen oder bei der Berechnung von Molarit ten, Verd nnungen und Volumina - ohne Mathematik geht im Labor gar nichts. Die Kenntnis aller relevanten Ma einheiten und Umrechnungsverh ltnisse ist ebenso unverzichtbar wie eine sichere Beherrschung der wichtigsten statistischen Methoden und der Prinzipien der Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung. All dies vermittelt Mathe f r Biologen. Besonders junge Wissenschaftler, Diplomanden, Doktoranden und Angeh rige des technischen Personals d rften die einf hlsame Didaktik, den klaren Aufbau und die verst ndliche Sprache des Bandes zu sch tzen wissen. Jedes der elf Kapitel enth lt Kontrollfragen, anhand derer der Leser seine Lernfortschritte berpr fen kann. Die L sungen werden im Anhang ausf hrlich hergeleitet und erl utert. Das umfangreiche Glossar erschlie t die wichtigsten Fachbegriffe.

Remote Cooperation: CSCW Issues for Mobile and Teleworkers

Remote Cooperation: CSCW Issues for Mobile and Teleworkers

Alan J. Dix; Russell Beale

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH Co. K
1996
nidottu
Computer supported work is increasingly being done out of the traditional office environment, for example whilst travelling or at home and there is a growing need to support the cooperative aspects of such work. Remote Cooperation looks at ways of improving the available communications, through the use of packet radio and compression techniques, in order to reduce the imbalance between office-based and mobile workers. It also assesses how the effectiveness of the existing communications infrastructure can be improved, by providing cooperative applications which fit within its limitations. Broadly divided into five sections - social and economic context, application domains, software technology and infrastructure, communications technology and infrastructure, working and learning from home - this volume contains contributions from both the research community and industry.

From the Molecular World

From the Molecular World

Alan J. Rocke

2012
nidottu
Hermann Kopp (1817–1892) is best remembered today as a historian of chemistry, but during his lifetime he was one of the most eminent chemists of his day, and one of the earliest pioneers of physical chemistry. Late in his career he wrote an endearing fantasy about personified molecules. Published in 1882, Aus der Molecular-Welt (From the Molecular World) portrayed the intimate details of what might actually be happening in the sub-microscopic world; the atoms and molecules we meet there have agency, personalities, sometimes even dialog. Filled with appealing tropes, humor, and whimsical asides, Kopp’s short book provided an examination of the chemistry and physics of his day that was always light-hearted on the surface, but often surprisingly profound. Properly interpreted, the book provides a revealing tour of nineteenth-century debates concerning chemical theory. It is here translated into English, richly annotated, and equipped with an illuminating preface by a leading historian of chemistry. It provides entertaining reading to practicing chemists, as well as new insights to historians of science.

General-Purpose Optimization Through Information Maximization

General-Purpose Optimization Through Information Maximization

Alan J. Lockett

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH Co. K
2020
sidottu
This book examines the mismatch between discrete programs, which lie at the center of modern applied mathematics, and the continuous space phenomena they simulate. The author considers whether we can imagine continuous spaces of programs, and asks what the structure of such spaces would be and how they would be constituted. He proposes a functional analysis of program spaces focused through the lens of iterative optimization. The author begins with the observation that optimization methods such as Genetic Algorithms, Evolution Strategies, and Particle Swarm Optimization can be analyzed as Estimation of Distributions Algorithms (EDAs) in that they can be formulated as conditional probability distributions. The probabilities themselves are mathematical objects that can be compared and operated on, and thus many methods in Evolutionary Computation can be placed in a shared vector space and analyzed using techniques of functionalanalysis. The core ideas of this book expand from that concept, eventually incorporating all iterative stochastic search methods, including gradient-based methods. Inspired by work on Randomized Search Heuristics, the author covers all iterative optimization methods and not just evolutionary methods. The No Free Lunch Theorem is viewed as a useful introduction to the broader field of analysis that comes from developing a shared mathematical space for optimization algorithms. The author brings in intuitions from several branches of mathematics such as topology, probability theory, and stochastic processes and provides substantial background material to make the work as self-contained as possible. The book will be valuable for researchers in the areas of global optimization, machine learning, evolutionary theory, and control theory.

L'Orphée de Ballanche: Genèse Et Signification

L'Orphée de Ballanche: Genèse Et Signification

Alan J L Busst

Verlag Peter Lang
1999
nidottu
Contrairement aux affirmations de tous les critiques, et de Ballanche lui-meme, une premiere version d'"Orphee" a ete fondamentalement modifiee et augmentee du double pour accommoder apres 1824 une interpretation entierement nouvelle de l'antiquite et des temps modernes. Cette immense transformation de la pensee et de l'oeuvre de Ballanche a ete determinee, malgre ses denegations repetees, par sa decouverte des ecrits de Giambattista Vico, par sa maniere tout a fait originale de concilier les donnees de "De antiquissima Italorum sapientia" avec celles de la "Scienza nuova," et par la collaboration mysterieuse d'un erudit italien nomme Fossati. En analysant le nouveau systeme palingenesique, ce livre demontre que la celebre obscurite ballanchienne s'explique surtout par la suspension de la publication des "OEuvres" avant la parution de ce que l'auteur lui-meme jugeait indispensable a leur comprehension: deux volumes de "Preuves," qu'on croyait completement perdus, mais dont les ebauches existent toujours et, avec une multiplicite d'autres manuscrits ballanchiens, sont examinees ici pour la premiere fois."

Never Lose Your Nerve!

Never Lose Your Nerve!

Alan J Heeger

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd
2015
sidottu
Never Lose Your Nerve! chronicles the ups and downs of a Nobel Laureate's life. Professor Alan J Heeger was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2000 together with Professor Alan G MacDiarmid and Professor Hideki Shirakawa. Filled with humor, this book tells Professor Heeger's story — his love for his family, especially how his wife's love has always been his guiding light, his progress from a young student to an eminent scientist, his passion for the theatre and its impact on his science, his adventures as a successful entrepreneur, and his personal losses. Many think of scientists as risk-adverse individuals but Professor Heeger shows the absolute necessity of risk in research and that scientists are, in fact, risk-addicted, as taking the first, risky step into unfamiliar territory is a step in the right direction towards creativity and great discoveries. Never lose your nerve and you will be rewarded. Life is an exciting adventure and this book clearly demonstrates it, and is for those who are looking to impact others.'Perhaps the greatest pleasure of being a scientist is to have an abstract idea, then to do an experiment (more often a series of experiments is required) that demonstrates the idea was correct; that is, Nature actually behaves as conceived in the mind of the scientist. This process is the essence of creativity in science. I have been fortunate to have experienced this intense pleasure many times in my life.'Alan J Heeger
