Donald Michie on Machine Intelligence, Biology and More By Ashwin Srinivasan, Donald Michie, I.J. Good, J.D. Biggers, C.A. Sammut, S.H. Muggleton, Anne McLaren 2009 | 345 Pages | ISBN: 0199573042 | DJVU | 16 MB "Donald Michie was an extraordinary character. In a scientific career that spanned nearly 65 years, he was the pioneer in several fields including computing, mouse embryology, transplantation biology, and machine intelligence. Tragically, he died in a car crash in 2007.Here, Ashwin Srinivasan presents a varied collection of Michie's writings, from Colossus and computers to mouse genetics and politics. Srinivasan, a computer scientist and graduate student of Donald Michie, introduces each section and brings together an engaging collection of lively essays, revealing Michie's remarkable personality and painting a picture of his life and interests.""Ashwin Srinivasan received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of New South Wales, Australia, in 1991. In 1991 he joined the Turing Institute, Scotland. From 1993, he was a member of the Oxford University's Computing Laboratory, where he was involved in pioneering applications of logic-based machine learning to difficult real-world problems in biology and chemistry. In 2003, he moved to the IBM India Research Laboratory in New Delhi as a Research Staff Member. He is the recipient of several awards and fellowships, and is regularly invited to present work on machine-assisted methods for scientific knowledge discovery.""What then of this particular book? I would like to think of it as telling a story of the many facets of Donald Michie's extraordinary life. But how does one tell the story of a would-be classicist, cryptographer, biologist, computer scientist, and humanist? I have chosen to do it through his essays and interviews, that are, whenever possible, of a non-technical nature. There are other ways of course. Some would have picked seminal papers. Others, with more courage, would have written a biographical account. I wanted a readable story that would bring out not just his insights, but also some of his own humorous style. In cases where I could not find non-technical descriptions, I have resorted to an edited version of a technical paper. In all cases, I have selected material already published, but which I found unusual, in the hope of being able to interest more than just his friends and colleagues. But the combination of tributes in the Foreword and the introductory notes in each section will give readers a glimpse of some of the other ways in which this book could have been written."  Ebony O. McGee, "Diversifying STEM: Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Race and Gender" English | ISBN: 1978805675 | 2019 | 280 pages | PDF | 1239 KB 2020 Choice Outstanding Academic Title  Discourse Analysis and Austerity: Critical Studies from Economics and Linguistics by Kate Power, Tanweer Ali English | Mar 18, 2019 | ISBN: 1138632546, 0367671581 | 376 pages | PDF | 36 MB In the immediate aftermath of the global financial crisis of 2008, governments around the developed world coordinated policy moves to stimulate economic activity and avert a depression. In subsequent years, however, cuts to public expenditure, or austerity, have become the dominant narrative in public debate on economic policy.  Desire in Ashes: Deconstruction, Psychoanalysis, Philosophy By Simon Morgan Wortham; Chiara Alfano 2015 | 192 Pages | ISBN: 1472529138 | PDF | 8 MB [center]  Paul Simpson, "Desexualisation in Later Life: The Limits of Sex and Intimacy " English | ISBN: 1447355466 | 2021 | 208 pages | PDF | 13 MB [center]  Damanhur: Social Alchemy, Magical Temples and the Superindividual by Jeff Merrifield English | August 10th, 2021 | ISBN: 1786783703 | 224 pages | True EPUB | 43.03 MB Damanhur in Italy has for nearly 45 years been an experiment in human consciousness and in this fully illustrated book Jeff Merrifield outlines the exciting discoveries that the community is making.  Crime and Punishment in Russia: A Comparative History from Peter the Great to Vladimir Putin By Jonathan Daly; Jonathan Smele; Michael Melancon 2018 | 258 Pages | ISBN: 1474224369 | PDF | 5 MB Crime and Punishment in Russiasurveys the evolution of criminal justice in Russia during a span of more than 300 years, from the early modern era to the present day. Maps, organizational charts, a list of important dates, and a glossary help the reader to navigate key institutional, legal, political, and cultural developments in this evolution.The book approaches Russia both on its own terms and in light of changes in Europe and the wider West, to which Russia's rulers and educated elites continuously looked for legal models and inspiration. It examines the weak advancement of the rule of the law over the period and analyzes the contrasts and seeming contradictions of a society in which capital punishment was sharply restricted in the mid-1700s, while penal and administrative exile remained heavily applied until 1917 and even beyond. Daly also provides concise political, social, and economic contextual detail, showing how the story of crime and punishment fits into the broader narrative of modern Russian history.This is an important and useful book for all students of modern Russian history as well as of the history of crime and punishment in modern Europe.  Kaan Kirali, "Coronary Artery Disease - Assessment, Surgery, Prevention" English | ISBN: 9535122061 | 2015 | 314 pages | PDF | 8 MB Coronary artery atherosclerosis is the most common cardiac pathology, which is the primary cause of cardiac mortality. Coronary artery stenosis usually involves the proximal portion of the larger epicardial coronary arteries, but diffuse coronary artery disease is also not rare. Most of the patients with/without several comorbidities have asymptomatic atherosclerotic lesions in the coronary territory, and hence early assessment of coronary artery pathology is of utmost importance. Since early surgical intervention is superior to percutaneous interventions, coronary artery bypass grafting is the first choice for the treatment of coronary artery disease. Coronary revascularization can be performed with different approaches according to the patients risk factors. Preventive treatment of coronary artery disease should be the basic strategy for a healthy system.  Satyaki Roy, "Contours of Value Capture: India's Neoliberal Path of Industrial Development" English | ISBN: 1108486916 | 2020 | 214 pages | PDF | 3 MB This book provides a critical perspective on contemporary debates on industrialisation in India. It aims to study the process of industrialisation at a conceptual level and articulate and contest the evolving debates and discourses. Instituting a market led growth in India ended in a trajectory that depends heavily on profit income led and corporate driven growth. However, the performances as well as fault lines assessed in terms of industrial growth are often restricted to a discourse on shifting relative importance of agriculture, industry and services and are largely pegged on the state versus private debate. It appears that the heterogeneous space of critical perspective tends to undermine the more fundamental questions that need to be raised in relation to the larger perspective of capitalist industrialisation in India. This book addresses these questions and provides insights into the complexities of the process and growth of industrialisation as it has played out in contemporary India.  Laura Gray, "Contemporary British Ceramics and the Influence of Sculpture: Monuments, Multiples, Destruction and Display " English | ISBN: 1138054291 | 2017 | 146 pages | EPUB, PDF | 3 MB + 10 MB This book investigates how British contemporary artists who work with clay have managed, in the space of a single generation, to take ceramics from niche-interest craft to the pristine territories of the contemporary art gallery. This development has been accompanied (and perhaps propelled) by the kind of critical discussion usually reserved for the 'higher' discipline of sculpture. Ceramics is now encountering and colliding with sculpture, both formally and intellectually. Laura Gray examines what this means for the old hierarchies between art and craft, the identity of the potter, and the character of a discipline tied to a specific material but wanting to participate in critical discussions that extend far beyond clay. |
