Free Download Robert Kane, "The Complex Tapestry of Free Will: A Philosophical Odyssey"
English | ISBN: 0197751407 | 2024 | 376 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Robert Kane is one of the most prominent contributors to debates on free will over the last 50 years. Here he discusses the evolution of his views since his 1996 volume The Significance of Free Will, and provides responses to some of the latest critical literature on them. He explains significant changes to his views on free will and related notions of moral responsibility, agency, and other related topics.

Free Download Complex adaptive innovation systems: relatedness and transversality in the evolving region By Philip Cooke
2012 | 272 Pages | ISBN: 0415603757 | EPUB | 16 MB
Leading up to the financial crisis of 2008 and onwards, the shortcomings of traditional models of regional economic and environmental development had become increasingly evident. Rooted in the idea that ‘policy’ is an encumbrance to free markets, the stress on supply-side smoothing measures such as clusters and an over reliance on venture capital, the inadequacy of existing orthodoxies has come to be replaced by the notion of transversality.This approach has three strong characteristics that differentiate it from its failing predecessor. First, as the name implies, it seeks to finesse horizontal knowledge interactions as well as vertical ones, thus building ‘platforms’ of industrial interaction. Secondly, it is not a supply, but a demand side model in which needs-driven innovation rather than pure market competition prevails. Finally, it is ongoing through recessionary times, being more robust than over-specialized approaches to economic growth.The intellectual origins of transversality lie in an aspiration to promote eco-innovation, one of the key hopes of assisting Western regional and national economies to re-balance and escape recession. The policy models of key regional exponents of the concept are explored and their goals achievement is assessed. An array of policy instruments and measures is presented for hands-on policy implementation. The book will be of vital interest to academics as teachers and researchers as well as policy advisers and public servants.

Free Download Complex Population Dynamics: A Theoretical/Empirical Synthesis By Peter Turchin
2003 | 456 Pages | ISBN: 0691090203 | PDF | 4 MB
Why do organisms become extremely abundant one year and then seem to disappear a few years later? Why do population outbreaks in particular species happen more or less regularly in certain locations, but only irregularly (or never at all) in other locations? Complex population dynamics have fascinated biologists for decades. By bringing together mathematical models, statistical analyses, and field experiments, this book offers a comprehensive new synthesis of the theory of population oscillations.Peter Turchin first reviews the conceptual tools that ecologists use to investigate population oscillations, introducing population modeling and the statistical analysis of time series data. He then provides an in-depth discussion of several case studies–including the larch budmoth, southern pine beetle, red grouse, voles and lemmings, snowshoe hare, and ungulates–to develop a new analysis of the mechanisms that drive population oscillations in nature. Through such work, the author argues, ecologists can develop general laws of population dynamics that will help turn ecology into a truly quantitative and predictive science.Complex Population Dynamics integrates theoretical and empirical studies into a major new synthesis of current knowledge about population dynamics. It is also a pioneering work that sets the course for ecology’s future as a predictive science.

Free Download Steel Informatics: Analysing Data of a Complex Materials System
English | 2025 | ISBN: 036756923X | 219 Pages | PDF (True) | 17.5 MB
Steel Informatics aims to review the application of data-driven computing techniques related to the design of steel, including phase transformation, composition-process-property correlation, and different processing techniques, particularly deformation and joining. This book initiates with fundamentals of informatics followed by a description of applications of statistical analyses in defining the different attributes of steel. The proceeding chapters of this book cover recent applications of statistical, machine learning, expert systems, and optimization algorithms in the domains of iron and steel making, casting, deformation, phase transformation and heat treatment, microstructure analysis, and design of steel.

Free Download Complex Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) with Newer Approaches in Bladder Dissection
English | 2024 | ISBN: 9819732255 | 256 Pages | PDF (True) | 80 MB
This book delves into total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH), covering a range of intricate situations like multiple previous surgeries, severe endometriosis, frozen pelvis, large masses, and multidisciplinary surgeries. It specifically emphasizes on the posterior approach and the comprehensive canopy concept for dissecting densely adherent bladder in TLH. Each chapter provides numerous high definition, 4K, surgical snapshots in an easy-to-understand language, aiming to simplify surgical techniques. Most chapters have been provided with procedural videos to further enhance the clarity, thus making complex TLH safer, simpler, and more accessible to surgeons.

Free Download Symmetry Measures on Complex Networks by Angel Garrido
English | PDF | 2017 | 510 Pages | ISBN : 3038424986 | 123.78 MB
Symmetry is found everywhere, to a greater or lesser degree. It is essential in all sciences and also as the basic substrate in all arts. The same happens with Complex Networks, which are the majority of all those that interest for advanced knowledge, that is, for research. That is why these two themes have been unified here, whose intersection we are dealing with: in its first part, of fundamentals, and in its second part of applications, which are multiple in the world today.

Free Download Problems and Solutions for Complex Analysis by Rami Shakarchi
English | PDF | 1999 | 256 Pages | ISBN : 0387988319 | 27.6 MB
This book contains all the exercises and solutions of Serge Lang’s Complex Analy sis. Chapters I through VITI of Lang’s book contain the material of an introductory course at the undergraduate level and the reader will find exercises in all of the fol lowing topics: power series, Cauchy’s theorem, Laurent series, singularities and meromorphic functions, the calculus of residues, conformal mappings and har monic functions. Chapters IX through XVI, which are suitable for a more advanced course at the graduate level, offer exercises in the following subjects: Schwarz re flection, analytic continuation, Jensen’s formula, the Phragmen-LindelOf theorem, entire functions, Weierstrass products and meromorphic functions, the Gamma function and the Zeta function. This solutions manual offers a large number of worked out exercises of varying difficulty. I thank Serge Lang for teaching me complex analysis with so much enthusiasm and passion, and for giving me the opportunity to work on this answer book. Without his patience and help, this project would be far from complete. I thank my brother Karim for always being an infinite source of inspiration and wisdom. Finally, I want to thank Mark McKee for his help on some problems and Jennifer Baltzell for the many years of support, friendship and complicity.
