A new class of provably capacity achieving error-correction codes, polar codes are suitable for many problems, such as lossless and lossy source coding, problems with side information, multiple access channel, etc. The first comprehensive book on the implementation of decoders for polar codes, the authors take a tutorial approach to explain the practical decoder implementation challenges and trade-offs in either software or hardware. They also demonstrate new trade-offs in latency, throughput, and complexity in software implementations for high-performance computing and GPGPUs, and hardware implementations using custom processing elements, full-custom application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and field-programmable-gate arrays (FPGAs). Presenting a good overview of this research area and future directions, High-Speed Decoders for Polar Codes is perfect for any researcher or SDR practitioner looking into implementing efficient decoders for polar codes, as well as students and professors in a modern error correction class. As polar codes have been accepted to protect the control channel in the next-generation mobile communication standard (5G) developed by the 3GPP, the audience includes engineers who will have to implement decoders for such codes and hardware engineers designing the backbone of communication networks.

There have been many studies analyzing the philosophy of Blaise Pascal, but this book is the first full-length study of the philosophies of his sisters, Jacqueline Pascal and Gilberte Pascal Périer, and his niece, Marguerite Périer. While these women have long been presented as the disciples, secretaries, correspondents, and nurses of their brother and uncle, each woman developed a distinctive philosophy that is more than auxiliary to the thought of Blaise Pascal. The unique philosophical voice of each Pascal woman is studied in The Other Pascals. As the headmistress of the Port-Royal convent school, Jacqueline Pascal made important contributions to the philosophy of education. Gilberte Pascal Périer wrote the first philosophical biographies of Blaise and Jacqueline. Marguerite Périer defended freedom of conscience against coercion by political and religious superiors. Each of these women authors speaks in a gendered voice, emphasizing the right of women to develop a philosophical and theological culture and to resist commands to blind obedience by paternal, political, or ecclesiastical authorities. The Other Pascals will be of keen interest to readers interested in early modern philosophy, history, literature, and religion. The book will also appeal to those with an interest in women's studies and French studies.
In the early ninth century, a critical time in Rome's transformation from ancient capital to powerful bishopric to new state capital, Pope Paschal I undertook a building campaign to communicate his authority and Rome's importance as an ancient and contemporary seat of power. Combining analysis of contemporary chronicles and documents, architecture, mosaics and new archaeology of medieval Rome, Caroline J. Goodson examines Paschal's urban project, revealing new patterns of popular saint veneration in resplendent new churches built using traditional architectural vocabularies. These transformations connect the city and the pope to the past and the present, in the same league as the Byzantine and Carolingian capitals and their emperors. By examining the relationships between the material world and political power in early medieval Rome, this innovative study reveals the importance of Rome's sacred and urban landscape in constructing papal rule and influence both in the city and beyond.

LA CINETERAPIA: el cine como complemento del tratamiento del enfermo psiqui trico. El cine, considerado como el s ptimo arte, tiene mucho de similar con el so ar y el imaginar. En la pel culas ejercemos entonces lo mismo que hacemos en el estado on rico: los procesos de empat a, emocionales, las estrategias que nos pueden funcionar ante determinados problemas existenciales. Vamos al cine para identificarnos por unas horas, con alguno de los personajes de la pantalla y ejercitar ciertos circuitos cerebrales que tiene que ver con eventos de la vida cotidiana, y otros a los que quiz s nunca tendremos acceso, por ejemplo, estar en una caminata espacial, luchar al lado de Alejandro el Magno, volar en un globo aerost tico, o asomarnos a la oficina de un dictados que juega con un globo terr queo inflable. La cinematograf a ha desarrollado muchos personajes, que como en la vida cotidiana, est n enfermos. Un tema recurrente, es el de los trastornos psiqui tricos. Los cuales son totalmente ajenos a la mayor a de las personas, inclusive para quien los padece. Es por ello que este libro trata de ser un apoyo para el entendimiento de este tipo de dolencias, desde la perspectiva del cine. Entender y comprender es un primer paso para aceptar y tolerar, estos ltimos, procesos vitales en el tratamiento de las enfermedades psiqui tricas. Es un libro para enfermos, familiares, amigos y para los profesionales que quieran prescribir, adem s de medicamentos y terapia, una serie de videos para apoyar el tratamiento de sus pacientes.
NEUROBIOQU MICA Y PSICOFARMACOLOG A DE LAS ENFERMEDADES PSIQUI TRICAS. 2a Edici n Primera parte En este libro se desarrollan los temas b sicos de la neurobioqu mica aplicada al funcionamiento normal del sistema nervioso, y las alteraciones moleculares que llevan a las enfermedades psiqui tricas. Tambi n, se sientan las bases del uso cient fico de los psicof rmacos: antidepresivos, antipsic ticos, estimulantes del sistema nervioso, estabilizadores del estado de animo e hipn ticos. La psiquiatr a es una especialidad de la medicina interna, y tiene ya un cuerpo te rico que se fundamenta en las neurociencias cl nicas y la psicolog a cognitiva. Las nuevas herramientas para el estudio del cerebro, como son la resonancia magn tica funcional y los m todos de neurofisiolog a, han permitido entender al cerebro enfermo. Este libro es un instrumento b sico para abordar la literatura contempor nea en las especialidades que convergen hacia las neurociencias cl nicas.
