Philosophy of Brain: A Conversation with Patricia Churchland by Howard Burton
English | Oct 31, 2020 | ISBN: 1771700343 | 51 pages | EPUB | 2,6 MB
This book is based on an in-depth filmed conversation between Howard Burton and neurophilosopher Patricia Churchland, UC San Diego. Patricia Churchland has done extensive research in the fields of philosophy of neuroscience, philosophy of the mind and neuroethics. During this mind-stretching conversation Patricia explores how the brain works, how we are able to represent the external world of objects and our inner world of thoughts, self and consciousness.

Pathologic Myopia 2nd Edition
English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030743330 | 455 Pages | PDF EPUB | 162 MB
Pathologic Myopia is a major cause of severe vision loss worldwide. The mechanisms for vision loss include cataract, glaucoma, retinal detachment, and above all, myopic maculopathy within the posterior staphyloma. The first edition of Pathologic Myopia is one of the only current books to specifically address this disease and discusses recent developments in imaging technologies and various approaches to treatments, such as laser photocoagulation, photodynamic therapy, pharmaco-therapeutic injections in the vitreous, and surgery.

Mark S Swanson, "Path Integral Quantization"
English | ISBN: 0750335459 | 2020 | 241 pages | PDF | 8 MB
This book is a self-contained and concise introduction to the techniques and applications of path integral quantization and functional techniques, aimed at students and practitioners. The first half of the text focuses on quantum mechanics, including a review of the action formulation of classical mechanics and quantum mechanics in the Dirac operator and state formalism, and further examination of the path integral. The second part examines relativistic field theories, reviewing special relativity, as well as derivation of the path integral representation of the vacuum transition element for quantized scalar, spinor, and vector fields from the coherent state representation of the respective field theories.

Partners In Everything: Your Couples' Guide to Running a Successful Business Without Ruining Your Life by Naked Book Publishing
English | July 13, 2021 | ISBN: 0986088870 | 192 pages | EPUB | 0.60 Mb
People do not become friends based on one day opening a company together. And not everyone picks their romantic partner thinking that they'll go into business together. When we were approached with the idea to write a book about "how being a successful couple in today's business climate is good for our clients," we jumped at the thought. But since we didn't have the market cornered on how to do that, we knew it would be an even more powerful book if we included other couples who have learned to successfully and profitably work together.

Before the advent of deep learning, traditional natural language processing (NLP) approaches had been widely used in tasks such as spam filtering, sentiment classification, and part of speech (POS) tagging. These classic approaches utilized statistical characteristics of sequences such as word count and co-occurrence, as well as simple linguistic features. However, the main disadvantage of these techniques was that they could not capture complex linguistic characteristics, such as context and intra-word dependencies.
Recent developments in neural networks and deep learning have given us powerful new tools to match human-level performance on NLP tasks and build products that deal with natural language. Deep learning for NLP is centered around the concept of word embeddings or vectors, also known as Word2vec, which encapsulate the meanings of words and phrases as dense vector representations. Word vectors, which are able to capture semantic information about words better than traditional one-hot representations, allow us to handle the temporal nature of language in an intuitive way when used in combination with a class of neural networks known as recurrent neural networks (RNNs). While RNNs can capture only local word dependencies, recently proposed vector-based operations for attention and alignment over word vector sequences allow neural networks to model global intra-word dependencies, including context

Microsimulation Population Projections with SAS: A Reference Guide
English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030791106 | 116 Pages | PDF EPUB | 35 MB
This open access book provides a step-by-step overview on how to build a microsimulation model with SAS. It shows how to convert an already existing multistate projection by age, sex, education and region into a microsimulation model. Two new dimensions are then added, either the labor force participation and the sector of activity, and/or some examples of outputs and alternative scenarios that would not be possible with standard demographic methods. The book also describes how to adapt the model for other countries or other purposes. It also provides details on how to extend and adapt the model for other purposes as well as other use of microsimulation with SAS. The book suggests codes that are easy to understand, so they can be replicated or adapted for other purposes. As such, this book provides a great resource for people with beginner to intermediate knowledge in SAS.
