Radiolaria are a very diverse marine siliceous microplankton group that have existed at least snice the Cambrian to the recent. This volume gives a representative view of research topics discussed at the 10th International Meeting of Radiolarian Palaeontologists. The articles of this volume cover mainly radiolarian biochronology and radiolarian fauna changes.

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Theorem Proving with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods, TABLEAU '95, held at Schloß Rheinfels, St. Goar, Germany in May 1995. Originally tableau calculi and their relatives were favored primarily as a pedagogical device because of their advantages at the presentation level. The 23 full revised papers in this book bear witness that these methods have now gained fundamental importance in theorem proving, particularly as competitors for resolution methods. The book is organized in sections on extensions, modal logic, intuitionistic logic, the connection method and model elimination, non-clausal proof procedures, linear logic, higher-order logic, and applications

In diesem Band geht es um Fremdenhass bis hin zu Rassismus und um das martialische Auftreten der Polizei – so auch im Kanton Bern. Auch hier ist die Spürnase von Philippe gefragt und gemeinsam mit dem Randständigen Serge kommen die beiden der Täterschaft auf die Spur. Erinnerungen führen Philippe im Weiteren nach Arcachon im Westen Frankreichs. Dort holt ihn die Realität wieder ein und gemeinsam mit "Louis Canal" – andere nennen ihn auch "Louis die Kanaille" oder den Schurken von Toulon - kommen sie der Täterschaft auf die Spur. Begleitet wird die ganze Story abermals von der Beziehung / Freundschaft der Ehepaare Baumann und Picard mitsamt ihren Hunden.

Bern ... aus einer anderen Sicht

Few developments in the intellectual life of the past quarter-century have provoked more controversy than the attempt to engineer human-like intelligence by artificial means. Born of computer science, this effort has sparked a continuing debate among the psychologists, neuroscientists, philosophers,and linguists who have pioneered--and criticized--artificial intelligence. Are there general principles, as some computer scientists had originally hoped, that would fully describe the activity of both animal and machine minds, just as aerodynamics accounts for the flight of birds and airplanes? In the twenty substantial interviews published here, leading researchers address this and other vexing questions in the field of cognitive science. The interviewees include Patricia Smith Churchland (Take It Apart and See How It Runs), Paul M. Churchland (Neural Networks and Commonsense), Aaron V. Cicourel (Cognition and Cultural Belief), Daniel C. Dennett (In Defense of AI), Hubert L. Dreyfus (Cognitivism Abandoned), Jerry A. Fodor (The Folly of Simulation), John Haugeland (Farewell to GOFAI?), George Lakoff (Embodied Minds and Meanings), James L. McClelland (Toward a Pragmatic Connectionism), Allen Newell (The Serial Imperative), Stephen E. Palmer (Gestalt Psychology Redux), Hilary Putnam (Against the New Associationism), David E. Rumelhart (From Searching to Seeing), John R. Searle (Ontology Is the Question), Terrence J. Sejnowski (The Hardware Really Matters), Herbert A. Simon (Technology Is Not the Problem), Joseph Weizenbaum (The Myth of the Last Metaphor), Robert Wilensky (Why Play the Philosophy Game?), Terry A.Winograd (Computers and Social Values), and Lotfi A. Zadeh (The Albatross of Classical Logic). Speaking Minds can complement more traditional textbooks but can also stand alone as an introduction to the field. Originally published in 1995. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Speaking Minds

Getting started with Django is easy. There are tutorials and books that literally walk you through the process of getting your first site up and running. Taking that code from your laptop to the real world is like opening pandora's box. Should I use Apache, Gunicorn, uWSGI or something else? Where should I use caching to make things faster? How do I know if my database has the right indexes or if it needs more resources? Do I need a NoSQL database like MongoDB? The site runs great on my laptop. Why is it so slow in production? How many servers does my site need? How big should they be? What is the 20% effort that will solve 80% of my performance problems? If you've asked yourself any of these questions, you're like most Django developers. Heck, we were asking some of the same questions when we started working with Django 7 years ago at Lincoln Loop. Since then we've built, deployed, and maintained a lot of Django sites. Everything from realtime applications to large-scale CMSes with tons of traffic. Quite frankly, we made a lot of mistakes, but we learned a lot too. High Performance Django is the book we wish we had when we got started. It will give you a repeatable blueprint for building and deploying fast, scalable Django sites. More information and ebook formats available at https://highperformancedjango.com.

The dictionary lists the general vocabulary - nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives - which occurs in practically all technical texts. This vocabulary should be mastered by all those who actively or passively work with technical texts since it provides the structures into which the technical terms of various fields of technology are embedded. The keywords are provided with numerous model sentences illustrating their usage and offering the user a variety of suggestions for his / her own formulations.
