“We do not know where Silicon Valley is really located”, Feldman writes, because these types of organization, when they are dynamic, are moving and fluid. Innovation and production ecosystems or clusters are proliferating today because they seem to be adapted to the demands of innovation, growth and employment. The process leading to their institutionalization escapes a summary analysis of the behavior triggered by monetary incentives or, at the very least, makes it richer. The relational aspect becomes predominant, the interactions between the participants testify to the difficulty of separating the geographical and social dimensions. In the most prominent American clusters, public/private linkages and the building of social links express the centrality of networks in the innovation process. The European vision seeks to articulate entrepreneurial discoveries with vertical public interventions. The competitiveness poles in France suffer from the fact that public choices seem to be torn between two contradictory objectives: efficiency and equity.

Responsible Innovation. For some, this expression is only an oxymoron or, worse, a means of masking with a sheet of virtue economic practices that would otherwise appear selfish and self-interested. For others, theorists and actors of innovation, this expression represents a formidable lever of action and a rich conceptual source from which to draw new ways of innovating. The articulation between different levels of norms – economic and ethical, to which we can add the legal dimension – is not new, and is the subject of an in-depth reflection, decades old, around the idea of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). By taking up some debates on CSR, most of which are foreign to the current authors of responsible innovation, this book examines the various justifications that CSR brings in order to convince economic players, subject to powerful market forces, of their responsible commitment. But these are not enough. The book also explores the specific contribution of the concept of responsible innovation to coping with the technological, social and political breakthroughs generated by innovation, and is based on philosophical resources such as the ethics of virtue and the ethics of “care”.

As the state-of-the-art imaging technologies became more and more advanced, yielding scientific data at unprecedented detail and volume, the need to process and interpret all the data has made image processing and computer vision increasingly important. Sources of data that have to be routinely dealt with today's applications include video transmission, wireless communication, automatic fingerprint processing, massive databanks, non-weary and accurate automatic airport screening, robust night vision, just to name a few. Multidisciplinary inputs from other disciplines such as physics, computational neuroscience, cognitive science, mathematics, and biology will have a fundamental impact in the progress of imaging and vision sciences. One of the advantages of the study of biological organisms is to devise very different type of computational paradigms by implementing a neural network with a high degree of local connectivity. This is a comprehensive and rigorous reference in the area of biologically motivated vision sensors. The study of biologically visual systems can be considered as a two way avenue. On the one hand, biological organisms can provide a source of inspiration for new computational efficient and robust vision models and on the other hand machine vision approaches can provide new insights for understanding biological visual systems. Along the different chapters, this book covers a wide range of topics from fundamental to more specialized topics, including visual analysis based on a computational level, hardware implementation, and the design of new more advanced vision sensors. The last two sections of the book provide an overview of a few representative applications and current state of the art of the research in this area. This makes it a valuable book for graduate, Master, PhD students and also researchers in the field.

Die technische Komplexitat von Gebauden hat massiv zuggenommen. Fast alle Bereiche der Gebaudetechnik sind heute zumindest teilweise automatisiert, um z. B. das Raumklima zu optimieren, den Energieverbrauch zu senken, Brand- und Rauchentwicklung fruhzeitig zu erkennen und zu unterbinden und im Ganzen eine kostengunstigere Bewirtschaftung zu ermoglichen. Numerische Simulationsverfahren sind daher aus der Gebaudeplanung und im Bestand nicht mehr wegzudenken und werden auf allen Gebieten der Bauphysik eingesetzt. Ihre Anwendung erfordert Hintergrundwissen zu den verwendeten Berechnungsverfahren, um sie wirtschaftlich einzusetzen und Fehler zu vermeiden. Auch die Modellgenauigkeit spielt fur die Interpretation von Simulationsergebnissen eine bedeutende Rolle und wird haufig unterschatzt, ihre Verifikation muss nachvollziehbar sein. Au?erdem sind aufgrund von Vereinfachungen manche Ergebnisse nur fur bestimmte Parameter brauchbar. Nicht zuletzt erfordert die Anwendung und Interpretation von Simulationen auch die Berucksichtigung von eventuellen Ungenauigkeiten der Eingabeparameter. Der Bauphysik-Kalender 2015 gibt wertvolle Praxishinweise zur Softwareanwendung anhand von Beispielen.

With the United States' superpower status rivalled by a rising China and emerging powers like India and Brazil playing a growing role in international affairs, the global balance of power is shifting. But what does this mean for the future of the international order? Will China dominate the 21st Century? Will the so-called BRICS prove to be a disruptive force in global affairs? Are we headed towards a world marked by frequent strife, or will the end of Western dominance make the world more peaceful? In this provocative new book, Oliver Stuenkel argues that our understanding of global order and predictions about its future are limited because we seek to imagine the post-Western world from a parochial Western-centric perspective. Such a view is increasingly inadequate in a world where a billions of people regard Western rule as a temporary aberration, and the rise of Asia as a return to normalcy. In reality, China and other rising powers that elude the simplistic extremes of either confronting or joining existing order are quietly building a «parallel order» which complements today's international institutions and increases rising powers' autonomy. Combining accessibility with expert sensitivity to the complexities of the global shift of power, Stuenkel's vision of a post-Western world will be core reading for students and scholars of contemporary international affairs, as well as anyone interested in the future of global politics. «A fascinating interpretation of our understanding of politics and global affairs, which demonstrates the evolving nature of power today. Oliver Stuenkel presents a compelling argument – not just about the „Rise of the Rest“, but also the overlooked power and influence of the non-Western world. Highly engaging and instructive.» Dr Shashi Tharoor, India’s Minister of State for External Affairs (2009-10) «Oliver Stuenkel is one of the best new voices in the field of international politics. In Post-Western World, he explores the primary challenges of the global order and critiques the parochial, Eurocentric vision which conforms to international power structures. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand what a multipolar world order would look like and how it might be effectively realized.» Celso Amorim, Brazil’s Minister of External Relations (1993-5, 2003-11) and Minister of Defence (2011-15)

Data Science gets thrown around in the press like it's magic. Major retailers are predicting everything from when their customers are pregnant to when they want a new pair of Chuck Taylors. It's a brave new world where seemingly meaningless data can be transformed into valuable insight to drive smart business decisions. But how does one exactly do data science? Do you have to hire one of these priests of the dark arts, the «data scientist,» to extract this gold from your data? Nope. Data science is little more than using straight-forward steps to process raw data into actionable insight. And in Data Smart, author and data scientist John Foreman will show you how that's done within the familiar environment of a spreadsheet. Why a spreadsheet? It's comfortable! You get to look at the data every step of the way, building confidence as you learn the tricks of the trade. Plus, spreadsheets are a vendor-neutral place to learn data science without the hype. But don't let the Excel sheets fool you. This is a book for those serious about learning the analytic techniques, the math and the magic, behind big data. Each chapter will cover a different technique in a spreadsheet so you can follow along: Mathematical optimization, including non-linear programming and genetic algorithms Clustering via k-means, spherical k-means, and graph modularity Data mining in graphs, such as outlier detection Supervised AI through logistic regression, ensemble models, and bag-of-words models Forecasting, seasonal adjustments, and prediction intervals through monte carlo simulation Moving from spreadsheets into the R programming language You get your hands dirty as you work alongside John through each technique. But never fear, the topics are readily applicable and the author laces humor throughout. You'll even learn what a dead squirrel has to do with optimization modeling, which you no doubt are dying to know.

Вы решили профессионально заняться дизайном интерьера как индивидуальный предприниматель или открыть свою студию. Что вам нужно знать прежде всего? Если судить о работе дизайнера интерьера по телепередачам, посвященным ремонту квартир, складывается впечатление, что дизайнер просто выбирает цвет стен и диванных подушек или художественно развешивает картины. На самом же деле его задача — сделать реальностью мечту клиента о красивом, гармоничном и удобном для жизни интерьере, а для этого нужна вполне прозаическая работа: измерения, чертежи, технические решения, согласования, составление смет, поиск нужных стройматериалов и предметов мебели, работа со строителями. Кроме того, когда у дизайнера серьезный бизнес, ему приходится думать и о налогах, рекламе, поиске новых клиентов и о многом другом. Наталия Митина, архитектор и дизайнер интерьера, основатель и руководитель студии Koncepcija, развеивает мифы вокруг дизайна интерьера и рассказывает обо всех нюансах работы профессионала — начиная от выбора учебного заведения до создания собственной дизайн-студии.

Адам Смит (1723-1790), скромный профессор Эдинбургского Университета, работал над этой книгой в течение десяти лет. Результатом его труда стало появление монументального "Исследования о природе и причинах богатства народов", во многом определившее развитие экономической науки и заложившее ее основы. XVIII век стал переломным в развитии мировой торговли и промышленности, возникла необходимость в пересмотре существовавших экономических теорий. Смиту первым удалось сформулировать идею объективности законов экономики и объяснить принципы работы свободного рынка. Этот подход до сих пор является основой экономического образования. Идея Адама Смита до сих пор вызывают интерес. Так, Маргарет Тэтчер утверждала, что носила экземпляр этой книги с собой.
