The sophisticated group behavior of social insects, the unexpected intricacies of the genome, the dynamics of population growth, and the self-organized structure of the World Wide Web - these are just a few examples of complex systems that still elude scientific u... (展开全部) 作者简介 ··...
The biblical characters stand as examples of how certain problems are dealt with in the biblical literature, and, to the modern reader, they might stand as an example of how real life is as well.doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/156853374X00198Saxegaard...
Examples of near-term problems and major unknowns that can be approached through complexity and systems science include: The structure, history and future of the universe; the biological basis of consciousness; the integration of genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics as systems biology; human ...
Machines capable of automatic pattern recognition have many fascinating uses in science and engineering as well as in our daily lives. Algorithms for supervised classification, where one infers a decision boundary from a set of training examples, are at the core of this capability. Tremendous progres...
Another context in which ill-conditioning arises is the lack of independent learning examples. The case of a linear machine offers an example of such a problem, which is clearly expressed by Eq. (3.4.87). It is not only the case in which det(Xˆ′Xˆ)=0 that creates problems ...
(prostate, breast, and lung cancer) tend to occur in old age, and hunter gatherers didn’t tend to live long, nor smoke. Buthere’sone of the earliest examples I could find, a remarkable, but sad case, of an bronze age, hunter gatherer, adult male with a large number of bone ...

Gives practical examples from a wide variety of disciplines, e.g., climatology, ecology, hydrology, geomorphology and engineering. This book is suitable for 2nd/3rd year undergraduates taking courses in Environmental Modelling in Departments of Geography, Environmental Science, Civil Engineering and ...
book, a draft of all the book’s chapters, and links to other online resources covering related topics. Throughout the book we explain the context in which a certain notion is useful, and why things are defined in a certain way. We also illustrate key definitions with examples. ...
