AI by Design A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence

AI by Design A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence

This book introduces the reader to Artificial Intelligence and its importance to our future. Campbell uses behavioural psychology explores technology economics real-life and historical examples to predict five future scenarios with AI. Illustrating through speculative fiction she describes possible futures after AI exceeds human capabilities. We are at a tipping point in history and must plan to ensure a successful co-existence with artificial intelligence. This book explains how to design for a future with AI so that rather than herald our downfall it helps us achieve a new renaissance. | AI by Design A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence

Meaningful Futures with Robots Designing a New Coexistence

Meaningful Futures with Robots Designing a New Coexistence

Soon robots will leave the factories and make their way into living rooms supermarkets and care facilities. They will cooperate with humans in everyday life taking on more than just practical tasks. How should they communicate with us? Do they need eyes a screen or arms? Should they resemble humans? Or may they enrich social situations precisely because they act so differently from humans? Meaningful Futures with Robots: Designing a New Coexistence provides insight into the opportunities and risks that arise from living with robots in the future anchored in current research projects on everyday robotics. As well as generating ideas for robot developers and designers it also critically discusses existing theories and methods for social robotics from different perspectives - ethical design artistical and technological – and presents new approaches to meaningful human-robot interaction design. Key Features: Provides insights into current research on robots from different disciplinary angles with a particular focus on a value-driven design. Includes contributions from designers psychologists engineers philosophers artists and legal scholars among others.

Molecular and Cellular Biophysics

Molecular and Cellular Biophysics

From quantum theory to statistical mechanics the methodologies of physics are often used to explain some of life's most complex biological problems. Exploring this challenging yet fascinating area of study Molecular and Cellular Biophysics covers both molecular and cellular structures as well as the biophysical processes that occur in these structures. Designed for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in biophysics courses this textbook features a quantitative approach that avoids being too abstract in its presentation. Logically organized from small-scale (molecular) to large-scale (cellular) systems the text first defines life discussing the scientific controversies between mechanists and vitalists the characteristics of living things and the evolution of life. It then delves into molecular structures including nucleic acids DNA RNA interatomic interactions and hydrogen bonds. After looking at these smaller systems the author probes the larger cellular structures. He examines the cytoplasm the cytoskeleton chromosomes mitochondria motor proteins and more. The book concludes with discussions on biophysical processes including oxidative phosphorylation diffusion bioenergetics conformational transitions in proteins vesicle transport subcellular structure formation and cell division.

The Shape of Space

The Shape of Space

The Shape of Space Third Edition maintains the standard of excellence set by the previous editions. This lighthearted textbook covers the basic geometry and topology of two- and three-dimensional spaces—stretching students’ minds as they learn to visualize new possibilities for the shape of our universe. Written by a master expositor leading researcher in the field and MacArthur Fellow its informal exposition and engaging exercises appeal to an exceptionally broad audience from liberal arts students to math undergraduate and graduate students looking for a clear intuitive understanding to supplement more formal texts and even to laypeople seeking an entertaining self-study book to expand their understanding of space. Features of the Third Edition: Full-color figures throughout Picture proofs have replaced algebraic proofs Simpler handles-and-crosscaps approach to surfaces Updated discussion of cosmological applications Intuitive examples missing from many college and graduate school curricula About the Author: Jeffrey R. Weeks is a freelance geometer living in Canton New York. With support from the U. S. National Science Foundation the MacArthur Foundation and several science museums his work spans pure mathematics applications in cosmology and—closest to his heart—exposition for the general public.

Metabolomics Practical Guide to Design and Analysis

Metabolomics Practical Guide to Design and Analysis

Metabolomics is the scientific study of the chemical processes in a living system environment and nutrition. It is a relatively new omics science but the potential applications are wide including medicine personalized medicine and intervention studies food and nutrition plants agriculture and environmental science. The topics presented and discussed in this book are based on the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) practical courses in metabolomics bioinformatics taught to those working in the field from masters to postgraduate students PhDs postdoctoral and early PIs. The book covers the basics and fundamentals of data acquisition and analytical technologies but the primary focus is data handling and data analysis. The mentioning and usage of a particular data analysis tool has been avoided; rather the focus is on the concepts and principles of data processing and analysis. The material has been class-tested and includes lots of examples computing and exercises. Key Features:Provides an overview of qualitative /quantitative methods in metabolomicsOffers an introduction to the key concepts of metabolomics including experimental design and technologyCovers data handling processing analysis data standards and sharingContains lots of examples to illustrate the topicsIncludes contributions from some of the leading researchers in the field of metabolomics with extensive teaching experiences | Metabolomics Practical Guide to Design and Analysis

Data Visualization Charts Maps and Interactive Graphics

Data Visualization Charts Maps and Interactive Graphics

This is the age of data. There are more innovations and more opportunities for interesting work with data than ever before but there is also an overwhelming amount of quantitative information being published every day. Data visualisation has become big business because communication is the difference between success and failure no matter how clever the analysis may have been. The ability to visualize data is now a skill in demand across business government NGOs and academia. Data Visualization: Charts Maps and Interactive Graphics gives an overview of a wide range of techniques and challenges while staying accessible to anyone interested in working with and understanding data. Features: Focusses on concepts and ways of thinking about data rather than algebra or computer code. Features 17 short chapters that can be read in one sitting. Includes chapters on big data statistical and machine learning models visual perception high-dimensional data and maps and geographic data. Contains more than 125 visualizations most created by the author. Supported by a website with all code for creating the visualizations further reading datasets and practical advice on crafting the images. Whether you are a student considering a career in data science an analyst who wants to learn more about visualization or the manager of a team working with data this book will introduce you to a broad range of data visualization methods. Cover image: Landscape of Change uses data about sea level rise glacier volume decline increasing global temperatures and the increasing use of fossil fuels. These data lines compose a landscape shaped by the changing climate a world in which we are now living.
