Es hat kaum ein gro artigeres Unternehmen mehr das Interesse der gebildeten Welt in Anspruch genommen, als der Durchstich des Isthmus von Suez, eine Unternehmung, wie sie eben nur der vor nichts zur ckschreckende Geist des 19. Jahrhunderts erdenken konnte. Und keine Arbeit ist mehr besprochen und beschrieben worden, als gerade dieser Kanal, Stimmen haben sich daf r und dagegen erhoben; Enthusiasten wollten den Kanal in ein paar Jahren vollenden, untersch tzten die Schwierigkeiten, setzten die Kosten zu gering an; ihre Gegner sprachen von un berwindlichen Hindernissen, vom Niveauunterschiede der beiden zu verbindenden Meere, von nicht zu besiegenden Sandst rmen der W ste, vom Mangel an Geld und endlich, falls der Kanal zu Stande k me, von den zu gro en Kosten, welche die Rheder f r ihre durchgehenden Fahrzeuge zu entrichten haben w rden. Im Jahre 1854, als Hr. von Lesseps vom Vicek nig die Autorisation bekam zur Anlegung eines maritimen Kanals durch die Landenge, constituirte sich infolge dessen eine internationale Commission, bestehend aus Ingenieuren von England, Oesterreich, Spanien, Frankreich, den Niederlanden und Preu en, um einen Plan auszuarbeiten, und nachdem diese Commission festgestellt hatte, da kein Niveauunterschied zwischen den beiden getrennten Meeren vorhanden sei, hatte sie die Bildung des Kanals von Suez und eine Subscription zur Folge. Die auszuf hrenden Arbeiten waren auf 200 Mill. Frs. veranschlagt worden, welche Summe aufgebracht wurde. Im Jahre 1859 begannen die ersten Arbeiten unter der unmittelbaren Direction der Compagnie selbst. Diese bestanden haupts chlich in Menschenwerk; das gyptische Gouvernement hatte contractlich 20,000 Fellahin oder Leibeigene zu liefern, welche eine monatliche Dienstzeit hatten, wobei sie auf Kosten der Compagnie ern hrt und abgelohnt wurden. Jeden Monat l ste ein Haufen anderer Zwangsarbeiter den alten ab.

Particles, Fields, Quanta

Particles, Fields, Quanta

Gerhard Ecker

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2019
nidottu
This book provides an introduction to the current state of our knowledge about the structure of matter. Gerhard Ecker describes the development of modern physics from the beginning of the quantum age to the standard model of particle physics, the fundamental theory of interactions of the microcosm. The focus lies on the most important discoveries and developments, e.g. of quantum field theory, gauge theories and the future of particle physics. The author also emphasizes the interplay between theory and experiment, which helps us to explore the deepest mysteries of nature."Particles, Fields, Quanta" is written for everyone who enjoys physics. It offers high school graduates and students of physics in the first semesters an encouragement to understand physics more deeply. Teachers and others interested in physics will find useful insights into the world of particle physics. For advanced students, the book can serve as a comprehensive preparation for lectures on particle physics and quantum field theory. A brief outline of the mathematical structures, an index of persons with research focuses and a glossary for quick reference of important terms such as gauge theory, spin and symmetry complete the book.From the foreword by Michael Springer:“The great successes and the many open questions this book describes illustrate how immensely complicated nature is and nevertheless how much we already understand of it.”The authorGerhard Ecker studied theoretical physics with Walter Thirring at the University of Vienna. His research focus has been on theoretical particle physics, in particular during several long-term visits at CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research in Geneva. In 1986 he was promoted to Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Vienna. Since 1977 he has given both basic lectures in theoretical physics and advanced courses on different topics in particle physics, e.g., quantum field theory, symmetry groups in particle physics and renormalisation in quantum field theory.

Self-Feeling

Self-Feeling

Gerhard Kreuch

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2019
sidottu
This monograph offers new insights into the connection between self-consciousness and emotion. It focuses on what fundamental “feelings of being” tell us about ourselves. The results enrich the philosophy of human affectivity and help shed new light on some pressing, current problems. The author seeks to understand self-consciousness as an affective phenomenon, namely as self-feeling. He identifies it as a pre-reflective, pre-propositional, bodily feeling that shapes our space of possibilities. It is the affective disclosure of individual existence. His account overcomes the difficulties of infinite regress and vicious circularity that reflective (or higher-order) accounts of self-consciousness struggle with. At the same time, it helps build a bridge between the basic level of self-consciousness and the higher level of more substantial thoughts about oneself. The title explores fundamental affectivity, Matthew Ratcliffe’s theory of existential feelings, features of self-feeling, and appropriateness and inappropriateness in self-interpretation. It also considers the contributions of the Heidelberg School of self-consciousness to current debates. The title provides students and researchers with a unique look into such vital philosophical questions as: What is self-consciousness? How do we know ourselves? It will also appeal to a wider audience interested in self-consciousness and/or human affectivity since it does not presuppose knowledge of the jargon.

Discussing Cognitive Neuroscience

Discussing Cognitive Neuroscience

Gerhard Benetka; Hans Werbik

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2021
sidottu
The sciences philosophy, psychology and neuroscience share the basis that all refer to the human being. Therefore, an interdisciplinary collaboration would be desirable. The exchange of criticism is an essential requirement for interdisciplinary collaboration. Criticism must be heard and – if possible – considered. Indeed, criticism can be valid or unwarranted. However, whether criticism is unwarranted can only emerge from discussion and conversation. In the discussion of cognitive neuroscience, some criticism can easily be considered (such as the mereological fallacy that represents that talking about the person is substituted with talking bout the brain). Another issue for an interdisciplinary discussion of cognitive neuroscience is the interpretation of the readiness potential including re-considering Benjamin Libet’s classic experiments. Additionally, a critical discussion on cognitive neuroscience must address ethical questions, such as the possibility of the abuse of neuroscientific insight.

Bootstrap Methods

Bootstrap Methods

Gerhard Dikta; Marsel Scheer

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2021
sidottu
This book provides a compact introduction to the bootstrap method. In addition to classical results on point estimation and test theory, multivariate linear regression models and generalized linear models are covered in detail. Special attention is given to the use of bootstrap procedures to perform goodness-of-fit tests to validate model or distributional assumptions. In some cases, new methods are presented here for the first time. The text is motivated by practical examples and the implementations of the corresponding algorithms are always given directly in R in a comprehensible form. Overall, R is given great importance throughout. Each chapter includes a section of exercises and, for the more mathematically inclined readers, concludes with rigorous proofs. The intended audience is graduate students who already have a prior knowledge of probability theory and mathematical statistics.

Foundation Models for Natural Language Processing

Foundation Models for Natural Language Processing

Gerhard Paaß; Sven Giesselbach

Springer International Publishing AG
2023
sidottu
This open access book provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in research and applications of Foundation Models and is intended for readers familiar with basic Natural Language Processing (NLP) concepts. Over the recent years, a revolutionary new paradigm has been developed for training models for NLP. These models are first pre-trained on large collections of text documents to acquire general syntactic knowledge and semantic information. Then, they are fine-tuned for specific tasks, which they can often solve with superhuman accuracy. When the models are large enough, they can be instructed by prompts to solve new tasks without any fine-tuning. Moreover, they can be applied to a wide range of different media and problem domains, ranging from image and video processing to robot control learning. Because they provide a blueprint for solving many tasks in artificial intelligence, they have been called Foundation Models. After a brief introduction to basic NLP models the main pre-trained language models BERT, GPT and sequence-to-sequence transformer are described, as well as the concepts of self-attention and context-sensitive embedding. Then, different approaches to improving these models are discussed, such as expanding the pre-training criteria, increasing the length of input texts, or including extra knowledge. An overview of the best-performing models for about twenty application areas is then presented, e.g., question answering, translation, story generation, dialog systems, generating images from text, etc. For each application area, the strengths and weaknesses of current models are discussed, and an outlook on further developments is given. In addition, links are provided to freely available program code. A concluding chapter summarizes the economic opportunities, mitigation of risks, and potential developments of AI.
