「Super Decisions」為一種功能強大的決策軟體，主要應用於分析網絡程序法(Analytic Network Process; ANP)的相關研究。運用超級矩陣(Supermatrix)將相互依賴的影響程度運算求出，不僅使ANP更貼近人類的思考模式，更讓原本制式化層級架構變成類似「變形蟲」般的複雜網絡，以利研究人員能夠更貼切地描述問題的特性，甚至去思考「先有雞還是先有蛋」等邏輯性問題。

This graduate-level text gives a self-contained exposition of fundamental topics in equilibrium and nonequilibrium statistical thermodynamics. The text follows a balanced approach between the macroscopic (thermodynamic) and microscopic (statistical) points of view. The first half of the book deals with equilibrium thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. In addition to standard subjects, the reader will find a detailed account of broken symmetries, critical phenomena and the renormalization group, as well as an introduction to numerical methods. The second half of the book is devoted to nonequilibrium phenomena, first following a macroscopic approach, with hydrodynamics as an important example. Kinetic theory receives a thorough treatment through analysis of the Boltzmann-Lorentz model and the Boltzmann equation. The book concludes with general nonequilibrium methods such as linear response, projection method and the Langevin and Fokker-Planck equations, including numerical simulation

A First Course in Combinatorial Optimization is a text for a one-semester introductory graduate-level course for students of operations research, mathematics, and computer science. It is a self-contained treatment of the subject, requiring only some mathematical maturity. Topics include: linear and integer programming, polytopes, matroids and matroid optimization, shortest paths, and network flows. Central to the exposition is the polyhedral viewpoint, which is the key principle underlying the successful integer-programming approach to combinatorial-optimization problems. Another key unifying topic is matroids. The author does not dwell on data structures and implementation details, preferring to focus on the key mathematical ideas that lead to useful models and algorithms. Problems and exercises are included throughout as well as references for further study.

ONNX(Open Neural Network Exchange，開放神經網絡交換)是一種開放格式，用於存儲深度神經網絡模型。ONNX 由微軟和Facebook 於2017 年共同推出，旨在促進不同深度學習框架之間的模型交換和互操作性。ONNX 定義了一組與環境和平臺無關的標準格式，使得AI 模型可以在不同的框架和環境下交互使用。經過短短幾年的發展，ONNX 已經成為表示深度學習模型的實際標準。它還支持傳統非神經網絡機器學習模型。ONNX 有望成為整個AI 模型交換的標準。全書包括6 章，分別為ONNX 安裝與使用、ONNX 運行時與應用開發技術、ONNX 各種功能與性能分析、ONNX 數據與操作數優化、ONNX 模型性能與應用、ONNX 創新開發案例分析。本書適合從事AI 算法、軟件、硬件開發的工程師閱讀，也可供科研人員、高校師生、技術管理人員參考使用。

近年來，人工智能在自然語言處理、商務智能、機器人和醫療診斷等眾多領域取得了突破性進展，其中生成式對抗網絡（generative adversarial network , GAN）開創性地使用對抗訓練機制對兩個神經網絡進行訓練，是近年來複雜分布上無監督學習最具前景的方法之一。 本項目以人工智能為出發點，從模型、算法和應用系統等角度較好地研究了GAN的基礎理論和方法，並結合遷移學習、強化學習和大數據技術設計了GAN的一些可行應用案例，闡述了如何通過GAN來實現人工智能，為廣大讀者在人工智能領域的理論學習和專業實踐提供指南。

This edited volume is intended to showcase the breadth and depth of the collaborative intellectual enterprise that the Asian Barometer Survey (ABS) network has built up over the past two decades. To commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the ABS, we invited ABS partners to contribute their intellectual findings to this edited volume. Except for the introduction, this volume consists of twenty-seven chapters divided into two sections. The first part of the book contains eleven chapters that are based on previously published studies and are updated based on the latest ABS data. The second part of the book focuses on issues specific to each country or autonomous territory and consists of sixteen chapters. Among the topics discussed are potential threats to third-wave democracies, evolving ideology in one-party states, cases of denied democracy, and peculiar challenges faced by long-term democracies. The contributors are the indispensable partners that have made the ABS possible over the

納粹佔領下的波蘭，少女夏雅失去家人後，決心不再沉默。她偽造證件穿越檢查站，成為地下信差，傳遞物資與希望。當反抗行動失敗，她仍選擇前往華沙投入起義。這是一段關於勇氣、尊嚴與抵抗的歷史故事。New York Times bestseller Jennifer A. Nielsen tells the extraordinary story of a Jewish girl's courageous efforts to resist the Nazis.Chaya Lindner is a teenager living in Nazi-occupied Poland. Simply being Jewish places her in danger of being killed or sent to the camps. After her little sister is taken away, her younger brother disappears, and her parents all but give up hope, Chaya is determined to make a difference. Using forged papers and her fair features, Chaya becomes a courier and travels between the Jewish ghettos of Poland, smuggling food, papers, and even people.Soon Chaya joins a resistance cell that runs raids on the Nazis' supplies. But after a mission goes terribly wrong, Chaya's network shatters. She is alone and unsure of where to go, until Esther, a member of her cell, finds her and delivers a message that chills Chaya to her core, and sends her on a journey toward an even la

This book introduces a new approach to embedded development, grounded in modern, industry-standard JavaScript. Using the same language that powers web browsers and Node.js, the Moddable SDK empowers IoT developers to apply many of the same tools and techniques used to build sophisticated websites and mobile apps. The Moddable SDK enables you to unlock the full potential of inexpensive microcontrollers like the ESP32 and ESP8266.Coding for these microcontrollers in C or C++ with the ESP-IDF and Arduino SDKs works for building basic products but doesn't scale to handle the increasingly complex IoT products that customers expect. The Moddable SDK adds the lightweight XS JavaScript engine to those traditional environments, accelerating development with JavaScript while keeping the performance benefits of a native SDK. Building user interfaces and communicating over the network are two areas where JavaScript really shines.IoT Development for ESP32 and ESP8266 with JavaScript shows you how t

This is the definitive story of the case against Jeffrey Epstein and the corrupt system that supported him, told in thrilling detail by the lawyer who has represented Epstein’s victims for more than a decade. In June 2008, Florida-based victims’ rights attorney Bradley J. Edwards was thirty-two years old and had just started his own law firm when a young woman named Courtney Wild came to see him.She told a shocking story of having been sexually coerced at the age of fourteen by a wealthy man in Palm Beach named Jeffrey Epstein. Edwards, who had never heard of Epstein, had no idea that this moment would change the course of his life. Over the next ten years, Edwards devoted himself to bringing Epstein to justice, and came close to losing everything in the process. Edwards tracked down and represented more than twenty of Epstein’s victims, and shined a light on his network of contacts and friends, among them Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew.Edwards g

Despite their apparently divergent accounts of higher cognition, cognitive theories based on neural computation and those employing symbolic computation can in fact strengthen one another. To substantiate this controversial claim, this landmark work develops in depth a cognitive architecture based in neural computation but supporting formally explicit higher-level symbolic descriptions, including new grammar formalisms.Detailed studies in both phonology and syntax provide arguments that these grammatical theories and their neural network realizations enable deeper explanations of early acquisition, processing difficulty, cross-linguistic typology, and the possibility of genomically encoding universal principles of grammar. Foundational questions concerning the explanatory status of symbols for central problems such as the unbounded productivity of higher cognition are also given proper treatment.The work is made accessible to scholars in different fields of cognitive science through tu
