Graphical Models

Steffen L. Lauritzen, quot;Graphical Modelsquot;
Oxford University Press, USA | 2009 | ISBN: 0198522193 | 312 pages | Djvu | 7,2 mb
The application of graph theory to modelling systems began in several scientific areas, among them statistical physics (the study of large particle systems), genetics (studying inheritable properties of natural species), and interactions in contingency tables. The use of graphical models in statistics has increased considerably in these and other areas such as artificial intelligence, and the theory has been greatly developed and extended. This is the first comprehensive and authoritative account of the theory of graphical models. Written by a leading expert in the field, it contains the fundamentals graph required and a thorough study of Markov properties associated with various type of graphs, the statistical theory of log-linear and graphical models, and graphical tables with mixed discrete-continuous variables in developed detail. Special topics, such as the application of graphical models to probabilistic expert systems, are described briefly, and appendices give details of the multivariate normal distribution and of the theory of regular exponential families.

Five Thousand B.C. and Other Philosophical Fantasies

Raymond Smullyan, quot;Five Thousand B.C. and Other Philosophical Fantasiesquot;
St. Martin's | 1983 | ISBN: 0312295162, 0312295170 | 224 pages | File type: PDF | 1,4 mb
Summary: Witty!
Rating: 5

This book is a collection of anecdotes, discussions and little philosophical dramas. It is an esy read, but some of the ideas are very deep, some are just funny. Anyone with the slightest interest in philosophy whatsoever can and should read this little book. The book adresses epistemology, religion, ethics and logic. Some things are weird and not really related to philosophy but still fascinating.

In his dramas, Smullyan plays with many philosophical schools and positions. On the way he creates some new philosophical schools of thought, which is a lot of fun. Everyone who wants to know what experimental epistemology or materialistic mysticism is should read this book.

Summary: excellent
Rating: 5

This isn't one of Smullyan's books of logic puzzles (those are great too!), but rather contains highly entertaining (and mind-stretching) flights of philosophical fantasy and paradox. If you like Godel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstadter, you'll like this.

Crystal Growth of Silicon for Solar Cells

Kazuo Nakajima, Noritaka Usami, quot;Crystal Growth of Silicon for Solar Cellsquot;
Springer | 2009 | ISBN: 3642020437 | 255 pages | File type: PDF | 4,2 mb
This volume presents a comprehensive survey of the science and technology of crystal growth of Si for solar cells with emphasis on fundamental science. Starting from feedstock, crystal growth of bulk crystals (single crystal and multicrystals) and thin film crystals are discussed. Numerous illustrations promote a comprehension of crystal-growth physics. The fundamental knowledge on crystal growth mechanisms obtained through this book will contribute to future developments of novel crystal growth technologies for further improvement of conversion efficiency of Si-based solar cells.

Cosmological Inflation and Large-Scale Structure

Cosmological Inflation and Large-Scale Structure
Publisher: Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 052166022X | edition 2000 | File type: PDF | 400 pages | 15,4 mb
Both Liddle and Lyth have been active contributors to important developments in the fields of inflation and large-scale structure for well over a decade. Their depth of knowledge and expertise provide a rock-solid foundation for this book, which is carefully constructed, well-written, well-organized, and crysta; clear in its presentation. The book is ideal for an advanced undergraduate course in cosmology that focuses on inflation and large-scale structure. .In sum, Liddle and Lyth have produced a highly focused, fantastically useful book.Inflation and large-scale structure are fast-moving, rapidly developing fields, yet the basics are unlikely to change in the near future.

Die Collective Mind Methode: Projekterfolg durch Soft Skills

Jens K?hler, Alfred Oswald, quot;Die Collective Mind Methode: Projekterfolg durch Soft Skillsquot;
Springer | 2009 | ISBN: 3642001076 | 200 pages | File type: PDF | 1,2 mb
Die Beherrschung der ?hartenquot; Faktoren wie Projektplanung, Budgetierung und Qualit?tsmanagement geh?rt zum Standardrepertoire des Projektmanagers. Dagegen betritt man mit der bewussten Gestaltung der ?weichen Faktorenquot; (Soft Skills) wie Kommunikation, Wissensaustausch, individuelle Erfahrungen und Kompetenzen Neuland. Die Autoren wollen diese Soft Skills beherrschbar machen und ihre Bedeutung zu Wissensgenerierung, Wissenstransport und Umsetzung von Wissen bewerten und typisieren. Sie zeigen, dass der Projekterfolg hoch ist, wenn sich ein gemeinsamer Projektverstand, ein ?Collective Mindquot; ausbildet. Das Buch vermittelt Methoden zur Nachvollzieh- und Messbarkeit des Collective Mind, dessen Bildung und Umsetzung in zielorientiertes Handeln eine zentrale Aufgabe des Projektmanagements darstellt und entscheidend zum Projekterfolg beitr?gt. Typische Projektszenen, ein Test und Best Practices erh?hen den praktischen Nutzen des Werkes als praxisbezogene Methodik f��r Manager und Projektleiter.
