Statistical Theory of Open Systems Volume 1 A Unified Approach to Kinetic Description of Processes in Active Systems


Free Download Statistical Theory of Open Systems: Volume 1: A Unified Approach to Kinetic Description of Processes in Active Systems By Yu. L. Klimontovich (auth.)
1995 | 569 Pages | ISBN: 0792332423 | PDF | 40 MB
Let us begin by quoting from the Preface to the author’s Statistical Physics (Moscow, Nauka 1982; also published in English by Harwood in 1986): ”’My God! Yet another book on statistical physics! There’s no room on my bookshelves left!’ Such emotionsare quite understandable. Beforejumping to conclusions, however, it would be worthwhile to read the Introduction and look through the table of contents. Then the reader will find that this book is totally different from the existing courses, fundamental and concise. … We do not use the conventional division into statistical theories ofequilibrium and nonequilibrium states. Rather than that, the theory ofnonequilibrium state is the basis and the backbone oftheentirecourse. … This approach allows us to develop a unified method for statistical description ofa very broadclassofsystems. … The author certainly does not wish to exaggerate the advantages of the book, considering it asjustthe first attemptto create a textbookofa new kind." The next step in this direction was the author’s Turbulent Motion and the Structure of Chaos (Moscow, Nauka 1990; Kluwer Academic ✅Publishers 1991). This book is subtitled A New Approach to the Statistical Theory of Open Systems. Naturally, the "new approach" is not meant to defy the consistent and efficient methods of the conventional statistical theory; itshould be regarded as auseful reinforcementofsuch methods.

Open-Set Text Recognition Concepts, Framework, and Algorithms (SpringerBriefs in Computer Science)


Free Download Open-Set Text Recognition: Concepts, Framework, and Algorithms (SpringerBriefs in Computer Science) by Xu-Cheng Yin, Chun Yang, Chang Liu
English | April 2, 2024 | ISBN: 9819703603 | 134 pages | MOBI | 9.68 Mb
In real-world applications, new data, patterns, and categories that were not covered by the training data can frequently emerge, necessitating the capability to detect and adapt to novel characters incrementally. Researchers refer to these challenges as the Open-Set Text Recognition (OSTR) task, which has, in recent years, emerged as one of the prominent issues in the field of text recognition. This book begins by providing an introduction to the background of the OSTR task, covering essential aspects such as open-set identification and recognition, conventional OCR methods, and their applications. Subsequently, the concept and definition of the OSTR task are presented encompassing its objectives, use cases, performance metrics, datasets, and protocols. A general framework for OSTR is then detailed, composed of four key components: The Aligned Represented Space, the Label-to-Representation Mapping, the Sample-to-Representation Mapping, and the Open-set Predictor. In addition,possible implementations of each module within the framework are discussed. Following this, two specific open-set text recognition methods, OSOCR and OpenCCD, are introduced. The book concludes by delving into applications and future directions of Open-set text recognition tasks.This book presents a comprehensive overview of the open-set text recognition task, including concepts, framework, and algorithms. It is suitable for graduated students and young researchers who are majoring in pattern recognition and computer science, especially interdisciplinary research.

English | November 4, 2024 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0DLX2NQC5 | 63 pages | EPUB | 1.10 Mb
Understanding mindfulness in investment involves cultivating a heightened awareness of both external opportunities and internal thought processes. Mindfulness encourages investors to remain present and engaged, enabling them to identify potential investments that may otherwise go unnoticed. This approach requires a shift from reactive thinking-where decisions are made based on fear or excitement-to a more deliberate and reflective mindset. By practicing mindfulness, investors can focus on the current market landscape, assess their emotional responses to market fluctuations, and make informed decisions based on a comprehensive understanding of their investment environment.
