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

Search and Classification Using Multiple Autonomous Vehicles provides a comprehensive study of decision-making strategies for domain search and object classification using multiple autonomous vehicles

Historically, naturalists who proposed theories of evolution, including Darwin and Wallace, did so in order to explain the apparent relationship of natural classification. This book begins by exploring the intimate historical relationship between patterns of classification and patterns of phylogeny. However, it is a circular argument to use the data for classification. Alec Panchen presents other evidence for evolution in the form of a historically based but rigorously logical argument. This is followed by a history of methods of classification and phylogeny reconstruction including current mathematical and molecular techniques. The author makes the important claim that if the hierarchical pattern of classification is a real phenomenon, then biology is unique as a science in making taxonomic statements. This conclusion is reached by way of historical reviews of theories of evolutionary mechanism and the philosophy of science as applied to biology. The book is addressed to biologists, p

「2029年，AI將通過圖靈測試，聽得懂笑話、理解愛的機器人將會出現」 「2045年，人類將進入技術奇點，電腦可以與人腦完美結合」 這是本書作者雷‧庫茲威爾（Ray Kurzweil）曾經做出的大膽預測，如今將要實現。他曾擔任Google的工程總監，目前為Google的首席研究員和AI遠見家，是當今最具影響力的發明家、思想家、未來學家、AI的先驅研究者。他在這本書中，將揭露「人類－機器」文明史上最重要的計畫，也就是運用「逆向工程」來還原人腦的運作模式，利用模擬人類的大腦運作，來實現人工智慧（AI）。AI的概念，大約起於1940年代，圖靈（Alan Turing）、馮諾曼（John von Neumann）等人進行的思考實驗與實作……直到今天，AI已經進入人們的生活，帶來了翻天覆地的影響。然而，電腦能夠變得如此聰明，要歸功於幾十年來腦科學、計算能力的大幅進步。作者估計，人腦的新皮質中大約有3億個模式辨識器（pattern recognizer），它們是同步運作的，可以處理從低概念層級的例如視覺、聽覺的基本輸入，到高概念層級的判斷、預測、表達等等；而各個神經元之間有一千兆個連結，使得「學習」成為可能。重點是，人腦的新皮質是一種層級式的結構，而AI的模型也依此而建立。書中將重點介紹「思維模式辨識理論」（Pattern Recognition Theory of Mind），據以建立模擬人腦的模型，因此，電腦能夠有學習能力、具有意識，能夠理解情感、表達情感，並能懂得雙關語、幽默和嫉妒。融合了神經科學研究以及指數型成長的計算能力，這本書解釋了AI的基本原理與實作，以及未來的發展，我們將會造出比人類更聰明的機器，並且幫助解決人類社會的重要問題。★★★本書為《人工智慧的未來》改版★★★相關報導：作者庫茲威爾於TED的演講（中文字幕）https://www.ted.com/talks/ray_kurzweil_get_ready_for_hybrid_thinking?subtitle=zh-tw Google賦予機器人「意識」的專家：聽得懂笑話、理解愛的機器人會在2029年出現（《WIRED》訪問作者庫茲威爾）http://techorange.com/2013/12/06/how-ray-kurzweil-help-google-make-the

Offers a comprehensive history of the battle for Kyiv, from the Hostomel assault to the Russian retreat, using new Ukrainian and Russian accounts, OSINT, and detailed illustrations.This work is one of the first published histories to examine this battle in its entirety, from the dramatic heliborne assault on Hostomel to the mauling of Russian units fleeing encirclement during Ukraine's counteroffensive. Drawing from a synthesis of newly available Ukrainian and Russian accounts and Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) gathering, Volume 8 builds upon the work conducted in Volumes 2, 5, and 6 to provide a richer and more comprehensive picture of the Russian axes of advance on Kyiv and their eventual defeats.The opening events of the operation are recast in the light of contemporary evidence, revealing new aspects of the controversial Ukrainian counterattack against Hostomel Airport late on 24 February 2022 for instance, whilst many previously unsung engagements of the subsequent fighting are

Jinwoo is alarmed to learn about the timeless war between the Monarchs and the Rulers―a war that, according to the King of the Giants, will soon rage on Earth.

The two members of Ahjin Guild head for the US to attend the International Guild Conference and get to the bottom of things. Little do they realize that setting foot in America means crossing paths with Dongsoo Hwang, who has a bone to pick with Jinwoo about the death of his brother―and isn’t above using Jinho as bait!
