Du bist, was Dich stresst!: Tabula Rasa für chronisch Gestresste im digitalen Zeitalter (Über/Strom: Wegweiser durchs digitale Zeitalter)
by Kathrin MarterViele Menschen nutzen täglich die Vorteile des digitalen Zeitalters: wenn sie mal eben ihr Zugticket mit dem Smartphone buchen, sich von ebendiesem zum vereinbarten Treffpunkt navigieren lassen und dann per Textnachricht erfahren, dass die werten Kolleg*innen ein paar Minuten zu spät kommen, der Tisch im Restaurant online schon reserviert wurde und das „Tisch-Ticket“ per QR-Code gleich mitsenden. Viele Menschen erfahren sich bei aller Erleichterung zunehmend reizüberflutet, überfordert und in der Folge gestresst.Der Begriff und Zustand „Stress“ (heutzutage im Sprachjargon als diffus definierter Normalzustand verankert und schon lange in der Mitte der Gesellschaft angekommen) ist allerdings tatsächlich ein Zustand, der vielfältigen Leidensdruck verursacht und krank macht.Die Autorin unterstützt allgemeinverständlich, anschaulich sowie naturwissenschaftlich und psychologisch fundiert bei der Auseinandersetzung mit Stress, Stressoren und Prozessen der Langzeitgedächtnisbildung. Letztere sind nicht unwesentlich an unserem chronischen Stresslevel beteiligt. Langzeitgedächtnisse, die, häufig schon in der Kindheit geformt, starke negative Glaubenssätze beinhalten. Diese negativen Glaubenssätze erfahren durch die Herausforderungen der digitalen Welt permanente Verstärkung und begünstigen dadurch chronischen Stress - mit seinen für viele Menschen spürbaren Folgen.Das Buch lädt ein, klärt auf und gibt fundierte, anschauliche und handlungsorientierte Ansätze zur Selbstreflexion und Entwicklung einer gesunden Handlungskompetenz gegenüber dem eigenen Stresslevel, folglich der eigenen Gesundheit und dem eigenen Glück.
Dual-Control-Design: TP and TS Fuzzy Model Transformation Based Control Optimisation and Design (Topics in Intelligent Engineering and Informatics #17)
by Péter BaranyiThe TP and TS Fuzzy model transformation based control design has revolutionized the field of control design by introducing a highly effective approach. Through the TP model transformation, it has become evident that the design of controllers and observers, as well as the effectiveness of applied LMIs, are greatly influenced by the shape of the antecedent Fuzzy sets and the number and location of the consequent systems.Furthermore, the TP model transformation has revealed that the sensitivity of controller and observer design differs in nature. This implies that the overseer and controller design require different TS Fuzzy model representations of the system at hand. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of this phenomenon.The book introduces several new theoretical advancements in the TP or TS Fuzzy model transformation based control design framework. It presents a complete framework for TP and TS Fuzzy model transformation and offers various tools based on this approach to enhance control design effectiveness. The book introduces novel theoretical concepts, such as interpolation between alternative TS Fuzzy model representations, which leads to a new optimization framework. It also explores methods to achieve further complexity reduction beyond rank minimization. Additionally, the book addresses the execution of TS Fuzzy model transformation for large-sized problems and demonstrates how to reinforce various properties of antecedent Fuzzy sets through manipulation.Practical hints and guidance for control design is provided throughout the book, with examples illustrating the application of novel solutions. Matlab codes are also included to facilitate the implementation of the proposed methods.
Dual Learning
by Tao QinMany AI (and machine learning) tasks present in dual forms, e.g., English-to-Chinese translation vs. Chinese-to-English translation, speech recognition vs. speech synthesis,question answering vs. question generation, and image classification vs. image generation. Dual learning is a new learning framework that leverages the primal-dual structure of AI tasks to obtain effective feedback or regularization signals in order to enhance the learning/inference process. Since it was first introduced four years ago, the concept has attracted considerable attention in multiple fields, and been proven effective in numerous applications, such as machine translation, image-to-image translation, speech synthesis and recognition, (visual) question answering and generation, image captioning and generation, and code summarization and generation. Offering a systematic and comprehensive overview of dual learning, this book enables interested researchers (both established and newcomers) and practitioners to gain a better understanding of the state of the art in the field. It also provides suggestions for further reading and tools to help readers advance the area. The book is divided into five parts. The first part gives a brief introduction to machine learning and deep learning. The second part introduces the algorithms based on the dual reconstruction principle using machine translation, image translation, speech processing and other NLP/CV tasks as the demo applications. It covers algorithms, such as dual semi-supervised learning, dual unsupervised learning and multi-agent dual learning. In the context of image translation, it introduces algorithms including CycleGAN, DualGAN, DiscoGAN cdGAN and more recent techniques/applications. The third part presents various work based on the probability principle, including dual supervised learning and dual inference based on the joint-probability principle and dual semi-supervised learning based on the marginal-probability principle. The fourth part reviews various theoretical studies on dual learning and discusses its connections to other learning paradigms. The fifth part provides a summary and suggests future research directions.
Dual Mode Logic: A New Paradigm for Digital IC Design
by Itamar Levi Alexander FishThis book presents Dual Mode Logic (DML), a new design paradigm for digital integrated circuits. DML logic gates can operate in two modes, each optimized for a different metric. Its on-the-fly switching between these operational modes at the gate, block and system levels provide maximal E-D optimization flexibility. Each highly detailed chapter has multiple illustrations showing how the DML paradigm seamlessly implements digital circuits that dissipate less energy while simultaneously improving performance and reducing area without a significant compromise in reliability. All the facets of the DML methodology are covered, starting from basic concepts, through single gate optimization, general module optimization, design trade-offs and new ways DML can be integrated into standard design flows using standard EDA tools. DML logic is compatible with numerous applications but is particularly advantageous for ultra-low power, reliable high performance systems, and advanced scaled technologies Written in language accessible to students and design engineers, each topic is oriented toward immediate application by all those interested in an alternative to CMOS logic.Describes a novel, promising alternative to conventional CMOS logic, known as Dual Mode Logic (DML), with which a single gate can be operated selectively in two modes, each optimized for a different metric (e.g., energy consumption, performance, size);Demonstrates several techniques at the architectural level, which can result in high energy savings and improved system performance;Focuses on the tradeoffs between power, area and speed including optimizations at the transistor and gate level, including alternatives to DML basic cells;Illustrates DML efficiency for a variety of VLSI applications.

Los dueños de internet: Cómo nos dominan los gigantes de la tecnología y qué hacer para cambiarlo
by Natalia ZuazoEste libro propone cambiar la lógica monopólica de internet y adueñarnos de nuestro propio modo de relacionarnos con la tecnología para vivir en un mundo más equitativo. En este preciso instante, la mitad de las personas están conectadas a Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple y Amazon. En los últimos años, las grandes plataformas tecnológicas se convirtieron en las empresas más ricas del planeta sin usar la violencia. Su poder se consolidó gracias a los millones de usuarios como nosotros que les confían su atención y sus datos a través de teléfonos móviles y algoritmos. Hoy internet es un club de cinco grandes monopolios que generan desigualdad. Un puñado de corporaciones domina el mundo como antes lo hicieron las potencias coloniales. ¿Cómo construyó Microsoft un imperio del conocimiento? ¿Cómo predice Google nuestros movimientos? ¿Cómo cimentó Facebook su poderío informativo? ¿Cómo maneja Uber el mundo de transporte? Pero sobre todo, ¿cómo podemos revertir esta situación? En este libro, la periodista especializada en tecnopolítica Natalia Zuazo se sumerge en el universo de estas grandes corporaciones para entender sus fines. Y cuenta otras historias donde la tecnología está siendo usada con otra lógica: la de una sociedad más equitativa. "Las grandes plataformas tecnológicas son los monopolios que hoy dominan el mundo. Unos pocos jugadores controlan la actividad en cada sector. Google lidera las búsquedas, la publicidad y el aprendizaje automatizado. Facebook, el mercado de las noticias y la información. Amazon dirige el comercio en gran parte de Occidente mientras avanza en generar y distribuir sus propios productos. Uber no sólo quiere intermediar y ganar dinero con cada viaje, sino que busca convertirse en la empresa que transporte los bienes del futuro, incluso sin necesidad de conductores. Con remera y un ejército de relacionistas públicos que difunden anuncios a favor de los más necesitados, hoy el Club de los Cinco ha conquistado el mundo como antes lo hicieron las grandes potencias. La diferencia es que en vez de construir palacios y grandes murallas, se instalan en oficinas abiertas y llenas de luz en Silicon Valley. Y en lugar de evangelizar con sacerdotes y predicadores, se nutren del capitalismo del like y de cada dato que cedemos de nuestra vida. Cien años después, vivimos un nuevo colonialismo."
Dumb Money
by Joey Anuff Gary WolfAs you read this, five million Americans are day-trading. Not since gold was discovered in California have more people dropped out of their old lives and come running for the promise of a big score. For a time, Joey Anuff was among them. He has emerged-enriched, enlightened, and exhausted-to share his story. In a marriage of Anuff's own experiences with the brilliant investigative work of his Wired and Suck colleague Gary Wolf, Dumb Money explores and explains the world of day-trading as has never been done before. No strategy is too crackpot to try, no news break too dubious to play off, no so-called guru too shady, no online chat room too pathetic. Using the rhythms of a day trader's typical day as its frame, Dumb Money is a dispatch from the front lines of the stock-market revolution, a brutally Darwinian battleground on which some become wildly rich and more become part of the body count. It is essential reading for online investors, off-line investors, voyeurs, concerned citizens, and adrenaline freaks alike.
The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future (or, Don't Trust Anyone Under #30)
by Mark BauerleinThis shocking, lively exposure of the intellectual vacuity of today's under thirty set reveals the disturbing and, ultimately, incontrovertible truth: cyberculture is turning us into a nation of know-nothings. Can a nation continue to enjoy political and economic predominance if its citizens refuse to grow up? For decades, concern has been brewing about the dumbed-down popular culture available to young people and the impact it has on their futures. At the dawn of the digital age, many believed they saw a hopeful answer: The Internet, e-mail, blogs, and interactive and hyper-realistic video games promised to yield a generation of sharper, more aware, and intellectually sophisticated children. The terms "information superhighway" and "knowledge economy" entered the lexicon, and we assumed that teens would use their knowledge and understanding of technology to set themselves apart as the vanguards of this new digital era. That was the promise. But the enlightenment didn't happen. The technology that was supposed to make young adults more astute, diversify their tastes, and improve their verbal skills has had the opposite effect. According to recent reports, most young people in the United States do not read literature, visit museums, or vote. They cannot explain basic scientific methods, recount basic American history, name their local political representatives, or locate Iraq or Israel on a map. The Dumbest Generationis a startling examination of the intellectual life of young adults and a timely warning of its consequences for American culture and democracy. Drawing upon exhaustive research, personal anecdotes, and historical and social analysis, Mark Bauerline presents an uncompromisingly realistic portrait of the young American mind at this critical juncture, and lays out a compelling vision of how we might address its deficiencies.

Dynamic Business Process Management in the Knowledge Economy: Creating Value from Intellectual Capital (Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems #71)
by Marek SzelągowskiThis book describes modern dynamic business process management (dynamic BPM), which is considerably different from traditional BPM from 20, 10, or even 5 years ago. It demonstrates why traditional BPM is not sufficient in the knowledge economy (KE), while also highlighting the opportunities provided by dynamic BPM – the form of management that practitioners and academics deal with on a daily basis. This involves mastering and implementing e.g. case management, process mining, and RPA, and integrating them with knowledge management. But more importantly, dynamic BPM makes full use of the dynamism of knowledge workers: the people who actually create innovative products and services tailored to the specific needs of clients. The book was primarily written for those managers who see advantageous opportunities amidst the ongoing changes. Accordingly, it focuses more on innovations emerging from practice than on theoretical, academic reflection. In addition to helping organizations operating in the KE to prepare for and implement process management, the book is intended as a source of inspiration for process management researchers and iBPMS system vendors.

Dynamic Decoupling of Robot Manipulators
by Vigen ArakelianThis book presents the latest results in the field of dynamic decoupling of robot manipulators obtained in France, Russia, China and Austria.Manipulator dynamics can be highly coupled and nonlinear. The complicated dynamics result from varying inertia, interactions between the different joints, and nonlinear forces such as Coriolis and centrifugal forces. The dynamic decoupling of robot manipulators allows one to obtain a linear system, i.e. single-input and single output system with constant parameters. This simplifies the optimal control and accumulation of energy in manipulators. There are two ways to create the dynamically decoupled manipulators: via optimal mechanical design or control.This work emphasises mechatronic solutions. These will certainly improve the known design concepts permitting the dynamic decoupling of serial manipulators with a relatively small increase in total mass of the moving links taking into account the changing payload. For the first time such an approach has been applied on serial manipulators. Also of great interest is the dynamic decoupling control of parallel manipulators. Firstly, the dynamic model of redundant multi-axial vibration table with load has been established, and, secondly, its dynamic coupling characteristics have been analyzed. The discussed methods and applications of dynamic decoupling of robot manipulators are illustrated via CAD simulations and experimental tests.

It tackles the central issues of e-business: the burgeoning market for "buy-side" extranet/Internet procurement and supply chain management/business-to-business, Web-based transactions.
Dynamic Formal Epistemology
by Olivier Roy Patrick Girard Mathieu MarionThis volume is a collation of original contributions from the key actors of a new trend in the contemporary theory of knowledge and belief, that we call "dynamic epistemology". It brings the works of these researchers under a single umbrella by highlighting the coherence of their current themes, and by establishing connections between topics that, up until now, have been investigated independently. It also illustrates how the new analytical toolbox unveils questions about the theory of knowledge, belief, preference, action, and rationality, in a number of central axes in dynamic epistemology: temporal, social, probabilistic and even deontic dynamics.
Dynamic Games for Network Security (Springerbriefs In Electrical And Computer Engineering)
by Xiaofan He Huaiyu DaiThe goal of this SpringerBrief is to collect and systematically present the state-of-the-art in this research field and the underlying game-theoretic and learning tools to the broader audience with general network security and engineering backgrounds. Particularly, the exposition of this book begins with a brief introduction of relevant background knowledge in Chapter 1, followed by a review of existing applications of SG in addressing various dynamic network security problems in Chapter 2. A detailed treatment of dynamic security games with information asymmetry is given in Chapters 3–5. Specifically, dynamic security games with extra information that concerns security competitions, where the defender has an informational advantage over the adversary are discussed in Chapter 3. The complementary scenarios where the defender lacks information about the adversary is examined in Chapter 4 through the lens of incomplete information SG. Chapter 5 is devoted to the exploration of how to proactively create information asymmetry for the defender’s benefit.The primary audience for this brief includes network engineers interested in security decision-making in dynamic network security problems. Researchers interested in the state-of-the-art research on stochastic game theory and its applications in network security will be interested in this SpringerBrief as well. Also graduate and undergraduate students interested in obtaining comprehensive information on stochastic game theory and applying it to address relevant research problems can use this SpringerBrief as a study guide. Lastly, concluding remarks and our perspective for future works are presented in Chapter 6.
