Hard Facts About Soft Machines

Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
Although work furniture has had so much more attention recently there is a long way to go before this is translated into action in the wider world. Increased international concern for the health and safety of people at work is one of the driving forces behind this book.; The Science of Seating brings together researchers in ergonomics and posture with industrial designers, to review and assess the current state of chair design, with implications for cultural, behavioural and occupational aspects of health. The contributions are a significant step in the science of seating and should lead to a better understanding of the mechanics, dynamics and the effects of seating on the sitter.; They point to ways in which seats might become easier-to-use and adjust, offering both comfort and postural support without compromising freedom of movement: and in the not-too-distant furture, "the intelligent chair" will "remember" the sitter's preferences for position, cushiness and so on.; Topics covered include: Adjustability, Anthropometics, Posture, Back Pain, Biomechanics, Seat Pressure Distributions, School children, Special Needs of Users, Design Applications, Industry Perspectives, VDT Standards.; It is aimed at researchers and practising seating designers, ergonomists, design engineers, occupational health workers and physiotherapists and furniture manufacturers.
Foundations of Decision-Making Agents
Author: Subrata Kumar DasPublisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9812779841
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
This self-contained book provides three fundamental and generic approaches (logical, probabilistic, and modal) to representing and reasoning with agent epistemic states, specifically in the context of decision making. Each of these approaches can be applied to the construction of intelligent software agents for making decisions, thereby creating computational foundations for decision-making agents. In addition, the book introduces a formal integration of the three approaches into a single unified approach that combines the advantages of all the approaches. Finally, the symbolic argumentation approach to decision making developed in this book, combining logic and probability, offers several advantages over the traditional approach to decision making which is based on simple rule-based expert systems or expected utility theory. Sample Chapter(s). Chapter 1: Modeling Agent Epistemic States: An Informal Overview (202 KB). Contents: Modeling Agent Epistemic States: An Informal Overview; Mathematical Preliminaries; Classical Logics for the Propositional Epistemic Model; Logic Programming; Logical Rules for Making Decisions; Bayesian Belief Networks; Influence Diagrams for Making Decisions; Modal Logics for the Possible World Epistemic Model; Symbolic Argumentation for Decision Making. Readership: Undergraduates and graduates majoring in artificial intelligence, computer professionals and researchers from the decision science community.
Landing Votes
Author: N. LappPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 1403976813
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
Landing Votes explores the conditions under which democratic Latin American governments address persistent political and economic inequities. The book points out a surprising 'coincidence': nearly every extension of suffrage to the rural poor occurred at the same time as land reform. Politicians did not merely react to peasants' demands; rather, they sought political power by extending the right to vote while redistributing land. The book concludes that party institutionalization enhanced the prospects for reforms by holding politicians accountable. More significant reforms occurred which benefited more of the rural poor where institutionalized parties competed for their votes.
