A Text book Of General Knowledge

Democracy has many attractive features. Among them is its tendency to track the truth, at least under certain idealized assumptions. That basic result has been known since 1785, when Condorcet published his famous jury theorem. But that theorem has typically been dismissed as little more than a mathematical curiosity, with assumptions too restrictive for it to apply to the real world. In An Epistemic Theory of Democracy, Goodin and Spiekermann propose different ways of interpreting voter independence and competence to make jury theorems more generally applicable. They go on to assess a wide range of familiar political practices and alternative institutional arrangements, to determine what constellation of them might most fully exploit the truth-tracking potential of majoritarian democracy. The book closes with a discussion of how epistemic democracy might be undermined, using as case studies the Trump and Brexit campaigns.

The third space can simultaneously be a safe haven for experimentation and creativity and a risky space in which there is likely to be contestation and uncertainty. Understanding the strategic role in examining and activating third spaces is necessary, which applies not only to organizations that seek to apply the contemporary concept of third space in either digital or face-to-face settings but also to individuals who exist as actors in third-space environments. These organizations and individuals often have to perform outside of the first space, a dominant social or settler colonial identity group. Third-Space Exploration in Education investigates the knowledge, relationships, legitimacies, and languages that problematize and accommodate the paradoxes, tensions, and possibilities at the heart of understanding education-related third-space environments. The book is useful in providing insights and support for readers concerned with the creation, management, negotiation, or reconceptualization of expertise, knowledge, information, and organizational development within culturally diverse third-space communities and environments. This reference work is ideal for audiences in various disciplines centering on education as well as interdisciplinary areas or areas that can relate to education such as ethnic studies, sociology, psychology, medicine, technology, and business.

In this volume drawn from the VLSI Handbook, the focus is on logic design and compound semiconductor digital integrated circuit technology. Expert discussions cover topics ranging from the basics of logic expressions and switching theory to sophisticated programmable logic devices and the design of GaAs MESFET and HEMT logic circuits. Logic Design

This book originated out of a desire to combine topics on vibrational absorption, Raman scattering, vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) and Raman optical activity (VROA) into one source. The theoretical details of these processes are presented in ten different chapters. Using dispersive and Fourier transform techniques, the instrumentation involved in these spectral measurements are given in three chapters. Major emphasis is placed on the newer techniques, i.e. VCD and VROA, with the conventional vibrational absorption and vibrational Raman scattering methods incorporated as natural parts of the newer methods. Features of this book: • Comprehensive coverage of vibrational circular dichroism and vibrational Raman optical activity. • Coverage of theoretical and instrumental details. • A comprehensive survey of VCD and VROA applications is included, so that the reader can get an overview of theory, instrumentation and applications in one source. The topics covered are of an advanced level, which makes this book invaluable for graduate students and practising scientists in vibrational spectroscopy.

How many ways do exist to mix different ingredients, how many chances to win a gambling game, how many possible paths going from one place to another in a network ? To this kind of questions Mathematics applied to computer gives a stimulating and exhaustive answer. This text, presented in three parts (Combinatorics, Probability, Graphs) addresses all those who wish to acquire basic or advanced knowledge in combinatorial theories. It is actually also used as a textbook. Basic and advanced theoretical elements are presented through simple applications like the Sudoku game, search engine algorithm and other easy to grasp applications. Through the progression from simple to complex, the teacher acquires knowledge of the state of the art of combinatorial theory. The non conventional simultaneous presentation of algorithms, programs and theory permits a powerful mixture of theory and practice. All in all, the originality of this approach gives a refreshing view on combinatorial theory.

Drawing upon tense and aspect theories, temporal logics, and temporal databases, this cross-discipline book examines relevant issues from the three areas, developing a unified theoretical framework that can be used to build natural language interfaces to temporal databases.

Continually increasing demands on infrastructures mean that maintenance and renewal require timely, appropriate action that maximizes benefits while minimizing cost. To be as well informed as possible, decision-makers must have an optimal understanding of an infrastructure's condition-what it is now, and what it is expected to be in the future. Wri

This book is a collection of notes exploring multiplanes and multispheres using Grassmann algebra with Mathematica. A multiplane is an m-dimensional generalization of the notions of point, line, plane and hyperplane. A multisphere is an m-dimensional generalization of the notions of point-pair, circle, sphere and hypersphere. Grassmann algebra is a generalization of the notions of scalars, vectors and vector spaces. Mathematica is a system for doing mathematics on a computer.Grassmann algebra has now emerged as one of the more important tools for exploring multidimensional geometry and mathematical physics. It not only generalizes the classic vector algebra to enable construction of (unlocated) bivectors, trivectors and multivectors, it is also an algebra par excellence for working with located entities such as points, lines, planes and multiplanes.But multiplanes are not alone in their space. To every multiplane corresponds a docked multisphere and vice versa. (A docked multisphere passes through the origin.) Corresponding points on a multiplane-multisphere pair are inverses. And because we can easily dock a multisphere by adding a displacement vector to its points, we can work with multispheres by operating on their corresponding multiplanes. For example: we can intersect two multispheres, or a multisphere and a multiplane; construct the best-fit multisphere to a system of points; compute the complex of circles for a Clifford circle theorem, or generate the in-multisphere of a simplex.
