Artificial Neural Systems: Principle and Practice

Pierre Lorrentz

Casa editrice: Bentham Science Publishers.

Sinossi

An intelligent system is one which exhibits characteristics including, but not limited to, learning, adaptation, and problem-solving. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Systems are intelligent systems designed on the basis of statistical models of learning that mimic biological systems such as the human central nervous system. Such ANN systems represent the theme of this book. This book also describes concepts related to evolutionary methods, clustering algorithms, and others networks which are complementary to ANN system. 
The book is divided into two parts. The first part explains basic concepts derived from the natural biological neuron and introduces purely scientific frameworks used to develop a viable ANN model. The second part expands over to the design, analysis, performance assessment, and testing of ANN models. Concepts such as Bayesian networks, multi-classifiers, and neuromorphic ANN systems are explained, among others.
Artificial Neural Systems: Principles and Practice takes a developmental perspective on the subject of ANN systems, making it a beneficial resource for students undertaking graduate courses and research projects, and working professionals (engineers, software developers) in the field of intelligent systems design.

Planet of Slums

Mike Davis

The classic, brilliant, bestselling account of the rise of the world's slums, where, according to the United Nations, one billion people now live. 
From the sprawling barricadas of Lima to the garbage hills of Manila, urbanization has been disconnected from industrialization, even economic growth. Davis portrays a vast humanity warehoused in shantytowns and exiled from the formal world economy. He argues that the rise of this informal urban proletariat is a wholly original development unforeseen by either classical Marxism or neoliberal theory. 
Are the great slums, as a terrified Victorian middle class once imagined, volcanoes waiting to erupt? Davis provides the first global overview of the diverse religious, ethnic, and political movements competing for the souls of the new urban poor. He surveys Hindu fundamentalism in Bombay, the Islamist resistance in Casablanca and Cairo, street gangs in Cape Town and San Salvador, Pentecostalism in Kinshasa and Rio de Janeiro, and revolutionary populism in Caracas and La Paz. Planet of Slums ends with a provocative meditation on the "war on terrorism" as an incipient world war between the American empire and the new slum poor.

Moral Hazard in Health Insurance

Amy Finkelstein

Addressing the challenge of covering heath care expenses—while minimizing economic risks.   Moral hazard—the tendency to change behavior when the cost of that behavior will be borne by others—is a particularly tricky question when considering health care. Kenneth J. Arrow’s seminal 1963 paper on this topic (included in this volume) was one of the first to explore the implication of moral hazard for health care, and Amy Finkelstein—recognized as one of the world’s foremost experts on the topic—here examines this issue in the context of contemporary American health care policy.   Drawing on research from both the original RAND Health Insurance Experiment and her own research, including a 2008 Health Insurance Experiment in Oregon, Finkelstein presents compelling evidence that health insurance does indeed affect medical spending and encourages policy solutions that acknowledge and account for this. The volume also features commentaries and insights from other renowned economists, including an introduction by Joseph P. Newhouse that provides context for the discussion, a commentary from Jonathan Gruber that considers provider-side moral hazard, and reflections from Joseph E. Stiglitz and Kenneth J. Arrow.   “Reads like a fireside chat among a group of distinguished, articulate health economists.” —Choice

Kenneth Libbrecht

The perfect geometry and exquisite beauty of nature is nowhere so clear to us as in the snowflake. But how have we been able to appreciate this infinitesimal wonder in all its crystalline glory? This book, as much a work of art as a testament to science, reveals how one of the snowflake’s most inspired photographers came to such intimate knowledge of his craft and its fleeting focus. Beautiful pictures illustrate Kenneth Libbrecht’s story of the microphotography of snow crystals, from the pioneering work of Wilson Bentley in the 1890s right up to Ken’s own innovations in our age of digital images. A breathtaking look at the works of art that melt in an instant, this is a book to page through and savor, season after season.
