Free Download Richard J. Connell, "From Observables to Unobservables in Science and Philosophy"
English | 2000 | ISBN: 0761816631, 076181664X | PDF | pages: 248 | 8.9 mb
From Observables to Unobservables in Science and Philosophy focuses on knowing unobservable real things or attributes by means of observing real things or attributes, a topic central to twentieth-century scientific philosophy. Engaging both current and perennial issues in metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of nature and of science, Connell writes from a realist perspective. He adds a cogent, well written, and much needed voice to the current debate over foundationalism from the perspective of the undersubscribed quarter of empirical realism. Principal audiences for this volume will be scholars and graduate students in philosophy, working in the Aristotelian tradition.

From Azaleas to Zydeco My 4,600-Mile Journey through the South


Free Download Mark W. Nichols, "From Azaleas to Zydeco: My 4,600-Mile Journey through the South"
English | ISBN: 1935106651 | 2014 | 446 pages | EPUB | 17 MB
Inspired by a 1937 map and travelogue of a newspaperman’s tour, author Mark W. Nichols embarked on his own long journey into the unique cities of the South. En route he met beekeepers, cheese makers, crawfish "bawlers," duck callers, and a licensed alligator hunter, as well as entrepreneurs and governors. His keen observations encompass the southern states from Virginia to Arkansas and points south, and he unpacks the unique qualities of every city he visits. "It’s easy to say that getting to meet so many interesting and wonderful people was the best part of the journey-because it’s true," Nichols writes. "I know there are friendly people everywhere, but southern friendliness is different." His story embraces a wealth of southern charm from local characters, folklore, and customs to food, music, and dancing. Besides being just plain fun to read, Nichols’s account of his journey gives readers a true taste of the flavor of the evolving modern South.

Shape from Positional-Contrast Characterising Sketches with Qualitative Line Arrangements


Free Download Shape from Positional-Contrast: Characterising Sketches with Qualitative Line Arrangements By Björn Gottfried (auth.)
2007 | 214 Pages | ISBN: 3835060708 | PDF | 2 MB
Graphical queries for the purpose of searching for pictorial information are of growing interest in areas where pictures provide valuable information, including, for instance, design, architecture, and engineering. Sketching graphical queries is a natural way of revealing the visual appearance of objects one has in mind. Björn Gottfried develops computationally effective concepts for dealing with shape, in particular imprecise and incomplete sketched shapes. He exemplarily applies his method using graphical queries to search for historical objects. Specifying objects graphically, he shows that the new method is in fact capable of dealing with imprecise sketches. Generally speaking, the notion of positional-contrast is introduced. It defines how patterns can be robustly dealt with. That is, the new representation distinguishes patterns by how they relate with regard to spatial relations. This notion can be applied for several purposes, including pattern recognition, motion analysis, and texture analysis.

Rethinking Knowledge Management From Knowledge Objects to Knowledge Processes


Free Download Rethinking Knowledge Management: From Knowledge Objects to Knowledge Processes By Mark Aakhus (auth.), Claire R. McInerney, Ronald E. Day (eds.)
2007 | 359 Pages | ISBN: 3540710108 | PDF | 4 MB
Rethinking Knowledge Management: From Knowledge Objects to Knowledge Processes readdresses fundamental issues in knowledge management, leading to a new area of study: knowledge processes. These integrate research across a variety of fields, thus reasserting the fundamental insights of knowledge management in organizations and societies. Knowledge processes go far beyond traditional information acquisition and processing by stressing the importance and creative potential of human expression, communication, and learning for successful economic planning and meaningful personal and social existence.McInerney’s and Day’s superb authors from various disciplines offer new and exciting views on knowledge acquisition, generation, sharing and management in a post-industrial environment. Their contributions discuss problems of knowledge acquisition, handling, and learning from a variety of perspectives. Rather than the traditional notion of stores of knowledge that we hold in our mind, the view presented in this book is that of a constantly changing notion of what we know, of feelings related to that knowledge, and of a more holistic understanding of the act of knowing.
