This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quali sono i fondamenti teorici che sono alla base del comportamento dei sistemi complessi? Come comprendere e valutare le prestazioni di un sistema che si comporta in maniera autonoma? La Teoria dei Sistemi ci introduce alla comprensione dei paradigmi e dei concetti che popolano il sorprendente mondo dell’Automatica. Dopo una breve introduzione destinata ad illustrare in modo succinto il punto di vista dell’Automatica, viene presentata la classe di modelli che sono oggetto di studio: si tratta delle rappresentazioni con lo stato lineari, stazionarie a dimensione finita, sia a tempo continuo che discreto. Lo studio nel dominio del tempo e della variabile complessa, sino alla caratterizzazione del comportamento in frequenza consente di mettere in evidenza i riscontri applicativi ai risultati teorici. Lo studio della stabilità interna ed esterna, delle proprietà dello spazio di stato, dei modelli dei sistemi interconnessi e delle loro proprietà in relazione a quelle dei componenti, sono i tasselli di un mosaico dei metodi fondamentali che vengono illustrati. La loro utilità nella valutazione delle prestazioni e nel progetto dei sistemi di controllo viene messa in luce nell’ultimo capitolo dove viene studiato il problema della modifica della dinamica con controreazione dall’uscita.

Download or read book The Unconscious as Infinite Sets written by Ignacio Matte Blanco and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-29 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A systematic effort to rethink Freud's theory of the unconscious, aiming to separate out the different forms of unconsciousness. The logico-mathematical treatment of the subject is made easy because every concept used is simple and simply explained from first principles. Each renewed explanation of the facts brings the emergence of new knowledge from old material of truly great importance to the clinician and the theorist alike. A highly original book that ought to be read by everyone interested in psychiatry or in Freudian psychology.
Download or read book The Mathematics Teacher in the Digital Era written by Alison Clark-Wilson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-08 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses the key issue of the initial education and lifelong professional learning of teachers of mathematics to enable them to realize the affordances of educational technology for mathematics. With invited contributions from leading scholars in the field, this volume contains a blend of research articles and descriptive texts. In the opening chapter John Mason invites the reader to engage in a number of mathematics tasks that highlight important features of technology-mediated mathematical activity. This is followed by three main sections: An overview of current practices in teachers’ use of digital technologies in the classroom and explorations of the possibilities for developing more effective practices drawing on a range of research perspectives (including grounded theory, enactivism and Valsiner’s zone theory). A set of chapters that share many common constructs (such as instrumental orchestration, instrumental distance and double instrumental genesis) and research settings that have emerged from the French research community, but have also been taken up by other colleagues. Meta-level considerations of research in the domain by contrasting different approaches and proposing connecting or uniting elements

Download or read book Evolution of Self Consciousness written by Chauncey Wright and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-03 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Evolution of Self-Consciousness, Wright endeavored to explain the most elaborate psychical activities of men as developments of elementary forms of conscious processes present in the animal kingdom as a whole. The immediacy of sensible qualities to consciousness entails that there is no way to separate subject and object in consciousness. In this quotation, Wright suggests that the division of subject from object may constitute "rightly dividing the world" as indexed by survival value. A division made in these terms, rather than by an individual's experiences of himself and the world, is a reasonable basis for natural realism.

This book was released on 2007-06-30 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analytic philosophers once pantomimed physics, trying to understand the world by breaking it down. Thinkers from the Darwinian sciences now pose alternatives to such reductionism. Wimsatt argues that today’s scientists seek to atomize phenomena only to understand how entities, events, and processes articulate at different levels.
Download or read book The Foundations of Ethology written by K. Lorenz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a contribution to the history of ethology-not a definitive history, but the personal view of a major figure in that story. It is all the more welcome because such a grand theme as ethology calls for a range of perspectives. One reason is the overarching scope of the subject. Two great questions about life that constitute much of biology are "How does it work (structure and function)?" and "How did it get that way (evolu tion and ontogeny)?" Ethology addresses the antecedent of "it. " Of what are we trying to explain the mechanism and development? Surely behav ior, in all its wealth of detail, variation, causation, and control, is the main achievement of animal evolution, the essential consequence of animal structure and function, the raison d' etre of all the rest. Ethology thus spans between and overlaps with the ever-widening circles of ecol ogy over the eons and the ever-narrowing focus of physiology of the neurons. Another reason why the history of ethology needs perspectives is the recency of its acceptance. For such an obviously major aspect of animal biology, it is curious how short a time-less than three decades-has seen the excitement of an active field and a substantial fraternity of work ers, the addition of professors and courses to departments and curricula in biology (still far from universal}, and the normal complement of spe cial journals, symposia, and sessions at congresses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This translation contains a synopsis of all the ideas that made Lorenz famous as the founder of ethology, the study of comparative animal behavior. edited from the author's posthumous works by Agnes von CranachHere Am I Where Are You?: The Behavior of the Greylag Goose was thought to be Konrad Lorenz's last book. However, in 1991 the Russian Manuscript was discovered in an attic, and its subsequent publication in German has become a scientific sensation. Written under the most extreme conditions in Soviet prison camps, the Russian Manuscript was the first outline of a large-scale work on behavioralscience. This translation contains a synopsis of all the ideas thatmade Lorenz famous as the founder of ethology, the study of comparative animal behavior.
Download or read book Bright Air Brilliant Fire written by Gerald M. Edelman and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author takes the reader on a tour that covers such topics as computers, evolution, Descartes, Schrodinger, and the nature of perception, language, and invididuality. He argues that biology provides the key to understanding the brain. Underlying his argument is the evolutionary view that the mind arose at a definite time in history. This book ponders connections between psychology and physics, medicine, philosophy, and more. Frequently contentious, Edelman attacks cognitive and behavioral approaches, which leave biology out of the picture, as well as the currently fashionable view of the brain as a computer.

Download or read book Analisi dei sistemi dinamici written by Alessandro Giua and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-09-21 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questo testo si propone di fornire al lettore una panoramica dettagliata delle principali metodologie modellistiche usate per la rappresentazione e l’analisi dei sistemi dinamici lineari e a tempo continuo (con alcuni cenni ai sistemi non lineari). Il testo è stato pensato per il Nuovo Ordinamento didattico che prevede una Laurea triennale e una Laurea Specialistica biennale. L’obiettivo è quello di coprire i contenuti di: un insegnamento introduttivo all’Automatica per la Laurea, pensando ad un corso di studi che preveda un primo corso di Analisi dei Sistemi ed un secondo corso di Controlli Automatici; un insegnamento avanzato di Analisi dei Sistemi per la Laurea Specialistica. Il testo è strutturato in maniera tale che gli studenti della Laurea possano seguire un percorso in cui nei primi capitoli le sezioni dedicate ad argomenti complementari (rivolte agli studenti della Laurea Specialistica) possano essere omesse senza pregiudicare la comprensione. Gli argomenti rivolti agli studenti della Laurea Specialistica sono trattati in svariate sezioni di complemento dei primi capitoli e negli ultimi due capitoli. Le caratteristiche salienti di questo testo, che lo distinguono da altri presenti nel panorama italiano, sono le seguenti: si tratta di un volume di circa 400 pagine principalmente dedicato all’analisi dei sistemi lineari e stazionari a ciclo aperto (e non dei sistemi in controreazione o in genere dei sistemi di controllo) e a tempo continuo (e non dei sistemi a tempo discreto). Due capitoli, tuttavia, approfondiscono lo studio dei sistemi in retroazione e dei sistemi non lineari. Vengono studiati in dettaglio sia i modelli ingresso-uscita sia i modelli in termini di variabili di stato. Vengono illustrate in dettaglio sia le tecniche di analisi nel dominio del tempo che le tecniche di analisi nel dominio della variabile di Laplace e della frequenza.
Download or read book Taking Darwin Seriously written by Michael Ruse and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1986-01-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applying evolutionary biology to traditional philosophical problems, this volume establishes a naturalistic approach to our understanding of life's major problems. Ruse argues thoughtfully that to understand the problems of knowledge and moral thought and behavior, we must know that we are the end-products of the natural process of evolution rather than the special creation of a supernatural god.

Book excerpt: THE SCIENCE OF MECHANICS A CRITICAL AND HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF ITS DEVELOPMENT DR. ERNST MACH PROFESSOR OF TE HISTORY AND THEORY OF INDUCTIVE SCIENCE IN THE UNIVERSITY OF VIENNA TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN BY THOMAS J. McCORMACK VITir TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY CUTS AND ILLUSTRATIONS FOURTH EDITION CHICAGO LONDON THE OPEN COURT PUBLISHING CO. 1919 PROFESSOR ERXST MACH IS S-lOKi TRANSLATORS PREFACE TO THE SECOND ENGLISH EDITION. SINCE the appearance of the first edition of the present translation of Machs Mechanics, the views which Professor Mach has advanced on the philoso phy of science have found wide and steadily increas ing acceptance. Many fruitful and elucidative con troversies have sprung from his discussions of the historical, logical, and psychological foundations of physical science, and in consideration of the great ideal success which his works have latterly met with in Continental Europe, the time seems ripe for a still wider dissemination of his views in English-speaking countries. The study of the history and theory of science is finding fuller and fuller recognition In our universities, and it Is to be hoped that the present ex emplary treatment of the simplest and most typical branch of physics will stimulate further progress in this direction, The text of the present edition, which contains the extensive additions made by the author to the Die Mechanik in ihrer Entwickelung historisch-kritisch dargesiellt. Von Dr. Ernst Mach, Professor an der Universitat zu Wien. Mit 257 Abbildungen. First German edition, 1883. Fourth German edition, 1901. First edition of the English translation, Chicago, The Open Court Publishing Co., 1893. vi TRANS LA TOR S PREFA CM. latest Germaneditions, has been thoroughly revised by the translator. All errors, either of substance or typography, so far as they have come to the trans lators notice, have been removed, and in many cases the phraseology has been altered. The sub-title of the work has, in compliance with certain criticisms, also been changed, to accord more with the wording of the original title and to bring out the idea that the work treats of the principles of mechanics predomi nantly under the aspect of their development Entwicke lung. To avoid confusion in the matter of references, the main title stands as in the first edition. The authors additions, which are considerable, have been relegated to the Appendix. This course has been deemed preferable to that of incorporating them in the text, first, because the numerous refer ences in other works to the pages of the first edition thus hold good for the present edition also, and sec ondly, because with few exceptions the additions are either supplementary in character, or in answer to criticisms. A list of the subjects treated in these ad ditions is given in the Table of Contents, under the heading Appendix on page xix. Special reference, however, must be made to the additions referring to Hertzs Mechanics pp. 548-555, and to the history of the development of Professor Machs own philosophical and scientific views, notably to his criticisms of the concepts of mass, inertia, ab solute motion, etc., on pp. 542-547, 555574, and 579 TJtANSLA TORS PREFA CE. vii - 583. The remarks here made will be found highly elucidative, while the references given to the rich lit erature dealing with the history and philosophy of science will also be found helpful. As for the rest, the text of the present edition of the translation is the same as that of the first. It has had the sanction of the author and the advantage of revision by Mr. C. S. Peirce, well known for his studies both of analytical mechanics and of the his tory and logic of physics. Mr. Peirce read the proofs of the first edition and rewrote Sec. 8 in the chapter on Units and Measures, where the original was in applicable to the system commonly taught in this county. THOMAS J.
