Logic-Based Methods for Optimization: Combining Optimization and Constraint Satisfaction By John Hooker(auth.)
2000 | 505 Pages | ISBN: 0471385212 | PDF | 10 MB
A pioneering look at the fundamental role of logic in optimization and constraint satisfaction While recent efforts to combine optimization and constraint satisfaction have received considerable attention, little has been said about using logic in optimization as the key to unifying the two fields. Logic-Based Methods for Optimization develops for the first time a comprehensive conceptual framework for integrating optimization and constraint satisfaction, then goes a step further and shows how extending logical inference to optimization allows for more powerful as well as flexible modeling and solution techniques. Designed to be easily accessible to industry professionals and academics in both operations research and artificial intelligence, the book provides a wealth of examples as well as elegant techniques and modeling frameworks ready for implementation. Timely, original, and thought-provoking, Logic-Based Methods for Optimization: * Demonstrates the advantages of combining the techniques in problem solving * Offers tutorials in constraint satisfaction/constraint programming and logical inference * Clearly explains such concepts as relaxation, cutting planes, nonserial dynamic programming, and Bender's decomposition * Reviews the necessary technologies for software developers seeking to combine the two techniques * Features extensive references to important computational studies * And much moreContent: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1-14): Chapter 2 Some Examples (pages 15-42): Chapter 3 The Logic of Propositions (pages 43-60): Chapter 4 The Logic of Discrete Variables (pages 61-68): Chapter 5 The Logic of 0?1 Inequalities (pages 69-88): Chapter 6 Cardinality Clauses (pages 89-103): Chapter 7 Classical Boolean Methods (pages 105-125): Chapter 8 Logic?Based Modeling (pages 127-148): Chapter 9 Logic?Based Branch and Bound (pages 149-161): Chapter 10 Constraint Generation (pages 163-183): Chapter 11 Domain Reduction (pages 185-202): Chapter 12 Constraint Programming (pages 203-223): Chapter 13 Continuous Relaxations (pages 225-270): Chapter 14 Decomposition Methods (pages 271-284): Chapter 15 Branching Rules (pages 285-304): Chapter 16 Relaxation Duality (pages 305-323): Chapter 17 Inference Duality (pages 325-360): Chapter 18 Search Strategies (pages 361-388): Chapter 19 Logic?Based Benders Decomposition (pages 389-422): Chapter 20 Nonserial Dynamic Programming (pages 423-441): Chapter 21 Discrete Relaxations (pages 443-462):

Liquid Crystals and their Computer Simulations
English | 2022 | ISBN: 1108424058 | 703 Pages | PDF | 25 MB
Standing as the first unified textbook on the subject, Liquid Crystals and Their Computer Simulations provides a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of liquid crystals and of their Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics computer simulations. Liquid crystals have a complex physical nature, and, therefore, computer simulations are a key element of research in this field. This modern text develops a uniform formalism for addressing various spectroscopic techniques and other experimental methods for studying phase transitions of liquid crystals, and emphasises the links between their molecular organisation and observable static and dynamic properties. Aided by the inclusion of a set of Appendices containing detailed mathematical background and derivations, this book is accessible to a broad and multidisciplinary audience. Primarily intended for graduate students and academic researchers, it is also an invaluable reference for industrial researchers working on the development of liquid crystal display technology.

Giancarlo Lombardi, Christian Uva, "Italian Political Cinema: Public Life, Imaginary, and Identity in Contemporary Italian Film"
English | 2016 | pages: 457 | ISBN: 3034322178 | PDF | 2,8 mb
Despite the powerful anti-political impulses that have pervaded Italian society in recent years, Italian cinema has sustained and renewed its longstanding engagement with questions of politics, both in the narrow definition of the term, and in a wider understanding that takes in reflections on public life, imaginary, and national identity. This book explores these political dimensions of contemporary Italian cinema by looking at three complementary strands: the thematics of contemporary political film from a variety of perspectives; the most prominent directors currently engaged in this filone; and case studies of the films that best represent this engagement. Conceived and edited by two Italian film scholars working in radically different academic settings, Italian Political Cinema brings together a wide array of critical positions and research from Italy, France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States. The tripartite structure and international perspective create a volume that is an accessible entry-point into a subject that continues to attract critical and cultural attention, both inside and outside of academia.

James McElvenny, "Holisms of communication"
English | ISBN: 3985540179 | 2021 | 294 pages | PDF | 6 MB
A central pillar of contemporary communication research is the analysis of filmed interactions between people. The techniques employed in such analysis first took on a recognizably modern form in the 1970s, but their roots go back to the earliest days of motion picture technology in the late nineteenth century. This book presents original essays accompanied by written responses which together create a dialogue exploring early efforts at audio-visual sequence analysis and their common goal to capture the "whole" of the communicative situation. The first three chapters of this volume look at the film-based research of Gestalt psychologists in Berlin as well as psychologists in the orbit of Karl and Charlotte BГјhler in Vienna in the first decades of the twentieth century. Most of these figures - along with many other Central European scholars of this era - were driven into exile in the United States after the rise of National Socialism in the 1930s. This scientific migration led to the cross-pollination of communication studies in America, an outcome visible in the leading project in interaction research of the mid-twentieth century, the Natural History of an Interview. The following two chapters examine this project in its historical context. The volume closes with a critical edition of a treasure from the archives: the transcript of a speech delivered by Ray Birdwhistell, a key participant in the Natural History of an Interview project and founder of kinesics.
