Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Can machines think This troubling question, posed by Alan Turing in 1950, has perhaps been answered: today we can converse with a computer without being able to distinguish it from a person.Machines can pass university exams and pro…gram other computers. ChatGPT, Bard, and other 'language models' have proved proficient at performing tasks far beyond their creators' initial expectations, and we still do not know why. Trained simply to predict missing words in a text, such models have gained an understanding of the world and language that makes them capable of reasoning, planning, solving problems, as well as conversing almost flawlessly. Is this the secret of knowledge, and is it now in the hands of our creations Perhaps we are no longer alone. And as we try to figure out how to share these powers with the 'aliens' who now work at our side, we can wonder what else they may learn tomorrow. Are we approaching a critical threshold beyond which machines will attain superhuman performance Following on from The Shortcut, Nello Cristianini has authored another brilliant book - written like a gripping thriller - explaining the ideas behind a technology destined to change the world. If our worst terror has always stemmed from fear of the unknown, the cure, since time immemorial, is knowledge. 164 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In 2007, Estonia faced a series of cyberattacks on its cyber infrastructure, which caused widespread damage to the country's economy, politics, and security. However, despite this series of cyberattacks, the North Atlantic Treaty Or…ganization (NATO) did not apply Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty due to lack of consensus on applying Article 5 in the Estonian case. Although various approaches have been developed by scholars, there is no common application of international law in the United Nations Charter regarding cyber threats or attacks. Moreover, while there has been no common definition of 'cyber terrorism' by the international community, some scholars regard 'cyberattacks' as acts of war. There is a paucity of literature dealing with the application of international law on cyber threats. A new Strategic Concept was adopted in 2010. Its most important development was to identify the significance of cyber threats to all NATO member bodies.When updating its own technology, the organization needs to be ready to defend itself against all kinds of asymmetrical warfare, whether from within or beyond its operational range. However, the terms of Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty were imprecise as to whether cyberattacks can be regarded as a form of threat; for this reason, NATO accepted the case by case concept on cyber threats/attacks in terms of the application of Article 5 by the Wales Summit in 2014. Despite the fact that the Charter of the United Nations has not been revised, if its articles are broadly evaluated, cyberattacks would be accepted as a threat or use of force against the territorial integrity of a state.The main purpose of this book is to analyze and evaluate what has been carried out regarding NATO's operational arrangements and its cyber defense approach and, secondly, to explain this through the lens of Game Theory. Furthermore, it will demonstrate why the web is paramount to NATO's system driven operations, and why it requires a cyber defense arrangement. In particular, the research presented here will analyze Türkiye in this regard. The cyberattack on Estonia in 2007 will be used by way of a case study to explain the development of threat perceptions, risks, international law, cybersecurity policies and application of Game Theory. 204 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Classical Electrodynamics captures Schwinger's inimitable lecturing style, in which everything flows inexorably from what has gone before. This anniversary edition offers a refreshing update while still maintaining Schwinger's voice….The book provides the student with a thorough grounding in electrodynamics in particular, and in classical field theory in general. An essential resource for both physicists and their students, the book includes a Reader's Guide, which describes the major themes in each chapter, suggests a possible path through the book, and identifies topics for inclusion in, and exclusion from, a given course, depending on the instructor's preference.Carefully constructed problems complement the material of the text. Classical Electrodynamics should be of great value to all physicists, from first-year graduate students to senior researchers, and to all those interested in electrodynamics, field theory, and mathematical physics.The original text for the graduate classical electrodynamics course was left unfinished upon Julian Schwinger's death in 1994, but was completed by his former students and co-authors, who have brilliantly recreated the excitement of Schwinger's novel approach. This anniversary edition has been revised by one of those original co-authors, Kimball Milton. 572 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Universe, Human Species, Reality: A Physicalist Approach describes the functioning of the material universe with the use of intermediate mathematical language. The book uses a physicalist approach in the sense that it is based entirely on…physical phenomena and on reality, and does not use philosophical or theological argumentation based on abstract reasoning not anchored in physical observations.Using these observations, the book develops the argument that the principle of least action plays a most important role in the functioning of the universe. Furthermore, if we extend our study, we may find an answer to some questions that have not been answered yet. As examples, we may mention a few of those, such as, the exact nature of the Big Bang, the essence of life, and the nature of the intellect-brain gap.This book should be of interest to undergraduate students in physics and biology, and to the general science reader.Key Features Addresses our understanding of the complete basic physics of the universeUses a physicalist approach, rather than a philosophical and theological approach, in studying the nature of the universeGives a rather unique conclusion relative to the functioning of the universe including Homo sapiens 300 pp. Englisch.
