The Cellular Automaton Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
by Gerard 'T HooftThis book presents the deterministic view of quantum mechanics developed by Nobel Laureate Gerard 't Hooft. Dissatisfied with the uncomfortable gaps in the way conventional quantum mechanics meshes with the classical world, 't Hooft has revived the old hidden variable ideas, but now in a much more systematic way than usual. In this, quantum mechanics is viewed as a tool rather than a theory. The author gives examples of models that are classical in essence, but can be analysed by the use of quantum techniques, and argues that even the Standard Model, together with gravitational interactions, might be viewed as a quantum mechanical approach to analysing a system that could be classical at its core. He shows how this approach, even though it is based on hidden variables, can be plausibly reconciled with Bell's theorem, and how the usual objections voiced against the idea of 'superdeterminism' can be overcome, at least in principle. This framework elegantly explains - and automatically cures - the problems of the wave function collapse and the measurement problem. Even the existence of an "arrow of time" can perhaps be explained in a more elegant way than usual. As well as reviewing the author's earlier work in the field, the book also contains many new observations and calculations. It provides stimulating reading for all physicists working on the foundations of quantum theory.

by Sabine Dormann Andreas DeutschThis text explores the use of cellular automata in modeling pattern formation in biological systems. It describes several mathematical modeling approaches utilizing cellular automata that can be used to study the dynamics of interacting cell systems both in simulation and in practice. New in this edition are chapters covering cell migration, tissue development, and cancer dynamics, as well as updated references and new research topic suggestions that reflect the rapid development of the field.The book begins with an introduction to pattern-forming principles in biology and the various mathematical modeling techniques that can be used to analyze them. Cellular automaton models are then discussed in detail for different types of cellular processes and interactions, including random movement, cell migration, adhesive cell interaction, alignment and cellular swarming, growth processes, pigment cell pattern formation, tissue development, tumor growth and invasion, and Turing-type patterns and excitable media. In the final chapter, the authors critically discuss possibilities and limitations of the cellular automaton approach in modeling various biological applications, along with future research directions. Suggestions for research projects are provided throughout the book to encourage additional engagement with the material, and an accompanying simulator is available for readers to perform their own simulations on several of the models covered in the text. QR codes are included within the text for easy access to the simulator.With its accessible presentation and interdisciplinary approach, Cellular Automaton Modeling of Biological Pattern Formation is suitable for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in mathematical biology, biological modeling, and biological computing.

Cellular Network Planning (River Publishers Series In Communications Ser.)
by Marcelo Sampaio Alencar Djalma de Melo Carvalho FilhoOver the recent years, few books have been published covering all the subjects needed to understand the very fundamental concepts of cell planning. Most books which deal with this topic are destined to very specific audiences, and the vast majority introduce the subject at a very basic, or technical, level, or are destined to an academic audience. Cellular Network Planning begins with an introduction to the subject, covering conventional and contemporary wireless systems. Spectral allocation and the frequency plan are discussed, along with the essential characteristics of wireless systems. The design of mobile cellular systems includes cell planning, traffic and channel problems. The book presents a review of existing models, considering both green field dimensioning and network expansion strategies, and discusses multi-objective optimization and base station deployment based on artificial immune systems. It also discusses a cost-effective base station deployment approach based on artificial immune systems, and introduces the modified MO-AIS algorithm.

La censura horizontal: Un nuevo tribunal digital
by Javier Horacio Contreras Orozco«Javier Contreras ha escrito un libro excepcional y necesario en estos tiempos de tecnologización de la vida pública.» Ignacio Solares Hoy en día las redes sociales son mucho más que simples herramientas de entretenimiento, información y socialización: una parte de nuestras vidas transcurre dentro de ellas. Han ampliado nuestra capacidad de comunicación de forma inaudita, le han dado voz a personas que antes no la tenían y, sobre todo, permiten que la información fluya con una velocidad y en volúmenes sorprendentes. Sin embargo, estas características no han hecho de las redes sociales los espacios de diálogo y tolerancia que esperábamos de ellas. Por el contrario, con frecuencia las hemos visto convertirse en la gran hoguera del siglo xxi. En este libro, Javier Horacio Contreras Orozco analiza las condiciones y procesos que han llevado a las redes sociales a constituirse en un jurado universal que ejerce un nuevo tipo de censura: la poscensura o censura horizontal. A diferencia de la censura tradicional, que provenía de los gobiernos o de poderosos intereses privados, la censura horizontal es un sistema de vigilancia y silenciamiento entre pares. Un tribunal sin juez o, mejor dicho, en el que todos son jueces, pero en el que también todos pueden ocupar el banquillo de los acusados de un momento a otro. Al excluir a una gran cantidad de voces del debate público, la censura horizontal contribuye a la pandemia de desinformación que caracteriza nuestros días. Es uno más, como advierte Contreras Orozco, de los síntomas de la era de la posverdad.
