Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In June of 1925, almost a hundred years ago, Werner Heisenberg spent ten days on the island of Heligoland - thanks to his hayfever. This respite afforded him the time to write an article that would mark the beginning of the history of modern quantum theory. Two years later, in October of 1927, thefifth Solvay Conference, arguably the most famous gathering in the history of physics, took place in Brussels, bringing the riveting story of the origins of quantum mechanics to a close. During this crucial and relatively short period between 1925 and 1927, eight physicists from five countries developed a theory that would radically change the physical understanding of our world and would become the basis for almost all advanced technologies: transistors, lasers, light-emitting diodes, medical imaging, the electron microscope and much more.The reader will travel through time from September 1924 to October 1927 and learn by way of monthly entries how quantummechanics came into being, what the people involved experienced and thought in thecontext of the time they lived in, and howaunified whole slowly emerged from the interactions of these individuals.The book is aimed at laypeople who are fascinated by quantum mechanics and its history. They will learn that this theory, like Anita Berber, jazz or the invention of television, is a characteristic child of the 1920s. 272 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Machine learning is one of the leading areas of artificial intelligence. It concerns the study and development of quantitative models that enable a computer to carry out operations without having been expressly programmed to do so.In this situation, learning is about identifying complex shapes and making intelligent decisions. The challenge in completing this task, given all the available inputs, is that the set of potential decisions is typically quite difficult to enumerate. Machine learning algorithms have been developed with the goal of learning about the problem to be handled based on a collection of limited data from this problem in order to get around this challenge.This textbook presents the scientific foundations of supervised learning theory, the most widespread algorithms developed according to this framework, as well as the semi-supervised and the learning-to-rank frameworks, at a level accessible to master's students. The aim of the book is to provide a coherent presentation linking the theory to the algorithms developed in this field. In addition, this study is not limited to the presentation of these foundations, but it also presents exercises, and is intended for readers who seek to understand the functioning of these models sometimes designated as black boxes. 309 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book develops on how, with the birth of every baby, comes the possibility of love, connection, and optimal health and well-being. It shows how the salutogenic pathways that are set up at the start of life are not only for the short term but throughout life, and into the next generation. The start of life is now a well-known point of health intervention as can be seen by many government health policies on the first 1000 days (from conception to age two). There is evidence to show that what occurs during birth and the early postnatal period affects the long-term health of the child. Birth is a significant moment in time not only for the child but also for the mother. There are increasing rates of mental health issues in this population, with maternal suicide being a leading cause of mortality in many high-income countries, and postnatal depression increasing in women/birthing people and partners/fathers, which has a significant impact on the developing family. This is occurring within the backdrop of an environment of increasing reports of disrespect and abuse during childbirth, and the dual issues of inadequate access to maternity care and over medicalisation.Scaling up midwifery is seen as a vital part of the solution to current maternity crises but there are potential barriers to midwives providing humanised care within current birth settings, including witnessing or being complicit in dehumanising practices, feeling unsupported, or managing unsafe staffing levels. Humanising birth can be seen as a resistance to dehumanising, disrespectful, over-medicalised and industrialised birth practices, which is grounded in the language of human rights and ethics. In this book we provide a solution-focused approach to current complexities, through the idea of humanised birth, first providing a definition and domains, then exploring the idea from an institutional level, through the level of relationships, to the level of the individual. Support for the growth of secure bonds of love, health, and wellbeing, for thriving rather than just surviving, is critical not only to a healthy happy productive life, but also to cohesive, compassionate, creative and productive communities. 229 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Moving averages of prices serve as the primary tool for tracking trends in financial markets, filtering out noise, and highlighting trend directions. With a plethora of moving averages and trend-following rules at their disposal, traders often find themselves overwhelmed by the sheer variety of choices. Moreover, traders persistently devise new forms of exotic moving averages, each purportedly offering improved responsiveness and smoothness compared to its predecessors. While it is relatively straightforward to visually compare the responsiveness of two different moving averages, assessing their smoothing properties proves to be more challenging. Comparisons made through visual inspection are inherently subjective and prone to biases. A pressing need exists for quantitative metrics to objectively assess the properties of moving averages and their associated trend-following rules.In this book, the authors propose a quantitative assessment of the properties of trend-following rules based on moving averages. They argue that there are three primary properties of trend-following rules: responsiveness, smoothness, and accuracy. Given the prevalent claims that each exotic moving average offers superior responsiveness and smoothness compared to prior versions, the book provides a means to verify the accuracy of these assertions. It offers systematic and comprehensive coverage of various types of moving averages and the trend-following rules based on moving averages, and focuses on identifying the most crucial properties of trend-following rules and proposing quantitative metrics for their evaluation.Despite the plethora of books and academic publications, contemporary trend-following with moving averages remains more of an art than a science. This book injects scientific principles into the practice of trend-following, offering invaluable, distinct, and objective insights tailored for traders and investment professionals involved in trend-following investing alongside academics and students within economic and finance departments. 570 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Understanding the hand's biomechanics is crucial for understanding hand pathology, mechanisms of injury, treatment methods and salvage procedures. While instruction in biomechanics often focuses on gait and the loads on the lower extremity, understanding the biomechanics of grasp and hand manipulation requires a focus on the unique anatomy of the hand. A combination of high dexterity and powerful grasp is enabled by the hand s complex biomechanics, consisting of relatively unstable joints exposed to high demands.This text outlines the anatomy and basic biomechanical principles of the hand and then builds on this to demonstrate biomechanical principles of bone, ligament and tendon repair and healing. Attention is placed on reconstructive and salvage procedures, both bony and soft tissue, and their effect on neighboring structures and function. Understanding these principles allows surgeons in training and practice to tailor their treatment regimens more closely to the patient at hand. Moreover, future potential areas for growth and development, such as robotic surgery and 3-D printing, are being explored from the biomechanics standpoint.Biomechanics of the Hand may be used as a stand-alone text to understand mechanisms of injury, healing, repair and reconstruction. It also serves as an excellent complement to standard hand surgery texts by expanding the reader's understanding of the underlying pathomechanics leading to disorders of the hand and their treatment options. 363 pp. Englisch.
