By Rolf Pfeifer, Josh Bongard. 2007
How could the body influence our thinking when it seems obvious that the brain controls the body? In How the…
Body Shapes the Way We Think, Rolf Pfeifer and Josh Bongard demonstrate that thought is not independent of the body but is tightly constrained, and at the same time enabled, by it. They argue that the kinds of thoughts we are capable of have their foundation in our embodiment--in our morphology and the material properties of our bodies. This crucial notion of embodiment underlies fundamental changes in the field of artificial intelligence over the past two decades, and Pfeifer and Bongard use the basic methodology of artificial intelligence--"understanding by building"--to describe their insights. If we understand how to design and build intelligent systems, they reason, we will better understand intelligence in general. In accessible, nontechnical language, and using many examples, they introduce the basic concepts by building on recent developments in robotics, biology, neuroscience, and psychology to outline a possible theory of intelligence. They illustrate applications of such a theory in ubiquitous computing, business and management, and the psychology of human memory. Embodied intelligence, as described by Pfeifer and Bongard, has important implications for our understanding of both natural and artificial intelligence.Elementarteilchen und ihre Wechselwirkungen: Eine Übersicht

By Anne Sophie Meincke. 2020
According to dispositional realism, or dispositionalism, the entities inhabiting our world possess irreducibly dispositional properties – often called ‘powers’ –…
by means of which they are sources of change. Dispositionalism has become increasingly popular among metaphysicians in the last three decades as it offers a realist account of causation and provides novel avenues for understanding modality, laws of nature, agency, free will and other key concepts in metaphysics. At the same time, it is receiving growing interest among philosophers of science. This reflects the substantial role scientific findings play in arguments for dispositionalism which, as a metaphysics of science, aims to unveil the very foundations of science. The present collection of essays brings together both strands of interest. It elucidates the ontological profile of dispositionalism by exploring its ontological commitments, and it discusses these from the perspective of the philosophy of science. The essays are written by both proponents of dispositionalism and sceptics so as to initiate an open-minded, constructive dialogue.Navigational Enterprises in Europe and its Empires, 1730–1850 (Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies Series)

Pharma-, Kosmetik- und Bioindustrie sind aus hygienischen Grunden, die Chemische- und Farbenindustrie aus Grunden der Produktreinheit auf einwandfreie Sauberkeit ihrer Prozesseinrichtungen angewiesen. Durch Optimierung der Reinigbarkeit lassen sich bei Produkten, die fur den menschlichen Konsum bestimmt sind, Kontaminationen und Ruckrufaktionen vermindern bzw. vermeiden und Anforderungen des Verbraucherschutzes leichter erfullen. In allen Industriezweigen konnen durch Hygienic Design erhebliche Kosten fur den Reinigungsaufwand und zur Reduzierung der Umweltbelastung eingespart werden. Das vorliegende Buch gibt u.a. Antworten auf folgende Fragen: Welche Regelungen, Leitlinien und Normen zur Gestaltung unter hygienischen bzw. reinigungstechnischen Gesichtspunkten sind verfugbar und verpflichtend? Was ist Stand der Technik? Welches sind grundlegende Problembereiche? Welche konstruktiven Verbesserungen sind moglich? Neben rechtlichen Anforderungen werden theoretische Grundlagen, Fragen des Einsatzes von Werkstoffen, notwendige Oberflachenqualitaten sowie hygienegerechte Dichtungs- und Maschinenelemente diskutiert. Fur Anlagen, Apparate, Komponenten, Prozessumgebung und raumliche Ausstattungen werden anhand vieler konstruktiver Praxisbeispiele Schwachstellen und Problembereiche sowie Moglichkeiten zu deren Verbesserung dargestellt. Das Buch richtet sich an Ingenieure im konstruktiven Bereich der genannten Industriezweige im Anlagenbau und in der Zulieferindustrie. Betriebsangehorige, die fur Risikoanalysen, Qualitat und Produktsicherheit bei der Produktherstellung verantwortlich sind, erhalten viele praktische Hinweise auf apparatives Design.Cultures of Wellbeing: Method, Place, Policy
