| Debates in the digital humanities / Matthew K. Gold, editor | |
| Gold, Matthew K | |
| What is digital humanities (DH) and what's it doing in college English departments? Can DH provide meaningful opportunities for scholars seeking alternatives to tenure-track faculty employment? Do social media platforms like Twitter trivialize DH's professional discourse? Can DH save the humanities? These and other questions are addressed in this collection of essays and briefer blog posts by US contributors in anthropology, English, digital medi ... | |

| Information ergonomics : a theoretical approach and practical experience in transportation / Michael Stein, Peter Sandl, editors | |
| Stein, Michael | |
| The variety and increasing availability of hypermedia information systems, which are used in stationary applications like operators' consoles as well as mobile systems, e.g. driver information and navigation systems in automobiles form a foundation for the mediatization of the society.

| Viability of hybrid systems : a controllability operator approach / G. Labinaz, M. Guay | |
| Labinaz, G | |
| The problem of viability of hybrid systems is considered in this work. A model for a hybrid system is developed including a means of including three forms of uncertainty: transition dynamics, structural uncertainty, and parametric uncertainty. A computational basis for viability of hybrid systems is developed and applied to three control law classes. An approach is developed for robust viability based on two extensions of the controllability oper ... | |

| Normal forms, melnikov functions and bifurcations of limit cycles / Maoan Han, Pei Yu | |
| Han, Maoan | |
| Dynamical system theory has developed rapidly over the past fifty years. It is a subject upon which the theory of limit cycles has a significant impact for both theoretical advances and practical solutions to problems. Hopf bifurcation from a center or a focus is integral to the theory of bifurcation of limit cycles, for which normal form theory is a central tool. Although Hopf bifurcation has been studied for more than half a century, and normal ... | |

| Hjorth, Larissa | |
| The iPhone represents an important moment in both the short history of mobile media and the long history of cultural technologies. Like the Walkman of the 1980s, it marks a juncture in which notions about identity, individualism, lifestyle and sociality require rearticulation. this book explores not only the iPhone's particular characteristics, uses and "affects," but also how the "iPhone moment" functions as a barometer for broader patterns of c ... | |

| Software abstractions : logic, language, and analysis / Daniel Jackson | |
| Jackson, Daniel, 1963- | |
| In Software Abstractions Daniel Jackson introduces an approach to software design that draws on traditional formal methods but exploits automated tools to find flaws as early as possible. This approach--which Jackson calls "lightweight formal methods" or "agile modeling"--takes from formal specification the idea of a precise and expressive notation based on a tiny core of simple and robust concepts but replaces conventional analysis based on theo ... | |

| Assembly language programming : ARM Cortex-M3 / Vincent Mahout | |
| Mahout, Vincent | |
| The best way to understand how assembly language programming works is to learn one in detail, says Mahout (automatic control and hardware computing, Toulouse U., France). All assembly languages are short-lived, he says, because they die when the hardware they are written for is superseded, 20 years as the very longest. He dissects programming in the assembly language of a microcontroller constructed about an ARM Cortex-M3 core for three reasons: ... | |

| Grammars for language and genes : theoretical and empirical investigations / David Chiang ; foreword by Aravind K. Joshi | |
| Chiang, David (David Wei) | |
| Grammars are gaining importance in natural language processing and computational biology as a means of encoding theories and structuring algorithms. But one serious obstacle to applications of grammars is that formal language theory traditionally classifies grammars according to their weak generative capacity (what sets of strings they generate) and tends to ignore strong generative capacity (what sets of structural descriptions they generate) ev ... | |

| The voice in the machine : building computers that understand speech / Roberto Pieraccini | |
| Pieraccini, Roberto, 1955- | |
| Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey famously featured HAL, a computer with the ability to hold lengthy conversations with his fellow space travelers. More than forty years later, we have advanced computer technology that Kubrick never imagined, but we do not have computers that talk and understand speech as HAL did. Is it a failure of our technology that we have not gotten much further than an automated voice that tells us to "say o ... | |

| Robust speech recognition of uncertain or missing data / edited by Dorothea Kolossa, Reinhold Hab-Umbach | |
| Kolossa, Dorothea | |
| Automatic speech recognition suffers from a lack of robustness with respect to noise, reverberation and interfering speech. The growing field of speech recognition in the presence of missing or uncertain input data seeks to ameliorate those problems by using not only a preprocessed speech signal but also an estimate of its reliability to selectively focus on those segments and features that are most reliable for recognition.
