Persons — What Philosophers Say about You - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Can a person suffer radical change and still be the same person? Are there human beings who are not persons at all? Western philosophers, from the ancient Greeks to contemporary thinkers, gave the concept of “person” great importance in their discussions. They saw it as crucial to our understanding of our world and our place in it. Prompted by tragedy — a loved one’s descent into dementia — Warren Bourgeois explored Western philosophical ideas to discover what constitutes a “person.” The first edition of Persons — What Philosophers Say About You was the result of his search. This new second edition focuses on making this material easily available and accessible to students, and has been redesigned as an introduction to the philosophy of mind and its history, concentrating on the central concept of “person” in contemporary controversies concerning abortion, euthanasia, genetic engineering, and human rights. Bourgeois has mined Western philosophy for ideas students can apply today as technology challenges their beliefs about what we are. He then uses the concept of person to unite the various subdivisions of philosophy, applying theories of knowledge, reality and value to help students understand what we believe about ourselves. The result is a living philosophy and an “introductory text with a difference.” While the ideas of the great philosophers cannot be meaningfully summarized in one introductory text, this book provides a comparison of what many of them say about the concept of person, and will encourage students to read further.
Adaptive Control - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Adaptive control has been a remarkable field for industrial and academic research since1950s. Since more and more adaptive algorithms are applied in various control applications,it is considered as important for practical implementation. As it can be confirmed from theincreasing number of conferences and journals on adaptive control topics, it is certain thatthe adaptive control is a significant guidance for technology development.Also adaptive control has been believed as a breakthrough for realization of intelligentcontrol systems. Even with the parametric and model uncertainties, adaptive control enablesthe control system to monitor the time varying changes and manipulate the controller fordesired performance. Therefore adaptive control has been considered to be essential for timevarying multivariable systems. Moreover, now with the advent of high-speed microproces-sors, it is possible to implement the innovative adaptive algorithms even in real time situa-tion.With the efforts of many control researchers, the adaptive control field is abundant inmathematical analysis, programming tools, and implementational algorithms. The authorsof each chapter in this book are the professionals in their areas. The results in the bookintroduce their recent research results and provide new idea for improved performance invarious control application problems.The book is organized in the following way. There are 16 chapters discussing the issuesof adaptive control application to model generation, adaptive estimation, output regulationand feedback, electrical drives, optical communication, neural estimator, simulation andimplementation:Chapter One: Automatic 3D Model Generation based on a Matching of AdaptiveControl Points, by N. Lee, J. Lee, G. Kim, and H. ChoiChapter Two: Adaptive Estimation and Control for Systems with Parametric andNonparametric Uncertainties, by H. Ma and K. LumChapter Three: Adaptive Output Regulation of Unknown Linear Systems withUnknown Exosystems, by I. Mizumoto and Z. IwaiChapter Four: Output Feedback Direct Adaptive Control for a Two-Link FlexibleRobot Subject to Parameter Changes, by S. Ozcelik and E. MirandaChapter Five: Discrete Model Matching Adaptive Control for Potentially In-versely Non-Stable Continuous-Time Plants by Using Multirate Sampling, by S.Alonso-Quesada and M. De la SenChapter Six: Hybrid Schemes for Adaptive Control Strategies, by R. Ribeiro and K.Queiro
Seeing and Visualizing: It's Not What You Think - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: In Seeing and Visualizing, Zenon Pylyshyn argues that seeing is different from thinking and that to see is not, as it may seem intuitively, to create an inner replica of the world. Pylyshyn examines how we see and how we visualize and why the scientific account does not align with the way these processes seem to us "from the inside." In doing so, he addresses issues in vision science, cognitive psychology, philosophy of mind, and cognitive neuroscience.First, Pylyshyn argues that there is a core stage of vision independent from the influence of our prior beliefs and examines how vision can be intelligent and yet essentially knowledge-free. He then proposes that a mechanism within the vision module, called a visual index (or FINST), provides a direct preconceptual connection between parts of visual representations and things in the world, and he presents various experiments that illustrate the operation of this mechanism. He argues that such a deictic reference mechanism is needed to account for many properties of vision, including how mental images attain their apparent spatial character without themselves being laid out in space in our brains.The final section of the book examines the "picture theory" of mental imagery, including recent neuroscience evidence, and asks whether any current evidence speaks to the issue of the format of mental images. This analysis of mental imagery brings together many of the themes raised throughout the book and provides a framework for considering such issues as the distinction between the form and the content of representations, the role of vision in thought, and the relation between behavioral, neuroscientific, and phenomenological evidence regarding mental representations.

A Career in Modeling: You Don't Have to Be a Glamorous Supermodel - Opportunities Today for People of All Types and Looks - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: have portrayed women in a more human, more realistic light, though littleof this artwork survives.)Modeling in former times was not considered a respectable career.Traditionally, the artist’s model was a nobody. She may have come from alower-class background with little education and nothing to offer but heryouth and beauty. She was often the lover of the artist, who discarded herwhen she ceased to inspire him. Her career was short-lived, and she hadno champion to make sure she was paid well while she worked and hadplans for her post-modeling future.What a difference a few centuries make!Today, as anyone with access to television or magazines knows,supermodels are among the ultimate celebrities and role models. Thedesire to become one of these objects of desire is at a fever pitch, andcompetition to sustain success, once achieved, is intense.To be sure, the rewards are many and do include fame, fortune andfun. But modeling is an exceedingly risky business, and a great manycareers fizzle after just a few years.This report will help you determine if you have what it takes tobecome a model – and it’s not necessarily the physical perfection you mayhave imagined. Rebecca Gayheart and Kate Moss were both told that theywere too short to be models, but they prevailed by emphasizing theirunique assets and exhibiting enthusiasm and professionalism at all times.Furthermore, not all models slink down runways wearing jadedexpressions and outrageous costumes. As a recent advertising campaignfor The Body Shop put it, “There are 3 billion women who don’t look likesupermodels, and only eight who do.” This suggests there is opportunityfor a variety of people and types. Today, there’s room for plus-size, petites,men of all ages, people of color and various ethnic appearances, and“real” looking people in the business. If you’re 5’4" there’s no way you’regoing to be an haute couture runway model, but you could have a futurein other types of modeling.
Living Well with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia: What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You...That You Need to Know - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: From the author of Living Well With Hypothyroidism, a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia--vital help for the millions of people suffering from pain, fatigue, and sleep problems. Recent studies indicate that 3 to 6 million Americans suffer from fibromyalgia--a chronic disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points. This terrible condition is often accompanied by chronic fatigue syndrome, a persistent and debilitating sense of exhaustion that is estimated to affect 800,000 Americans--twice the number of people with multiple sclerosis. Yet there are no official blood tests of diagnostic procedures that can confirm that yes, you definitely have these conditions, and in fact, a whole segment of the medical world doesn't even believe these two diseases actually exist. In addition, the few books that are on the market tend to focus on single solutions or eschew conventional and pharmaceutical approaches, which could alienate readers who use conventional medicine in whole or part. In her trademark accessible, easy-to-follow style, patient advocate Mary J. Shomon integrates the latest findings regarding these misunderstood conditions. Highlighting the pros and cons of the antibiotic, metabolic/endocrine, hormonal, musculoskeletal, and many other approaches to treatment, Shomon explores the fads and viable alternatives--both conventional and alternative--and provides helpful, clear solutions to help sufferers of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. At various points since 1995, Mary J. Shomon has been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. Since then, she has transformed her health challenges into a mission as a nationally-known patient advocate. She has worked for more than 20 years in writing, advertising, public relations, and communications and is the founder and editor-in-chief of several thyroid, autoimmune, and nutrition newsletters, as well as the internet's most popular thyroid disease website, www.thyroid-info.com.
