El presente volumen muestra una mirada reflexiva alrededor de la transformación sufrida en la sociedad actual. Una transformación que alberga en su origen a la comunicación, vista y entendida en su más amplio sentido; dicha comunicación sirve como conector en los diversos planos de este profundo cambio. Los autores de este libro buscan analizar las formas de comunicación derivadas de la evolución acaecida; teniendo en cuenta para ello, los avances tecnológicos que han producido nuevos retos, la adaptación del individuo a las nuevas reglas comunicativas y sociales, la intervención de actores en el ámbito comunicativo que no existían tradicionalmente o la transmutación en las representaciones sociales dentro de los propios medios.
Technical problems require technical solutions that are innovative, simple, cheap, robust and easy to maintain. This book lists 100 winning inventions in the first International Inventors Award competition, organized in Stockholm.
Since the Mexican government initiated a military offensive against its country’s powerful drug cartels in December 2006, some 50,000 people have perished and the drugs continue to flow. In The Fire Next Door, Ted Galen Carpenter boldly conveys the growing horror overtaking Mexico and makes the case that the only effective strategy for the United States is to abandon its failed drug prohibition policy, thus depriving drug cartels of financial resources.
The two-volume set LNAI 13612 and 13613 constitutes the proceedings of the 21st Mexican International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, MICAI 2022, held in Monterrey, Mexico, in October 2022. The total of 63 papers presented in these two volumes was carefully reviewed and selected from 137 submissions. The first volume, Advances in Computational Intelligence, contains 34 papers structured into three sections: Machine and Deep Learning Image Processing and Pattern Recognition Evolutionary and Metaheuristic Algorithms The second volume contains 29 papers structured into two sections: Natural Language Processing Intelligent Applications and Robotics
This book describes new methods for building intelligent systems using type-2 fuzzy logic and soft computing (SC) techniques. The authors extend the use of fuzzy logic to a higher order, which is called type-2 fuzzy logic. Combining type-2 fuzzy logic with traditional SC techniques, we can build powerful hybrid intelligent systems that can use the advantages that each technique offers. This book is intended to be a major reference tool and can be used as a textbook.
On the surface, it seems like teaching about games should be easy. After all, students are highly motivated, enjoy engaging with course content, and have extensive personal experience with videogames. However, games education can be surprisingly complex.
This book describes the latest advances in fuzzy logic, neural networks and optimization algorithms, as well as their hybrid combinations, and their applications in areas such as: intelligent control and robotics, pattern recognition, medical diagnosis, time series prediction, and optimization of complex problems. The book is divided into five main parts. The first part proposes new concepts and algorithms based on type-1 and type-2 fuzzy logic and their applications; the second explores new concepts and algorithms in neural networks and fuzzy logic applied to recognition. The third part examines the theory and practice of meta-heuristics in various areas of application, while the fourth highlights diverse applications of fuzzy logic, neural networks and hybrid intelligent systems in medical contexts. Finally, the fifth part focuses on applications of fuzzy logic, neural networks and meta-heuristics to robotics problems.
In this study of environmental risks in ten of the world's major cities, the contributors examine the hazard experiences of and analyze the future risks. They conclude that the natural disaster potential of the biggest cities is expanding at a pace which exceeds the rate of urbanization.
In the dynamic tradition of the BreakBeat Poets anthology, The BreakBeat Poets Vol. 4: LatiNEXT celebrates the embodied narratives of Latinidad. Poets speak from an array of nationalities, genders, sexualities, races, and writing styles, staking a claim to our cultural and civic space. Like Hip-Hop, we honor what was, what is, and what's next.
