Syndromes of Corruption: Wealth, Power, and Democracy

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Corruption is a threat to democracy and economic development in many societies. It arises in the ways people pursue, use and exchange wealth and power, and in the strength or weakness of the state, political and social institutions that sustain and restrain those processes. Differences in these factors, Michael Johnston argues, give rise to four major syndromes of corruption: Influence Markets, Elite Cartels, Oligarchs and Clans, and Official Moguls. Johnston uses statistical measures to identify societies in each group, and case studies to show that the expected syndromes do arise. [detailed...]

Synergetic Computers &, Cognition

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book presents a novel approach to neural nets and thus offers a genuine alternative to the hitherto known neuro-computers. This approach is based on the author`s discovery of the profound analogy between pattern recognition and pattern formation in open systems far from equilibrium. Thus the mathematical and conceptual tools of synergetics can be exploited, and the concept of the synergetic computer formulated. A complete and rigorous theory of pattern recognition and learning is presented. The resulting algorithm can be implemented on serial computers or realized by fully parallel nets whereby no spurious states occur. Explicit examples (e.g. recognition of faces and city maps) are provided. The recognition process is made invariant with respect tosimultaneous translation, rotation, and scaling, and allows the recognition of complex scenes. Oscillations and hysteresis in the perception of ambiguous patterns are treated, as well as the recognition of movement patterns. A… [detailed...]

Synergetics: Introduction and Advanced Topics

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book is an often-requested reprint of two classic texts by H. Haken: `Synergetics. An Introduction` and `Advanced Synergetics`. Synergetics, an interdisciplinary research program initiated by H. Haken in 1969, deals with the systematic and methodological approach to the rapidly growing field of complexity. Going well beyond qualitative analogies between complex systems in fields as diverse as physics, chemistry, biology, sociology and economics, Synergetics uses tools from theoretical physics and mathematics to construct an unifying framework within which quantitative descriptions of complex, self-organizing systems can be made. This may well explain the timelessness of H. Haken`s original texts on this topic, which are now recognized as landmarks in the field of complex systems. They provide both the beginning graduate student and the seasoned researcher with solid knowledge of the basic concepts and mathematical tools. Moreover, they admirably convey the… [detailed...]

Synergy Matters - Working with Systems in the 21st Century

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The 21st century is now almost upon us and, whilst this represents a somewhat artificial boundary, it provides an opportunity for reflection upon the changes, and the accelerating pace of change, in our social, economic, and natural environments. These changes and their effects are profound, not least in terms of access to information and communication technologies, at once global in effect and manifest locally. These changes and their consequent demands are reflected in the theme of this volume: SynergyMatters, proceedings from the 6th UK Systems Society International Conference. [detailed...]

Syngress IT Security Project Management Handbook

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The First and Last Word on Managing IT Security Projects As the late management guru Peter Drucker once said, `Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.` The intent of this book is not to lead you through long, arduous planning processes while hackers are stealing your network out from under you. The intent is to provide you with effective network security planning tools so that you can `degenerate into hard work` as quickly as possible to keep your network secure with the least amount of effort. Rather than losing sleep at night wondering who`s wandering around your network in the dark, you can create a comprehensive security solution for your company that will meet your security needs today and will allow you to address new security requirements in the future. This book is designed to help you do exactly that. Analyze the Cost of Prevention Versus Remediation… [detailed...]

Syntactic Wordclass Tagging (Text, speech, and language technology)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book provides an in-depth discussion of the field of syntactic wordclass tagging, i.e. the annotation of the words in a text with tags indicating their syntactic properties. Represented are the viewpoints of the two main groups who take an interest in tagging: the users of tagged text and the developers of tagging software. The book starts out by examining the field foremost from the user`s point of view. After a brief historical overview, the nature and uses of tagging are discussed and current practice is described. Here the user will find what tagging is and the software developer what it is the user wants. The book then switches to the other point of view and continues with a detailed explanation of the most common computational techniques forautomatically tagging large amounts of text. Here the software developer finds information needed for the implementation of a tagger while the user gains insight into the possibilities and impossibilities of automatic tagging and how… [detailed...]

Elena Lombardi
Syntax of Desire, the: Language and Love in Augustine, the Modistae, Dante

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
Description: In medieval culture, the consideration of language is deeply connected to other aspects of the system of knowledge. One interesting connection takes place between theories of language and theories of larger concepts such as love and desire. The Syntax of Desire is an interdisciplinary examination of the interlacing operation of syntax and desire in three medieval ?grammars:? theological, linguistic, and poetic. Exploring three representative aspects of medieval language theory, Elena Lombardi uncovers the ways in which syntax and desire were interrelated in the Middle Ages. She suggests that, in Augustine?s theology, the creative act of God in the universe emerges as a syntax that the human individual must interpret by means of desire, in the linguistic theory of the Modistae, she sees the syntax of language as parallel to a syntax of reality, one organized by the desiring interplay of matter and form, in Dante?s poetry, she argues that the language of the fallen human is bound… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: The first motivation of Synthesis and Control of Discrete Event Systems is to inform the reader of recent developments and current trends in system synthesis. This is a field of active research aiming to supply efficient techniques for developing safe systems in various areas, covering control of embedded and manufacturing systems, distributed implementation of systems and protocols, and hardware circuits. In all areas, considerations about distribution and care for an efficient implementation of the synthesised systems play an increasing role, justified by better applicability to problems encountered in the design of practical systems. The second motivation of the book, which is a selection of presentations given at two workshops on synthesis of controllers and on synthesis of concurrent systems, is to incite the research community to establish stronger links between two subjects that could be better related, as several presentations do show. The selected papers are research papers… [detailed...]

Synthetic Pyrethroids: Occurrence and Behavior in Aquatic Environments (Acs Symposium Series)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book examines the fate and effects of pyrethroid compounds, with an emphasis on processes leading to off-site movement, impacts on aquatic ecosystems, and approaches for risk mitigation. It contains new studies and up-to-date reviews in 20 information-packed chapters. Synthetic pyrethroids are an important class of insecticides that have found widespread use in both urban and agricultural systems. Their importance will likely increase further as the use of some organophosphate and carbamate products, e.g., diazinon and chlorpyrifos, is becoming restricted. The increased use, along with the heightened awareness of nonpoint source pollution and its impacts on surface water quality has stimulated research leading to detections of pyrethroid residues in surface aquatic systems. Consequently, research on the fate, transport and ecotoxicological effects of pyrethroids has expanded considerably over the last decade. This book describes various aspects of recent research and… [detailed...]

Synthetic Socialism: Plastics and Dictatorship in the German Democratic Republic

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Eli Rubin takes an innovative approach to consumer culture to explore questions of political consensus and consent and the impact of ideology on everyday life in the former East Germany. Synthetic Socialism explores the history of East Germany through the production and use of a deceptively simple material: plastic. Rubin investigates the connections between the communist government, its Bauhaus-influenced designers, its retooled postwar chemical industry, and its general consumer population. He argues that East Germany was neither a totalitarian state nor a niche society but rather a society shaped by the confluence of unique economic and political circumstances interacting with the concerns of ordinary citizens.To East Germans, Rubin says, plastic was a high-technology material, a symbol of socialism`s scientific and economic superiority over capitalism. Most of all, the state and its designers argued, plastic goods were of a particularly special quality, not to be thrown away like… [detailed...]
